(NYSE:AGI), announced today that Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City has gone live with Bally Power Winners(TM), one of the signature products from the Bally Power Bonusing(TM) technology suite, and has placed an order to install iVIEW interactive touch-screen displays on more than 4,000 of its slot machines. Marketed under The PowerPrize Jackpot brand, Bally Power Winners allows Borgata to offer slot players using their My Borgata card the chance at a progressive jackpot starting at $100,000 that must hit by $150,000.

The iVIEW order covers all 3,600 slot machines currently on the floor as well as 500 machines scheduled to be added during Borgata's phase one expansion project expected to be completed in second quarter 2006.
