Bally Vice President of Business Development John Connelly commented on the acquisition, saying “This acquisition provides an open, cloud-based platform for Bally Technologies to offer an integrated traditional and online casino solution to operators worldwide."

“Equally as important, Bally Technologies has also obtained an experienced team of industry veterans from within the online gaming industry, which will help our customers optimize their use of this platform.”

Bally's acquisition of Chiligaming is the latest move that the gambling giant has taken in order to enhance its electronic gambling portfolio. Recently the company purchased a Remote Game Server as well as MacroView Labs, the gambling industry's largest provider of mobile apps and websites .
