Bally’s got its start all the way back in 1932 when they manufactured their first pinball machine, and quickly rose as a leader in the pinball machine market. In the late 1930’s they turned their focus to gambling equipment, as the market for mechanical slot machines was starting to grow, and they ended up playing a big role in that as well.

They diversified further into vending machines, as well as continuing to expand their reach with slot machines, and by the 1960’s they had 90% of the slot machine market. They came out with the first electronic slot machine in 1964, and when they couldn’t expand their own brand anymore, they started buying up other brands.

In the late 1970’s, casino gambling opened up in Atlantic City, and they wanted to get in on that, and ended up buying a controlling interest in a project already underway to demolish three adjoining hotels to make way for a casino, the Marlborough and the Dennis hotels, and in 1979 the Bally’s Park Place Hotel and Casino was born.

They ended up deciding to keep and just renovate one of the three hotels, the Dennis, which originally served as the casino’s hotel. 10 years later, in 1989, they built the 750 room modern hotel tower with pink glass that is now the centerpiece of the property. The 37 story tower was the tallest building in Atlantic City at the time, and still sits as the eighth tallest with all the expansion that has happened since.

The property continued to expand over the years, with 1997 seeing the addition of its second casino, The Wild Wild West casino with a strong Old West motif. In 2000 their name was changed to simply Bally’s Atlantic City, and in 2003 they bought the adjacent Claridge Hotel and Casino, which then became the Claridge Tower. The Claridge was for a time used to house Bally’s guests but ended up being sold in 2013 and is no longer officially part of the property.

2009 saw more renovations, bringing Bally’s Atlantic City to the impressive complex that we see today. The two casinos, the main one and the western themed one, boast a total of 225,000 square feet of gaming space, making it bigger than anything they have in Vegas and turning them into one of the biggest casinos in the country and even the world.

Bally’s Atlantic City is now owned by Caesar’s Entertainment, one of the world’s largest casino gambling companies who run over 50 casinos including not only the Bally’s brand but other brands such as The Horseshoe, Harrah’s, and Caesar’s.

Atlantic City does get a decent amount of walk up traffic at their casinos, but hotel accommodation is still at the heart of a casino’s success here.
