US-based games and systems developer Bally Technologies has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Chiligaming's B2B i-gaming platform.

The acquisition provides an open, cloud-based platform for Bally to offer an integrated traditional and online casino solution to operators who will be able to leverage their land-based gaming operations with a unified view of players' trends and behaviours.

Chiligaming offers a comprehensive plug-and-play i-gaming platform, application software and interface for the global gaming market.

"The design of our i-gaming platform is that it is cloud-based, open, and interoperable, which means that our casino customers will have the ability to choose best-of-breed poker, slot and table products to use in conjunction with the platform, while having a deep integration with our proven Bally land-based systems," said Bryan Kelly, Bally's senior VP of technology.

The acquisition of Chiligaming's i-gaming platform follows Bally's recent purchase of a remote gaming server for online integration of its library of casino-gaming content.
