WMS Gaming used the Canadian Gaming Summit June 24-25 to debut CPU-NXT 3, the third generation of the sophisticated operating system that runs the supplier’s slot machines.
WMS, now a business unit of new parent company Scientific Games, presented a complete range of new products at the trade show, which marked the first time the company is presenting its three business units—Lottery, Gaming and Interactive—together at an event.
“CGS 2014 is an important opportunity for us to showcase our innovative new products and platforms to the Canadian marketplace,” said Brooks Pierce, chief revenue officer for gaming at Scientific Games. “Furthermore, it is an ideal occasion to showcase the benefits of the three business units of Scientific Games, Gaming, Lottery, and Interactive, as we present them together for the first time.
“With the depth and breadth of services that we can now offer, we are uniquely positioned to help our casino and lottery customers increase their revenues through multi-channel distribution and cross-channel marketing opportunities for some of the best games in the world.”
The WMS Colossal Jackpots series, designed to combine the mechanics of the successful Colossal Reels family with the Blade cabinet, also made a CGS 2014 debut. The series launch includes two exciting base games, the Lunaris and Open Kimono themes, each with a unique player experience and 100 lines of high-definition 1080P graphics.
A number of new game series on the CPU-NXT3 platform were featured, including Supercharged Reels, Reel Intensity and the Wheel Bonus series.
