The collaboration with Stakelogic is poised to revolutionize the online gaming landscape, with the launch of a dynamic live casino offering in April 2024, featuring popular games such as Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat.
Expanding Bally’s Presence in Rhode Island:
With the enactment of Rhode Island’s iGaming legislation, Bally’s Corporation broadens its role from a traditional casino operator to a comprehensive gaming provider. The partnership with Stakelogic positions Bally’s as a frontrunner in delivering a captivating online live casino experience to Rhode Island residents, marking a significant milestone in the company’s strategic growth.
Stakelogic’s Technology Integration:

The collaboration aims to seamlessly integrate Stakelogic’s expertise into Bally’s online live casino platform, ensuring a state-of-the-art offering that encompasses the thrill of traditional casino games in a virtual setting.
Rhode Island’s Online Gaming Legislation:
The passage of SB948/HB6348A into law, spearheaded by Senate president Dominick J. Ruggerio and representative Gregory J. Costantino, signifies a landmark moment for Rhode Island’s gaming landscape. The legislation empowers residents aged 21 and above to engage in remote table games through computer or mobile applications, establishing a legal framework for online gaming within the state.
Exclusive Rights for Bally’s:
Bally’s Corporation, as the exclusive casino operator in Rhode Island, secures the sole rights to operate online gaming through its Twin River and Twin River-Tiverton properties. This exclusive partnership, with IGT as its vendor, positions Bally’s as the primary driver of the state’s online gaming initiatives.
Strategic Growth in the U.S. Market:
Stakelogic’s CEO, Stephan van den Oetelaar, highlights the significance of this partnership in enabling Stakelogic to introduce its technology to the U.S. market. The collaboration with Bally’s aligns with Stakelogic’s growth strategy, positioning the company as a leading technology provider in the rapidly evolving iGaming industry.
Illinois Gaming Board Approval for Bally’s Chicago:
In tandem with its Rhode Island expansion, Bally’s Corporation has received preliminary approval from the Illinois Gaming Board to operate a temporary casino in Chicago. This strategic move paves the way for Bally’s to establish a temporary casino at the historic Medinah Temple in River North, aiming for a late-summer opening.
Bally’s Corporation’s partnership with Stakelogic marks a transformative chapter in Rhode Island’s gaming landscape, bringing an immersive online live casino experience to the fingertips of players. As the digital realm continues to shape the future of gaming, Bally’s strategic growth initiatives, both in Rhode Island and beyond, position the company as a key player in the dynamic and evolving U.S. market. The upcoming launch of the online live casino in Rhode Island serves as a testament to Bally’s commitment to innovation and providing unparalleled entertainment experiences for gaming enthusiasts.
