LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bally
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines,
casino-management, mobile and interactive solutions, and networked
systems, today announced the addition of four new titles to its library
of play-for-fun mobile applications: Cash
Wizard™, Golden
Pharaoh™, Fireball™,
and Betty
Boop’s Love Meter™. Based on the successful full-size casino
versions, these apps are available to download now from iTunes®
for iPhone®, iPod touch® and iPad®.
With nine titles now available, Bally’s play-for-fun mobile apps have
been downloaded more than 92,000 times in just over a year.
“Cash Wizard, Golden Pharaoh, Fireball, and Betty Boop’s Love Meter are
all standouts on casino floors,” said Dan Savage, Bally’s Vice President
of Marketing. “With bonus features, outstanding interactive-gameplay,
trailblazing play mechanics, and a GPS-enabled locator feature to help
players find the real slot in a nearby casino, these apps are also
standouts among mobile casino games.”
Cash Wizard, Golden Pharaoh, Fireball, and Betty Boop’s Love Meter join
Bally’s other play-for-fun app titles Cash
Spin™, Vegas
Hits™, Playboy
Hot Zone™, Triple
Trouble Poker™, and Code
Red™. The Cash Wizard mobile app comes to life with incredible
animation and graphics. Like the real version found on casino floors,
the game offers gameplay and bonuses like the Pick-A-Potion, Wizard
Bonus Bet, Mystery Wheel, and more. The mobile version of Cash Wizard
also includes the 1970s hit-song “Magic”, which can be downloaded
directly through the app from iTunes.
Like Cash Wizard, Golden Pharaoh delivers outstanding gameplay like the
land-based casino game. This app features game mechanics like U-Spin™, a
gesture-control technology that enables players to touch and spin a
virtual wheel during a bonus round. Another player-favorite play
mechanic offered in Golden Pharaoh is Directional Wilds™, where a “wild”
dial appears on a reel and spins, making every symbol in line with the
pointing dial wild.
The Fireball delivers a casino-favorite to life in the palms of players’
hands. Featuring a towering, eye-catching upper screen and upbeat music,
Fireball offers Bally’s popular Game-in-Game™ feature as a unique
eight-level progressive. Incorporating Blazing 7s 7x Pay, Fireball
Frenzy™, Triple Jackpot Triple Blazing 7s, Triple Bonus Frenzy™, Double
Jackpot Triple Blazing 7s, Diamond Line™, Bonus Frenzy™, and Blazing 7s,
Fireball delivers a host of classic and popular Bally titles in this one
amazing game.
Betty Boop’s Love Meter brings to life America’s sweetheart in an
engaging and fun mobile game. Featuring Betty and her lovable sidekick
Pudgy, this slot game offers nine great bonuses available at any bet and
a variety of enticing progressive jackpots to be won. Like the real
game, players will especially love bonuses such as “How Hot Are You?”,
where they place their thumbs on the touchscreen to have their “love
temperature” read.
Each of these apps from Bally are Game Center-enabled, allowing players
to track their progress and compete against each other on leader boards
and against themselves to earn virtual badges and rewards. Players and
casino operators alike will appreciate the GPS-enabled locator feature
found in these and many of Bally Technologies’ other mobile play-for-fun
apps. This functionality allows players to find the real slots in nearby
casinos and plots the location on a map for them.
“We’re growing our mobile play-for-fun application library at a rapid
pace and we’re looking forward to introducing additional titles like
Betty Boop’s Fortune Teller™, Hot Spin™, and Lighting Jackpots™,” Savage
said. “When you combine and integrate these play-for-fun slot apps with
our impressive collection of custom casino property mobile apps through
our Bally Interactive mobile business, you can see that Bally delivers
an unmatched mobile experience for both operator and patron.”
