Bally’s has 14 regional hotel-casinos in the U.S., including Bally’s Atlantic City. Papanier described Bally’s rapid development as one of the larger regional casino operators in the U.S., including the company’s winning bid earlier this year to develop a $1.7 billion hotel-casino complex in downtown Chicago. Gamesys CEO Lee Fenton became CEO of Bally's.įenton told regulators the company has the right to immediately end any contractual agreements with clients “if we think that they ever compromise our position with any regulator around the world.” The international interactive division was acquired in the company's $2 billion merger last year with United Kingdom-based Gamesys Group PLC.
Control Board members spent much of the nearly two-hour hearing discussing Bally’s compliance program and asked questions surrounding the company’s interactive division that has operations in “gray markets,” international locations that may not be legal.
