Business Description

Bally Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 1968, under the name Advanced Patent Technologies. Following two other name changes, it became Alliance Gaming Corporation on December 19, 1994, and on March 6, 2006, it changed its name to Bally Technologies, Inc. It is a diversified, worldwide gaming company that innovates, designs, manufactures, operates, and distributes advanced technology-based gaming devices, systems and server-based solutions. As a global gaming-systems company, it offers technology solutions which provide gaming operators with a wide range of marketing, data management and analysis, accounting, player tracking, security, and other software applications and tools to more effectively manage their operations. It also provides technologies to utilize a networked, server-based gaming environment. The Company's primary hardware technologies include spinning-reel and video gaming devices, specialty gaming devices and wide-area progressive systems for traditional land-based, riverboat and Native American casinos, video lottery and central determination markets, and specialized system-based hardware products. The majority of its systems and network and server-based solutions are backwards compatible, which means that its newest technologies work on most gaming operators' existing gaming devices; its new Pro Series cabinets with ALPHA 2 technology will feature a library of downloadable game content and support network and server-based applications; its iVIEW Display Manager (DM) in-game picture-in-picture style technology supports an array of network and server-based applications designed to add excitement and interactivity on the gaming floor; and its Bally Command Center is a powerful, server-based solution that enables download of game content, iVIEW DM content and events, and peripheral updates at the touch of a button, dramatically improving operating efficiencies and enabling gaming operators to respond rapidly to the current business environment.
