WMS Gaming and Konami Gaming have signed a joint initiative under which they will deliver integrated networked gaming capabilities that are aimed at creating new value for casino operators and new entertainment experiences for slots players.
By integrating Konami products and systems with WMS’ WAGE-NET networked gaming system, the two companies hope to provide operators with the ability to utilise all of the features and functionalities and robustness of networked gaming applications.
As part of the initiative, WMS’ WAGE-NET will support the full array of remote configuration and download functionality on both WMS and Konami gaming machines through a single system and user interface. By using WMS’ FreedomPort Player User Interface platform, the manufacturers will allow each other access to deploy gaming and non-gaming applications across their gaming machines.
"Across the technology industry landscape, it’s widely acknowledged that open standards promote rapid development of advanced solutions that benefit businesses and their customers," said Orrin Edidin, president of WMS.
"Given the accelerating adoption cycle of networked gaming technologies, Konami and WMS are at the forefront of the casino slot floor’s evolution with our new collaborative efforts to create a fully integrated solution that drives value for operators and offer new, differentiated entertainment entertainment experiences for slot players."
