BALLY TECHNOLOGIES ACQUIRES BUSINESS TO BUSINESS REMOTE GAMING SERVER

Posted: 07 Feb 2012 10:41 AM PST

LAS VEGAS, February 7, 2012  Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines, casino management, interactive applications, and networked systems for the global gaming industry, today announced their Remote Gaming Server (RGS) product for online and mobile gaming.

The RGS product enables access to Bally's deep library of proven casino-gaming content, via a one-time integration. These interactive versions will offer enhanced bonusing, proven play mechanics, progressives, and other outstanding features that only a company with more than 80 years in the gaming industry can provide.

"The Bally Remote Gaming Server allows new and existing customers to seamlessly integrate Bally games into their online portals," said John Connelly, Bally's Vice President of Business Development. "When combined with Bally's systems, the Bally Interactive products will deliver a single-view of the player – on the casino floor, at home, and on the move. The way in which these products will be integrated across multiple platforms will provide powerful cross-marketing tools for operators and dynamic bonusing benefits for their players."

In addition to wager-based gaming applications, traditional casino operators without an online-gaming presence now have the ability to supplement their land-based gaming with play-for-free games using the Bally RGS. This technology will also be used as part of Bally's business-to-business social initiatives in supporting customers when entering the social-gaming space. Bally systems customers will see added benefits over the next 12 months as the Company integrates its Interactive products into its systems, including SDS™, ACSC™, and CMP™, designed for management of casino, slots, and hospitality data as well as accounting, player ratings, loyalty programs, and more.

"Bally's integration of the RGS into our cloud-based mobile platform gives operators the ability to incorporate Bally's play-for-free or wager-based games into their mobile offerings," said Bally Senior Vice President of Technology Bryan Kelly. "This means they can deliver a true, virtualized casino experience for players online and through their mobile devices."

About Bally Technologies, Inc. With a history dating back to 1932, Las Vegas-based Bally Technologies designs, manufactures, operates, and distributes advanced gaming devices, systems and technology solutions worldwide. Bally's product line includes reel-spinning slot machines, video slots, wide-area progressives, interactive and mobile applications, and Class II, lottery, and central-determination games and platforms.

PService Comfortable configuration and administration of VideoIP systems

Posted: 07 Feb 2012 12:04 AM PST

PService scans the video network for Dallmeier devices, automatically detects those and displays them in an overview. Recorders and cameras can thus be administered conveniently. The comprehensive functions range from changing IP addresses to updates for camera and recorder software and up to user and rights administration. It is also possible to restart the devices via PService. PService can be used for all Dallmeier network cameras and all Dallmeier recorders as from the fourth generation.

Structured and clearly arranged The recorders and cameras that are detected during the network scan can conveniently be moved to a directory tree using Drag&Drop and then be divided into different groups, so-called virtual systems. This allows for a clear and structured representation of the entire VideoIP system. The system structure can be saved – and the software does so not only for a local network: When installed on a mobile device PService also saves structure and data of the defined virtual systems for independent networks of different objects. The installer's or technician's work becomes easier and time-saving: For the next customer visit the saved settings can be recalled simply and quickly.

Practical preview function A preview function is available for network cameras, so that the camera image can be viewed directly in PService. A live camera access via browser is also possible.

Individual The layout of the different PService application areas is not static but flexible and movable. The individual windows can be specifically adjusted and positioned.

Always up-to-date PService enables the execution of updates for all network components (cameras and recorders). Identical device models with identical software versions can be updated simultaneously. It is therefore possible to update an entire product range at once and save a lot of time.

All in one The variety of integrated tools makes PService a central and complete service instrument. PService is thus the next step in development and the perfect substitute for the specific and dedicated Dallmeier tools of the past.

Completely free of charge PService is available for free download from the Dallmeier Partner Forum. If you don't have Partner Forum access yet, register for free: www.dallmeier.com/ls/login
