NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, announces that it is investigating the acquisition of Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI) ("Bally" or the "Company") on behalf of its shareholders. Scientific Games Corporation and Bally announced that the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby Scientific Games has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding Bally common stock for $83.30 in cash per share.

The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Bally for not acting in Bally shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process of Bally. The investigation seeks to determine if there was an adequate auction process and if Scientific Games is underpaying for Bally shares.  Indeed, an analyst has projected that the true going forward inherent value of the Company is worth at least $90 per share.  The investigation also seeks to determine whether there were any conflicts of interest on the part of the senior management of Bally in selling the Company.
