The wins continued an impressive streak that has seen Bally win
more than 80 awards for gaming innovation in the past four
years.
Organizers at the Macao Gaming Show, held Nov. 14-16, invited
players, casino slot directors and managers, and other industry
insiders to a special VIP Slot Room to experience the latest games
firsthand and provide feedback.
Visitors rated games from several manufacturers in four unique
categories, with the highest scores winning awards. TITANIC won in
all four:
- Best Game Theme
- Best Graphics
- Best Music and Audio
- Best User Experience
Bally’s TITANIC video slots deliver a fully interactive and
cinematic experience centered on the iconic star-crossed lovers
from James Cameron’s TITANIC, one of the highest-grossing films in
history. Featuring scenes from the film and music from the
blockbuster phenomenon, TITANIC integrates many of Bally’s proven
play mechanics, mystery features, and a wide-area progressive top
award.
The main attraction U-Spin™ Bonus Wheel, resembling a ship’s
helm, awards credits as well as one guaranteed feature – Heart of
the Ocean Free Games, Make It Count Free Games, Pick Up Feature, or
The Safe Bonus. The game is also available as a near-area
progressive.
“It is an absolute honor to be recognized by players and casino
operators in the world’s largest gaming market,” said Derik
Mooberry, Bally Technologies’ Senior Vice President of Games, Table
Game Products, and Interactive Research & Development. “TITANIC
is one of Bally’s newest licensed, branded games and we believe
players will be attracted to the impressive video content on the
breathtaking Pro Series™ V22/32 cabinet, as well as numerous
larger-than-life features. These kinds of awards show our continued
commitment to creating world-class titles that appeal to players
across the globe. We look forward to seeing TITANIC on casino
floors in early 2014.”
The accolades are the latest high-profile award wins for Bally
games. In September, at the annual Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las
Vegas, the new Pro Series™ Wave™ cabinet shared first place for
“Best Slot Product” at the 2014 Gaming & Technology Awards. In
those awards, Bally also earned a number of other top honors for
its content and cutting-edge technology.
