Wazdan has also prepared a special surprise for our visitors, a Mystery Box Giveaway. Attendees can claim a Mystery Box here and get a special coupon that entitles them to receive some amazing prizes, such as exclusive merchandise, Apple AirPods, fine spirits including Glengoyne 30-Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, and even a chance to go on a luxury trip!
We’re very much looking forward to showing off Wazdan to the world and meeting our dear partners.
How has Wazdan been preparing for the event?
As always, it’s been a busy time at Wazdan as we always do our best to put on an excellent exhibition for our visitors. We’ve been working hard to enhance the in-game features and to perfect the games’ design to ensure they’re ready for action on the big day.
Meanwhile, Wazdan team is preparing for the show by scheduling meetings with our partners, as well as getting the gifts ready for the Mystery Box giveaway.
We are also being kept busy with two awards ceremonies. Firstly, our top-performing 9 Coins slot has been recognised and shortlisted for the Global Gaming Awards, with the awards ceremony being held on the 6th of February. Additionally, the Online Sports Betting Operator category is being sponsored by Wazdan, and Michał Imiołek, our CEO will be a part of the judging panel for the entire event. Wazdan has been also nominated in two International Gaming Awards (IGA) categories, which results will be announced at a prestigious ceremony during the week of ICE London 2023.
Following a string of new games in January, can you tell us a bit more about the upcoming releases you have in store?
We started off this new year with amazing titles that are getting recognised already. The Power of Sun: Svarog slot, which features the popular Hold the Jackpot bonus round, as well as our flagship engagement-boosting Cash Infinity and Sticky to Infinity tools, has been shortlisted for the One to Watch Award by SlotsWise. Last week we’ve also released a new retro title, Hot Slot: 777 Stars, which attracts players with a thrilling 9 Stars Jackpot and sets the path for the new editions of the series.
Since the Hot Slot series proved to be a tremendous hit with players when it was released last year, we have prepared a number of new impressive classic slots. These include an easy-to-understand Hot Slot: 777 Rubies with four Jackpots that are easier to hit thanks to the Magic Respin feature, as well as Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic with entertaining Free Spins with Expanding Bonus symbols and engaging Collect to Infinity and Sticky to Infinity mechanics. Coming next will be Hot Slot 777 Cash Out and Hot Slot: 777 Coins, both with a brand-new Cash Out feature.
We’ve also got a surprise in store for players with Mystery Kingdom: Mystery Bells, which offers some ultra-engaging features like Cash Infinity, Hold the Jackpot, and the innovative One Click to the Grand Jackpot mechanic. Rounding off our new releases we’ve got a return of Cash Infinity in 12 Coins, as a new addition to our top-performing game series.
Wazdan has already outlined its exciting roadmap for the first quarter of this year, what else can we expect in 2023?
This year we really want to focus the operator’s attention on Wazdan’s Cash Drop and Mystery Drop promotional tools which have proven to deliver great results.
During ICE, we will also be inviting operators to join our network promotions which include an eye-catching prize pool of €1,000,000, fully covered by Wazdan, as well as full technical support, all marketing assets and graphic materials, and a free opt-in. The whole setup is in our back office so there’s no effort required on the operator’s end.
With our Mystery Drop promotions, players will be able to win instant cash rewards in our top-performing slots, including 9 Coins, Burniing Sun, Magic Spins, Power of Sun: Svarog, and Hot Slot: 777 Crown. As a supplier of premium games, we feel it is important to captivate players with new engaging content and promotional tools and that will remain a priority for us as we tackle 2023.
