WMS To Showcase New THE GAME OF LIFE™ Progressive Slot Game At 2012 Global Gaming Expo

WMS Gaming Inc., a subsidiary of WMS Industries Inc. (NYSE:WMS), will demonstrate THE GAME OF LIFE Wide-Area Progressive slot game at the 12th Annual Global Gaming Expo (G2E®), October 2-4, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas. This new Community Gaming® slot game from WMS combines many of the entertaining elements found in the classic game from Hasbro with great slot play and the Company’s advanced sound and graphics technology to create an entertainment experience that casino players will fall in love with the first time they play the game.

THE GAME OF LIFE game is an enduring classic. Utilizing the sleek design of the Bluebird xD™ cabinet, giant overhead LCD screens and bank-wide lighting to enhance game play, WMS’ THE GAME OF LIFE slot game brings a larger-than-life slot experience to the casino floor. The game provides players a heightened level of visual excitement with the “Bank of LIFE Paytable,” a novel approach to awarding additional credits on any base game win; as well as offering the player-favorite Big Event® Bonus, with three bonuses triggered randomly—Pay Day™, Career Day™ and Speed Spins™—that play out on gigantic overhead screens. Players will be rooting most for the Speed Spins bonus, where lucky spins of the game’s “LIFE Wheel” will reward all eligible players across the entire bank of games. And in the game, as in real life, the road has its twist and turns.

“WMS leadership in developing creative content and unique game play mechanics is evident in our THE GAME OF LIFE slot game,” said Ken Lochiatto, President and Chief Operating Officer of WMS Gaming. “Our talented game designers, engineers and mathematicians have taken the iconic board game experience and combined it with dynamic slot content and our award-winning Bluebird xD cabinet to create a truly fun and entertaining slot game. Recently introduced to players at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, THE GAME OF LIFE game provides an engaging, one-of-kind slot experience as reflected in the game’s player appeal and the encouraging early indicators of performance.”
