Bally Technologies, Incorporated recently entered into a partnership with online poker giant Amaya. The Amaya Ongame poker network is made up of 25 of the most powerful brands already operating in the US gaming industry. That network is currently used for more than 20 million clients. Ongame is also globally powerful, with major poker networks on the World Wide Web in France, Spain and Italy. The agreement will take the Ongame platform and integrated with Bally’s iGaming platform, positioning it perfectly for the growing online gaming market in the United States, as well as globally.

Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware have all legalized some form of USA online poker, and are now working towards virtually shuffling up and dealing for the first time. This will now make Ongame the preferred online poker network for Bally’s poker provider. Darcy Krogh is Amaya Gaming Group Business Development vice president, and commenting on the agreement he stated, “We are delighted to add Bally as a partner in the US Market.”

He went on to point out that as an established global brand with a broad customer base, his company sees Amaya as a perfect fit and will be able to provide the premier poker software solution for both online and off-line casinos. Bally Technologies’ vice president of Business Development is John Connelly, and he said that his company is “also thrilled” with the partnership. He called Ongame a “world leader in the online poker space.”

The Amaya poker platform is used globally by all the top gaming operators, and their reputation for providing an extensive range of high quality gaming products for both land-based and online casinos and gaming rooms is well-earned. They provide reliable software for virtual and land-based products like sportsbooks, lotteries, casino rooms, poker rooms and slot machines, and are known for cutting-edge 3-D graphics and video technology.

Bally Technologies has a history of designing, creating and operating sophisticated devices in both physical and virtual forms. They started way back in 1932, and almost immediately became an industry leader in the production of slot machines, and other interactive mobile gaming applications. Their line of progressive slots offered online consistently delivers million-dollar progressive payouts, and they also handle slot management, table management solutions and online casino bonus packages. In addition to New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada currently allowing legal online poker in the US, Washington state, California and Pennsylvania are moving closer to online poker passage in the US as well.
