WMS to unleash exciting product line-up at Wild Coast Winter Games

Many of the product innovations being showcased, including the initial family of portal applications, allow casino operators to potentially drive higher coin-in, efficiencies and slot floor differentiation. “Our product display at the Wild Coast Winter Games will further demonstrate that our creativity and focus on the player experience will not only provide our African customers with solutions for today, but also allow for continued innovation into the future,” said Sebastian Salat, President, WMS International.

WMS continues to deliver a wide-range of games, technologies and platforms. Its booth will showcase exciting new premium titles featuring global, iconic brands as well as components of the WAGE-NET networked gaming solution.

The company will showcase 28 games at the Wild Coast Winter Games including:

-Ultra Hit Progressive Portal – WMS’ first commercially available Portal application family will be available on both video and mechanical reel games.  This portal adds a secondary mystery progressive bonus experience on top of most WMS base game themes, in an effort to increase coin-in, keep base game themes fresher, longer, and to enhance player experiences.  The Jackpot Explosion and Piggy Bankin theme bonus experiences, advertise imminent jackpots on the base game screens, the gaming cabinets’ top screens, as well as on strategically located signage.  As coin-in increases and the progressive triggers are approached, stronger visuals of a volcano filling with lava, or a piggy bank filing with coins, are displayed and ambient sounds are amplified to celebrate the big win.

-Pirate Battle Theme – It is the first product available on four side-by-side Bluebird xD cabinets with special 32-inch overhead monitors. These monitors join to form a massive, singular screen on which competitive Team Compete to Win bonus rounds play out at bank-wide level.

-Alice Theme – It 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 & the Mad Tea Party and Alice & the Enchanted Mirror themes. Additionally, each theme features a unique bonus round like nothing you’ve seen before.

-G+ Deluxe Series – New themes offered in the series featuring large, very attractive reel symbols, exciting game play videos, game statistics of wins and losses.  Besides, with these themes the player experiences big win, super big win and mega big win animations.  The G+ Deluxe series takes standard G+ series game play to a whole new level with 30% larger, highly detailed reel symbols, optional game statistics, amped-up win celebrations and synchronized lighting and audio effects.

Top Star Series – This bright and eye-catching series is the latest 5-Reel Mechanical Bonus Bank Series from WMS. Players will follow their guiding stars to exciting free spins, multipliers and progressive prizes. Launching with three unique math models and base themes, Top Star offers a wide variety of experiences for Mechanical players.
 
In addition to the latest slot product offerings, WMS will showcase the sleek Bluebird2 cabinet and the state-of-the-art Bluebird xD cabinet debut, which delivers players with a first class gaming experience, combining the best of an upright and a slant in one cabinet.  The Bluebird xD cabinet features an ergonomic design with 22” LCD upright screens in a slant form and emotive lighting to enhance game play that empower operators with multiple ways to dynamically change the player’s experience on the casino slot floor.
