Bally Technologies is lifting the curtains on its The Michael Jackson Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’™ this season. The follow-up game to the popular Michael Jackson King of Pop™ game, Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ features familiar gameplay and all-new bonuses set to five of Michael Jackson’s most iconic hits: Bad, Billie Jean, Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, The Way You Make Me Feel, and Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.

Featuring on Bally's ALPHA 2™ Pro Series™ V22/32 cabinet with the custom Pro™ surround-sound chair, the game offers players a chance to win a jackpot on the Cash Connection™ wide-area progressive, with a near-area progressive option available.

The game is highlighted by a U-Spin™ Platinum Record Bonus Spin that prompts players to touch the game screen to spin a platinum record with their fingers for bonus credits or to activate one of three special Free Games bonuses. The video for the song Bad plays during the Bad Free Games, while Michael dances to the song Billie Jean during the Billie Jean Free Games. Free Games, wilds, U-Spin bonuses, and video clips showcasing Michael Jackson make this game an exciting way to experience the influential performer.
