Jack Entertainment Picks Bally Systems, Slots

Jack Entertainment, formerly Rock Gaming, has picked a suite of Bally Systems solutions from Scientific Games for its Jack Casinos in Cleveland, Cincinnati and ThistleDown Racino.

Scientific Games Corporation announced that Jack Entertainment, recently rebranded from its former name Rock Gaming LLC, has chosen a comprehensive suite of solutions from Scientific Games’ Bally Systems division, along with 250 Bally and WMS-branded slot machines, for its Ohio casino properties.

Those properties include the two former Horseshoe casinos, Jack Cleveland and Jack Cincinnati, along with the Jack ThistleDown Racino outside of Cleveland.

After winning in a competitive bidding and selection process, Scientific Games will provide Jack Entertainment with its latest SDS slot-accounting solution, CMP player-tracking system, TableView real-time table-management solution, and the award-winning iVIEW Display Manager on-device messaging technology across each property’s high-speed networked gaming floors. Jack Entertainment will use the Bally Elite Bonusing Suite applications to offer automated, interactive on-game bonusing, promotions, and rewards.

The systems conversion project is already under way, and the Bally Systems are slated to be fully installed and deployed at all three properties by June 30.

Scientific Games systems will also connect Jack Entertainment’s player-loyalty programs at Jack Cleveland Casino, Jack Cincinnati Casino, Jack ThistleDown Racino and Jack Detroit Casino-Hotel Greektown, enabling the operator to offer enhanced player recognition and rewards for patronage at and across all four properties.
“We chose Scientific Games because they are the leader in systems innovation,” said Jack Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Matt Cullen. “We look forward to having the enhanced system in place, which will allow us to streamline our processes and operations.”

Jack Entertainment will also purchase 250 new Scientific Games slot machines, including the Alpha 2 Pro Series Wave and Pro Series V32 cabinets supporting many of the company’s popular titles, including Quick Hit Wild Red Free Games Fever, Any Bet Triple Quick Hit Blazing 7s, Fu Dao Le, Quick Hit Platinum Blazing 7s Wild Jackpot and Dragon Rising.

“We are honored that Jack Entertainment has selected Scientific Games as their partner to help grow their business with the industry’s most complete portfolio of solutions, applications, platforms and entertaining games,” said Bob Parente, chief revenue officer, gaming at Scientific Games.
