New offering features the company’s Transmissive Reels gaming
technology platform
WMS
Gaming launched a new “for-sale” gaming machine based on the company’s Transmissive Reels gaming technology
platform.
Featuring
the capabilities of WMS’ Transmissive Reels technology, this new gaming
machine is the industry’s first mechanical reel product to offer a multi-game
feature set, while also providing a solution for bringing the advantages of
networked, server-enabled gaming to mechanical reel products. Utilizing WMS’ Hot Hot Super Jackpot brand and
bonusing feature, the new multi-game product addresses the growing industry
demand for new, next-generation mechanical reel products.
With
the multi-game offering, casino patrons can choose from four different games,
each with a unique pay table and bonusing. From clumped wild symbols to
variable multiplying wild symbols, these WMS games provide a new entertainment
experience for traditional mechanical reel players as they feature stunning
visual graphics – enabled by WMS’ patented Transmissive Reels technology – which surround and overlay the
spinning reels. By combining classic mechanical reels with this enhanced visual
experience, WMS brings casino operators the ability to offer their patrons
another differentiated entertainment experience.
“Our innovative Transmissive Reels technology has developed incredibly
strong player appeal and continues to generate high time on device and higher
than house average coin-in for our participation gaming products. These
attributes underscore the unique entertainment experience and benefits to
casino operators of this proprietary WMS technology,” said Orrin J. Edidin, president
of WMS. “With the launch of this new product we are expanding our for-sale
product offerings while continuing to demonstrate execution against our
multi-year product plan whereby we use our foundational technologies for
server-enabled gaming in advance of the launch of networked systems. We believe
that the unique aspects of these new games will generate a high return on
investment for our casino customers.
“Even as we roll-out this new, for-sale Transmissive
Reels offering, our product development teams are preparing additional,
exciting new Transmissive Reels
games to be offered on a participation basis. The expansion of our
industry-leading games, server-based foundational-technologies and continued
market share gains of our mechanical reel games are important components of the
revenue growth we expect to achieve in fiscal 2009 and beyond.”
WMS’ Transmissive Reels gaming platform combines the traditional
player appeal of a mechanical reel slot machine with video capabilities in one
gaming device. Enabled by the enhanced power of WMS’ CPU-NXT 2 operating system, Transmissive Reels gaming products provide the action of
authentic mechanical reels with the visually engaging play experience of a 3D,
digital graphical interface. The robust video animation can occur around, over
and seemingly interactively with the mechanical reels. By combining mechanical
reel and video action, Transmissive
Reels technology creates a nearly unlimited set of mathematical outcomes
that sets new standards for players’ gaming experiences. Through the use of its
video capabilities, Transmissive Reels
technology also provides a viable and exciting solution for enabling the
advantages of networked, server-enabled gaming in mechanical reel products.
