WMS’ Networked Gaming Solutions Advance Commercialization of Casino Evolved™ Vision

Highlighting its unique approach to evolving the casino floor to enable new player experiences through a fully networked enterprise, WMS Gaming Inc. will demonstrate its WAGE-NET 2.0 networked gaming system capabilities and benefits at the ninth annual Global Gaming Expo (G2E®) from November 17-19 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth #1256).

WMS’ WAGE-NET networked gaming solution is based on open architecture using industry standard communication protocols developed by the Gaming Standards Association (GSA) and is designed to be fully interoperable with other systems developed in compliance with GSA standards. The WAGE-NET system is a suite of platform technologies and system applications that aim to increase the revenue generating capabilities and operational efficiency of casino gaming floors. The WAGE-NET Portal platform enhances the player entertainment experience and includes both a Central Game Controller™ (“CGC”) server distribution application and the FreedomPort™ network display interface. WMS will also be reviewing with casino customers its suite of comprehensive business services which are integral to the planning, implementation and support of networked gaming products.

At G2E, WMS will demonstrate several system applications utilizing advanced technologies and platforms to deliver new content that creates dynamic player entertainment experiences and drives increased revenue opportunities for casino operators.

Brian R. Gamache, chairman and chief executive officer of WMS, commented, “Our WAGE-NET networked gaming solutions reflect our continued and well-recognized commitment to support industry interoperability and simplify life for casino operators as they transition their slot floors to networked enterprises. As a result of our multi-stage plan for commercializing Portal applications across the casino enterprise, we have a well-defined rollout plan for new server-based solutions that benefits both casino operators and players.

WMS’ Portal applications on WAGE-NET 2.0 are the next phase of the Company’s Future Ready initiative. It consists of unique software applications that deliver new, dynamic player entertainment experiences. At G2E 2009, WMS will debut its initial families of Portal applications for banked WMS games, each of which adds unique player experiences to the base slot game. Each of the first four Portal families debuting at G2E – Ultra Hit Progressive, Metascreen, Mega Multiplier and Winners Share – will feature unique themes and offer differentiated game play mechanics and player features that will continue to evolve.

To complement and support the innovative technologies that comprise its WAGE-NET system, WMS is broadening its commitment to partner with casino operators and facilitate the process to network-enable their casino floors.

WMS is engaged in serving the gaming industry worldwide by designing, manufacturing and marketing video and reel-spinning gaming machines, video lottery terminals, and in gaming operations, which consists of the placement of leased participation gaming machines in legal gaming venues.
