Part 1. Registrant Information
Full name of registrant: Bally Entertainment Corporation
Former name if applicable: Bally Manufacturing Corporation
Address of principal executive office: 8700 West Bryn Mawr Avenue
City, State and Zip Code: Chicago, Illinois 60631
Part II. Rule 12b-25 (b) and (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable
effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule
12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check appropriate
box.)
[X] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III
of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable
effort or expense;
[X] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion
thereof, will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day
following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly
report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof
will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following
the prescribed due date; and
[ ] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by
Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
Part III. Narrative
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K,
11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof
could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach
extra sheets if needed.)
The Registrant has restated and merged three employee
benefit plans within the past year which resulted in an
unusually heavy burden on the same entities which are
engaged in preparing the Form 11-K. Additionally, there
was a significant delay in receiving Trustee statements
needed for preparation of the Form 11-K. The Registrant
believes that completing and timely filing the Form
11-K for the Bally's Employee Savings Trust for
Administrative Employees would have required unreasonable
effort and expense under these circumstances.

to this notification:

such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify
report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results
of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal
year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in

narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the
reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
