Bally Technologies

Bally Technologies is taking the trend toward interactive gaming one step further with its award-winning U-Spin™ gesture-control play mechanic. First introduced on the popular Cash Spin, U-Spin is activated during bonus sequences and gives players the chance to spin the bonus wheel on the touch-screen display as if it were an actual wheel.

Bally followed up Cash Spin with Hot Spin™, which allows players to pick of one of six symbols that trigger how often they’ll be awarded the U-Spin Wheel feature. Players can customize their playing experience to suit their betting style or budget by picking a symbol. Some hit more often, with lower pay; and others hit less often, with higher pays. 

U-Spin is also featured on Vegas Hits™, the industry’s only double-wheel U-Spin game. It features a topper resembling the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign.

Many Bally Technologies games on the new Pro Series™ cabinets feature the award-winning iDeck™, a groundbreaking touch-screen technology that replaces traditional button decks on slot machines. iDeck turns the point of physical contact between the player and the device into an interactive channel. Players explore new dimensions in multi-touch skill-based bonus games, mini-games, and virtual shooting galleries.
