Even if you are using arduino, you still need an RS-232 to TTL converter.  The bally interface is RS-232, so you either need an arduino RS232 shield, or an adapter wired up.

...what Rick said!

The Arudino is 5V logic,  normal RS232 is around 13v.
The serial shield takes care of that (and some other things) for you.

Thanks, guys! I definitely learned something new today regarding the serial communication. BTW, looks like the connector in the first pic is just referred to as "latching 5 pin" online. I guess I'll order some parts and I should be all set!

Ok, just to review:

Arduino --> RS-232/TTL converter DB9 --> DB9 --> 5-pin latching connector --> backplane?
