Scientific Games plans to buy Bally Technologies in a $5.1 billion deal that would combine two of the largest equipment makers in the gaming industry. The companies expect the transaction to be finalized early next year, but it still needs approval from Bally shareholders and antitrust and gambling regulators. The boards of both companies have already approved it.
The deal comes after both companies acquired other companies last fall. This deal includes about $1.8 billion in Bally debt.
