Bally Technologies has acquired the employees of Games4you, a supplier of gaming and engineering solutions for the gaming industry.

The company said that the Games4you team is a strategic addition to Bally’s games business, which includes reel spinning slot machines, video slots, wide-area progressives and Class II lottery and central-determination games.

"After seeing the power and innovation of Bally’s game development team, we are ready to combine our strengths to bring hot games and cool solutions to the Bally portfolio," said Dave Tucker, managing director and owner of Games4you and now software development director at Bally.

"The leadership team of Bally Technologies is bringing vision to the gaming industry, and we are excited to become a key part of building on the company’s 78-year heritage of innovation."

Most of Games4you’s employees previously worked for Atronic Americas and Atronic International before going on to establish Games4you following the Austrian company’s acquisition by Lottomatica Group.

Gavin Isaacs, chief operating officer of Bally Technologies, added: "The addition of Games4you complements Bally’s award-winning global team of game content and hardware developers, and extends our ability to deliver the industry’s most compelling games.

"Games4you’s proven experience in delivering cutting-edge games that delight players and drive revenue for casino operators will only strengthen Bally as a leading provider of creative and high-performing games."
