Bally's Elite Bonusing Suite™ Virtual Racing promotional tool has already been a huge hit creating floor-wide excitement on casino floors across America, driving coin-in, carded play, new players' club signups, and tremendous excitement.

Players will select one of eight famous NASCAR drivers: Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick,  Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, or Martin Truex Jr. from the touch-screen on the iVIEW™ or iVIEW Display Manager (DM) player-user-interface on each of Golden Nugget Atlantic City's slot or video-poker machines.

Qualified players who select the winning driver will split a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000 in bonus credits daily during the promotion.

The Golden Nugget Atlantic City will host daily races at 2 p.m., 5 p.m., 8 p.m., and 11 p.m. The virtual-racing events are available on all of the casino's gaming machines – without interrupting game play.

"At the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, we aim to give players a thoroughly exciting gaming experience and we are doing that once again as the first casino in the city to offer the excitement of floor-wide Virtual Racing NASCAR events," said Golden Nugget Atlantic City Executive Vice President and General Manager Tom Pohlman. "It's going to be a great few days for our players as they compete to win while enjoying the thrill of America's  no. 1 spectator sport."

The Golden Nugget Atlantic City is also using EBS to add excitement across their iVIEW network using player-centric, real-time interactive promotions such as Virtual Racing™, U-Spin Bonusing™, and DM Tournaments™.

"We are honored to continue our partnership with the world-class Golden Nugget Atlantic City," said Bruce Rowe, Bally Technologies' Senior Vice President of Strategy and Customer Relations.

Zitro Experience 2013 will be held in Mexico City on 3 and 4 June and it is expected that the event will bring together a large and select group of Mexican associations and business people. This extraordinary event is to be held in the renowned Voilá Antara hall and it includes a range of surprises for the participants, who will be given the chance to enjoy one of the most acclaimed shows within the Mexican scene.

In Mexico, Zitro is the market leader in so far as the number of video games and the revenue collection figures, thanks to the gamers' passion for its machines and games and the magnitude of the prizes given away.

Mexico is preparing to receive the titles which will be presented at Zitro Experience, which are for both of Zitro’s platforms, Bluewave and Blackwave. Aside from these 17 titles, in its Factory of Ideas, the company led by Johnny Ortiz is preparing new games which will be launched in the second half of the year. These games are fruit of the work of many of the company’s departments and a constant investment and commitment to R&D+I, always focused on the market trends.

Zitro applies innovation and creativity to all scopes of its activity. This is why the company's events must always be in line with its products: new games which will take the world by surprise.

As explained by Johnny Ortiz, Zitro's President, "Zitro Experience is an event which will enable us to be in contact with our clients, presenting them with our products and will also enable us to take stock of what is happening within the market. We wish to present the Mexican market with our new product range, 17 games which will undoubtedly take everyone by surprise", declares Johnny Ortiz.
