LAS VEGAS, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alliance Gaming Corp.
(NYSE: AGI) announced today that its Bally Gaming and Systems business unit
plans to present approximately 110 unique game titles at the 2003 Global
Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, including Wayne's World(TM), S&H Green Stamps(TM)
and Quartermillion$(TM), a new wide-area progressive link that will feature a
wide variety of bonus games on several different platforms.
The Global Gaming Expo (G2E), the gaming industry's largest trade show,
offers Bally Gaming and Systems an unparalleled opportunity to showcase a wide
variety of new products. These include new video, reel-spinning and EVO(TM)
HYBRID games and a large demonstration area of Bally Systems products and
technology.
G2E is set for Sept. 16-18, 2003 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and
the "Bally Street Of Dreams" theme will be utilized to spotlight approximately
135 machines and 110 unique titles that Bally Gaming and Systems plans to
display.
"Our game developers continue to produce the level of excitement and
variety that gives us the ability to meet the needs of every market we serve,
both domestically and internationally," said Robert Miodunski, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Alliance Gaming. "G2E will be a demonstration of
our strengths, covering multiple slot platforms and a tremendous variety of
casino management, ticketing and bonusing products from a domestic and
international systems lineup that is unequaled in the industry."
Taking center stage will be a new series of reel-spinning and interactive
video slots based on the landmark NBC television program,
SaturdayNightLive(TM). A variety of games featuring such legendary SNL stars
as Dan Aykroyd, Dana Carvey, John Belushi, Adam Sandler, Kevin Nealon and Mike
Myers promise to generate a new level of hilarious gaming action. Carvey and
Myers star in the new Wayne's World game and Sandler brings his Operaman(TM)
character to life in a raucous new slot.
Joining the new Saturday Night Live slots in the spotlight is
Quartermillion$, an all-new wide-area progressive link that offers quarter
slot players a chance at a spectacular super progressive jackpot that resets
at $250,000. Quartermillion$ will ultimately be deployed both on slant-top
and upright cabinet models utilizing a variety of game configurations. These
debut games include In The Money(TM), Lucky Wheel(TM) and Tower Of Power(TM),
all of which offer unique top-wheel, or other special bonus features.
Cash For Life(TM), the new breakthrough progressive slot link with the
unique $1,000-a-week-for-life jackpot, will introduce two new game titles in
the EVO HYBRID platform: Higher Or Lower(TM) and King Tut Treasure(TM).
In addition, another new Cash For Life game, entitled Bonus Spin(TM), will
join the Concentration(TM) EVO VIDEO and Triple Spin(TM) slots on display at
the Bally booth. Other Cash For Life games include Bob Eubanks(TM) EVO VIDEO,
Rich & Famous(R) ProSlot(R) 6000 and Two Times Jackpot(TM) ProSlot 6000.
Anticipating the projected degregulation and subsequent expansion of
gaming in the United Kingdom, Bally Gaming is also developing a series of
games specifically designed for the UK market. These include UK-versions of
such popular domestic titles as Black&White(R), California Dreaming(TM),
Double Money(TM), Blazing 7s and Roaring 20s(R). These games will be marketed
in the UK under an exclusive agreement with Crown Gaming, a major distributor
of gaming machines and amusement devices throughout Britain.
As in previous years, Bally Gaming's Systems Division will again be
featured prominently at this year's G2E gathering. Leading the way will be the
North American product line of eSERIES(TM) products, including eTICKET(TM),
eBONUS(TM), ePROMO(TM), eFUND(TM), eCOMP(TM), eCOUPON(TM) and ePRINTER(TM).
Casino executives with an eye to the future will also be given a glimpse of
how advanced technology from Bally Systems will shape the gaming business in
the coming years.
The recent acquisitions of Micro Clever Computing (MCC) a leading
international casino management systems company based in Nice, France, and
Honeyframe Software Development Ltd., a leading United Kingdom gaming machine
management systems company, will mean a significantly expanded Systems
presence as part of the overall display booth at the show.
Systems representatives will be on hand to conduct live demonstrations of
various product suites from these new acquisitions, including MCC's signature
product, Open Casino Manager(TM) and Honeyframe's AWP (Amusement With Prizes)
propriety products, including CashMaster(TM), a machine accounting software
package and Connexus(TM), a hardware interface between the slot machine and
its software monitoring system.
In addition, there will be live demos of the breakthrough MindPlay 21(TM)
Control System for blackjack table games, produced by MindPlay, LLC and
exclusively distributed by Bally Systems, as well as demos of the ACSC(TM),
CMS, Casino Marketplace(TM) and SDS(R) product lines.
In an important development, Bally Gaming will demonstrate its new multi-
coin and multi-line capability on a variety of EVO HYBRID games at the show.
These multi-coin and multi-denomination games feature a special LED display
that permits the player to select from up to five line-bet options. It also
allows the operator to configure the game in a variety of denominations.
Bally Gaming will also use this year's G2E gathering to introduce new EVO
VIDEO and ProSlot 6000 slant-top versions of the hugely successful Millionaire
777s series of exciting reel-spinning slots.
Amplifying on last year's blockbuster debut of slot machines based one of
the world's most recognizable entertainment brands, Playboy, Bally Gaming will
use this year's gaming show to debut even more new EVO VIDEO, EVO HYBRID and
ProSlot 6000 reel-spinning versions of this seductive brand. Playboy-themed
games presented at this year's show will include two new Playmate Frenzy(TM)
reel-spinners which showcase a fourth reel in the top box, as well as two new
Playboy multi-line, multi-coin games.
Capitalizing on the proven success of unique, oversized "novelty" slot
machines found in casinos throughout the U.S., Bally Gaming will introduce a
new collection of extra-large slot machines. Appropriately dubbed the "Big
Series," the first three oversized reel-spinning slots featured at this year's
show include a new Cash For Life Big Slot(TM) ProSlot 6000, a "Big Monte(TM)
version of the European-inspired Monte Carlo slot and a Big Slot edition of
the new Cash For Life Triple Spin game.
Bally Gaming will also introduce a number of new licensed titles to the
gaming industry. These include interactive video games based on such popular
cartoon characters as Felix The Cat(TM) and L'il Abner(TM), as well as the
popular television cooking show, Iron Chef(TM), and the nostalgic S&H Green
Stamps(TM) brand, which will offer a proprietary bonus feature unique to the
industry. In addition, the Company will highlight a number of new reel-
spinning and video slot devices featuring a variety of proprietary game
themes, including such titles as Captain Jackpot(TM), Bikini Contest(TM),
Multiplier Man(TM), Instant Repay(TM) Castle of Cash(TM), Luau Party(TM) and
Money Garden(TM), among others.
Bally Gaming will also debut 10 new versions of its highly popular Bonus
Frenzy(TM) series of slots with a "bonus" fourth-reel feature. These game
titles include Quick Hit Frenzy(TM), Pool Ball Frenzy(TM), Money Frenzy(TM),
Two Can Win Frenzy(TM), Bonus Frenzy II(TM), Bonus Times Frenzy(TM), Diamond
Line Frenzy(TM), Double Frenzy(TM), Lone Ranger Frenzy(TM) and Fireball
Frenzy(TM).
With an emphasis on doubling the fun and action of gaming excitement,
Bally Gaming will also feature a number of new "double jackpot" reel-spinners
and hybrid games at G2E. These include reel-spinning game titles such as
Black&White Double Jackpot(TM) and Double Jackpot Triple Blazing 7s(TM), plus
Double Dragon (TM) and Double Dragon and Diamonds(TM) EVO HYBRID reel-spinning
video slots.
In the international gaming arena, Bally Gaming continues to speak many
languages of success with a variety of blockbuster game titles for the
European, South American and Asian markets. These include special versions of
the Playboy EVO VIDEO slot for Russian and Portuguese gaming establishments,
as well as Spanish, Russian and Portuguese versions of such popular U.S.
titles as Blazing 7s(R), Pearly Gates(TM) and Bonus Sevens(TM). Additionally,
