Bally’s Provides Update on Long-term ESG Strategy

Published

on

 

Bally’s Corporation announced a number of notable accomplishments regarding the Company’s long-term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy.

Among them is the establishment by the Board of Directors of an official committee that will oversee further development of Bally’s ESG initiatives (the ESG Committee). Robeson Reeves, President Interactive, will chair the ESG Committee, which will also include Soo Kim, Chairman of the Board, Lee Fenton, Bally’s CEO, and Wanda Y. Wilson, an independent director of Bally’s since 2019.

The ESG Committee will be responsible for continuing to formulate ESG strategies and goals, identify and evaluate ESG risks and impacts, and oversee ESG practices at Bally’s.

In addition, Bally’s recently completed a Company-wide sustainability audit, which will help shape its long-term ESG strategy. As part of that strategy, Bally’s is preparing this quarter to publish its Sustainability Accounting Standards Board metrics for fiscal year 2021, detailing the Company’s ongoing focus on environmental excellence, strong governance, and safe operations. Beginning next quarter, Bally’s will begin reporting under the UN Social Development Goals framework.

“Bally’s is committed to expanding its role as a responsible leader in the gaming industry, serving as an integral partner in the communities in which we operate, and providing transparency to our investors and other stakeholders on ESG topics. Our recent accomplishments represent the first, important steps towards achieving this goal, and I look forward to providing updates as additional progress is made,” Robeson Reeves, President Interactive and Chair of the ESG Committee, said.

In addition to the above-noted accomplishments, Bally’s has also enhanced its responsible gaming platform, attaining the highest rating under GamCare’s Safer Gambling Standard, and launching the “Game in Good Hands” customer promise of a trustworthy, rewarding and responsible brand portfolio. Bally’s also committed, as part of its ongoing support for local and national non-profit organizations, to increase funding of the Bally’s Foundation, which donated more than $3 million in 2021 to programs aimed at curing mental health disease.

Intralot S.A. informs the investor community and its stakeholders that on July 15, 2025 the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission approved the recommendation to award a new Lottery Central Monitoring and Control System (LCMCS) contract to its US subsidiary, Intralot, Inc. following a competitive bidding process.

The vendor awarded the contract will manufacture the counter terminals and self-service vending machines that sell tickets at 4,300 Maryland Lottery retailer points of sale; develops the software that runs the system’s sales and accounting functions; and provide numerous related services that are necessary to operate the Maryland Lottery. The term of the contract is 10 years with a possible 5+1 year extension.

As part its proposal to the State, Intralot has engaged nine local business enterprises (MBE) to service the Maryland Lottery contract. Historically, vendors have used fewer MBE partners, but Intralot believes its new approach will create far greater opportunities for local communities.

Intralot’s financial proposal corresponds to a total estimated contract term price of $260,393,946.

The Gaming Control Commission’s approval is an intermediary step in the award process for
approving any future contract.

Global race and sportsbook technology provider Internet Sports International (ISI) has entered into a partnership with Canton Gaming LLC, a retail sports wagering facility located at The Greene Turtle in Baltimore, Maryland.

NYC Council Rejects Bally’s $4B Bronx Casino Bid

Published

on

 

The New York City Council has rejected Bally’s land-use rezoning proposal for its planned $4 billion Bronx casino.

The City Council voted 29-9, with four abstentions, against gaming giant Bally’s request to rezone parkland for commercial use at the Bally’s Golf Links at Ferry Point property it operates in the Bronx. The move effectively ended Bally’s shot to secure the required land use and other zoning approvals needed for winning a casino license. The motion to disapprove of Bally’s request was put forward by Bronx Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato.

The proposed $4 billion Bally’s Bronx hotel and casino resort, totaling more than 3 million square feet, was planned for roughly 16 acres of parking lots and the practice green area at Bally’s Golf Links at Ferry Point. The complex’s design includes a 500,000-square-foot casino with 3500 gaming machines and 250 table games, a 500-room upscale hotel and a 2000-person event center.

Bally’s, in its official application filed in late June with the New York State Gaming Commission, called Bally’s Bronx a “once-in-a-generation” investment. “This development represents an audacious vision to develop a former landfill and transform it into an economic engine for the Bronx — the borough’s single largest private development.”

Without Bally’s in the running, the field of New York casino contenders narrows to seven. Three developers previously ended their plans, including the $12 billion Hudson Yards West casino proposal from Related Cos., Oxford Properties and Wynn Resorts. The group dropped its bid following strong community opposition.

Three casino licenses are available for the downstate region that includes New York City. A viable bidder would have to secure a two-thirds majority vote from a community advisory committee before a proposal could advance to the next round and be considered by the state’s Gaming Facility Location Board, which will make its final decision by Dec. 1. In addition to a $1 million filing fee, the teams selected would each have to pay a $500 million license fee while also meeting the requirement of a $500 million minimum capital investment.

If none of the bids secures enough committee votes, the state will not issue any licenses.
