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 South
Point Hotel, Casino & Spa has implemented Bally’s award-winning
iVIEW DM and Elite Bonusing Suite solutions.
The South Point is the first Las Vegas property to use iVIEW and iVIEW
DM with the Elite
Bonusing Suite applications to enable interactive, floor-wide
player-bonusing applications such as instant slot tournaments, Virtual
Racing™ events, and U-Spin™
real-time bonusing.
To launch the technology, South Point is hosting weekly Virtual Horse
Racing events for a month, beginning Thursday, July 26.
South Point patrons who are members of The Club at South Point and earn
25 points on their player’s club cards within two hours of each race
will be able to participate in the virtual races that enable them to
select and root for their favorite horse from a field of eight. The
virtual-racing events are available on all of the South Point’s gaming
machines – without interrupting game play. There will be four Virtual
Races each Thursday at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., 8 p.m., and 10 p.m. Players will
split a guaranteed prize pool of $30,000 in bonus credits daily.
“Our mission is to provide the highest quality service to our players
and give them a rewarding gaming experience, and we have shown that once
again as the first casino in Southern Nevada to offer the excitement of
Bally’s iVIEW DM and Elite Bonusing Suite solutions,” said Michael
Gaughan, owner of the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. “We like to stay
at the forefront of gaming technology, and we are confident we will
continue to build our player loyalty with this investment while offering
our guests something completely new to the market.”
The South Point is also using these new systems to enable interactive,
floor-wide player-bonusing applications such as U-Spin Bonusing, Lucky
Match Bonusing™, Dynamic
Random Bonusing™, and DM
Tournaments™.
“We are very proud to partner with South Point in implementing our
trailblazing iVIEW DM and Elite Bonusing Suite systems solutions,” said
Bally Technologies’ Chief Executive Officer Richard Haddrill. “It is
especially exciting that casino patrons in the Las Vegas valley can now
