Geller Rudman Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Alliance
Gaming Corp. on Behalf of Investors NEW YORK, June 18 /PRNewswire/
-- The Law Firm of Geller Rudman, PLLC announced today that a class
action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court
for the District of Nevada on behalf of purchasers of Alliance
Gaming Corp. (NYSE:AGI) ("Alliance Gaming" or the "Company")
publicly traded securities during the period between January 15,
2004 and June 7, 2004, inclusive (the "Class Period"). A copy of
the complaint filed in this action is available from the Court, or
can be viewed on the firm's website at
http://www.geller-rudman.com/case_signup_sec.asp?cID=307 . The
complaint charges Alliance Gaming and certain of its officers and
directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Alliance Gaming is a diversified, worldwide gaming company that
designs, manufactures and distributes gaming machines and
computerized monitoring systems for gaming machines. The complaint
alleges that during the Class Period, defendants caused Alliance
Gaming's shares to trade at artificially inflated levels through
the issuance of false and misleading statements regarding the
Company's business prospects, which allowed the Company to
consummate stock-for-stock acquisitions with inflated stock valued
at $16 million; allowed certain defendants to sell $3.6 million
worth of their own shares at artificially inflated prices; and
permitted Alliance Gaming to grow and benefit economically from the
wrongful course of conduct. As a result, the Company's shares
traded at inflated prices, topping $34 during the Class Period. On
June 8, 2004, the Company issued a press release updating the
Company's guidance for fiscal year 2004 to "the range of $0.96 to
$1.00 per share, compared to the prior guidance of $1.04," and for
fiscal year 2005 to "a range of $1.20 to $1.30" compared to prior
guidance of $1.40. On this news, the Company's shares plunged $5.24
to close at $16.15 per share. According to the complaint, the
defendants actively concealed from the public that: (i) the Company
was experiencing massive problems/delays associated with the
Company's Wide Area Progressive games in Nevada due to regulatory
hold-ups; (ii) the Company was experiencing massive delays in its
approval and deployment of New York VLT game revisions; (iii) the
Company's margins were being slashed by increased costs associated
with the Company's central and traditional determination products;
(iv) the Company's acquisition of Sierra Design Group was suffering
from massive integrative problems; (v) the Company was losing its
competitive position and experiencing problems in its game unit
(video product); and (vi) as a result of the above, defendants'
forecasts for fiscal year 2004 of $1.04 and fiscal year 2005 of
$1.40 per share, were grossly inflated. If you bought Alliance
Gaming publicly traded securities between January 15, 2004 and June
7, 2004, inclusive, and you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you
must move the Court no later than August 16, 2004. If you are a
