Aristocrat Technologies, Inc. (ASX: ALL) and Bally Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE: BYI) today announced that they have entered into a
technology cooperation agreement that relates to the ability of the
system to manage the main game screen’s video and touch-screen
communications.
Under this agreement, both companies reinforce their commitment
to delivering system-driven solutions that use Gaming Standards
Association (GSA) and computing-industry protocols to enable casino
operators to create a picture-in-picture-style interface on the
gaming device to differentiate their slot products, regardless of
the manufacturer.
“Aristocrat and Bally have very similar views of both the
current and future technology needs of our gaming system
customers,” said Nick Khin, President of Aristocrat America. “Both
our companies have decades of systems experience, and feel it is
imperative we cooperate on this important issue.”
“Our companies have worked very well together on our
download-and-configuration products and in demonstrating the power
of implementing the picture-in-picture-style interface with this
approach,” said Bruce Rowe, Senior Vice President of Strategy and
Business Development for Bally Technologies. “We will continue to
cooperate on this and other initiatives that mutually benefit our
customers.”
The player interface technology at the center of the two
companies’ agreement is Aristocrat’s nCompassTM and Bally’s iVIEW
Display Manager™ (DM). This type of technology has been approved by
Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), is in the field today in
multiple markets, and is backward compatible to work on older
gaming machines as well as new gaming devices being purchased
today.
Aristocrat and Bally are confident that their customers want
this type of technology to be interoperable, highly configurable,
and available on an open network, easily enabling third-party
applications and ensuring that gaming operators have the freedom to
create differentiated marketing and service experiences on the
games they own.
