WMS—Dirty Harry® Make My Day™
Go ahead…make your players’ day. Dirty Harry® is back in Make My Day™, part of WMS’ Sensory Immersion product category where players gain an edge from the surround sound experience and next-generation 3-D graphics. Players join Inspector Callahan on the streets of San Francisco as he chases down the bad guys in this 5-reel video, action-packed slot machine. Excitement builds during base game play as transparent reels allow players to see bonus credit values increasing as they increase their bet. When they trigger the Make My Day Bonus, players seamlessly enter a car chase through a 3-D downtown San Francisco in pursuit of credit awards, criminals and the elusive Double Bonus criminal. Thanks to the Bose® 3Space® Surround Sound experience, players triggering the Spotlight Feature will see, hear and feel an SFPD helicopter circling around them as it turns 3–5 reel symbols wild before taking off again. With Dirty Harry Make My Day from WMS, your players only have to ask themselves one question: “Do I feel lucky?” For more information, visit www.wms.com.

Aruze—Wild Hunters Tiger™
Aruze Gaming’s Wild Hunters Tiger™ will make your players roar with excitement. Their hearts will beat faster with the intense action of the Feature Bonus Games. When three or more Features show up, the Hunting Free Game Feature is activated with 10 free games. More Wild spaces will be added on the reels on which each Feature landed. Another Feature bonus can be hit while still in the original Feature mode, with more wilds added to the reels where each Feature lands. Wilds substitute for all symbols except the Feature symbol. Players will trek through the jungle with the water buffalo, deer, birds, monkeys, rabbits and, of course, the beautiful tiger. The top-rate graphics and high-tech sounds create an atmosphere of expectation until the tiger jumps out with his ferocious roar and really gets the fun going! Aruze’ Millenary machines with dual transmissive LCD monitors present video animation effects in action during physical reel spins. It is now possible to improve unique game performance and visual effects with high-resolution 3-D graphics. For more information, visit www.aruze.com/en.

Cadillac Jack—Sakura Sun
Sakura Sun, Cadillac Jack’s newest game, is steeped in the history of ancient Japanese culture and built on the foundation of the cherry blossom, geisha girl, tea house and Koi fish. The fanciful music balanced with the pounding drums provides the perfect backdrop for complete cultural emersion. Highlighted in this game is the Free Game Feature. Two or more Geisha scatter symbols starting from the leftmost reel will start free spins. All wins are doubled during free spins and the number of free spins is determined by the number of Geisha scatters spun. Up to 60 free spins can be awarded and retriggered during the Free Game Feature. Scatter Pay is awarded with three or more scatter symbols appearing consecutively from the leftmost reel. In addition to the Free Game Feature and Scatter Pay, special detail was paid to the cultural symbolism: Wild Cranes, Wild Koi and the Geisha Scatter exude a sense of calm with fluid animation. Sakura Sun is a 20-line video reel featuring SpeedPLAY™ and PlusPLAY™ technologies and the multi-denomination feature. For more information, visit www.cadillacjack.com.

IGT—Indiana Jones™: The Last Crusade™
The Indiana Jones™: The Last Crusade™ REELdepth™ slot is the first MegaJackpots® theme to join the REELdepth family. REELdepth games feature IGT’s one-of-a-kind, 3-D-like Multi-Layer Display™ (MLD®) technology. This 5-reel, 40-payline game features a top-box bonus with a 20-stop wheel. Based on the escapades of the enormously popular archeologist-turned-adventurer Indiana Jones, The Last Crusade features vivid animation celebration sequences that happen with a winning symbol combination. Flames surround the reels when the trigger symbols hit, and movie clips play when the bonus is complete. This game takes players on a virtual 3-D ride filled with planes, snakes and Indy himself. Players will instantly recognize this movie classic and its legendary John Williams-penned tune from anywhere on your casino floor. Plus, there’s nothing like the experience of Indiana Jones in REELdepth. The Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade REELdepth slot is housed in the new S MLD cabinet and is available in 1-, 2- and 5-cent denominations. For more information, visit www.igt.com.

Konami—Rising Fire™
Rising Fire™ is the latest title in Konami Gaming’s successful K2V™ video product. This game is a 30-line, 5-reel game developed for the K2V platform and featuring a free game event. Rising Fire is a medium volatility, standard or fixed 20-, 25- or 30-line game. All pays are on selected lines only, from the leftmost reels to the right on adjacent reels, except scatters. The free game feature is triggered when any three, four or five Temple symbols appear, and 10, 15 or 25 free games are won, respectively. If one or more Bird symbol appears during the free game event, this results in a win. The pay for that win is 5X, 10X or 20X. Additional free games can be won during the free game event. Consistent with Konami’s commitment to offering great video titles with a wide range of configuration, Rising Fire currently supports all of the progressive options available on this high denomination platform, including but not limited to Quick Strike™ and Diamond Point™.

Spielo—Spirit Moon™
Let the power of the moon enrich your spirit. The spirits of the animal world are called upon in Spirit Moon™, a 5-reel, 40-line game where stacked Totem symbols lead players on a vision quest for riches and adventure. The excitement grows as Totem symbols become stacked wilds and double all line wins. Scattered Spirit Moon symbols initiate the bonus round, which can be re-triggered during bonus play. Spirit Moon is designed for players who prefer free spin bonuses and volatile play. It pays for three, four and five identical symbols in a row on all paylines, left to right only, beginning on the first reel. The Spirit Moon bonus is triggered when three, four or five Spirit Moon symbols appear onscreen, awarding 15 free games. Bonus pays are tripled. Re-triggering the bonus awards 15 additional free games and a 1X multiplier increase on the next spin to a maximum multiplier of 10X. Spirit Moon is available with maximum credits of 200, 400, 600, 800 or 1,000. The available denominations are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents. Spirit Moon is available on the prodiGi™ gaming cabinet.

Bally—Mega Winner™
Bally Technologies introduces the new Mega Winner™ ALPHA Elite™ video slot. With 16 reels, 40 lines and a 2,000-credit max bet, Mega Winner offers a unique spin on traditional slot gaming action. Unlike conventional slots where the reels are arranged in a straight line, the reels on Mega Winner are laid out in a 4-by-4 grid that gives players up to 16 reels of exciting game play. The game’s signature Mega Winner Bonus occurs when five or more Mega Winner scatter symbols appear on the grid. These symbols are then “locked” into place. The remaining reels then spin freely, provided that one additional Mega Winner scatter symbol is locked into place on each of the subsequent bonus spins. This process continues until all reels either display the Mega Winner scatter symbol, or until a Mega Winner scatter symbol no longer appears during the bonus round. Mega Winner is available in a variety of cabinet configurations, including the ALPHA Elite V20 upright, CineVision™ widescreen, ALPHA Elite V20 Chop Top and ALPHA M9000-Wide.

Atronic—Deal or No Deal™ – Mega Deal The Show
The heart-pounding excitement continues with Atronic’s Deal or No Deal™ – Mega Deal The Show bringing players bigger chances for a bigger deal. Deal or No Deal – Mega Deal The Show is a wide-area progressive available with Super Play™ payloading. A continuation of the original Deal or No Deal slot theme, The Show features a player favorite, the Briefcase Bonus, where players try to double their case winnings, making it both interesting and volatile. Super Play allows the player to decide how the game will play and pay. The Deal or No Deal – The Show logo on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only substitutes for all symbols except the Briefcase. Three Briefcase symbols will trigger the Briefcase Bonus. The bonus starts with a 20-case selection, with each case containing a varied credit amount. Just like on television, the banker and player strategize and players get to choose whether to take the Deal (bank offer) or No Deal (keep playing). If the player rejects the banker’s final offer, then the player’s case is opened to reveal the win amount and the feature ends. For more information, visit www.atronic.com.

ID Interactive—Sherlock at the Murder Mansion™
A murder has been committed and five suspects are still at the scene. Your players must use their sleuthing skills to uncover the truth in ID Interactive’s Sherlock at the Murder Mansion™. Did the butler do it? Perhaps using a knife? Players carefully follow the clues during the bonus round, solve the mystery, and rack up the credits in this game of suspense based on the adventures of a world-famous detective. The Detective Badge is wild and replaces any symbol except the bonus and the scatter. Three or more Fingerprints in any position on consecutive reels trigger the bonus mode. Sherlock at the Murder Mansion is home to the unique ReSpin™ feature. This patented feature gives players the option of re-spinning any single reel, allowing them to steadily progress to the bonus round. After each game, and as many times as desired, any single reel can be put into play by pressing the ReSpin button. The amount of credits required to purchase a ReSpin will appear on the screen and varies depending on the current arrangement of the wheels. For more information, visit www.id-gaming.com.
