Bally and Unity Team Up

April 25, 2013

Most people who are into online slot play will have heard of Bally Technology. They are the developers of some of the top video slot games in the world, licensed by hundreds of online casino sites. However, in the same breath, online casino players will probably be scratching their heads over who Unity Technologies is. So when we further confuse the issue, by stating that bally Technologies and Unity Technologies have now teamed up, and we think that this will change the face of online slot games forever, it is going to take a little explaining.

First off, let’s take a look at who Unity Technologies is, or more importantly, the product they develop and sell. The product is named Unity 3D, and this is a commercial quality, cross platform, 3D game development environment and engine. This is a professional tool that can make just about any type of commercial game for the PC or Mac.

So when we hear that Bally Technologies, who already makes some awesome online slot games, is going to be using the Unity 3D engine in the future, we have one thing to say…. The Unity web player! The Unity web player is an amazing piece of technology, that lets companies develop full 3D games, and then deploy them, and run them, right inside a web browser. If you want to see an example of how effective this is, then check out the mainstream MMORPG named Battlestar Galactica Online. This is 3D, massively multiplayer space simulation game based on the BSG re-imagined franchise. This shows just how powerful the Unity 3D engine, using the web player, actually is.

Derik Mooberry, Senior Vice President of Games, Bally Technologies, has said that, “Bally Technologies is committed to innovation and delivering the world's most popular and cutting-edge games. 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."

We have to say that this is one of the most exciting pieces of online slot specific news we have heard in a long time. Bally Technologies now has the tech to start producing game changing video slot games, far more advanced than anything currently offered.
