WMS—G+® Mechanical

WMS proudly presents the latest spin on the player favorite, proven G+ series: the new G+ 5-reel Mechanical®, available exclusively on our future-ready BLUEBIRD®2. We’ve taken each theme in this volatile, primarily free-spin based series and redesigned it for the mechanical player. To heighten excitement, players max betting will see the Minor and Mega jackpots become progressive awards comprising a fixed award and increment displayed on the BLUEBIRD2 high-definition top-screen.

When a Mega or Minor jackpot is won, the corresponding top-screen meter will display a fixed award for all remaining free spins, which may be won multiple times. Launching with Rose of Cairo™, Treasures of Machu Picchu™ and Zeus™, this new series from WMS is sure to be an instant hit on your casino floor. For more information, visit www.wms.com/bluebird2.
