Mohegan Sun and Bally Technologies partner up

As Nevada prepares to become the first state to offer an intra-state online poker network, a major casino operation on the East Coast is preparing to enter into the free online poker market after signing a deal with a Nevada company.

According to the Boston Herald’s Ira Kantor, the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, who operate the massive Mohegan Sun gaming complex in Connecticut and the Mohegan Sun Pocono Downs in Pennsylvania, has signed a deal with the Las Vegas based Bally Technologies to offer a play-for-free online poker outlet. The new offering will be ready for action in early 2013 and marks the first East Coast gaming company to step into the internet poker game. At this time, it isn’t known if the online poker offering will be exclusive to Connecticut residents or will be offered to all.
