Building on WMS’ Successful Foundational Networked Gaming Technology Platforms

WMS will debut eight new games at G2E 2008 that leverage the Company’s four revolutionary technology platforms - Transmissive Reels® Gaming, Community Gaming®, Sensory Immersion Gaming and Adaptive Gaming® - with unique new gaming experiences, including the introduction of new innovative games that combine the capabilities of the Transmissive Reels and Community Gaming technology platforms.

• Transmissive Reels Gaming – WMS is premiering three new games on its highly successful Transmissive Reels Wide-Area Progressive (“WAP”) platform, which combines the classic player appeal of mechanical reels with the stunning visuals of 3D high-definition graphics. Building on the extraordinary player response to THE WIZARD OF OZ™ Sensory Immersion game introduced last year, THE WIZARD OF OZ – Glinda the Good Witch™ and THE WIZARD OF OZ – Wicked Riches™ are two new Transmissive Reels games that place the legendary witches in two new game themes featuring the popular Glinda and Flying Monkey bonus rounds. In addition, MONOPOLY™ Reel Estate Tycoon™ is the latest game in the successful MONOPOLY Transmissive Reels series that leverages the timeless board game content in a new five-reel mechanical game with multiple bonus rounds offering new entertainment experiences on each spin.
• Community Gaming – The next generation of Community Gaming is here. Building upon the gaming category created by WMS, the innovative new Reel Em In® Compete to Win™ game features a competitive element never before offered in a slot machine, where players select from four characters to compete in an exciting fishing contest for a grand prize, all in high-definition. And for those lucky fishermen able to land a big one, their achievement will be displayed in casinos nationwide. Also being shown is the new POWERBALL® Power Seat™ game that capitalizes on the popular POWERBALL brand. In the Power Seat bonus of this unique game, one player is selected as the Power Seat player and is rewarded with an extra award that creates enhanced excitement.

Additionally, the excitement of Community Gaming is being extended into the video poker category with the introduction of Big Event® Poker, the first networked gaming based entry in this popular gaming category. By leveraging WMS’ successful Community Gaming technology platform, the Big Event Poker bonuses offer more excitement to video poker players as they are awarded new bonus experiences such as 4-to-a-Royal and Free Hands.

• Sensory Immersion Gaming - Built around the BOSE® 3SPACE® audio system and WMS’ powerful CPU-NXT®2 platform, TIME MACHINE™ will debut as WMS’ newest entrant into the innovative Sensory Immersion gaming category. In TIME MACHINE players travel through time for an unmatched sensory experience enhanced by real-time 3D graphics and a mesmerizing top box to aid players in their journeys through time.
