 PROFILE
WMS Industries used to be the pinball wizard. The company was the world's #1 maker of pinball machines, featuring such brands as Williams and Bally. However, WMS has shut down all pinball operations to focus on its lottery terminal and slot machine business. The machines, marketed under the Williams and WMS Gaming names, include "Reel Estate" (based on the "Monopoly" board game), "Top Banana," and "Reel 'Em In." More than 4,000 of its "Monopoly"-themed machines are installed in casinos around the country. WMS has released a new series of machines based on word games "Jumble, Pictionary," and "Scrabble." Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone owns 25% of the company.
