WMS launched its Wage-net networked solution in San Remo, Italy

The 30-game installation, which includes 24 Piggy Bankin’ machines, the second theme from the Ultra Hit Progressive portal family, reinforces the WMS commitment to Engaging Players. Delivering Results.

Sebastian Salat, President WMS International, said, “WAGE-NET reinforces our commitment to push the evolution of the casino floor to new heights while remaining dedicated to a focus on standardization, usability, simplicity and flexibility. Recent launches in international and domestic markets provide an opportunity for our casino customers to increase revenue while delivering an unmatched gaming experience for the casino guest.”

WMS WAGE‐NET solutions are designed from the ground-up, and leverage computer industry and GSA standards‐based architecture to enable cross‐vendor interoperability. These solutions provide customers with the freedom of choice and flexibility to utilize systems and applications best suited to their own needs and designed to increase revenue-generating capabilities while providing differentiated player experiences for installed base games.

The Remote Configuration and Download functionality enables operators to deploy and manage any Networked Gaming application throughout a casino slot floor and quickly perform slot management tasks from a remote location.
 
The Ultra Hit Progressive series, a multi-level progressive that adds a secondary bonus opportunity to a player’s favorite slots, is designed to enhance base game performance by creating a second game dynamic, and runs on a Central Game Controller server. The WMS installation at Casino San Remo includes the Piggy Bankin’ theme, from the Ultra Hit Progressive series, which features coins that pile into a piggy bank, making it grow bigger and shake until it cracks. Both audio and visuals amplify as the game nears a progressive trigger, ultimately reaching critical mass as the bank explodes and awards the lucky player one of four progressive awards.

Marco Calvi, San Remo Casino Slot Manager, said, “We are very excited about the WMS WAGE-NET solution, which will allow us to increase game performance with fresh, on-demand content and minimal changes to our existing IT infrastructure.”
