Wazdan is the latest gaming provider to secure its Ontario supplier license as the big-name studios continue to stack up across Canada’s largest province. We have seen a constant flow of news since the Ontario iGaming market was officially opened earlier this year on the 4th of April. Any casino and software studio would be overjoyed to join an expanding market such as Ontario.
A Milestone for Wazdan
For Wazdan, this particular license marks an extra special occasion as it comes as the 20th market entry in its history. Whether planned or not, the 20th license giving access to Ontario is quite a statement and one that Michal Imiolek, Wazdan's chief executive, is clearly pleased about. His comments touched on the sheer excitement to be part of the official Ontario market while also implying the move is all in line with Wazdan’s wider vision of gaining a foothold across North America.
Imiolek was also right in saying that all operators and players within Ontario will benefit from the portfolio of games Wazdan has to offer. The impressive range of slot themes and features built for all player preferences is a factor that helps make the studio stand out from the crowd. Games like Midnight in Tokyo, Power of Gods: Hades, and Jelly Reels are prime examples of the diversity in the slots developed by the Wazdan team.
Wazdan Reaping the Rewards
The news of Wazdan moving into Ontario is big for all Canadians who look for gaming variety in their favoured online casino. Still, the ongoing success is not that unexpected if you lift the lid on the studio’s recent past. Wazdan continues to pick up nominations for all the work they have been doing and continue to do for the iGaming industry. The team has been shortlisted for three categories at the EGR B2B Awards – Employer of the Year, Mobile Supplier, and Innovation in Slot Provision Awards.
That last nomination, in particular, speaks volumes about what Wazdan is doing right now. After all, we all want to see and ultimately play innovative slot games. Multiple shortlist nominations across several other awards events solidify the efforts and steps in the right direction this studio is making.
The license provided by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is certainly big news for all involved, but we doubt very much that this is the last we will hear of Wazdan this year. Perhaps a few awards will find their way onto the shelves at Wazdan HQ? Maybe we will see more license approvals as the team continue its march across North America and beyond? One thing we can be sure of is the release of many more slot games. After all, that is what Wazdan does best - you can now ask the casino players of Ontario for proof of that.
