LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines, casino-management, mobile and interactive applications, and networked systems for the global gaming industry, today announced that it will showcase a wide assortment of groundbreaking games and systems technologies at this year’s SAGSE Expo and Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina Nov. 9-11.
“The focus of our SAGSE exhibit will be on showcasing solutions that offer highly entertaining experiences to casino players, while delivering a strong return-on-investment to operators,” said Bally Technologies’ President and Chief Operating Officer Ramesh Srinivasan. “We will be showcasing our new world-class licensed brands, lots of fresh compelling game content, several trailblazing new play mechanics, and new floor-wide bonusing applications that deliver a truly differentiated experience across the casino floor on games from any manufacturer.”
Bally will present nearly 40 unique game titles, as well as an array of cutting-edge systems technologies, in stands #401 and #402 at Latin America’s premier gaming trade exhibition.
“Attendees are going to get to see our new Michael Jackson King of Pop™ and Grease™ games for the first time outside of the United States,” said Ricardo Regner, Bally’s Director of Latin America. “These top-notch branded games, along with our amazing new core video titles and groundbreaking systems solutions, will certainly be the talk of the show.”
Exciting Games, World-Class Brands
Highlighting Bally’s SAGSE games exhibit are popular, iconic brands. Taking center stage is Michael Jackson King of Pop, which features one of the most widely beloved and influential artists of all time in an exciting, music-filled game on Bally’s new Pro Series™ V22/32 cabinet with the new custom, professional Pro Series surround-sound chair. Offering everything from mystery wilds bonuses and free games bonus events featuring Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, Billie Jean, Beat It, and Smooth Criminal, this game is highlighted by a U-Spin™ Platinum Record Bonus. Michael Jackson is represented exclusively for licensing by the Bravado International Group.
Grease, inspired by the 1978 American musical film about two love-struck teens in a 1950s high school, is Bally’s first double-play game, featuring two, 25-line games – enabling the player to play two games at once. This globally recognized new brand is available on Bally’s show-stopping ALPHA 2™ Pro Hammerhead™ cabinet.
The Company will showcase an unprecedented lineup of highly entertaining, interactive new for-sale content for its ALPHA 2 Pro Series cabinets, featuring an array of new play mechanics and iDeck™ bonuses never before available on core product.
For its Pro Upright and Slant core for-sale video cabinets, Bally showcases more than a dozen new game titles, including the award-winning Fish’n for Loot™, named “Best Slot Product” at the recent Global Gaming Expo and featuring the iDeck as an arcade-like player input device. This exciting new game introduces Bally’s U-Shoot™ virtual shooting gallery bonus-game play mechanic in which the player touches the iDeck to create weapons for “shooting” at targets on the main game screens.
Trailblazing New Play Mechanics
And for the award-winning Pro Curve cabinet, featuring the industry’s only curved LCD to emulate spinning reels on a video slot, Bally showcases four new game titles, including Code Red™, Moon Goddess™, Midnight Diamonds™, and Money Works™. Included in the Curve lineup are several new play mechanics such as Big Bang Free Games™, Rolling Wilds™, and Breakthrough Free Games™.
Bally’s extensive SAGSE systems solution showcase will feature the Company’s full suite of casino and slot-management systems – SDS™, CMP™, and MultiConnect™, demonstrating that Bally has a systems solution for every size of casino.
Floor-wide Player Entertainment
Featured prominently at SAGSE will be iVIEW Display Manager™(DM), an interactive communication tool used by players and controlled by the gaming operator. This picture-in-picture-style player-user-interface is backwards compatible on most gaming devices with a touch-screen display, and provides a way for casino operators to present self-service player-account access, marketing messages, and secondary bonus games on the main game screen – without interrupting play.
Bally’s Elite Bonusing Suite™ (EBS), when combined with iVIEW DM, adds dramatic new levels of excitement and anticipation to the players experience. The EBS applications deliver floor-wide, personalized promotions, second-chance-to-win events, and the ability for players to earn valuable rewards.
These interactive solutions enable players to spin wheels, select and root for their favorite contest-driven horse, get instant rewards on their birthday, and participate in instant floor-wide slot tournaments. These exciting products, along with new innovations in mobile technology and the Bally Service Tracking Manager™, which is an automated customer service and dispatching application, provide proven return on investment to Bally customers.
