Most slots players have heard of WMS Gaming - one of the gambling industry's leading developers of slot machines. However, most gamblers would be surprised to hear that WMS Gaming is also responsible for the highly popular, regional lottery, PowerBall. Yes indeed, WMS Gaming is a powerhouse when it comes to land-based gambling. But what about the internet? Well, WMS is trying to answer this question by doing something about it. In preparation of a new release of slot machines, WMS has hired an interactive agency and sweepstakes specialist, ePrize, to develop a promotion in tune with the debut of their new slot machines. Starting April 1 2006, and running until June 30th, consumers can go online at the WMS/ePrize Powerball site - http://wms.eprize.net/powerball - and register to win gift cards and an all expenses paid vacation to Las Vegas in the "Feel Like a Millionaire for a Weekend Instant Win & Sweepstakes". Contestant only need to fill out a brief form and then watch (here's the promotional part) a short Flash video/tutorial on the the new PowerBall Slots. After it is finished (which is about two minutes long) contestants get to scan a game piece to determine if they are an instant winner. Fifty $25 Visa Gift Cards are being awarded every day for the entire run of the promotion, as is a vacation giveaway to Las Vegas for a couple of lucky winners. Gamers can visit the site everyday to place an entry. In addition to the online promotion, game piece eDecoder's are going to be handed out at Harrah's Casino in Las Vegas and New Jersey, as well as in other select casinos in Nevada. In order to send traffic to the online promotion, the game pieces can be scanned at the promo website to determine if it is a winner. But as expected, they will have to watch the video on the Powerball slots first. As for the new Powerball slot machines, they are three-reel mechanical slots with a bonus reel and a multilevel matrix bonus screen. Players simple need to match up colored powerballs to win one of three mega, super or ultra slot jackpots.
