At one time, Bally was one of the great innovators of slot machines. While their Casino Management software is still very popular, their games have not kept up with the times. The graphics of their video slots were at least 3 years behind, the math was repetitive (same math, different graphics used over and over).

Personally ... I rarely play Bally games. I know they have fans ... and games like "Blazing 7s" are still popular. Their "Rapid Hit" progressives are interesting --- and I have seen some decent "hits" on this platform ... similar to the Blazing 7s model ... still ... for me, it is more for hardcore gamblers ... and not as interesting or entertaining an experience.

Quartermillions --- again ... BORING!

If Bally came up with something that looked like the year 2008, I might give it a shot (adding an old game with a large screen ... or using a Bally cabinet to house an IGT, WMS, Aristocrat or Konami game does not count).
