Irecently returned from one of biggest and best slot parties in the world: the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, where each November, all the slot manufacturers display their new games at a fantastic trade show.
One of the trends at the show was a new kind of slot, introduced last year, called communal or community play, where slot players can interact and
share bonus round experiences with each other. We’ll be seeing more of these slots on casino oors in 2008. One of the most exciting community
games at the show, coming to Southern California soon is WMS Gaming’s Press Your LuckTM Big Event® that brings players together to win—and win Big Bucks!
Like the classic TV game show, Press Your Luck Big Event features all the unforgettable Whammy characters that will keep you on the edge of your seat. All eligible players will search for Big Bucks as they collectively participate in one of five Big Event bonuses, including the first of its kind communal free spin event.
OK, I’ll admit it. I was a huge Press Your LuckTM game show fan in the mid-Eighties—
and even watched again when the show was in re-runs. For those of you who missed this game show phenomenon, you will laugh and hoot
and rack up a lot of wins with the new slot, Press Your Luck Big Event. e Whammies are back
in their red cartoon splendor—and so is the Big Bucks board— and when you play this slot, you’ll have big fun with other players at the same time.
