About WMS
WMS Gaming has a long history in the gaming industry, stretching all the way to 1943 when Harry Williams founded its parent company, Williams Manufacturing, in Chicago. The company initially produced pinball machines and then extended its range to include slot machine and video lottery terminals as the world became more technological.
Its first slot title appeared in the mid-90s under the name Reel 'Em In, which was the first ever game with a second screen bonus round. Its success meant other titles quickly followed, and in 1999, WMS formed a division dedicated exclusively to gaming: WMS Gaming. With its built-in bonus systems, it was ideally placed to ride the crest of the online boom over the following decade.
A big part of its success was a series of 'participation' branded slots which carried the title of famous names, such as Monopoly and The Lord of the Rings. These traversed the physical and online formats, proving to be popular in both, and established WMS Gaming as a leading name.
Keen to take advantage, Scientific Games Corporation came calling 2013. The gaming giant bought out WMS for $1.5 billion, effectively absorbing it into its interactive division. As such, all WMS content follows the strict code of conduct put in place by Scientific Games, which means all of its content is held extremely high standards and is safe to use.
WMS Games
WMS Gaming's extensive experience in the gaming industry means it knows how to make excellent games. Together with Bally and Shuffle Master, they contribute to one of the largest game libraries in the world, which often features some of the latest technology.
In terms of slots, its branded selection stands out. Super Monopoly Money, for example, is a variation on WMS's wildly successful slot of the early 2000s. The game is bright and snappy, featuring all the classic symbols, such as the hat, dog and shoe, on a nice backdrop of the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben. It also has some impressive bonus features including Free Parking icons that land on the reels: you select one of five cards to show another symbol, which replaces the Free Parking icons– your prize depends on which symbol you get.
Away from branded slots, WMS also has a good range of original titles. Jumpin' Jalapenos is one of those, which offers a great free spins feature. Get three or more jalapenos across the five reels to activate them, with the 'Mexican Man' Wild symbol increasing the win amount. If you're looking for brilliant graphics though, you might be disappointed: JJ's aesthetic is pretty dated.
For a step up in graphics, Jungle Wild is a popular WMS slot that takes place deep inside a rainforest. The reels appear from behind super-sized tree leaves and your goal is to unlock the golden temple there and escape with some riches. Central to the game is the free spins mode that comes with a guaranteed win every time you trigger it.
