Inside Asian Gaming

Ultra Hit Progressive® Portal —The first commercially available WMS Portal Application family, available on both video and mechanical reel games, Ultra Hit Progressive adds a secondary mystery progressive bonus experience on top of most current WMS base game themes. The Jackpot Explosion™ bonus experience features a bubbling volcano that displays imminent jackpots on the base game screen, the gaming cabinet’s top screen, as well as on strategically located signage. As coin-in increases and the progressive triggers are approached, robust visuals of a volcano filling with lava are displayed and ambient sounds are amplified to celebrate the big win. Ultra Hit Progressive provides casino operators with the flexibility to implement either a bank-level execution or a full Networked Gaming solution. MetaScreen™ —Providing the first true competitive slot experience, this Portal Application family will debut with the Pirate Battle™ game, a 2-vs-2 Community Gaming™ competition theme available exclusively on banks of four Bluebird xD™ cabinets with special 32-inch overhead monitors. These monitors join to form a massive single screen on which a bonus cannon battle randomly occurs, as red and blue teams compete for credit and progressive awards. “Ultra Hit Progressive® is another example of the continuous, creative evolution of the WMS design and development process and our commitment to delivering a premium value proposition to our customers,” states Sebastian Salat. WMS Gaming’s Unleash Imagination can be experienced at Booth #239 at G2E Asia 2011, from 8th to 9th June at The Venetian Macao “The WMS G2E Asia showcase will further demonstrate our emphasis on transcendent innovation and how it continues to deliver new products that aim to drive higher value for gaming operators” Jackpot Explosion™
