The WMS G2E Asia
2011 product demonstrations will mark the debut of the company’s networked gaming
Portal Game Enablement technology in the Asian market, which leverages the flexibility of networked gaming functionality to extend the life cycle of base game themes by adding new entertainment experiences on slot machines connected to the network. WMS will demonstrate a number of video and mechanical reel games enabled by the following Portal application families at G2E Asia 2011:
• 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, which join to form a massive, singular screen on which a bonus cannon battle randomly occurs, as red and blue teams compete for credit and progressive awards.
Salat commented, “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. UHP is creating new value for gaming operators in terms of opportunities for increased coin-in, differentiated experiences for players and maximum flexibility on the slot floor.”
