Bally Technologies Inc. celebrated its 80th birthday in style when senior executives got the chance to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange. The Wall Street-listed company was founded on 10th January 1932 in Chicago, Illinois.
“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,” said Richard M. Haddrill, Bally’s Chief Executive Officer.
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’; and being the first gaming company publicly-traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Other achievements are 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.
