This week on iGaming Daily, hosts Ted Orme-Claye and Ted Menmuir explore a game-changing merger and acquisition that’s making waves across the gaming industry.
Greek multinational tech firm Intralot has acquired Bally’s Interactive International, the iCasino division of Bally’s Corporation. The hosts break down the strategic significance of this move, which marks a major shift for Introlot as it expands from its traditional B2B lottery systems into the competitive B2C iGaming and iCasino space.
The episode takes a deep dive into Introlot’s ambitious plans for growth, particularly in the US market. With this acquisition, Introlot is positioning itself to deliver cutting-edge iGaming and iCasino solutions to US state lotteries, enhancing their digital competitiveness amid increasing pressure from new operators.
The conversation also covers how Gamesys content aligns more naturally with Introlot’s digital-first approach compared to Bally’s legacy focus on brick-and-mortar operations. This strategic alignment could signal a turning point in how legacy casino companies and tech-driven firms approach digital gaming innovation.
Finally, Ted and Ted discuss Bally’s motivations for the divestiture, citing mounting debt and recent financial losses as driving forces behind the move. They also look ahead to the future of gaming industry M&A, predicting sustained momentum into 2025 fueled by market saturation, regulatory shifts, and the ongoing digital transformation of the sector.
