LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bally
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines,
casino-management, interactive
applications, and networked and server-based systems for the global
gaming industry, today announced that Bally products earned three of the
four most prestigious awards in the annual “Top 20 Most Innovative
Products Awards” competition sponsored by Casino Journal magazine.
The Bally
Mobile Platform won the Platinum award, and SKEE-BALL®
video slots tied with another company to win the Gold award. SKEE-BALL®
also received the prestigious Attendees’ Choice award which is
determined by attendees at the annual Gaming Technology Summit, held
last week at Green Valley Ranch Resort & Casino in Henderson, Nev.
“We are extremely proud to have our products receive this recognition,”
said Bally Technologies’ Senior Vice President of Technology Bryan
Kelly. “We have received more than 50 awards for product innovation over
the past four years. It speaks volumes about the customer-focused work
we do every day and the culture of innovation at Bally Technologies.”
Bally Mobile Platform enables casinos to create custom concierge and
employee applications and mobile websites running across all devices
from one central content manager, allowing casino personnel to create
special content and offers and immediately distribute them to targeted
customers and potential customers. Operators may alert players 24 hours
a day, seven days a week about special offers, even if they are just
driving by the property. Casinos can target content in countless ways –
from age to player’s card level, from the month of customers’ birthdays
to how far they are from the property.
With this cloud-based solution, operators input the information directly
into the content-management system, and Bally’s Mobile Platform
translates the information to an iPhone® app, a native Android® app, a
native BlackBerry® app, an iPad® app, and even a mobile website that
works across hundreds of devices. From there, operators can track how
the patrons who receive the information behave, seeing if they react to
offers immediately.
SKEE-BALL® brings the arcade favorite SKEE-BALL® game to casinos on
Bally’s Pro V32 cabinet. The game includes an interactive bonus feature
in which players touch and slide the touch-screen to “roll” the
SKEE-BALL®, winning “tickets” that enable them to “Pick a Prize” on the
game that reveals credit awards.
Last March, the Bally Mobile Platform and SKEE-BALL® were two of the
five Bally products that earned Slot Floor Technology Awards. The Bally
Mobile Platform also received second place for Best Customer-Service
Technology in the 2011 Gaming & Technology Awards given at last
October’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas.
