This is a preview of the newer offerings from Williams Gaming, some of which are already ‘in play’ at your favorite casinos.
These games were initially displayed at the Global Gaming Expo last year.
WMS Gaming Inc., a subsidiary of WMS Industries Inc
WMS features CPU-NXT2 technology - the next generation platform for WMS' Bluebird and Bluebird2 cabinets. CPU-NXT2 technology features a high performance Intel CPU, ATI
powered 3D, real-time graphics, enhanced BOSE audio capabilities, expanded memory and high-speed streaming video culminating in a robust operating system that performs at ten times the throughput of the average home PC.
There are three new product categories.
1) Community Gaming - Monopoly Big Event:
WMS' first server-enabled product, Monopoly Big Event, uniquely provides table game excitement in a slot machine. The Big Event server technology transforms the slot floor into a lively, communal gaming experience, made possible by its Wage-Net enabled innovative game content.
When the Big Event bonus occurs, all eligible players participate in a first-of-its-kind true communal bonus adventure, where each and every eligible player wins, creating a level of excitement not previously experienced on the slot floor.
Next in this series will be the game show Press Your Luck.
2) Sensory Immersion Gaming - Top Gun:
With its Top Gun game, WMS showcases its sensory immersion gaming product line designed through an exclusive arrangement with the Bose Corporation.
Sitting at a Top Gun game, casino patrons are immersed in an innovative, real-time 3D, multi-sensory experience. Based on Paramount Picture's classic feature film "Top Gun," the
engaging new gaming machine couples a revolutionary new sound experience utilizing the Bose 3Space audio system with a new, real-time, 3D graphics engine enabled by technology
developed in partnership with ATI Technologies Inc. (a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative 3D graphics, PC platform technologies and digital media silicon
solutions) to create an unparalleled gaming experience.
The Top Gun slot version will be followed by additional innovative game themes. See features and bonus events for Top Gun in the Slot Reviews section
below. Just over the rainbow will be the introduction of a new product based on the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz," starring Judy Garland. With the
sensory immersion gaming experience enabled in this new game, players are sure to realize that they too can follow the yellow brick road straight to a
truly entertaining gaming experience.
3) Transmissive Reels Gaming - Monopoly Super Money Grab:
Combining the traditional player appeal of a mechanical reel gaming machine with the interactive and rich graphical interface of real-time, 3D visuals
enabled on a CPU-NXT2 system, Transmissive Reels Gaming will flow onto the casino floor. Reflecting WMS' introduction of breakthrough technology,
graphically rich video content is projected over mechanical reels to create unique game play, visually-engaging levels of player entertainment and
endless winning possibilities.
Accelerating the future appeal of this category, WMS has licensed the rights to bring the legacy of the "Duke" to the slot floor. John Wayne--Duke
It Out will be the next WMS product utilizing the power and appeal of Transmissive Reels.
New game themes for WMS' existing series are 5-reel mechanical versions of Powerball and Clint Eastwood A Fistful of Dollars will debut, as will a
unique, multi-level local area video reel progressive series based on WMS' popular Life of Luxury brand. In total, there are more than 150 gaming
machines to address all product categories and customer needs.
The mission statement at their website says it all: Max Your Edge:
The WMS Edge is a distinct advantage. It is shaped by our passionate approach in applying cutting-edge technology and innovation into our game designs
and helps us ensure premium products to all of our customers.

1) Cherry Bomb: Wms. 92-93%. 4 spins. |
This slot is set up to bounce between a bonus tile game and top screen play.
Set up similar to a keno game wherein the player matches tiles while the more correct selections will bring on higher payouts.
To assist your credit total and matches is a spark symbol that allows extra spots by tossing out cherry bombs for possible winning combinations.
The bonus round is activated by 3 or more slot machine symbols at which time you are awarded 5 free spins.
Freddy, Leena and Adam are the 3 wild cherry bomb people on the third reel. A spin with these 3 wilds allows a cherry bomb to bounce from the top screen to the Picks Remaining area on the
bottom screen. Wins containing Freddy bomb=1 additional pick, Leena=2 more picks while Adam=3 more picks.
This game is sure to put a ‘bounce’ of excitement in your slot play.

2) Brazilian Beauty: Wms Gaming. 87-96%.3-6 spins. |
There’s a la-la-latin theme going on here accompanied by maracas, conga drums and multiplying wild symbols.
The bonus round has two parts, a free spin and re-spin. When three or four Sun God symbols are scattered on the reels, the Sun Gods are held while the remaining reels re-spin. Afterwards, the total of Sun God symbols determines the number of free spins. Therefore, 3, 4 or 5 Sun Gods allow 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. Should one or more Brazilian Beauty symbol appear, bonus credits are awarded while 20 of these ‘Beauty’ symbols collected will grant the player 30X the original bet.
As with most bonus rounds with these two ‘spin’ features, additional free spins are often won while you are in the ‘spin’ moment.

| |
3) Top Gun: Wms. 88-92%. 2-3 spins. |
This slot places you in the cockpit of a fighter jet treating you to the most innovative sensory immersion gaming experience ever.
Top Gun is a multi site progressive penny or nickel slot boasting a top jackpot resetting at $500,000.
While playing, the base game, a random event known as the Fly by Bonus is triggered when a group of jets fly across the screen. Hold onto
your seat as it thunders accompanied by a shaking screen. Each time a jet flies by, a wild symbol is revealed to increase the jackpot.
Additionally, 3 or more Top Gun bonus symbols start the main Top Gun Bonus.
The thundering chair, the Bose sound and graphics merge to create the experience of the cockpit of an F14.
This experience begins as you take off from an aircraft carrier, enter the danger zone and as the enemy approaches make the decision to avoid, climb, barrel roll, hard left or hard right.
That decision will determine your credit award to include a 2-3X multiplier.
During this sequence if Engage Enemy Target appears, you are set against a squadron of enemy jets. Select one of four options to fire a missile and if you hit an enemy target, your pilot rank increases along with another missile shot. This particular bonus event ends if you receive the message ‘Return to Base’.
Should you demolish 5 enemy planes, you are now indeed, the Top Gun.
The Bonus Extender symbol allows you to ignore the ‘Return to Base’ and continue receiving increased bonus points.
There is no doubt that the Top Gun experience is ‘Top of the Line’.
