Bally—Transparent Reels™
Bally introduces Transparent Reels™, the revolutionary new slot technology that will change the way slot players look at reel slots—literally. The key to Transparent Reels is its unique LCD screen that is superimposed over the mechanical reels. The reels spin like a traditional stepper, with the Transparent Reels effect virtually invisible. But whenever a win or bonus event occurs, this amazing LCD screen comes to life, appearing to “float” in front of the reels. This superimposed LCD video is touch-enabled, allowing players to actively interface with the game. Transparent Reels is being launched with three debut games on the ALPHA Elite™ S9E stepper platform: Dragon Dynasty™, Sky Spirits™ and Twin Tigers™. These games are all configured with five reels, 30 lines and a 600-credit max bet. When the bonus game is triggered, the player is asked to pick one symbol. The reels spin three times and each time the selected symbol appears, players are awarded 1X their total bet. If their symbol gets more total symbols after the spins, players receive an additional 40X their total bet. For more information, visit www.ballytech.com.
