IGT will drop its lottery appeal against the Gambling Commission.

IGT's appeal against the UK High Court dismissal of its damages claims against the Gambling Commission has been withdrawn by the Court of Appeal in England and Wales.

In July the High Court ruled IGT lacked grounds for damages after Allwyn secured the Fourth National Lottery license.

IGT sought to appeal in September but has now successfully discontinued the appeal. The legal dispute arose in 2022 when Camelot partnered with IGT.

The withdrawal of IGT's appeal against the UK High Court dismissal of its damages claims against the Gambling Commission marks the end of a legal dispute that began in 2022. This dispute stemmed from Camelot, the National Lottery operator, partnering with IGT.

In July, the High Court ruled that IGT did not have sufficient grounds for damages after Allwyn secured the Fourth National Lottery license. IGT, however, decided to pursue an appeal against this decision in September. However, the company has now successfully discontinued the appeal.

The specifics of the legal arguments presented by IGT are not mentioned in the provided information. However, it is evident that the Court of Appeal in England and Wales found that IGT's case lacked merit or potential for success.

While the exact reasons behind IGT's withdrawal of the appeal are not specified, it is possible that the company either decided that pursuing the case further would not be in its best interest or that it reached a settlement or resolution with the Gambling Commission outside of court.

Overall, the withdrawal of the appeal signifies the conclusion of IGT's pursuit of damages against the Gambling Commission, bringing an end to this particular legal dispute.
