Bally has taken an award for their Cinereels technology

"the world's first seven-reel game configuration"

Got some good write-ups after the G2E last year, so am looking forward to playing these next time I'm in town

Anyone played them?

"Based on the award-winning CineVision(TM) widescreen gaming platform, Bally's new CineReels stepper product introduces the world's first seven-reel game configuration to the gaming industry. The platform's unique "micro-stepping" technology provides a new level of rhythmic game play, including another industry first: True "Reel-Stop(TM)" functionality for unsurpassed player control. After initiating a spin, a player can then tap the "Spin" button to instantly stop all the reels, thus permitting them to establish their own personal rhythm of game play.

Bally's new iVIEW DM technology allows gaming operators to present systems content on the displays of all manufacturers' gaming machines through the iVIEW processor rather than the game processor, which would require separate regulatory approvals and complex development and integration efforts.

Up to now, system-based content has been confined to either a two-line display or the 6-inch x 2-inch player display. In conjunction with technologies enabled through iVIEW Content Manager (CM)(TM) and Bally Power Bonusing(TM) products displayed through iVIEW DM, gaming operators can choose where on the game they want to display things like player name, session points, jackpots, promotional credits, casino and hotel specials and promotions, and any other systems content. The new system content display options can include the traditional iVIEW display, the main game display, the second game display, or any game display associated with the device.
