Here are some tidbits from our WMS meeting at G2E
- Aladdin: people love the movement of the seat but the game was toned down a bit as it got too complicated.
- Wizard of Oz was just turned on at Planet Hollywood as a community game. This Wide Area Progressive game has a wheel.
- Clue: WMS simplified the game with 2 screens, which is very similar to Lord of the Rings. It is close to being commercialized.
- Battleship: WMS had its first install. Reusing Price is Right signage. It is a WAP and Portal product.
- WMS's bread and butter for sale products are G+ and G+ deluxe, and Super multi-pay products.
- Royal Series: first for sale bank/progressive product. It is very volatile.
- Awesome Reels: 6 by 4 video slot
- Baron von Bacon: A Goldfish math wheel game with a time device
- Lord of the Rings: 3 reels with reel and video options. WMS is doing that option for almost all their products.
- Price Is Right: Game is simplified with just one PLINKO feature.
- Monster Jackpots, Gone with the Wind, LIFE are big event games with a wheel. Initial approvals are anticipated in the June 2012 quarter.
- Poker on Bluebird xD: Multi-game model. It is very easy to play with personalization features- screen color, volume, R or L handed, save settings to mypoker account, and speed. Users can also play at home for fun and win trophies/leaderboard. Poker offering is one year away from commercialization. WMS can roll out casino integration sooner than rolling out the games.
- New cabinet with a different field of vision: No name yet and the timing is far out.
- New community game with a cinema-like experience. It's basically a slant top box with a 120-inch display where when you enter the bonus round, there is a perceived skill element by using a joystick (similar to Wii).
