WMS Gaming Secures Three Large Sales Orders.

Coast Hotels and Casinos Inc., owners of multiple casinos in Las Vegas and one casino in St. Louis, has purchased units with printer technology for its Orleans, Barbary Coast, Gold Coast, Union Plaza, Las Vegas Club and El Cortez properties. The second order of multi-line, multi-coin video games is from Soaring Eagle Casino and Hotel in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, and enables the casino to gain a comparable product mix to the casinos in Detroit. The third order comes from an international lottery jurisdiction and will be delivered to a number of venues throughout the jurisdiction. The first two hundred units were delivered to Soaring Eagle during WMS' first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2001. The balance of all the orders will be shipped in the Company's second fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2001.

``Receiving three large orders like these is reflective of the confidence our customers have in our games and their earning ability,'' said Brian R. Gamache, President and Chief Executive Officer of WMS Industries Inc. ``All three customers have invested in a wide variety of our base games, all of which offer different peripheral capabilities like printers, ticket in/ticket out technology and multi-denomination/tokenization options. It has become increasingly important that we provide these options to our customers in our efforts to help them keep their casino floors competitive.''

``WMS offers a proven, highly profitable library of games. As we convert a great deal of our games to printer technology, we find that keeping the product mix current is more important than ever,'' said Marcus Suan, Vice President Slot Operations and Marketing for Coast Resorts. ``Our players expect their favorite titles to be available at all our properties. This new shipment of WMS printer games enables Coast to satisfy our guests' expectations with the 'latest and greatest.'''

``By adding these new WMS multi-line, multi-coin games to our slot floor, Soaring Eagle brings all the latest themes and newest technology to our guests,'' said Dan Hall, Director of Slots. ``In many cases, we're the first in the state with the hottest, most popular games. We intend to exceed our guests' expectations and with all the exciting WMS games to experience right here, we're confident they'll keep coming back to Mt. Pleasant and the Soaring Eagle.''
