BALLY TECHNOLOGIES AND MOHEGAN SUN GEARING UP TO SET GUINNESS® WORLD RECORD USING VIRTUAL RACING™ NASCAR® MAY 11

Posted: 07 May 2013 02:36 PM PDT

 

 

LAS VEGAS, May 7, 2013 — Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines, casino-management, interactive applications, and networked and server-based systems for the global gaming industry, today announced its Virtual Racing™ NASCAR® will power an attempt for a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® achievement at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn., May 11 at 5 p.m.

The event will also mark the Northeastern debut of Virtual Racing NASCAR.

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, and new players' club signups. Now Virtual Racing will feature a NASCAR-themed car-racing event that lets players actually choose their favorite driver and cheer him across the finish line.

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 Mohegan Sun's slot or video-poker machines.

"Virtual Racing NASCAR will be a huge hit with NASCAR fans," said NASCAR Vice President of Licensing and Consumer Products Blake Davidson. "NASCAR is one of the most popular and entertaining sports, and that atmosphere of competition fits in perfectly with the excitement on a casino floor."

The race will occur throughout Mohegan Sun's three casinos: Casino of the Earth, Casino of the Sky, and Casino of the Wind.

"Our loyal casino guests are truly going to have an amazing time racing with their favorite drivers," said Mohegan Sun President and Chief Executive Officer Bobby Soper. "Bally has been a tremendous partner and this is another example of the power of floor-wide events. It will bring a new level of excitement to the casino floor as players compete for additional wins."

Last month, Bally Technologies and Mohegan Sun set a pair of GUINNESS® World Records when they partnered to earn "World's Largest Slot Tournament" and "Most Slot Machines Running the Same Game Simultaneously."

"We're extremely grateful for all of the hard work Mohegan Sun has done to put on this world-record-setting event," said Bally Technologies' Vice President of Systems Sales Tom Reilly. "This fast-paced, exciting event, across three casinos at Mohegan Sun, showcases the power of Virtual Racing NASCAR floor-wide promotions. Players love the thrill of a new event on the casino floor, and operators see a great increase in business. It's a win for everyone."

The Panomera® truck is on tour again

Posted: 07 May 2013 11:37 AM PDT

After the great success of the roadshow last year the Panomera® truck is back on tour in 2013! From the end of May until mid-July this year, Dallmeier will be taking its patented multifocal sensor system on the road, touring through Germany, Great Britain, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, the Netherlands and Poland.

Whether at airports, railway stations, stadiums, shopping centres or public areas, the Panomera® multifocal sensor system has become part of a huge number of projects all over the world. Not only because this unique camera technology is capable of providing surveillance of vast areas in hitherto unimaginable resolution, and all from a single installation point, but also because it enables a huge range of analysis possibilities that were not possible with previously existing technology.

With Panomera®, functions such as panning and zooming, which are only possible in live mode with conventional PTZ cameras, are fully available also in the recordings (both in forward and backward playback), since the overall image was permanently recorded – no matter which area the security staff focused on live.

By the way: The control and operation of a Panomera® system cannot only be done with the Panomera® Viewer or the Dallmeier management system SeMSy®, but with any management software that supports ONVIF!

Visitors of the Panomera® roadshow can see the performance of this new technology in the extraordinary and extremely spacious truck. The Panomera® truck will make stops in many European cities. Anyone who is interested can visit between 10am and 4pm on any day and experience the amazing Panomera® effect at first hand.

Dates and event locations:

Germany: 28.05.2013: Frankfurt a.m.  30.05.2013: Hamburg  03.06.2013: Leverkusen 02.07.2013: Munich 04.07.2013: Berlin
