Casino Games and Antitrust — UPDATED
A federal district court judge recently decided an interesting antitrust/ IP case involving “wheel game” slot machines. IGT sued Bally’s in 2004 for allegedly infringing a number of patents on a “wheel game” slot machine. Bally’s initially prevailed, winning a pair of summary judgment rulings on the validity of IGT’s patents and refusing to grant summary judgment on Bally’s antitrust counterclaims.
