By the mid-1980s, Bally again had a strong balance sheet and began buying other businesses, including the [[Six Flags]] amusement park chain, and the Health and Tennis Corporation of America (which became [[Bally Total Fitness]]) in 1983;, and Scientific Games, a [[lottery]] terminal company, in 1986.<ref name=Name/> That year, they also purchased several casinos, including the original MGM Grand Hotel and Casino on the [[Las Vegas Strip]] (subsequently rebranded Bally's Las Vegas and now the [[Horseshoe Las Vegas]]); the MGM Grand in [[Reno, Nevada|Reno]] (now [[Grand Sierra Resort]]); and the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, rebranded Bally's Grand (most recently the [[Atlantic Club Casino Hotel]]). The expansion quickly took its toll on the company's finances, and Bally was soon forced to sell off several divisions, including Six Flags and Bally/Midway, which was acquired by longtime pinball and video game rival [[Williams Electronics]] in 1988.
