Bally Technologies is a game maker. Not a video game maker, but the company that creates the casino-management systems, slot machines, and video machines that suck up your quarters and dollars when you step foot into a casino.
The company has also introduced a number of Vegas-oriented games into the App Store over the last year, and has added four new play-for-fun titles: Cash Wizard, Golden Pharaoh, Fireball, and Betty Boop’s Love Meter, all of which are based on full-sized casino versions of slot machines.
According to the Bally Technologies Vice President of Marketing, Dan Savage, those four games are all quite popular in casinos. The games feature interactive gameplay and a GPS-enabled locator to help players find actual slot machines in a nearby casino, just in case the fake version isn’t enough.
Cash Wizard, for example, offers the same great gameplay bonuses you’ve experienced before, like Pick-A-Potion, Wizard Bonus Bet, Mystery Wheel, and more, plus the 1970’s theme song “Magic.” All of the other titles offer the same bonuses and spins as their casino counterparts.
Each app is Game Center-enabled to allow players to track their progress and compete against each other on leader boards and against themselves to earn virtual badges and rewards.
All of the new games are currently available for download onto your iPad in the App Store, and can be purchased for $1.99-$2.99 each.
