Headquarters
GTECH moved its corporate headquarters from its campus in West Greenwich, to a $80 million 10-story building in downtown Providence near Waterplace Park. Employees moved into the new headquarters scheduled in November 2006, and GTECH laid off 200 employees in December 2006. Company executives stated the layoffs had nothing to do with the acquisition.
After a few years, from 2004 to early 2006, of GTECH struggling to maintain continuity of CTO leadership, GTECH's current CTO has settled into the role providing support to the 2000 game engineers and technologists since April 2006. As of 2005, the company began diversifying into casino management in the United States. On March 2, 2005, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania announced that it had selected GTECH to supply a central control computer system that will monitor slot machine gaming for the state.
