Wazdan, the innovative games provider, has returned after celebrating a year of success and growth at this year’s CasinoBeats Summit.

Taking place between the 23^rd and 25^th May, over 3,000 of the industry’s most prominent leaders, creators and experts headed to Malta’s InterContinental Hotel for the fifth edition of the renowned event.

The CasinoBeats Summit allows providers to showcase their latest games and technologies, with expert-led panels and networking events also providing business and education opportunities.

Wazdan’s Account Management and Marketing teams were in attendance, sponsoring the CasinoBeats Boat Trip on the summit’s first day with many people from the industry coming to relax, connect and have fun.

The slots supplier was also shortlisted in four categories during the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards taking place on the last day of the event: Game Mechanic of the Year 2023, Game Feature of the Year 2023, Slot of the Year 2023, and Game Innovation Spotlight Award and Wazdan ended the event with an award in the Game Feature of the Year 2023 category.   

Commenting on the event, Magdalena Wojdyla, Head of Account Management for Europe at Wazdan said:

“Wazdan always has a fantastic time attending the CasinoBeats Summit, and this year was no exception! We embrace being able to connect with other professionals and learn from them, whilst also looking ahead to the future.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the Summit this year and want to thank CasinoBeats for how well the entire event was organised – we hope to return to Malta next year for three more days of fun!”

Wazdan, the innovative games provider, has released its latest state of the art game 12 Coins™.

Acting as a successor to last year’s standout 9 Coins™ series, the game amplifies familiar features found in the original game with the inclusion of new and innovative in-game mechanics.

Boasting a highly lucrative Grand Jackpot, the Hold the Jackpot™ feature offers even more opportunity for wins in 12 Coins™ and can reward users by up to 750x a player’s bet.

Cash Infinity™ returns after appearing in the original game, a feature that has shown to improve players’ experience, further enhancing player engagement and amplifying retention rates.

Adding to the excitement is the player-favourite bonus round Hold the Jackpot™, allowing players to win impressive prizes.

Played out on a new 3×4 grid, the game features 12 reels and aims to build on the popularity of the top-performing 9 Coins™ slot series, which generated fantastic results for operators.

12 Coins™ is the latest release from Wazdan after recent innovative titles reached the market, including two recent additions to the Hot Slot™ series Hot Slot™: 777 Coins and Hot Slot™: 777 Cash Out.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Bringing the 9 Coins™ series to new heights, 12 Coins™ is anything but a traditional sequel. Augmenting the original reel grid and providing player-favourite features such as the Hold the Jackpot™ mechanic ups the ante for players, presenting an unforgettable gaming experience.  

“We anticipate this game to generate similar results for operators as the original title and can’t wait to see the reactions!”

Wazdan, the innovative games provider, has been selected as Best Slot Provider In The Nordics at this year’s BSG Awards.

The award recognises the slots supplier’s efforts to create innovative, forward-thinking games, with titles such as the renowned 9 Coins™ and Hot Slot™ series being embraced by players in the region over the past year.

Established in 2019, the BSG Awards have quickly become some of the most important in the Baltic and Nordic gaming industry, highlighting significant achievements from the past year.

The winners were announced at a ceremony in Riga, Latvia on 16^th May, with Wazdan taking home one of the night’s most prestigious trophies.

Players from eligible countries were invited to vote for their favourites in each category earlier this year, with the final results being decided via a jury vote.

The in-person event was part of the Mare Balticum Gaming and Tech Summit, the leading industry conference where Wazdan was in attendance.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said:

“Being named Best Nordic Slot Provider at this year’s BSG Awards is a testament to the hard work and continued commitment of our incredible team at Wazdan.

“The Baltic and Nordic markets are key for us, so we’re very proud to have our games recognised in this capacity. We look forward to next year’s ceremony, and are sending our biggest congratulations to this year’s winners!”
