Exhibit 99.2

August 1, 2014

Dear Bally Teammates,

Today we are taking another step forward to broaden Bally's growth opportunities by announcing that we are combining our business with Scientific Games Corporation (Scientific Games), a leading global gaming supplier. The acquisition of Bally by Scientific Gaming combines two best-in-class, customer-centric gaming companies with a shared commitment to innovation. Bally and Scientific Games have entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with the approval by both Boards of Directors. The news release, which was issued this morning, is attached to this letter.

Publicly traded on the NASDAQ, Scientific Games is a diversified, global organization that designs, manufactures, distributes, and operates innovative products and technology for the gaming and lottery industries. With approximately 5,200 employees around the globe, Scientific Games has been at the forefront of gaming and lottery innovation for more than 40 years, and acquired WMS just last year. They are renowned for their ownership of great content, technologies, and global brands that still have plenty of room to grow – much like us. And like Scientific Games, Bally has a history of innovation and technological excellence underscored by the introduction of numerous industry game changers.

There has been a great deal of gaming industry activity in the past year: Scientific Games’ purchase of WMS, Pinnacle’s merger with Ameristar, of course Bally’s combination with SHFL entertainment, and in the last month, the announcements of Aristocrat’s pending acquisition of VGT and GTECH’s pending acquisition of IGT.

As part of our fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders, our Board of Directors regularly evaluates a variety of options and alternatives in considering what is in the best interests of the company and our shareholders. We think this is the right time to join forces with Scientific Games because there is a unique opportunity to combine each other's strengths. We are confident that together we will become a collectively larger, stronger company that will best position the organization for the future.

Together, we each bring highly skilled and talented organizations with solid business infrastructures and sound fundamentals. I believe that Bally and Scientific Games share similar visions: building the industry’s leading technology supplier to the casino industry based on delivering best-in-class products and services to customers around the world.

Without this acquisition, we are great company comprised of very special people. With this transaction, I am confident that we will not only remain a great company, but that we will accelerate our potential, creating exciting future opportunities for the combined businesses. Scientific Games has made it very clear that the caliber of our people and our culture were key factors in their decision to move forward with Bally.

We realized that this is another significant change for our organization. I know everyone is wondering what this will mean for careers, benefits, and compensation. In a situation like this, there are always some uncertainties, but there are always opportunities as well. We are committed to communicating honestly and openly with you by providing frequent updates on the transaction. I encourage you to refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that are also attached to this letter. I’ll be scheduling a series of global informational telephonic meetings; the exact times and dial-in information will be emailed in advance.

Before we close the transaction, we must obtain approval by our shareholders and other customary regulatory approvals. The parties currently anticipate the acquisition to close in early 2015.

Until the transaction is complete, Bally and Scientific Games will remain separate companies and it will be business as usual for all of us. The key to our success has been – and will continue to be – you. As we move forward, we ask that you continue to focus on your day-to-day responsibilities as they relate to our goals and strategies and to continue providing our customers with the industry-leading solutions and services they expect from Bally.

You have all played a meaningful role in building the great history of Bally over the past 82 years. Today’s announcement builds on our proud legacy and provides us with more opportunity than ever before to do what we do best. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together and I’m excited for Bally's next chapter.

I’m hosting a short call at 9:30 a.m. PDT today for all employees. I encourage you to join and learn a little bit more about why this announcement is so important for our future.

Sincerely,

Richard Haddrill
