WMS Gaming, Stargames Sign Exclusive Distribution Deal

Rapid Roulette is an innovative casino game that combines the traditional play of the classic roulette table operated by a live dealer with electronic player stations. Rapid Roulette was recently approved for sale by the Nevada Gaming Control Board following a successful field trial. WMS will premier a fully featured version of Rapid Roulette at the Global Gaming Expo, (G2E) in Las Vegas September 17-19 2002.

Additionally, WMS announced that it has expanded its prior agreement to port WMS games onto Stargames' PC3 gaming platform. The amended agreement increases the number of WMS game themes to be ported onto the Stargames PC3 platform in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea and modifies the commercial arrangements between the parties on a mutually satisfactory basis.

"Rapid Roulette is a unique gaming product that has proven to be very popular in its initial field trial in the United States and at existing international installations in casinos in Canada, Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom," said Brian R. Gamache, WMS President and CEO. "We are confident that the combination of traditional roulette play and personal player stations, as well as the attraction of a live dealer, will broaden the player market beyond regular table game players in North America. Stargames has proven to be a valuable partner in our successful efforts to expand our international footprint and we look forward to realizing the benefits of this expanded relationship."

WMS Gaming is headquartered in Waukegan, IL with regional offices in all major domestic gaming jurisdictions, as well as Barcelona, Spain, Johannesburg, South Africa and Sydney, Australia.
