Robert Siemasko, vice president of product management at WMS, believes that the most notable trend over the next two years will be the resurgence of mechanical based products.

“Mechanical based products will be updated with innovations and new technologies that will transform the vision of the slot machine,” he said. “WMS has developed the transmissive mechanical platform to allow for this transformation to begin.

“Operator response has been overwhelming and the players have accepted this new, exciting technology by queuing to play the new products.”
