Wazdan and FanDuel partnership

Wazdan, the gain-focused developer renowned for its performance-driven slot mechanics, has significantly bolstered its North American footprint through a landmark partnership with FanDuel Casino, one of the continent’s premier iGaming operators.

Simultaneous Launch Across Regulated Borders

Facilitated by Light & Wonder’s world-class aggregation platform, the agreement sees a dual-market rollout of Wazdan’s high-performing content. Players in Ontario, Canada, and Michigan, USA, now have immediate access to a curated selection of feature-rich titles designed to elevate the standard of digital entertainment.

In the Ontario market, FanDuel has introduced Mighty Fish™: Blue Marlin and 36 Coins™. These titles are celebrated for their recognizable themes paired with innovative backend mathematics. Meanwhile, Michigan players can now engage with 12 Bells™ and the classic-inspired Hot Slot™: 777 Crown, both of which focus on clarity, rhythmic gameplay, and deep feature engagement.

Engagement-Boosting Mechanics at the Core

The initial launch is just the beginning of a broader content roadmap. FanDuel Casino’s portfolio is slated for an “extensive flurry” of additional Wazdan slot offerings in the coming months. Each title integrates Wazdan’s signature engagement tools, including:

  • Cash Infinity™
  • Hold the Jackpot
  • Sticky to Infinity™

These mechanics are specifically engineered to provide measurable growth for operators by increasing player lifetime value and session duration.

A Milestone in North American Strategy

This expansion builds upon Wazdan’s successful deployments in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, cementing the developer as a staple in the regulated U.S. and Canadian landscapes.

Radka Bacheva, Head of Sales at Wazdan:

“Partnering with FanDuel represents a major milestone in Wazdan’s North American growth strategy and underlines the strong demand for our engagement-driven portfolio across regulated markets. FanDuel’s reach and reputation make them an ideal partner… We are confident that our feature-rich titles and proven mechanics will resonate strongly with players.”
