Launching Into the UK Industry
The industry media has been chock full of announcements this month of new online
casinos launching into the market and accompanying those articles with tips
about the competitive nature of the industry and the tough competition that
these sites are facing. Just because there are a lot of sites in the market
though, doesn’t necessarily mean that there isn’t room for new competition –
particularly for established names in the industry. WMS Games may not be a
household name in the internet gambling industry yet, but this land gaming
operator announced plans to launch a WMS branded online casino into the UK
market.
WMS is an absolutely huge name in the market because of the company’s status as
a major land slots machine seller. WMS has operations in nine different
countries located all around the world and in distinctly different markets. The
UK branch of the company will now serve dual purposes. Instead of focusing on
just the land slots distribution end of the business, the UK office is now
prepping to run a large-scale WMS online casino. The current CEO of WMS is very
well versed in the international gambling industry and his knowledge over the
past decade has allowed the gambling group to prep for the current launch into
the competitive market of online casinos.
WMS has really stepped up the game with this announcement. The Company has no
history within the online casino gambling industry but is willing to shake up
things and change the company’s image by launching this newly planned gaming
site. |
