Bally Technologies made a positive balance of SAGSE

What has Bally presented in this new edition of SAGSE?

This is a special year for Bally, due to its 75th anniversary. We presented new products from the five-level progressive line. One of them is Golden Monkey, in Cinevision cabinet, a five-level progressive with a bonus. The placer has to make a maximum bet and obtains a combination which allows to increase one of the ten levels, and he may retire at level 3 and 6.

The most interesting feature is that, if you retire in another stage, you cannot obtain the prize, and you leave it for the following placer, and that is an incentive to keep on betting and get to, at least, stage 3 or 6, besides stage 10, where you can get one of the jackpots.

Besides, we go on with the progressive line Hot Shots, with the second phase, called “All About Money”, which was successfully showcased in Argentina. On top of that, we are showcasing Game Maker II, our traditional multi-player video game, now in Alpha platform, always with 10 games, everyone in multiple denomination.

In third place, we hace the series of licensed games for Bally: Pong, with Atari licence, a video game in retro-style, adressed to players in their thirties and fourties, which used to play this Atari game in the childhood.

Which has been the feedback of the visitors with regards to the products presented?

Golden Monkey was successful, due to the incentive to the placer in the 10th stage of the bonus. Several sales of these products have been made. The most interesting thing is that the operador may buy this product, too.

Which is the balance you can make of SAGSE?

Excellent, not just in the machina business, but also in the sale of systems. We also had meetings at SAGSE with Chilean operators that are evaluating the possibility to zcquire systems and machines for their future casinos. I think we have very good possibilities for the following months, besides G2E Las Vegas, next month. From here and up to the end of the year many important businesses will be developed, mainly in Chile and Argentinian casinos which are already preparing their budget for 2008. This year SAGSE showed its maximum capacity as well as the support of all exhibitors. No doubt SAGSE has consolidated as the third gaming event worldwide.
