The first games will be available this month and will include titles such as Vegas Hits™, Tiger Treasures™, Cupid and Psyche™, and Mayan Treasures™.
"Our vision has always been to create a platform that is truly open and gives content providers a seamless mechanism to make their products available to a wide range of the world’s largest operators,” said OpenBet Chief Executive Officer David Loveday. “The fact that content that has historically been land-based is now being made available online highlights the flexibility and opportunity of our offering. We welcome Bally Technologies as a perfect new partner, further exemplifying the diversity of OpenBet Casino."
Bally Technologies’ Vice President of Business Development John Connelly said: "We have been very successful at creating exciting and compelling products for our land-based customers, and many of them would like to replicate their hugely successful land-based offering in the online environment. Utilizing OpenBet's platform, we are now able to extend the reach of our products and make them available to a truly global online audience.”
