The South Point is the first Las Vegas property to use iVIEW and
iVIEW DM with the Elite Bonusing Suite applications to enable
interactive, floor-wide player-bonusing applications such as
instant slot tournaments, Virtual Racing™ events, and U-Spin™
real-time bonusing.
To launch the technology, South Point is hosting weekly Virtual
Horse Racing events for a month, beginning Thursday, July 26.
South Point patrons who are members of The Club at South Point
and earn 25 points on their player’s club cards within two hours of
each race will be able to participate in the virtual races that
enable them to select and root for their favorite horse from a
field of eight. The virtual-racing events are available on all of
the South Point’s gaming machines – without interrupting game play.
There will be four Virtual Races each Thursday at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., 8
p.m., and 10 p.m. Players will split a guaranteed prize pool of
$30,000 in bonus credits daily.
“Our mission is to provide the highest quality service to our
players and give them a rewarding gaming experience, and we have
shown that once again as the first casino in Southern Nevada to
offer the excitement of Bally’s iVIEW DM and Elite Bonusing Suite
solutions,” said Michael Gaughan, owner of the South Point Hotel,
Casino & Spa. “We like to stay at the forefront of gaming
technology, and we are confident we will continue to build our
player loyalty with this investment while offering our guests
something completely new to the market.”
The South Point is also using these new systems to enable
interactive, floor-wide player-bonusing applications such as U-Spin
Bonusing, Lucky Match Bonusing™, Dynamic Random Bonusing™, and DM
Tournaments™.
“We are very proud to partner with South Point in implementing
our trailblazing iVIEW DM and Elite Bonusing Suite systems
solutions,” said Bally Technologies’ Chief Executive Officer
