Bally transaction plays a part in Scientific Games net loss

The last three months of 2014 gave the investment community a partial look at the financial potential of gaming equipment giant Scientific Games Corp. Company CEO Gavin Isaacs said Wednesday it will take a few more quarters to get a better handle on the operation, which purchased slot machine giant Bally Technologies last year. The $5.1 billion acquisition, which was completed on Nov. 21, had a direct impact on Las Vegas-based Scientific Games fourth quarter results.
