WMS to unveil its portfolio of developments at SAGSE Buenos Aires

The booth will have 38 gaming machines on display, including unique math models, industry-first play mechanics and enduring brands.

The new WMS products on display at SAGSE 2011 (booth 413) will introduce games with unique game play mechanics, more unique math models, overhead bonus selection and added reels that offer players additional chances of winning.

Sebastian Salat, President WMS International said, “Our talented game designers and engineers leverage our industry insights and focus on the player experience to change the game on the casino floor.  This year’s product line-up at SAGSE 2011 features new innovations coupled with exciting game play mechanics, as well as other industry-favorite game features.”

The WMS product design and development teams have again created new entertainment experiences that raise the bar on gaming excitement with new and coming products, including:

Battleship: These entertaining 5-Reel Video executions of the popular brand are available in 20-, 30- and 40-Line configurations, launching with two base themes. WMS has amped up the series with bonus rounds unique to each base theme, awarding free spins or credits and multipliers.

Life of Luxury Deluxe: The new theme is the follow-up to the successful Life of Luxury Progressive Local-Area Progressive (LAP) series.  The game features a LAP free spin bonus randomly triggered during standard G+ Deluxe and G+ Deluxe 5x4 base gameplay.  In the progressive free spin bonus round, a max wager spin guarantees a progressive award if the picking bonus is triggered.

Monopoly Party Train: This theme takes player-popular mechanics from previous Monopoly slots and enhances them with additional features including a new dual machine marquee for heightened floor merchandising.  Available in mechanical and video reel base game versions, the Monopoly Party Train theme introduces the random Move Feature that randomly takes players around the Monopoly board for mini-bonuses, free spin enhancements, bonus triggers and more. 

Power Spins: A new family for the video Bonus Bank player featuring a base game with the look and feel of the popular G+ Deluxe series will launch with four themes.  Each game enables players to activate an acquired Power Spin event at any time to increase the chance of winning.  Players can accumulate Power Spin events higher than the maximum bet, allowing for a significantly more volatile experience.

Colossal Reels: New to the WMS Innovation Series category, the Colossal Reels series utilizes the full widescreen power of the Bluebird2 and Bluebird xD cabinets to feature two sets of reels – traditional and oversized – that transfer wild symbols between reels.  The Colossal Reels series will launch with four themes and two unique math models.
Next generation of games featuring WMS’ foundational technology platforms and the newest for-sale video and mechanical reel games remain at the forefront of gaming innovation and provide additional evidence of the company’s ability to engage players and of the firm’s commitment to creating products designed to drive higher loyalty and performance for casino operators.

At SAGSE 2011, the breadth and diversity of WMS products demonstrate the creative and innovative edge WMS brings to game development, to help customers retain and attract players.
