WMS is the third-largest American slot machine manufacturer, with a 17 percent market share in the second quarter of 2012. There was a patent infringement lawsuit filed by WMS Industries against Bally Technologies in 2010, which affected Bally at G2E.
But right now, MGT Capital Investments, Inc., announced on Nov 5th that its majority-owned subsidiary, MGT Gaming, Inc., has filed a lawsuit claiming patent infringement against multiple companies believed to be violating MGT Gaming's United States Patent No. 7,892,088 entitled "Gaming Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing Event."
The lawsuit alleges the defendants WMS Gaming, Inc. and other major casinos, Inc. either manufacture, sell or lease gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's patent rights, or operate casinos that offer gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's patent rights.
The performance of WMS does not change a lot in these couple months. If MGT win this lawsuit, WMS, as the third largest American slot machine manufacturer, may pay the royalties to the MGT, which may not affect WMS too much, but will definitely help MGT gain profit and double their stock price, maybe they will become a new rival for WMS.
