Exhibit 99.2

Dear Team,

I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on our pending transaction with Bally. Earlier this morning we announced that the Hart-Scott-Rodino (“HSR”) waiting period expired for Bally’s proposed acquisition of SHFL. This is an important milestone in our efforts to complete the transaction. Over the coming months, we will be working closely with Bally to complete the other requirements to finalize the acquisition, including receiving approval from our shareholders and required regulatory approvals.

With the HSR waiting period behind us, we can accelerate our efforts to plan the integration of our two companies. To ensure that we do this in the smoothest and most efficient manner, Kevin Verner, Bally’s Lead Independent Director, has been asked to head the Integration Management Office. Kevin, who has deep gaming technology experience from his tenure at WMS and Bally, will be responsible for ensuring the integration teams leverage the strengths and talents from both organizations as we build our enhanced enterprise. Multiple cross-functional integration teams, which will comprise employees from both Bally and SHFL, will work together to plan the combination of all aspects of our respective businesses. We will be announcing more information about the integration teams shortly.

As we go through planning the integration process, Ramesh Srinivasan and I are committed to keeping you informed as much as possible. To that end, Ramesh and I will be holding town hall meetings for SHFL employees over the next several months. We will be providing more details on these meetings in the coming weeks.

While the future is exciting, I recognize that periods of change in an organization can result in increased levels of uncertainty. As the integration teams begin their work, the best thing we can do is to remain focused on our day-to-day responsibilities. We cannot take our eye off the ball. The key to our success has been – and will always continue to be – you, and it is more crucial now than ever to remain focused on continuing to provide our customers with the industry-leading solutions and services they expect from SHFL. I appreciate and thank you in advance for your assistance as we work to make the integration as seamless as possible for employees, customers and partners of both companies.

Your teamwork and passion have given SHFL an outstanding reputation for innovation and technological excellence – these are some of the reasons Bally was attracted to us. I am confident that our combination with Bally will ensure that we continue as a great company, will enhance our ability to accelerate growth, and will create even greater opportunities to continue to learn and excel.

You have all played a meaningful role in building SHFL to be the outstanding company that it is today. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together and am excited for this new chapter of the SHFL story.

Sincerely,

Gavin Isaacs
