Bally Technologies yesterday announced record quarterly diluted earnings per share of $0.95 and record quarterly revenue of $264m for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Diluted EPS was a record $3.45 on record annual revenues of $997m for the year ended June 30, 2013. “Fiscal 2013 was a truly momentous year in Bally’s history,” said Ramesh Srinivasan, the company’s president and CEO.
“We made enormous progress in many different ways, including continued growth in wide-area progressive units, record gaming operations revenue, significant success in new markets like Canada, Illinois and South Africa, establishing new revenue records in systems while setting up systems for further growth in the years ahead and the launch of Bally content in regulated online jurisdictions. These achievements position us well for continued growth in fiscal 2014 and beyond.” Srinivasan added: “The planned acquisition of SHFL entertainment will position us even better as an innovative end-to-end gaming solutions provider. We remain steadfastly focused on executing well in our core business.”
