LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bally
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines,
interactive applications, casino-management and networked systems for
the global gaming industry, is celebrating its 80-year anniversary
tomorrow. The Company, which was founded on January 10, 1932 in Chicago,
Ill., will commemorate eight decades of delivering innovative gaming
technology to the global casino industry by ringing The Closing Bell® at
the New York Stock Exchange to end the Tuesday trading session.
Bally representatives in attendance will include Chairman of the Board
Kevin Verner; Chief Executive Officer and Director Richard M. Haddrill;
Director David Robbins; and Chief Financial Officer Neil Davidson.
“It is fitting that our 80-year anniversary falls at the beginning of
the new calendar year as we reflect on the many memorable Bally
milestones that have occurred over eight decades contributing to our
global success today,” said Richard M. Haddrill, Chief Executive Officer
of Bally Technologies. “Bally has evolved from an arcade-game-maker to
the world’s leading casino-management systems provider and an
award-winning developer of trailblazing gaming devices, mobile apps, and
now – Internet games.”
Haddrill added, “While many things have changed over the past 80 years,
two things have remained steadfast – the Bally brand has always been,
and will continue to be, synonymous with innovation and with a
commitment to customer partnership. Above all else, those two brand
promises are what guides us each day and will continue to be our focus
as we grow our business to accommodate changes in the industry and
demand for new technology.”
Over the past 80 years, Bally Technologies has celebrated many
milestones, including introducing the world’s smallest slot machine, the
“Baby Bally”; developing the first electro-mechanical slot machines with
a “bottomless hopper”; being the first gaming company publicly traded on
the New York Stock Exchange; introducing the first slot management
system; developing the first skill-based slot machines; acquiring the
casino industry’s leading provider of custom mobile apps and mobile
websites; and the recent launch of Bally Interactive with a portfolio of
online and mobile play-for-free and wager-based games.
