Industry awards Bally won five prizes in Casino Journal’s ‘Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products 2008’ awards, for the following products: • Bally iVIEW Display Manager™ (DM), which enables operators to present system and marketing messages on the main game screen, the top game display, and even the overhead display with picture-in-picture capability. Bally iVIEW DM is technically compatible with most existing gaming machines on casino floors. • Bally Power Card™, a powerful new marketing and promotions tool for gaming operators. This stored-value card can be used as an ‘electronic wallet’ for players to use for gamingandpurchases throughout the casino; as a marketing tool to drive incremental sales and reward customers; and as a casino gift card. • Bally Download Configuration Manager™ (DCM), a server application that allows casino operators to view, examine, and manage their floor configuration from a central location. Bally DCM is used today to download Bally iVIEW content across large casino floors (i.e., 3,000 plus games) in a matter of minutes. • Bally Biometric Recognition™, the first product to incorporate distributed surveillance and biometric recognition to solve real business problems at the point of play, including self-exclusion and non-carded player tracking. • Bally iVIEW Software Design Kit, which allows casinos to easily create, test, and deploy Bally iVIEW multi-media content for the Bally iVIEW SmartScreen or Bally iVIEW DM on every slot machine on the casino floor. Bally also won two awards in the 2009 Casino Enterprise Management Slot Floor Technology Awards competition. Bally’s cutting-edge Biometric Recognition and Download Configuration Manager™ were both recognised by a panel of distinguished judges. CoolSign™ Bally’s best-in-class CoolSign™ technology makes its regional debut at G2E Asia. More than 160 casinos around the world already use CoolSign systems as an integrated way of generating and managing digital messages to customers. These messages are created using a central console and can be delivered to patrons via many different media, including overhead electronic signs on casino floors, in-room television, andoutdoor advertising. Crucially, CoolSign also has a direct interface with the Bally iVIEW™ player-interface screens fitted to Bally and other proprietary slot machines. As a result, casino management can beam marketing and other messages direct to consumers while they’re playing games. Bally people power It’s Bally’s people that make Bally products some of the best in the gaming industry. That fact was recognised recently when Cath Burns, Managing Director and Vice President Asia Pacific, was awarded a ‘Great Women of Gaming’ Proven Leader Award by Casino Enterprise Management magazine. Under her watch Bally has built a client base in Macau, South Korea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Laos, and will expand into Singapore and Australia this year. Bally’s Asia-Pacific team achieved a 24% share of the initial slot order made by Melco Crown Entertainment for its City of Dreams integrated resort, which opened on Cotai, Macau, at the beginning of the month. The region made a major contribution to Bally’s new unit sales in the international market, which accounted as a whole for 1,609 units, or approximately 37% of all Bally’s sales in the company’s third fiscal quarter. Ms Burns will be at G2E 2009 with her highly knowledgeable regional team who will be happy to respond to any product- related or technical question that delegates may have.
