A court has dismissed claims of patent infringement made against US-based slots, video machines and casino management systems manufacturer Bally Technologies.

The US District Court of Delaware issued summary judgement rulings that Bally’s Power promotions, Power Bank and SDS/CMP Power Winners products do not infringe IGT patents. The court also found that Bally’s ACSC Power Winners and ACSC Power Rewards products infringe some asserted patent claims, but do not infringe others.


"For the two products partially in question, the company has undertaken technical changes to ensure non-infringement," said Ramesh Srinivasan, executive vice president of Bally Systems. "The revenues derived from these products to date are immaterial to Bally’s financial positions."
