Wazdan, the innovative games provider, starts off its Extremely Light collection with a new version of 9 Coins™, one of its biggest slots.

The provider recently presented its new Extremely Light portfolio, featuring simplified graphics and fewer animations to make the games more suitable for mobile devices and slower internet connections. The games in this series also require less energy, making them lighter on battery life and more eco-friendly.

As the newest addition to the player-favourite 9 Coins™ franchise, 9 Coins: Extremely Light™ sees Wazdan go back to its roots with the same ingenious mechanics and exciting features.

The Hold the Jackpot™ bonus game makes a comeback, being activated after players draw three Bonus symbols on the middle row of the reels and immediately granting three respins.

Here, three different jackpots can be won with Jackpot Mystery symbols. With the Collector symbol, all values from Cash and Cash Infinity™ symbols are collected and randomly multiplied, while nine Bonus symbols are needed to award the Grand Jackpot of 500x the main bet.

Cash Infinity™ symbols can also land during the base game, increasing the chances of activating the Hold the Jackpot feature and awarding between 5x-10x the player’s bet.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan said: “We plan to continue to grow our Extremely Light collection, starting off with this new version of 9 Coins™, one of our top slots that marked the first entry in a hugely successful franchise.

“We’ve kept all the features and mechanics players know and love, including the Hold the Jackpot bonus round and Cash Infinity™ symbols that boost winning potential to new heights. We’re thrilled to be opening up 9 Coins™ to more people than ever before!”
