Nevertheless, IGT experienced a decrease in operating income, which decreased from $251 million to $230 million in the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Significantly contributing to IGT\u2019s income, the Global Lottery division reported a modest decline in earnings, from $621 million to $613 million.

The Global Gaming sector generated $317 million in revenue, up from $313 million, thanks to increased sales of gaming machines and better placements in key markets.<\/p>\n<p>The PlayDigital segment, focusing on digital and <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/sports\/section\/basics-of-sportsbetting\/\">sports betting<\/a> services, saw its revenue rise to $119 million, compared to $112 million in the same quarter last year. This growth was driven by expanding market opportunities and innovative product developments, reflecting IGT\u2019s commitment to digital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Operational cash flow was robust, exceeding $460 million for the first half of 2024.
