Wazdan Goes Live at Grand Casino, the Only Online Casino Allowed in Hungary
Wazdan is thrilled to announce its partnership with Grand Casino, Hungary, the only online casino allowed by the Hungarian Gaming Commission.
The partnership took place late in 2019 whereby Wazdan games went live on the Grand Casino site as part of a soft launch, marking a momentous occasion for the innovative game producer, securing a position to provide their games to the only player in the Hungarian market.
Grand Casino was launched in 2018 after the Hungarian Gaming Commission opened the door for online gaming to operate in the country through regulations that would provide players with a completely legal, safe way to enjoy gaming online.
After years of preparation, Grand Casino’s online interface, designed by their skilled team of gaming professionals, was made available to the public, delivering on the specific needs of users in the Hungarian market — providing security, data protection, gaming stability and enforcing responsible gambling.
Committed to providing players with quality entertainment, Grand Casino is selective to partner with only the best online game producers offering top-tier technology and player experiences, a position that Wazdan is proud to uphold.
So far, 15 Wazdan games have gone live at Grand Casino, all of which are long-time player favorites: Bars & 7s, Black Horse™, Burning Reels, Colin the Cat™, Fenix Play Deluxe, Fenix Play 27 Deluxe, Haunted Hospital, In The Forest, Jumping Fruits, Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe, Magic Hot 4 Deluxe, Mystery Jack Deluxe, Valhalla, Wild Guns, and Wild Jack. More games are to be released soon.
Wazdan is a top-tier, tech-driven slot game producer bringing their partners more than a decade of accumulated knowledge on just how to deliver high-quality experiences that delight both players and operators.
As an innovation-led organization, Wazdan pioneer tech-forward solutions to captivate players and offer them gameplay that can be designed to their particular tastes. This is accomplished through the Unique Wazdan Features which are active in all Wazdan games, features that allow players to tailor their gaming experience.
Wazdan’s Volatility Levels™ allows players to adjust the volatility of their game. Double Screen Mode brings back the feeling of land-based slot machines where the paytable is viewable at all times. Energy Saving Mode works for mobile to extend the players’ battery life by up to 40 percent, and Ultra Lite Mode decreases the time taken to load the game – perfect for poorly connected areas. The Unique Gamble Feature allows players to double their win in an instant, Ultra Fast Mode increases the game speed, and the latest Unique Wazdan Feature, Big Screen Mode, zooms the reels of the game to fill the entire screen.
“It has been thrilling to pioneer the online gaming sector in Hungary and we humbly recognise that while our success is in part the result of hard work from our highly talented team, the remaining success factors have to do with the partnerships we make, selecting the best gaming providers to deliver experiences to our players through our casino. As a leading slots producer with highly engaging, feature-rich games, we have been delighted to bring Wazdan onto the site,” says Robert Peters, CEO of Grand Casino and Omni Slots.
“We are extremely proud to partner with Grand Casino, a casino that has done so much to lead the gaming sector in Hungary and truly embodies the values that we too hold here at Wazdan. We’re excited to have our games live on the Grand Casino site, and we look forward to working more with the team to release new games that their players can enjoy,” says Andrzej Hyla, Head of Sales, at Wazdan.
