Bally reports strong third quarter results
Gaming operations rise contributes to near 20% overall revenue growth for the quarter.
Bally Technologies has reported record gaming operation revenue growth generating US$92.5m compared to US$80m for the corresponding period in 2011.
The technology provider saw total revenues reach US$228.6m for the three months ended 31 March, a 19.7% increase on its Q3 2011 total.
CEO Richard Haddrill (pictured) described the results as “momentous”, saying: “Bally continues to have a bright future as we partner with our customers to innovate the gaming experience.”
Bally’s third-quarter results follow a successful second half of 2011, where a record-breaking US$172.2m of gaming operations were announced.
There was no specific mention of online numbers despite the creation of an egaming arm last October. The company acquired Chiligaming’s B2B platform in February and last month agreed a deal in principle to combine online poker liquidity with Aristocrat in the yet-to-regulate US market. The free-play Golden Nugget online poker offering, the first addition to the B2B iGaming Platform before the deal between Bally and Chili, is understood by eGR to be close to launch.
