| | PINBALL: Repairing Bally, Stern Pinball Games 1977-1985, part three |
 | | Early Bally SS games momentarily turn off the coin lockout coil during game play when the ball enters the outhole, and turns it on again just before serving the next ball or going to Game-Over. | | | In 1982 Bally changed their -35 MPU board very slightly to work in the combination pinball/video games Baby Pacman and Granny and the Gators, and also was used in Grand Slam. | | | Bally was asked why they designed their HV circuit so when it failed it would "short" instead of going "open" (an open circuit would mean the score displays would not work). |

| | RGJ.com - Bally says board erred in awarding slot jackpot |
| | Bally noted that in the Gaming Control Boards decision, the board said public policy and public trust in Nevada gaming were key to its ruling. | | | Slot machine maker Bally Gaming Inc. says in court papers that state gaming officials erred in ruling that a California woman should be paid $112,600 for what she thought was a jackpot at a Reno casino. | | | The Nevada Gaming Control Board later ruled that Gutierrez should be paid, even though Bally contended that her symbols were not centered on the payline of her game played Sept. 30 at the Sands Regency Casino and Hotel. |

| | In the late 1970s Bally made an unsuccessful attempt at getting into the casino business as Atlantic City legalized gambling; this effort was thwarted when the company was unable to attain a permanent license for the completed casino. | | | The health-club divisions of the company would go by the name Bally Health and Tennis and later Bally Total Fitness. | | | Through the 1960s Bally continued to dominate the slot machine industry, cornering over 90% of the worldwide marked for the machines by the end of the decade. |

| | I called Ballys and was informed that all billing was handled by their headquarters and was told to call them. | | | I called Ballys and was informed that the price would actually only drop $3 per month (to $24 per month) regardless of what the local office had "promised" at contract signing. | | | He sent this information to Bally's "team correspondence" to find out why my contract copy (actually it's in original ink - not a photocopy) had so many blank spaces and he was told that they would send a copy of the original to him. |

Well I thought that was that. | | | You can move to the ends of the earth, but it seems it's impossible to leave Bally behind. | | | I am POSITIVE that Bally wide and undisciplined ruling of these agreements have serious financial implications and that their wreckless treatment of these agreements is if nothing else, a seed to be planted in a legal office somewhere. |

| | So I got on the phone and a lovely lady down at Bally's carefully explained the contract to me. It was amazing how quickly I understood what was going on! | | | When it is gone, it is gone forever....which is too bad, because if Bally had been honest with me, I might have joined forever -- even at a bit over $700 per 36 months...and this webpage might be extolling the virtues of Bally instead of telling it like it is. | | | The membership fee plus the Monthly dues is the total amount you will pay Bally for your 36 month contract (I had the $18 per month, limited membership). |

| | Bally itself moved out of the pinball machine business in 1988 and concentrated on gaming and fitness salons. | | | Expectations were high in the first year as Bally had indicated from their initial advertising in late 1977 that there would be an "Add-On" device, which would have a full-sized keyboard, higher levels of memory (in the 20-32K range), and a new language. | | | The Bally Professional Arcade (BPA) was a development of the Bally Manufacturing Co., an originator of the pinball machine, and in 1977 a leader in mechanical and electronic arcade games. |

| | Bally Midway MCR games had a lot of controls which you don't see often on other games. | | | The other designed five games to be grouped together and played on the existing Bally Midway MCR hardware. | | | The Bally Midway engineers did something a bit clever with the trusty old 8910-- they used the extra I/O lines as outputs to control a vibrato/filter system and a stereo panning system, this results in the SSIO producing noticeably more interesting effects than a "vanilla" 8910. |
