Inside Asian Gaming

November 2009 | INSIDE ASIAN GAMING 21 Bally Spinning wheel games a big attraction A highlight of the G2E display is Bally’s new Spinnation™ series of spinning-wheel video and mechanical-reel slots. These games feature a mystery or symbol-triggered spinning-wheel bonus top box designed to add an extra level of anticipation to the game, explains the company. Games featured in this series include Hot Shot Cash Wheel™, Monte Carlo Royale™ (in several different titles), and single-line and five-line versions of Cash Wheel™. Cash Spin™ with USpin™ Bally says one of themost exciting games in itsWheel series is Cash Spin, which it describes as an industry first and a ‘breakthrough game’. The product, on Bally’s V32 slot platform features a spinning wheel on the top two-thirds of the video display above the mechanical reels. In the bonus round, the player actually spins the wheel on the touch-enabled screen, providing what the vendor describes as a new level of player control and interaction. Bally adds this USpin feature will also be available on Cash Meteor™ and a number of new titles currently in development. Reel Image™ Video Slot Also on display will be Reel Image, which Bally describes as another industry innovation. Reel Image uses proprietary software and hardware to present a series of three-, four-, or five-reels in video format that actually curve to resemble the look, feel, and play dynamics of a mechanical reel-spinner. Digital Tower™ Series Following on the success of its first two Digital Tower games—Fireball™ and 77777 Jackpot™—Bally will introduce three new Digital Tower games at G2E led by Vegas Hits™, a stacked-wheel video slot with a dual spinning-wheel top box.
