WMS Gaming has submitted an application to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board for an interactive gaming licence in the state.

"The filing of WMS' interactive gaming application with the SGCB in Nevada represents an important milestone in our efforts to support our customers' needs with a full array of products and managed services in the online and interactive arenas," said Orrin Edidin, president. "Just as we develop and produce innovative gaming content and gaming machines for our customers' land-based casinos, WMS is committed to assisting our customers in establishing strong interactive gaming relationships with their patrons in the casino, at home or on their mobile devices.

“By leveraging our understanding of players' entertainment needs and preferences with our expertise in creating compelling content and solutions, we have made significant progress in our development of a technology and entertainment content base that will help our customers unlock the emerging opportunities provided through online capabilities.”

With the company’s success and experience in online and interactive gaming through its UK-based JackpotParty.com online casino and Lucky Cruise social casino on Facebook, he said, the company is well placed to help its customers “move forward with confidence.”

WMS is the latest in a number of gaming suppliers to apply for Nevada state approval.
