         WMS INDUSTRIES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
                  OF $0.21 ON RECORD REVENUES OF $107.7 MILLION

     - Gaming Operations Installed Base Reaches Over 6,100 Units as of Today,
       Reflecting an Increase of 1,100 Units, or 22%, Since December 31, 2004
       While Open Sales Orders Remain at Historically High Levels -

     - Initiates Fiscal 2006 Revenue Guidance of $465 - $490 Million,
       an Increase of Approximately 20 - 25% Over Fiscal 2005 Revenue Forecast -

Waukegan, Illinois, May 3, 2005 - WMS Industries Inc. (NYSE:WMS) today reported
net income of $7.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the Company's fiscal
third quarter ended March 31, 2005 inclusive of separation charges of $0.7
million net of taxes, or $0.02 per diluted share, and income from the licensing
of intellectual property of a discontinued business of $0.4 million net of
taxes, or $0.01 per diluted share. In the March 2004 quarter WMS reported net
income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

"The third quarter results reflect improved operating margins attributable to
recent initiatives aimed at generating stronger bottom line results from the
significant revenue growth we continue to achieve," stated Brian Gamache,
President and CEO of WMS Industries. "Our financial results for the March
quarter were also an initial reflection of the operating leverage inherent in
our business model.

"High levels of customer acceptance for our new products is highlighted again by
the significant revenue growth we continue to achieve, as revenues grew by $13.7
million, or 15%, over the December 2004 quarter," stated Gamache. "While this is
a significant improvement in just one quarter, it is even more noteworthy when
compared to WMS' revenues just four quarters ago. Equally significant, and
reflecting our efforts to control costs, research and development and selling
and administrative expenses in aggregate, exclusive of the separation charges,
remained essentially unchanged from the December 2004 quarter, and our operating
margin, exclusive of the separation charges, doubled.

"The cost savings and efficiency initiatives we put in place before and during
the March 2005 quarter moved the Company from a re-emergence mentality to a
Company focused on best practices in order management and reducing time to
market," continued Gamache. "We made improvements in sourcing and supply
management, in inventory and warehouse management, and effected changes to our
manufacturing processes. We still have more to accomplish, with further
operating efficiency improvements expected against our goal to level-load the
shipment of new gaming devices throughout each quarter. We also have ongoing
manufacturing initiatives, such as enhanced strategic sourcing and supplier
management, value engineering the product and designing product for both ease of
manufacturability and installation, that will drive gross margin improvements in
future years.

"Payroll related expenses are the single largest cost category in research and
development and selling and administrative expenses," stated Gamache. "To
address these costs, in mid-February we implemented a work-force reduction
across all departments that eliminated approximately 10% of our non-union
work-force and open positions. We also reduced, almost entirely, our reliance on
temporary workers. More recently, we realigned and streamlined responsibilities
and consolidated several duplicate functions within product development and
engineering. As a result of our broad-based initiatives, we believe we have
reduced annualized operating costs by more than $6.0 million. We also expect to
achieve additional cost efficiencies from our recent realignment of product
development and engineering beginning later this quarter. The dramatic
improvement in our operating results reflects management's unwavering commitment
and capability to build WMS into an industry leader."

Financial Guidance

WMS today narrowed the range for its fiscal 2005 revenue guidance. The revised
fiscal 2005 revenue guidance is based on current open orders for over 9,000 new
gaming devices and CPU-NXT(TM) conversion kits and 2,200 new participation
gaming devices and game theme conversions. The Company expects that accelerated
growth in depreciation and amortization expense related to the rapid growth in
its participation game placements and modest increases in research and
development and selling and administrative expense in the June 2005 quarter will
partially offset an increase in gross profit. In addition, the Company initiated
fiscal 2006 revenue guidance of $465 - $490 million, representing an increase of
approximately 20 - 25% above the current forecast for fiscal 2005 revenues. The
changes to guidance are summarized in the following table:

Total revenues for the March 2005 quarter increased 69%, or $43.9 million, to a
quarterly record of $107.7 million compared to total revenues of $63.8 million
in the March 2004 quarter. The increase in total revenues from the March 2004
quarter was due to a 66% improvement in new unit shipments to 6,501 units, a 16%
increase in the average selling price of new gaming units to $10,204, a 27%
increase in the average installed base of participation games during the period
to 5,328 units and a 26% increase in the average revenue per day of
participation games to $47.90. The installed base of participation games grew by
962 units, or 19%, to 5,983 units at March 31, 2005 from 5,021 units at December
31, 2004. Each of these revenue metrics was at either the high end or exceeded
the Company's previously announced revenue guidance for the March 2005 quarter.

New units sold in the fiscal 2005 third quarter included 6,200 new Bluebird(R)
gaming devices, 257 hybrid units and 44 legacy units. The average selling price
per new unit increased 16% from the prior year quarter to $10,204 in the March
2005 quarter reflecting the benefit of increased sales of gaming devices housed
in our Bluebird cabinet, which generated an average selling price per unit of
$10,289 during the quarter. The increase in total revenues for the March 2005
quarter also reflects an increase of $2.1 million, or 26%, in parts, used games
and greater conversion sales, as we shipped 1,910 conversion kits, including
1,696 CPU-NXT upgrade kits in the quarter. The Company did not ship any OEM
units in the March 2005 quarter compared to 1,000 units shipped in the March
2004 quarter.

Gaming operations revenues of $31.2 million increased by $10.0 million in the
March 2005 quarter compared to the March 2004 quarter. The average installed
base of participation gaming devices increased to 5,328 units in the March 2005
quarter from 4,202 units in the prior year quarter. The period end installed
base grew 1,767 units to 5,983 units at March 31, 2005 from 4,216 at March 31,
2004 and grew by 962 units, or 19%, from December 31, 2004. During the quarter
the Company launched A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS(TM) wide area progressive (WAP)
jackpots in Nevada and Native American casinos and continued the rollout of the
MONOPOLY(TM) Money(TM) WAP jackpots, including a 90-day limited rollout in New
Jersey. At March 31, 2005, WAP games accounted for approximately 10% of the
Company's participation installed base.

                                                                    Exhibit 99.1

WMS Industries Reports Third Quarter Results, 5/3/05                      page 4

The success of new game themes across each of the Company's participation series
has accelerated the transition of participation games from legacy cabinets to
new games in Bluebird cabinets, as we installed approximately 1,500 new games in
Bluebird cabinets in the March 2005 quarter and at March 31, 2005, approximately
59% of our participation installed base is in Bluebird cabinets. Gaming
operations revenues benefited from a 24% increase in royalty, VLT, and other
lease revenues to $8.3 million in the March 2005 quarter primarily due to
increased purchases and placements of licensed WMS game content by our
licensees. We do not expect royalty, VLT and other lease revenue to continue at
this high level.

We expect growth in our installed base and average net revenue per day of gaming
operations machines in future quarters as we continue to install new
participation games in our Bluebird cabinet. As of today, our open orders for
game theme conversions and new participation games exceed 2,200 games. The
current level of open orders remains among the highest in our history, even
after the growth of the installed base footprint by almost 1,750 units, or 41%,
since June 30, 2004.

The average revenue per day for participation gaming devices in the March 2005
quarter increased by $10.03 per day, or 26%, from the March 2004 quarter. We
believe the increase reflects the favorable response from casino patrons to the
introduction of new game themes in new Bluebird cabinets and the increase in
placements of our WAP gaming devices, which generate a higher revenue per day
than our non-linked participation game offerings. Based on game refreshes, new
game themes and the increase in WAP product offerings, we expect the positive
trend in average revenue per day to continue in the June 2005 quarter.

Total gross profit increased 57%, or $19.7 million, to $54.3 million for the
March 2005 quarter from $34.6 million in the March 2004 quarter. The gross
margin on product sales revenues, after the impact of $1.6 million of inventory
reserves and $0.2 million of separation costs related to a reduction in
work-force was 39% for the March 2005 quarter compared to 42% for the March 2004
quarter. The gross margin percentage for the March 2005 quarter was impacted by
the product mix as well as the separation charges and reserves to write-down
legacy products to net realizable value. We continue to expect that in fiscal
2006, the gross margin on Bluebird gaming devices will approach the mid-40%
range, as we attain the benefits from our strategic sourcing and value
engineering initiatives and continue to achieve the benefits from leveling the
production schedule throughout the quarter. Additionally, the recently
implemented price increases and product enhancements are also expected to
support margin growth.

The gross profit margin on gaming operations was 78% and 79% for the March 2005
and 2004 quarters, respectively, as lower margins on WAP games and higher
royalties payable to licensors were partially offset by higher royalties
received from licensees. In addition, the number of jackpot payouts on our WAP
links impacted the margin, as nine jackpots were awarded in the March 2005
quarter.

Research and development expenses, which include $0.3 million of separation
costs related to a reduction in work-force, increased $1.0 million, or 8%, to
$12.9 million in the March 2005 quarter compared to $11.9 million in the prior
year quarter and decreased $0.6 million from the December 31, 2004 quarter. The
year-over-year increase in research and development costs was due to headcount
increases to fully staff international game development studios and ongoing
execution of the technology improvement plan, separation expense and higher
product approval costs for a greater number of new game themes.

WMS Industries Reports Third Quarter Results, 5/3/05                      page 5


Selling and administrative expenses, which include $0.5 million of separation
costs related to a reduction in work-force, increased $5.8 million, or 39%, to
$20.6 million in the March 2005 quarter compared to $14.8 million in the March
2004 quarter and increased by $1.3 million from the December 2004 quarter.
Selling and administrative costs increased over the March 2004 quarter due to
net additional headcount, higher commissions based on substantially higher
revenues, separation expense, and higher equity compensation costs.

In aggregate, research and development and selling and administrative expenses
in the March 2005 quarter, exclusive of $0.8 million of separation costs,
remained at the same level as those incurred in the December 2004 quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.2 million to $10.9 million
from the March 2004 quarter as the level of investment in participation gaming
devices for gaming operations increased due to the installation of approximately
1,500 new games in Bluebird cabinets during the March 2005 quarter and
approximately 3,500 new Bluebird cabinets during the nine months of fiscal 2005.
The Company has invested $44.0 million in gaming operations machines in the nine
months ended March 31, 2005. The rapid growth in our installed base of
participation games has resulted in our investment in new Bluebird machines
increasing at a higher rate than initially projected and we expect this level of
investment in gaming operations equipment will continue to increase in the June
2005 quarter as we place more participation game themes, including WAP game
themes, in our new Bluebird cabinet.

WMS generated an increase of $8.7 million in operating income, inclusive of the
$1.0 million of separation charges, to $9.9 million in the March 2005 quarter
compared to $1.2 million in the March 2004 quarter. The improved operating
performance in the fiscal 2005 third quarter resulted from a $19.7 million
increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in
research and development expenses, a $5.8 million increase in selling and
administrative expenses, and a $4.2 million increase in depreciation and
amortization expense.

We incurred interest and issuance cost amortization expenses of $1.0 million in
the March 2005 quarter primarily related to our 2.75% Convertible Notes. We
recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.6 million from the license of certain intellectual
property of a discontinued business in Other Income. We also recorded a tax
provision of $2.8 million in the March 2005 quarter reflecting the impact of our
revised estimated annual effective tax rate of 30%.

Brian Gamache continued, "Pursuant to our ongoing focus on capital allocation,
we continued investing in future content and positioning WMS to drive industry
innovation through the licensing of important intellectual property rights.
These investments include new high profile, high impact brand names such as
WORLD SERIES OF POKER(TM), and new technologies, such as our cross-license for
display technology with Aruze Corporation.

"Our March quarter demonstrates that we are results driven and capable of making
tangible progress towards improving our bottom line," stated Gamache. "We showed
that we can leverage our product popularity and revenue growth into enhanced
operating performance and we expect the cost savings and efficiency initiatives
we have and will continue to implement should build our operating margins in the
future.

 "Our products continue to achieve a high level of acceptance and our open
orders for both product sales and gaming operations provide visibility that
should extend our revenue momentum," concluded Gamache. "We are clearly focused
on dramatically growing our market share and we are on target to become North
America's second largest provider of gaming devices. Our confidence in our
ability to achieve that goal is evidenced by the fiscal 2006 revenue guidance
that we initiated today of $465 - $490 million, which reflects about 20% to 25%
revenue growth over our current forecast for fiscal 2005 anticipated revenue."

"intend," among others. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from
the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, any or all of our forward-looking statements may prove to be
incorrect. Consequently, no forward-looking statements may be guaranteed.

Factors which could cause our actual results to differ from expectations include
(1) delay or refusal by regulators to approve our new gaming platforms, cabinet
designs, game themes and related hardware and software, (2) a failure to obtain
and maintain our gaming licenses and regulatory approvals, (3) an inability to
introduce in a timely manner new games and gaming machines that achieve and
maintain market acceptance, (4) a software anomaly or fraudulent manipulation of
our gaming machines and software, (5) a failure to obtain the right to use, or
an inability to adapt to rapid development of new technologies, and (6) an
infringement claim seeking to restrict our use of material technologies. These
factors and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from
expectations are more fully described under "Item 1. Business-Risk Factors" in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004 and our more
recent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
