WMS did not have any difficulty while entering this industry.īecause there were so many intellectual properties they had, and all of them could be used in slot machines. The variety of games were shallow too, and most of them were unattractive fruit slots. In 1996, the number of companies that produced slot cabinets was deficient. They had to make a decision: Closing the company’s pinball section or switching to another sector. WMS has developed a prototype pinball table with digital displays, but the manufacturing costs were very high. The habits of the players changed: They started to prefer arcade games instead of pinball tables. Despite the success it has achieved, pinball tables lost their popularity during the ’90s.
