Betson Midwest has entered into a distribution agreement with WMS Gaming, one of the leading suppliers of video lottery terminals, slot machines and other gaming entertainment products.

Betson Midwest will be the exclusive distributor of WMS products for the upcoming Illinois VLT market. Illinois passed the Video Gaming Act in July 2009 to legalise the use of video gaming terminals at licensed liquor locations, including bars, restaurants, truck stops and fraternal and veterans’ organisations.

Commenting on the partnership, Todd Cravens of Betson Midwest, told InterGame: "We are excited to be working with WMS to address this new market opportunity as it has an unmatched reputation for state-of-the-art gaming technologies and designing innovative gaming products that provide players with unrivalled entertainment experiences."
