WMS Gaming announced that Casino Cosmopol, a wholly owned subsidiary of state-owned Swedish operator Svenska Spel, has released the final results of its tender for slot machines, with WMS winning 30 percent of the total order size, the single largest share awarded in the tender.
Casino Cosmopol, which has casino properties in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmoe and Sundsvall, currently operates approximately 125 gaming tables and 1,100 slot machines, with slots accounting for about 60 percent of its net gaming revenue.
The WMS Blade cabinet and the Game Chest Multi-Game Series, specifically tailored to the European marketplace, are among the WMS products to be featured at Casino Cosmopol. The Wizard of Oz Emerald City and Haunted Forest themes on the player-favorite Gamefield xD cabinet are already in operation at the Cosmopol casinos.
“We are delighted and honored to have achieved this fantastic result in the Cosmopol tender process,” said Sebastian Salat, president of WMS International. “We worked very closely with our Scientific Games colleagues in preparing our successful tender proposal, which we believe bodes well for continued success for our recently merged company.”
Eight gaming companies submitted tenders for the deployment of slot machines to the four Cosmopol Casinos; WMS and five other companies were awarded contracts.
Joachim Elm, senior gaming manager of Casino Cosmopol, said, “We were impressed by the professionalism of the WMS tender proposal. It will be a great pleasure to work with the WMS team in the near future.”
