Big Gaming Tech Merger Good To Go

By Jay Bartos
Published November 20, 2014 at 7:55 PM PST

The Nevada Gaming Commission today unanimously approved the merger of Scientific Games and Bally Technologies, allowing two of the biggest gaming technology companies to become an even more dominant force in the field.

The $5.1 billion merger was approved earlier in the day by the Gaming Control Board at a special meeting in Las Vegas. The merger, announced less than four months ago, creates a company offering a broad range of gaming products, including lotteries, table games, slot machines, and interactive games.
