World-Class Licensed Brands Return to SAGSE
Pawn Stars
Bally brings one of the world’s top TV shows to casino floors in
Pawn Stars, featuring Rick, grandfather Richard (Old Man),
grandson Corey, and Corey’s loveable sidekick Chumlee, from the hit
TV series Pawn Stars on the HISTORY® Channel. Airing in more than
150 countries in 37 languages, Pawn Stars has been rated a top
cable show in the United States, Europe, and Latin America, and has
millions of viewers across the globe.
The game begins when a player chooses their favorite character
from the show. Selling and negotiating adds excitement during the
Negotiation Bonus, where players choose one of five items to sell
and then negotiate with the Pawn Stars for credit awards. With its
giant wheel, free games, 11 wheel-bonus prizes, wilds, pick-‘em
features, and iDeck interaction, this game promises to be as
popular as the show itself.
NASCAR Video Slots
The NASCAR video slot features a lineup of who’s who in
racing royalty – Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon,
Kevin Harvick, and Jimmie Johnson. NASCAR is delivered on Bally’s
ALPHA 2™ Pro Series™ V22/32 cabinet with a near-area progressive
jackpot award. Players select their favorite driver and the game
screens change to reflect that driver’s team colors and branding.
This high-octane experience features three bonuses: The Pit Stop
Bonus, Burnout Free Games, and the U-Race™ Bonus.
Michael Jackson King of Pop™
Returning to SAGSE, but completely translated into Spanish, is
Michael Jackson King of Pop, which features one of the most
widely beloved and influential artists of all time in an exciting,
music-filled game on Bally’s Pro Series™ V22/32 cabinet with the
custom Pro Series surround-sound chair. Offering everything from
mystery wilds bonuses and free games bonus events featuring hit
songs Bad, Beat It, Billie Jean, Dirty Diana, and Smooth Criminal,
this game is highlighted by a U-Spin™ Platinum Record Bonus.
Michael Jackson is represented exclusively for licensing by the

Betty Boop’s Fortune Teller™
Betty Boop’s Fortune Teller, the new companion game to

bonuses at any bet and U-Spin™ and U-Choose™ bonuses. Let Betty
read your winning future after you choose Tarot Cards or discover
the power of Betty’s Healing Crystals. Available on Bally’s
trailblazing ALPHA 2™ Pro Hammerhead™ cabinet, this interactive
game is taken to a thrilling level as Betty prompts you to place
your hands on the iDeck and have your credits and a credit
multiplier fortune read.
For-Sale Game Content Driven by New Play Mechanics and Games
in Spanish
The Pro Series cabinets’ for-sale game portfolio is
turbo-charged this year as Bally presents a host of games featuring
engaging play mechanics, clever themes, and animated graphics that
deliver an exceptional play experience. Must-see core for-sale
title includes Star Signs™ and Zodiac Fortune™ on the
innovative Pro Curve cabinet, as well as Total Blast™ and
China River™, presented in Spanish, on Bally’s stunning
ALPHA 2 Pro V22/22 cabinet.
Bally takes the arcade favorite SKEE-BALL® game to a new
level on the Pro V32. Also presented in Spanish, this game presents
an exciting bonus feature where players touch and slide to “bowl”
the SKEE-BALL, winning “tickets” that enable them to “Pick a Prize”
on the game that reveals credit awards. Also featured at SAGSE is
All That Jazz™, which has a revolutionary iDeck feature
called U-Play™, in which players touch and spin virtual piano
keys.
From must-hit standalone progressives, multipliers, and
entertaining new features that take wilds, stacked reels, free
games, Quick Hit™, Hot Zone™, and iDeck™ to the next level, the
content for Bally’s Pro V22/32, Curve, V32 and V22/22 cabinets
kicks the fun into high gear.
Systems Business Excites Players
Visitors to Bally’s SAGSE exhibit will be able to see live
demonstrations of iVIEW DM, the award-winning
picture-in-picture-style player-user-interface that enables gaming
operators to choose where on the game they want to display player
information and bonusing promotions. iVIEW DM delivers a full
interactive experience that can highlight the resort’s amenities
and venues – functioning as a kiosk at the slot machine.
Bally’s Elite Bonusing Suite™ (EBS), when combined
with iVIEW DM, adds dramatic new levels of excitement and
anticipation to the players' experience. The EBS applications
deliver floor-wide, personalized promotions, second-chance-to-win
events, and the ability for players to earn valuable rewards.
These interactive solutions enable players to spin wheels,
select and root for their favorite contest-driven horse, get
instant rewards on their birthday, and participate in instant
floor-wide slot tournaments. These exciting products, along with
new innovations in mobile technology and the Bally Service Tracking Manager™, which is an
automated customer service and dispatching application, provide
proven return on investment to Bally customers.
