Unity Technologies, provider of the Unity multi-platform engine and development tools, today announced a multi-year strategic partnership with Bally Technologies, a leader in slots, video machines, casino-management, interactive applications and networked and server-based systems for the global gaming industry. By combining the power of the Unity engine with the breadth and depth of Bally Technologies’ offerings, Bally Technologies will be able to build the most innovative electronic gaming offerings on the market.

Unity, used by slot manufacturers and online gambling companies around the world to create some of the most exciting and compelling interactive gambling content, is one of the most widely adopted middleware solutions for development in the gambling industry. The Unity developer community is more than 1.8 million developers strong and includes thousands of game studios across the world, both large and small. Unity is an excellent solution for gambling companies (land-based, online & mobile) looking to work with development houses already familiar with the powerful, deep, and efficient development tools.

"Bally Technologies is committed to innovation and delivering the world’s most popular and cutting-edge games," said Derik Mooberry, Senior Vice President of Games, Bally Technologies. "We look forward to working closely with Unity Technologies and using the Unity solutions to help continue our innovation and development of highly entertaining game content for casino operators and players.”

Unity is known for its efficient design, enabling wild creativity while keeping development cycles and costs down. In-editor play testing allows for lightning fast iteration and the excellent art pipeline enables art assets to be saved from any popular art tool (Photoshop, Maya, Modo, and more) in order to effect change to every instance of that asset across the project automatically.
