Sweden – WMS secures largest slice of Cosmopol slot floor
By Phil - 2 June 2014
WMS Gaming, a Scientific Games company, is pleased to announce that Casino Cosmopol, a wholly owned subsidiary of Svenska Spel, has released the final results of its tender for slot machines, with WMS winning 30 per cent of the total order size, the single largest share awarded in the tender.
Sweden-based Casino Cosmopol, which has casino properties in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmoe and Sundsvall, currently operates approximately 125 gaming tables and 1,100 slot machines, with slots accounting for about 60 per cent of its net gaming revenue. In order to provide its players with a cutting-edge gaming experience, Casino Cosmopol is looking to continually replace their slots and to offer a selection of machines on the forefront of technological developments within gaming.
The proven-performing Blade cabinet and the Game Chest Multi-Game Series, specifically tailored to the European marketplace, are among the WMS products to be featured at Casino Cosmopol. The Wizard of Oz Emerald City and Haunted Forest themes on the player-favorite Gamefield xD cabinet are already in operation at the Cosmopol casinos.
Sebastian Salat, President, WMS International, said: “We are delighted and honoured to have achieved this fantastic result in the Cosmopol tender process. We worked very closely with our Scientific Games colleagues in preparing our successful tender proposal, which we believe bodes well for continued success for our recently merged company.”
Eight gaming companies submitted tenders for the deployment of slot machines to the four Cosmopol Casinos; WMS and five other companies were awarded a contract.
Joachim Elm, Senior Gaming Manager of Casino Cosmopol, said: “We were impressed by the professionalism of the WMS tender proposal. It will be a great pleasure to work with the WMS team in the near future.”
