Through Gambling Soft the games are already connected: you get them with the platform, without separate contracts or API keys, from $7,500.

Licences and markets

The site lists 30+ further licences and certifications on its licences page. Games ship in 30 languages and support all currencies, crypto included.

Portfolio and series

Wazdan lists more than 400 cross-platform games on its site. Most of them are slots, and a large part of the catalogue is built as series that share one feature set. The Coins series runs on Hold the Jackpot style bonus rounds and is the studio’s main focus in 2026, with new titles such as Haunted Coins (up to x5000) and 25 Coins (up to x3000). The Hot Slot series covers retro fruit slots with jackpots. The Mighty Wild series brings animal themes with bigger top wins. In 2025 the studio also started the Burning Board line.

Popular Wazdan games

The table shows three titles that Wazdan marks as top performing on its own site. Figures are from the official game sheets.

36 Coins combines Hold the Jackpot with Cash Infinity, Chance Level and Sticky to Infinity. Mighty Wild: Panther Grand Diamond Edition uses Cash Out and Wild Rampage and was nominated at SiGMA East Europe 2024. Hot Slot: 777 Cash Out is the eighth game of the Hot Slot series and has a Grand Jackpot. RTP can differ by the version the operator runs, so check the figure in the game sheet before you promote it.

Mechanics and technology

Wazdan’s best known idea is Volatility Levels, added in 2018. The player picks low, standard or high volatility in the same game, so one slot can suit a careful player and a risk seeker. Chance Level lets the player raise the chance of reaching the bonus round for a higher stake. Ultra Fast Mode speeds up spins, Energy Saving Mode lowers battery use on phones, and a gamble feature is built into many slots.

Hold the Jackpot, launched in 2021, is the bonus round behind the Coins series: coin symbols lock on the reels and the round pays jackpot prizes. Later features such as Collect to Infinity and Cash Infinity build on it. For operators the studio also offers promo tools, including Cash Drop, and network promotions. All games are HTML5 and run on desktop and mobile from one build.

How to add Wazdan through Gambling Soft

A direct contract with Wazdan means its own due diligence, a licence the studio accepts, and a separate integration. Through Gambling Soft you skip that step: the games already run on the platform through our aggregation bridge, so you do not need your own API keys or a separate supplier licence to switch them on.

Where Wazdan fits in a lobby

Wazdan works well for lobbies that run promotions around jackpot and hold-and-win slots, and for mobile-first markets, where Ultra Fast Mode and Energy Saving Mode help. Volatility Levels make it easy to show one game to different player types. The studio has no live tables, for those see our Evolution review.
