Scientific Games Corp., the slot machine manufacturer built up through a series of acquisitions by investor Ron Perelman, is now retooling itself under new management.

The company is looking to divest its lottery and sports-betting businesses. That could happen through a sale, initial public offering or merger with a special purpose acquisition company, Las Vegas-based Scientific Games said in a statement Tuesday. The company, one of the largest suppliers of gear and services to casinos worldwide, said it intends to focus on gambling content, like its physical and online games.
