Inside Asian Gaming

INSIDE ASIAN GAMING | March 2011 36 WMS of the Collaborative Gaming™ offering. The MONOPOLY Bigger Event game allows all eligible slot players on the bank to play together to win the Collaborative Gaming bonus rounds that are presented on dual 52-inch high-definition screens. The ability for players to go beyond community bonus round entertainment to play collaboratively the bonus round games creates a whole new level of player engagement, entertainment and excitement that can only be enabled by utilising server-based capabilities. Another exciting new product making its way to Asian casinos in 2011 is our popular Reel‘em In® Compete toWin™ game, which represents the first combination of two of WMS’ server-enabled foundational technology platforms, the Community Gaming platform and the Adaptive Gaming™ platform, in one product. This combination creates a compelling player experience that tracks players’ progress and achievements in the game and displays their accomplishments on an overhead leader board for all to see. The leader boards make use of networked gaming technology. That means they can carry local and global statistics. You as a player can have your result displayed to players of the same game on the other side of the world. That’s a level of player recognition previously unavailable in casinos. Players can also track their accomplishments by logging in with their unique password to view their virtual ‘trophy room’, where all bonus achievements are tracked and displayed. What does WMS hope to achieve overall in Asian markets this year? This year will be about strategic steps as WMS works towards enabling casino operators to benefit fully from the power of networked gaming technologies. We are excited by the many opportunities for progress this year, and for future product introductions across Asia such as our game enablement portal technology, our remote configuration and download technology and other components of our WAGE-NET™ system. We expect all these products will ensure WMS stays at the forefront of innovation in the development of networked gaming technologies. We are very confident that those technologies will drive higher returns on investments for our customers. MONOPOLY™ Bigger Event Big Money Spin™ MONOPOLY is a trademark of Hasbro.
