Bally Technologies inks iGaming agreement with Mohegan Sun Casinos
October 18, 2012
Bally
Technologies has signed a deal 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, CEO 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’ CEO Richard Haddrill. “This partnership will
demonstrate the advantages of having an open iGaming platform, which allows for
best-in-class content.”
