NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of WMS Industries, Inc. ("WMS Industries" or the "Company") (NYSE: WMS) (ISIN: US9292971093) (CUSIP: 929297109) concerning the proposed acquisition of WMS Industries by Scientific Games Corporation in a transaction valued at approximately $1.5 billion in cash.
