WMS’ New SPIDER-MAN™ Slot Game Will Swing into Action at 2012 Global Gaming Expo
September 14 2012 - 7:30AM
Business Wire
The SPIDER-MAN game, a new fully immersive slot gaming
experience from WMS Gaming Inc., a subsidiary of WMS Industries
Inc. (NYSE:WMS), will swing into action at the twelfth annual
Global Gaming Expo (G2E®), October 2-4 at the Sands Expo and
Convention Center in Las Vegas. The latest Sensory Immersion
premium participation slot game to debut from WMS leverages the
“spider-sense” tingling performance of the Company’s synchronized
motion chair with the advanced sound and graphics powered by WMS’
next-generation CPU-NXT®3 operating platform to bring the thrills,
excitement and sense of wonder of Marvel Entertainment’s iconic
SUPER HERO™ to casino slot floors.
The new SPIDER-MAN slot game is WMS’ second game to feature the
Sensory Immersion 2.0 synchronized motion system technology
pioneered by D-BOX Technologies (TSX:DBO), following on the heels
of the successful Aladdin & The Magic Quest® theme that is
proving popular with players across the country and generating
superior coin-in performance across casino floors. The SPIDER-MAN
game is a “dual-array game” providing reel-spinning video action
across two full 5x3 reel layouts with each spin, along with six
random “Spider-Sense” features and exciting bonus rounds that
include video and audio clips from the original film trilogy.
Alternatively, players may experience the advanced graphics and the
perfectly synchronized motion of their chair with the video
graphics in an exciting bonus battle featuring the GREEN
GOBLIN™.
The SPIDER-MAN game also features a first-of-its-kind take on
Free Spins, enabled only through the increased capabilities of WMS’
new, third-generation CPU-NXT3 operating platform. The pure
horsepower of the CPU-NXT3 platform makes it possible to
synchronize the movement of the motion chair with the action of the
exciting movie clips playing behind the reels during the spins, and
also to have as many as eight reel sets spinning simultaneously on
each play in the bonus round. Players will find this bonus even
more exciting with the possibility of multipliers up to 50x the
credits awarded on all reel sets’ line wins.
“Following the tremendous player reaction to our recent Aladdin
& The Magic Quest game, our exciting new SPIDER-MAN game is a
premium participation game that leverages the capabilities and
functionality made possible by our next-generation CPU-NXT3
platform,” said Phil Gelber, Senior Vice President, Product
Development of WMS Gaming. “The CPU-NXT3 platform is
revolutionizing the slot experience by bringing a heightened level
of excitement to the casino floor through a fully immersive sensory
experience of sound, sight and motion. Our game developers have
done an excellent job integrating the proven capabilities of motion
chair technology to deliver the thrills and adventure inherent in
the iconic SPIDER-MAN brand and feature films. Our Sensory
Immersion 2.0 platform with the CPU-NXT3 operating system delivers
enhanced graphics and sound, superior play mechanics and advanced
touch screen technology, all integrated into the game play. This
game demonstrates one of the many unique experiences WMS is able to
bring to casino slot floors as we support our customers’ efforts to
fully engage players with slot entertainment that increases player
loyalty at their favorite casinos.”
See the new SPIDER-MAN Sensory Immersion 2.0 game along with
more than 100 other new exciting participation and for-sale games
that reflect WMS’ commitment to “Engaging Players. Delivering
Results.™” that will be on display at G2E 2012 (booth #1118).

statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause
our actual results to differ materially from the expectations
expressed in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements

forward looking statements, all of which are made only as of this

to differ from expectations include (1) delay or refusal by
regulators to approve our new gaming platforms, cabinet designs,
game themes and related hardware and software; (2) changes in
regulations or regulatory interpretations that may adversely affect
existing product placements or future placements; (3) an inability
to introduce in a timely manner new games and gaming machines that
achieve and maintain market acceptance; (4) a decrease in the
desire of casino customers to upgrade gaming machines or allot
floor space to leased or participation games, resulting in reduced
demand for our products; (5) a reduction in capital spending or
interruption in payments by casino customers associated with
business weakness or economic uncertainty that adversely affects
our customers' ability to make purchases or pay; (6) a
greater-than-expected demand for operating leases by customers over
outright product sales or sales financing leases that shift revenue
recognition from a single period to the term of such operating
leases; (7) future costs to restructure our business and other
charges that may be higher than currently estimated, including
additional charges related to actions at a later time not presently
contemplated; (8) ability to realize in full, or part, the
anticipated savings and expense reductions from restructuring and
lower staffing; (9) adverse affects on product development,
innovation and the ability to retain and attract key personnel
following the restructuring and reorganization actions taken in
fiscal 2011 and 2012; (10) a reduction in play levels of our
participation games by casino patrons, whether due to economic
conditions or increased placements of competitive product; (11)
inability of suppliers of key components to timely meet our pricing
or promotional competitive activity that adversely affects our
average selling price or product revenues; (13) a failure to obtain
and maintain our gaming licenses and regulatory approvals; (14)
failure of customers or players to adapt to the new technologies
that we introduce in new product concepts; (15) a software anomaly
or fraudulent manipulation of our gaming machines and software;
(16) a failure to obtain the right to use or an inability to adapt
to rapid development of new technologies; (17) an infringement
claim seeking to restrict our use of material technologies; (18)
risks of doing business in international markets, including
political and economic instability, terrorist activity, changes in
importation and repatriation regulations such as currently
experienced in Argentina, and foreign currency fluctuations; and
(19) the unfavorable outcome of any legal proceedings in which we
may be requirements to fulfill customer orders; (12) increased
involved from time to time. These factors and other factors that
could cause actual results to differ from expectations are more
fully described under “Item 1. Business”, “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
and “Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 2012, and our more recent reports filed with
