Slot Manufacturer WMS introduces Reel ‘Em In!® Compete to Win™ to North America

Reel in the action and catch a new wave of excitement with Mohegan Sun’s latest electronic slot machines. On May 21st, WMS, a leader in slot machine innovation, introduced their latest slot machines Reel ‘Em In!® Compete to Win™ and Mohegan Sun is one of the first destinations to carry the product in the world. The machines offer a winning combination of competitive events and leader boards designed to both excite and publicly recognize players.

“Our guests’ gaming experience has been enhanced as they compete against friends and family for bragging rights atop our Reel ‘Em In!® Compete to Win™ leader board,” said Frank Neborsky, Vice President of Slots at Mohegan Sun. “Players simply love community gaming and WMS has mastered the craft once again with their latest product.”

Located in Casino of the Wind, the new bank of electronic penny slot machines feature two 52-inch high-definition monitors, a 500-coin maximum bet and three mystery -triggered Reel ‘Em In competitive bonuses. Players may select one of four fishermen to represent themselves in bonuses. “Fishing Contest” allows each fisherman three reels in three to six fish that award credit values. “Fishing Boat Race” has players cast a line and hook fish as boats race across the screens. The first to reel in a fish and cross the finish line wins the race.

The third bonus, “Best Fish” shows players’ hooks as they rise up and down the water. When the hooks stop bobbing, a fish takes the bait and awards the value of that fish. The winner is the fisherman who gets a legendary (larger value) fish.

In addition to ‘Reel ‘Em In!® Compete to Win™, Mohegan Sun also offers a variety of other community games including IGT’s Ebay™, located near Sunrise Square, where players draw their attention to five vertical 40-inch big screen video reels located in front of each electronic penny-cent slot machine. This intense set-up allows players to win free spins and various jackpots. In addition, buy a vowel with IGT’s Wheel of Fortune® Special Edition™ Super Spin ™. The innovative penny slots are located in Casino of the Sky and Casino of the Earth as players sit at a life-sized wheel and compete to take home a jackpot.

The fun doesn’t end there; WMS also offers the penny-cent slot machines, Press Your Luck™ and Big Event where gamers can avoid the Whammy and place a maximum bet of 225 credits to win a top jackpot of 50,000 credits. Additionally, WMS’s POWERBALL® Power Seat™ located in Casino of the Earth, features two themes along with the Super Shot bonus, the industry’s first bonus round driven by a real-time physics engine!
