Scientific Games and Wazdan join forces in the US market

Scientific Games has enlisted Wazdan to assist it in boosting its presence within regulated markets across North America via its OpenGaming platform.

The agreement that the two parties have signed specifies that they will work together to deliver mobile-first content for the states of New Jersey and West Virginia, with the collaboration commencing in Q1 2022.

Steve Mayes, the partnership director at SG Digital remarked on the new alliance, saying,

 “This exclusive aggregation partnership further strengthens the wide range of games we can offer players in key regulated states across the US through our OpenGaming platform, which incorporate responsible gaming tools.”

“Everyone within the industry knows how talented the team at Wazdan are and what they bring to the table. We thoroughly believe players across the US will enjoy their fantastic portfolio of slots just as much as everyone else across the world does. Finally, I’d like to thank Bekki D’Agata at Wazdan for her assistance in getting this major deal over the line,” he continued.

Wazdan intends to use the deal to “intensify” its focus on North America as the studio moves to secure supplier licenses in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

The deal will also provide OpenGaming customers with access to Wazdan’s premium content like Sizzling 777 Deluxe, Power of Gods: the Pantheon, Black Horse Deluxe, Relic Hunters and the Book of Faith. The selection will additionally include the new Hold the Jackpot slots, such as Sun of Fortune and Burning Stars 3. These form part of the first set of titles to be provided, with more due to be added in the coming months.

Michal Imiolek, the CEO at Wazdan NJ said,

“Scientific Games is a company that needs no introduction, being one of the leading players in the industry. We’re delighted to partner with them in this exclusive agreement. Our progress in the United States has been our greatest success this year. We can’t wait to work closely with Scientific Games going forward and expand our footprint in the US, providing players with immersive experiences.”
