“This is our first show since acquiring SHFL entertainment in
November and we will showcase a tremendous amount of new content,
including table-game products,” said Bally Technologies’ President

and industry-leading table products.
“Bally is committed to serving the needs of the European market
and operators will see that dedication in our booths at ICE this
year,” said Marco Herrera, Vice President of Europe, Middle East,
and North Africa. “From electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and
proprietary table games, to casino systems and online gaming, we
are offering the most complete and dynamic range of products
available in the gaming industry.”
Games That Connect With Your Players
TITANIC
TITANIC video slots by Bally 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, two base-game mystery features, and three
progressive jackpots including two minor mystery jackpots and one
large top award. The main attraction U-Spin bonus wheel, resembling
a ship’s helm, awards credits as well as one guaranteed Free Games
feature – Heart of the Ocean, Make It Count, and the Safe
Bonus.
The Magic of David Copperfield
The world’s greatest illusionist delivers an extraordinary
experience in The Magic of David Copperfield video slots, featuring
mystery bonuses and a progressive jackpot award. Magical bonuses
are unleashed through the “Death Saw”, which awards credits, the
progressive jackpot, Flying Free Games, or Levitation Free Games
showing incredible video of illusions from Copperfield’s legendary
performances.
Grease Pink Ladies
Rizzo, Frenchy, Marty, and Jan deliver the power of “pink” in
this nostalgic trip back to the 1950s at Rydell High School –
featured in the hotly anticipated sequel to the Company’s Grease
video slot game. Grease Pink Ladies features three bonus
experiences, random wilds, multipliers, and a top jackpot award.
Players experience the Pink Rules, Hand Jive Kisses, and Frenchy
Heartbreaker bonuses, complete with clips and music from the 1978
film.
ZZ Top Live from Texas
Classic rock meets modern slot play as the famous American
blues-rock trio delivers a host of bonuses, play mechanics, and
progressives in ZZ Top Live from Texas. The game awards Just Got
Paid mystery credit prizes or wheel spins to win credits or one of
three free-games bonuses − Live from Texas, Sharp Dressed Man, or
Cheap Sunglasses. Three any-bet progressives add to the excitement.
ZZ Top Live from Texas headlines some of the band’s greatest hits,
including “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Cheap Sunglasses,” “Just Got Paid,”
“Legs,” and “Gimme All Your Lovin’”, as well as loads of concert
footage that will keep players rockin’.
For-Sale Content Includes New Multi-Game Suites, New
Cabinets, and a New Way to Play
Bally’s content for the Pro Series cabinets expands once again
with a host of new games featuring engaging play mechanics, clever
themes, and animated graphics that deliver an exceptional play
experience.
Featured will be two new multi-game suites, each combining four
popular games into one versatile platform, as well as the new Game
Xchange Multi-Game, which offers operators the ability to change or
add titles to the suite. With four or more games, up to four
denominations, and different max-bet configurations per
denomination, per game, the multi-game suites deliver a variety of
options that will please any player. Bally will also showcase an
array of new top-performing titles from High 5 Games, whose titles
already released in Europe are delivering strong returns on casino
floors.
Taking center stage at the show are two new additions to Bally’s
Pro Series cabinet family – the groundbreaking ALPHA 2 Pro Series
Wave with the industry’s first concave LCD monitor at more than 100
centimeters.
Bally’s Take ‘n Play will also be on display – a remarkable new
product that enables players to take their game “on the go” for the
first time by playing a physical slot machine on the convenience of
a tablet. Take ‘n Play is the industry’s first technology that
allows the same slot machine game to be played in more than one
location by streaming the game content directly from the slot
machine to a tablet. This product provides casinos with an easy,
convenient solution for players who get up and leave their machine
to smoke, use the restroom, or have to leave when their friend or
partner is ready to move on.
Bringing More to the Table with Proprietary Table Games and
Cutting-Edge Utility Products
Proprietary table games like Double Draw Poker and One for the
Money will make their ICE debut, alongside the Company’s first-ever
roulette side bet, Back 2 Back, which lets players win up to 1,000
to 1 on a single spin.
Additionally, i-Table games will be on display. i-Table
games’ automated betting and wager- resolution process dramatically
increases game security, accuracy and speed, resulting in more
rounds per hour while eliminating errors, a key advantage on
specialty table games that have complex paytables with high odds
and complicated payouts. The products on display include i-Table
Roulette.
From the Utilities segment, popular products like the ChipStar
roulette chip sorter; the i-Score double-sided display at over 60
centimeters; the MD3 blackjack and baccarat card shuffler; and the
DeckMate 2 poker room card shuffler with Shuffle Flex will be
showcased. Shuffle Flex technology provides casino operators with
greater flexibility on underutilized tables by introducing a
groundbreaking “pay-by-the-shuffle” concept.
The cutting-edge e-Table SHFL FUSION Hybrid features a live
dealer and more than 55-centimeter user-friendly widescreen
electronic betting terminals. For a dynamic gaming experience,
players may switch between and concurrently play baccarat,
roulette, and sic bo from the same terminal with the convenient
touch of a button.
Bally Systems Connect Players to Excitement, Rewards, and
Faster Service
At ICE, Bally will showcase a variety of its advanced systems
solutions that not only increase revenue, operating efficiencies,
and drive floor-wide excitement, but also connect players to
rewards and promotions through multiple channels – land based,
mobile, and online.
Adding excitement and activity to Bally’s Systems exhibit will
be the award-winning Elite Bonusing Suite, (EBS)
including Virtual Racing, Virtual Racing NASCAR®, and DM
Tournaments, which have powered five world record-setting events.
At the show, Bally unveils a new addition to its EBS portfolio –
Bonus Tournaments. This pioneering DM Tournaments feature enables
casinos to run floor-wide tournaments in which both the base game
and the tournament game can be played at the same time, ensuring
that there is no interruption in player-wagering activity.
Before the pioneering Super Slotline, casinos with serial floors
were unable to use advanced technology such as iVIEW Display
Manager and EBS to run floor-wide promotions and events that drive
increased coin-in, new player’s club registrations, player
excitement, and even power world records. At ICE, casino operators
with legacy networks will see first-hand how they can easily
convert to high-speed Ethernet-style networked floors that enable
the use of the latest in powerful floor-wide technologies.
Another highlight will be Enterprise Progressive System,
enabling casinos to manage and audit their progressives from one
central location. Secure, robust, and easy to use, it is perfect
for replacing or consolidating existing progressive system and
controller offerings into one powerful system.
Bally Interactive Brings More Content for Internet and
Mobile, Plus Platforms to Connect
Bally’s iGaming and mobile solutions are designed to give
casinos a single view of the player across online, mobile, and
traditional brick-and-mortar gaming platforms and provide a
complete cross-platform gaming experience for both free-play and
wagering.
The Company will showcase its full suite of interactive
solutions, including the integration of traditional land-based and
iGaming systems for enhanced cross-platform bonusing, player
tracking, and business intelligence; the Bally iGaming Platform for
Internet and mobile casinos; and the Bally Mobile Platform for
concierge casino apps and mobile websites.
Casino operators will experience Bally’s open iGaming Platform,
which enables casinos to choose from best-of-breed free-play and
wager-based poker, table games, video slots, bingo, and
sports-betting content from some of the most popular and proven
content vendors in the industry. This host of new online and mobile
content includes some of Bally’s most successful slot titles, big
licensed brands, progressive functionality, proprietary table
games, and more.
