The WMS booth will showcase exciting new premium titles featuring global, iconic brands as well as components of the WAGE-NET networked gaming solution. WMS continues to deliver a wide-range of games, technologies and platforms that reflect the Company’s commitment to Player-Driven Innovation.

WMS will showcase a number of games at ELA including:

- Ultra Hit Progressive Portal:

The first commercially available WMS Portal application family, available on both video and mechanical reel games, UHP adds a secondary mystery progressive bonus experience on top of most WMS base game themes. The Jackpot Explosion bonus experience features a bubbling volcano that displays imminent jackpots on the base game screen, the gaming cabinet’s top screen, as well as on strategically located signage. As coin-in increases and the progressive triggers are approached, robust visuals of a volcano filling with lava are displayed and ambient sounds are amplified to celebrate the big win. UHP is available in both a bank-level solution and full Networked Gaming solution.

- Metascreen –

Providing the first true competitive slot experience, this Portal application family will debut with Pirate Battle, a 2-vs-2 Community Gaming competition theme available exclusively on banks of four Bluebird xD cabinets with special 32-inch overhead monitors, which join to form a massive, singular screen on which a bonus cannon battle randomly occurs, as red and blue teams compete for credit and progressive awards.

- The Godfather Theme:

This is the first multi-level progressive theme that allows players to win their way to higher progressive levels. Available in two unique base themes, the 243-ways My Daughter’s Wedding theme and the 25-line Corleone’s Office theme, this local area progressive game gives players a sneak peek into both sides of the Don’s life. Players triggering the multi-level progressive can wager portions of their progressive win for a chance to earn higher price levels, until they receive the one offer they can’t refuse.

- Alice Theme:

The Alice theme takes the successful WMS Bonus Bank formula to a whole new level. Available in identical 30-Line video and mechanical versions, the Alice theme comes action-packed with 5 unique, randomly triggered features available in both the Alice and the Mad Tea Party and Alice and the Enchanted Mirror themes. Additionally, each theme features a unique bonus round like nothing you’ve seen before.

- G+ Deluxe Series –

The series takes the standard WMS G+ game play to a whole new level with 30 percent larger, highly detailed reel symbols, optional game statistics, amped-up win celebrations and synchronized lighting and audio effects. Featuring large, very attractive reel symbols, exciting game play videos, game statistics of wins and losses, big win, super big win and mega big win animations, the G+ Deluxe series offers players unique and engaging experiences.

“Ultra Hit Progressive is another example of the continuous, creative evolution of the WMS design and development process and our commitment to delivering a premium value proposition to our customers. UHP is creating new value for gaming operators in terms of opportunities for increased coin-in, differentiated experiences for players and maximum flexibility on the slot floor,” said Sebastian Salat, President, WMS International
