CAPS Rating:
***

The Company designs, manufactures and distributes gaming machines and video lottery terminals.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

These guysare stealing slot machine market all over the place from IGT. This is big business. New casinos, more slots constantly, plus all old ones need upgrades.





WMS makes the best slot games by far.

IGT just got hammered on its quarterly earnings, and they are the big dog in town. WMS results for the next few quarters will be no different in this recession economy, they are in the same boat.

Stock has peaked and will move back down to $25.00

Survey the machines in Indian casinos. The ones made
by WMS are the most creative, have the best bonus rounds, and have good sound effects. Konami is getting better with some new clever machines. IGT needs to get on the ball.
