LAS VEGAS, January 20, 2011 — Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines, casino-management, and networked and server-based systems for the global gaming industry, announced today the completion of a new systems contract with Wisconsin’s Isle Vista Casino that replaces 100 percent of a competitor’s systems technology.
The planned installation is slated to go live in February 2011 at the casino, which is owned and operated by the Red Cliff Band of Chippewa Indians and located three miles north of Bayfield, Wisconsin on the Red Cliff reservation. The comprehensive solution that Bally is providing comprises an array of technology-leading and award-winning Bally systems products:
“Our new partnership with Bally Technologies will deliver a state-of-the-art system overhaul that will produce greater functionality, enhance and provide new customer-focused options, and produce a level of casino data that we have not seen in our history,” said Jeff Gordon, General Manager for Isle Vista Casino. “This installation takes us far beyond a win-win scenario.”
According to Gordon, he and his team chose Bally Technologies because of the Bally system’s current and future expandability, particularly with the manufacturer’s other bonusing and promotional products such as Power Winners™, CoolSign® enterprise-wide media management, and Bally TV™.
Bally’s system solutions will go live with 212 slots and eight tables, and later increase to 300 slots when the property’s owner and operator, the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, opens and moves all gaming operations to its larger and newly constructed Legendary Waters Resort and Casino in the Fall 2011.
“Our systems and enhanced technology products will help Isle Vista reduce costs, protect invested capital, and deliver more powerful player experiences floor-wide across the casino,” said Tom Reilly, Bally Technologies’ Vice President of North America Systems Sales – Eastern Region. “The transition from Isle Vista to their beautiful new casino resort will be fluid and seamless, enabling the property to function with the latest systems products even before the doors open.”
Isle Vista Casino is located on the Red Cliff reservation, nestled along the northern shoreline of the Bayfield Peninsula in northwest Wisconsin. The property offers a wide variety of games including blackjack, 2-deck pitch, video poker, video keno, reel slots, and bingo. The casino is the second largest employer on the reservation, employing around 75 people.
