Williams Gaming Slot Machines

Williams Gaming Slot Machines (or WMS) is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock exchange and has a reputation of being a well respected and helpful company to their players. This company, like the very well known Bally Technologies, got their first start in the pinball business. They came onto the scene in 1974 and in the over thirty years since they have built their company to be one of the biggest successes in the industry.

A little company history might help you realize why they are big enough to be on the stock exchange. As you might have guessed, the transition from pinball machines to slot machines wasn’t an easy or direct path to take. It was only a few years after their inception that WMS decided to try their hand in the video game world. It was the early 70's and people were just starting to see what home video game systems would mean and how big they had the potential to become. WMS started off by selling their games to local area arcades and then slowly moved into selling home versions of their arcade games, and then later, hand held games that were so very popular in the 70's and early 80's.

After their initial successes, Williams started selling lottery machines in 1991 with the development of state lotteries. So, they jumped in at the right time. From lotteries and all the profit that came, it was only a small step into the casino industry. The first slot machine that the company brought public was Reel ‘Em In. This game had several cutting edge pay schemes, including multipliers and several different bonus games. The players went nuts for the games. Soon after the success of their first casino game they became a casino-only gaming company.

It was 1998 when the company started trading on the stock exchange. By this time, they were selling casino machinery, and it had been a long time since they got out of the lottery and pinball business.

One of the very popular games put out by WMS is called ‘Filthy Rich’. It offers a classic look with some of the most modern features that players are looking for and is available both online and at land based casinos. The second best seller that WMS has is Monopoly. They decided to choose an American board game to model their game after because the popularity was already there and they knew they couldn’t go wrong with a favorite.

WMS games have many familiar games to offer with famous names like Clint Eastwood Slots, Men In Black, the Match Game and many more.
