Recently, Bally's has achieved significant milestones such as a strategic partnership with Stakelogic, a leading live casino supplier, following the passage of the Rhode Island iGaming bill. This partnership aims to introduce Bally's live casino operations in Rhode Island by April 2024, enhancing their online gaming portfolio.
