Wazdan Partners with FanDuel in Michigan and Ontario

Wazdan has expanded its North American footprint with a fresh new partnership with FanDuel. The content distribution deal sees the iGaming developer, which specializes in creating casino games with customizable features, reinforce its position in the ever-expanding US and Canadian markets. 

It's good news for FanDuel, too, which will benefit from the addition of exciting new titles to its casino platform, channeling growth to its casino platform.

Speaking on behalf of Wazdan, Head of Sales, Radka Bacheva, described the new partnership as a major milestone in the company's North American growth strategy. The success of the deal is a positive signifier of the strong demand for Wazdan's engagement-driven portfolio across regulated markets. Bacheva explained further, adding:

"FanDuel's reach and reputation make them an ideal partner, and launching simultaneously in Ontario and Michigan is a powerful way to introduce our games to new audiences. We are confident that our feature-rich titles and proven mechanics will resonate strongly with players and deliver tangible value for FanDuel as we continue to scale our presence across the region."

Casino fans in Ontario and Michigan can enjoy two of Wazdan's feature-filled titles, which have been simultaneously launched on the FanDuel Casino. The slots are facilitated by Light & Wonder's aggregation platform. 

In Ontario, players can try their hand at "Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin" and "36 Coins". "Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin", which was named 'One to Watch 2024' at that year's Slotswise Awards, takes players on an aquatic adventure. With an RTP of 96.18% and a max win of 2500x, this very high volatility slot is bursting with features. Free spins, Chance Level, Collect to Infinity, and two special Cash Out mechanisms make this an entertaining slot with a lot to offer.

"36 Coins" opts for a more traditional theme of glittering golden coins. This addition to the provider's popular Coins series offers players 36 reels and a max win of 2000x. Mechanisms, including Cash Infinity, Chance Level, Sticky to Infinity, and Hold the Jackpot, give players a boost on their treasure hunt.

Meanwhile, players in Michigan can enjoy "12 Bells", which features many of the same great patented features seen in the Coins series. The Chance Level is on hand to help players boost the odds of triggering bonus rounds, where there's a chance of hitting the Grand Jackpot at 750x the bet placed. This game is another example of how Wazdan uses thrilling features to up the ante and boost engagement.

Players in the state can also have a go at "Hot Slot: 777 Crown". A retro theme brings together classic fruit, lucky 7, and diamond symbols in a 5-reel, 20-payline slot. While the design might harken back to classic casino days, this game is far from behind the times. Cash prizes up to 305x the player's bet are up for grabs. Customizable features, including adjustable Volatility Levels, allow players to tailor the game while maintaining the excitement.

Wazdan has a keen eye for what players want, updating classic themes and design with mechanisms that fuel enjoyment and offer more opportunities to win. Its slots are particularly well optimized for mobile play, a particularly useful detail for those who like to play on the go. Many of its games incorporate an energy-saving mode that helps to extend device battery life by up to 40%.

Wazdan first dipped its toes into Michigan's online casino market back in 2024, when it secured a deal with Caesars Entertainment. The agreement saw a selection of the developer's flagship titles go live on Caesars Palace Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino. 

Wazdan's products have proved popular elsewhere in the US market, too. In New Jersey, it has struck deals with bet365, Hard Rock Bet, and Caesars. In Pennsylvania, it has partnered with Caesars once again, as well Rush Street Interactive, the operator behind such brands as BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse. West Virginians can enjoy Wazdan's offerings at Caesars online platforms and at Fanatics Casino.

As it currently stands, Caesars holds operating licenses with gaming authorities in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and West Virginia. Looking at the continued relationship between the pair so far, we wouldn't be surprised to see Wazdan enter into further partnerships with Caesars if it were to attain licenses in other US states.

Michigan players keen to delve further into the best slots, bonuses, and online casino platforms available in the Great Lakes state can find plenty of useful information at Casino.org. Their team of experts has compiled a guide to the best Michigan online casinos, to ensure readers have access to up-to-date, unbiased data relevant to them. 

Wazdan also has a considerable footprint over the border, in Canada. The iGaming firm has partnered with several gambling operators in Ontario over the years in order to extend its customer reach. That includes a 2024 deal with NEO.bet, which saw an initial batch of twenty of its top-performing slots added to the operator's casino platform. A large portion of its portfolio has also been made available to Caesars Casino. The latest deal to be struck by Wazdan in the province is with Green Brick Labs.

At the moment, Ontario is the only province in Canada to have opened up its own private gambling market to operators. However, Alberta is preparing to follow in Ontario's footsteps and is undertaking the final preparations before launching its own private market later this year. At the pace Wazdan is going, it seems like only a matter of time before Albertans will be able to enjoy Wazdan's impressive portfolio of games at licensed online casino operators.

Returning to FanDuel Casino, the fun won't stop with those new titles. Its portfolio will be further enriched by additional Wazdan slots in the near future. The developer has built a considerable reputation, since its 2010 launch, for producing engaging slots with clever and unique mechanics that keep players coming back for more. Players can look forward to enjoying such features as Hold the Jackpot, Cash Infinity, and Sticky to Infinity, in the upcoming games.
