World-Class Licensed Brands and Exclusive European Games Debut

Pawn Stars

Bally brings one of the world’s top TV shows to casino floors in Pawn Stars, featuring Rick, grandfather Richard (Old Man), grandson Corey, and Corey’s loveable sidekick Chumlee, from the hit TV series Pawn Stars on the HISTORY® Channel. Airing in more than 150 countries in 37 languages, Pawn Stars has been rated a top cable show in the United States, Europe, and Latin America, and has millions of viewers across the globe.

The game begins when a player chooses their favorite character from the show. Selling and negotiating add excitement during the Negotiation Bonus, where players choose one of five items to sell and then negotiate with the Pawn Stars for credit awards. With its giant wheel, free games, 11 wheel-bonus prizes, wilds, pick-‘em features, and iDeck™ interaction, this game promises to be as popular as the show itself.

NASCAR Video Slots

The NASCAR video slot brings the thrill of racing to any casino floor and features a lineup of who’s who in racing royalty – Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, and Jimmie Johnson. NASCAR is delivered on Bally’s ALPHA 2™ Pro Series™ V22/32 cabinet with a near-area progressive jackpot award. Players select their favorite driver and the game screens change to reflect that driver’s team colors and branding. This high-octane experience features three bonuses: The Pit Stop Bonus, Burnout Free Games, and the U-Race™ Bonus.

ICE attendees should also look for Betty Boop’s Fortune Teller, which offers an unprecedented 15 bonuses at any bet and U-Spin and U-Choose bonuses.

Also prominently featured are Bally’s first Europe-specific games, a Multi-Game Pro 22/22 game suite, and games with Super EZ Select button configurations to assist both low and high max-bet market needs. The Company will also display its first player-selectable language games and titles − part of the recently announced partnership with High 5 Games.

Systems to Excite Players in Every Market
