January 10 marks eight decades of providing trailblazing technology solutions for the global gaming industry

(NYSE: BYI), a leader in slots, video machines, interactive applications, casino-management and networked systems for the global gaming industry, is celebrating its 80-year anniversary tomorrow. The Company, which was founded on January 10, 1932 in Chicago, Ill., will commemorate eight decades of delivering innovative gaming technology to the global casino industry by ringing The Closing Bell(R) at the New York Stock Exchange to end the Tuesday trading session.

Bally representatives in attendance will include Chairman of the Board Kevin Verner; Chief Executive Officer and Director Richard M. Haddrill; Director David Robbins; and Chief Financial Officer Neil Davidson.

"It is fitting that our 80-year anniversary falls at the beginning of the new calendar year as we reflect on the many memorable Bally milestones that have occurred over eight decades contributing to our global success today," said Richard M. Haddrill, Chief Executive Officer of Bally Technologies. "Bally has evolved from an arcade-game-maker to the world's leading casino-management systems provider and an award-winning developer of trailblazing gaming devices, mobile apps, and now - Internet games."

Haddrill added, "While many things have changed over the past 80 years, two things have remained steadfast - the Bally brand has always been,will continue to be, synonymous with innovation and with a commitment to customer partnership. Above all else, those two brand promises are what guides us each day and will continue to be our focus as we grow our business to accommodate changes in the industry and demand for new technology."

Over the past 80 years, Bally Technologies has celebrated many milestones, including introducing the world's smallest slot machine, the "Baby Bally"; developing the first electro-mechanical slot machines with a "bottomless hopper"; being the first gaming company publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange; introducing the first slot management system; developing the first skill-based slot machines; acquiring the casino industry's leading provider of custom mobile apps and mobile websites; and the recent launch of Bally Interactive with a portfolio of online and mobile play-for-free and wager-based games.
