Florida Dep't of the Lottery v. Gtech Corp.
no. 01-1795 & 01-1796
Leon County
In 1995, the Florida Lottery issued a request for proposals for a new contract
for on-line gaming systems. Two companies submitted proposals, Gtech and Automated
Wagering International. When the contract was awarded to AWI, Gtech filed a bid
protest. After the bid protest was resolved, AWI and the Lottery negotiated a
new contract. Gtech filed suit challenging the validity of the new contract and
the trial court entered summary judgment in Gtech's favor. On appeal, the First
District agreed.
