What Wazdan does
Wazdan is a Malta-headquartered, privately held B2B iGaming software developer founded in 2010, specializing in HTML5 cross-platform online casino slot games. The company develops, owns, and licenses a portfolio of 400+ games organized into recognizable series (9 Coins™, Mighty Wild™, Mighty Symbols™, Magic Fruit$™, Hot Slot™, Mighty Crown™, Fenix Play™), differentiated by a proprietary suite of mechanics including Hold the Jackpot™, Cash Infinity™, Volatility Levels™, Chance Level™, Cash Out, Collect to Infinity™, Sticky to Infinity™ and Countdown to Payout™, plus operator-facing promotional tools such as Mystery Drop™ and multi-stage Network Promotions (e.g., the €4,000,000 Wazdan Summer Drop). Game mathematics, feature design and Certified RNG mechanics are developed in-house under Malta Gaming Authority license MGA/B2B/206/2011 and equivalent licenses in 30+ regulated jurisdictions.
The business operates a B2B licensing/royalty model: Wazdan does not sell directly to end players, but rather distributes its content to online casino operators via direct enterprise partnerships with major brands (Caesars Entertainment, FanDuel, bet365, Austrian Lotteries/win2day) and via aggregation platforms such as Light & Wonder that provide reach into the long tail of smaller operators. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with regional account management (North America, Latin America, Europe) and a strong industry-events presence at ICE, SBC Summits and SiGMA, complemented by an extensive affiliate and media network (AskGamblers, Casino.org, SlotsCalendar, Gamblizard and 30+ others). Specific pricing, license fees and revenue share terms are negotiated bilaterally and are not publicly disclosed.
Wazdan Limited is the primary legal entity (Malta), with operational subsidiaries in Poland (Wazdan Solutions Sp. z o.o. and Wazdan Services Limited Sp. z o.o. Oddział w Polsce, the latter a branch handling recruitment and HR). The company is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external venture or private equity investment, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity in the input data. Leadership is led by CEO Michal Imiolek, with CCO Andrzej Hyla driving commercial activity; the firm holds 101-250 employees and continues to expand its regulated-market footprint, with recent 2026 commercial launches on FanDuel (Pennsylvania), Caesars (West Virginia), bet365 (exclusive pre-launch) and market entries into Austria, Switzerland and Portugal.
