WMS

WMS Intro

Williams Manufacturing Company was founded in 1943 in Enterprise, United States. It is the forerunner of today’s WMS Industries, a developer of arcade video games. A notable fact is that WMC specializes in electronic pinball development. WMS gained particular popularity during the so-called Golden era of arcade games in the 1970s and 1980s. Gradually, however, arcade games fell out of demand. In an effort to keep its business above the surface, WMS reformatted itself with a new focus on slots. That is why the main part of today’s online casino provider games are video slots.

The history of WMS as an independent provider of gambling products ended in 2013, when the brand became part of the Scientific Games group, one of the main creators of gaming content and casino platforms in the gambling market. Today, WMS Gaming is widely represented in a number of online casinos around the world. Although the provider does not boast a huge portfolio of casino games, it has managed to create a niche for itself, offering high-quality products that delight many gamblers.

WMS Gaming became a 100% subsidiary of Scientific Games in 2013, undergoing a corresponding reorganization and the integration of the company’s divisions into SG Gaming’s structures. It is important to say that in 2012, Williams Interactive was established – a company specializing in the development of online casino games. However, as of 2016, all divisions of WMS, including Williams Interactive, operate as a Scientific Games brand.
