Business Wire
Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video
machines, casino-management, interactive applications, and
networked and server-based systems for the global gaming industry,
today announced it has reached an agreement to provide its iGaming
platform to Mohegan Sun’s casinos in Uncasville, Conn. and
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., adding to the growing portfolio of online gaming
sites the Company develops for casino operators.
The agreement will enable Mohegan Sun to offer play-for-free
online poker in Connecticut and Pennsylvania in preparation for
online wagering regulation. Mohegan Sun selected Bally Interactive
following a six-month review process.
“We’re thrilled to continue our successful partnership with
Bally Technologies,” said Mitchell Etess, Chief Executive Officer
for the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority. “Our goal is always to
provide our guests with the best gaming and entertainment
offerings, and we believe iGaming is the next step in fulfilling
the demand for regulated online play when customers aren’t able to
be on property. Further, we believe this exciting new offering will
entice new players to visit our properties and experience all that
we have to offer.”
Bally’s iGaming platform offers casino operators a number of
benefits. The platform’s open architecture enables operators to
choose from best-in-class content from a multitude of providers.
Additionally, content is hosted, limiting the infrastructure
required. The iGaming platform is also designed for mobile
integration and is ready to accommodate online gaming beyond poker,
such as casino table games, video slots, sports betting, and
social.
Earlier this year, Bally Technologies became the first company
licensed in the United States as an interactive gaming system
manufacturer and service provider.
“We are proud of our long-term strategic partnership with
Mohegan Sun,” said Bally Technologies’ Chief Executive Officer
Richard Haddrill. “This partnership will demonstrate the advantages
of having an open iGaming platform, which allows for best-in-class
content.”
