Bally Technologies Expands Video Slot Library with New Playboy Game; Power Progressive Platinum Titles; Line of Bankable Themed Games

Partnership with Ainsworth Game Technology Will Allow the Company to Deliver
Even More High-Performing Video Titles
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--
Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines, and
casino-management systems for the global gaming industry, continues to add even
more depth to its proven portfolio of stepper and video slots with the recent
release of a range of new games.

To support its ALPHA Elite V32 cabinet with new titles that promise to be as in
demand as Quick Hit Diamond and Roulette, Bally has released a number of new
video titles for that cabinet including Playboy Platinum, expanding on the
success of one of gaming`s most popular licensed titles; as well as the Power
Progressive Platinum video slot series featuring three new games - Double Wild
Rose, Rich & Famous, and White Gold.

Further augmenting Bally`s video-slot portfolio is a new series of "bankable"
games. Designed to solve the problem of which games to bank together for the
most effective and profitable presentation on the slot floor, Bally`s new
Treasure Series accomplishes this by creating four new and unique video slot
titles around a common "Treasures" theme: Jungle Treasures™, Savannah
Treasures™, Arctic Treasures™, and Pacific Treasures™. Each of these games share
common game-play characteristics, including a free games bonus that has proven
to be a popular feature with players.

"Our product pipeline is very strong, with a very exciting and well-balanced
lineup of innovative video and stepper slot themes for the global gaming
market," said Gavin Isaacs, Bally`s Chief Operating Officer. "Gaming operators
will definitely see the results of our customer-focused game development in the
next six months."

Last month the Company released the new Digital Tower Series games 77777 Jackpot
and Fireball, which feature a digital bonus tower highlighting an eight-level
internal/external progressive. The Company also launched the Jumbo series of
video, stepper, and stepper with an Instant Spin top-box cabinet. These
dramatic, player-attracting games are debuting in Las Vegas and nationwide this
month.

As part of Bally`s commitment to expand and improve its video-slot portfolio,
the Company also entered into a non-exclusive agreement with Ainsworth Game
Technology Limited (ASX: AGI) under which Ainsworth will provide Class III video
slot content for Bally`s game cabinets in North America.

The agreement allows Bally to augment its own video library with Ainsworth`s
consistently strong-performing video slot titles for Bally`s customers in the
United States and Canada. The Ainsworth game content will be available on
Bally`s ALPHA Elite V20 and V32 game cabinets. Bally Technologies will be
responsible for regulatory approvals as well as sales, marketing, service, and
support. The Company expects to launch the first Ainsworth game ported to a
Bally cabinet late this fall.

"We`re excited to add Ainsworth content to our own video slot portfolio, which
continues to expand and drive greater performance for our customers," Isaacs
said. "Ainsworth`s games are consistently among the top-performing games in
Australia, which is primarily a repeat-player video market like most of the
Native American and riverboat markets in North America."

The agreement marks the first time Bally has ported third-party game content to
its cabinets for traditional Class III markets, although the Company has been
successfully doing this for the Class III lottery and Class II market using game
content from several different manufacturers.
