The global slots supplier Wazdan has undertaken a major shuffle in its executive team, with a number of high-profile hires and promotions adding a wealth of experience to the provider’s workforce.

On a senior level, Tomasz Tajeldin has been brought in as a senior CRM specialist, Lukasz Kasprzyk has joined as Head of Operations, while Andrzej Hyla has been promoted to Chief Commercial Officer.

In his new role, Tajeldin will be responsible for driving Wazdan’s campaigns and planning strategy across game rollouts, bringing more than six years of iGaming experience to the supplier. Tajeldin will also take control of Wazdan’s promotional activity, centred around the supplier’s Cash Drop promotional tool.

Kasprzyk has more than seven years’ experience and will form a vital pillar in Wazdan’s CRM and Data Analysis departments, developing an engaging, customer-centric approach, while also enhancing the company’s data analysis capabilities. He will also lead Wazdan’s Account Manager team.

Like many other team members, Hyla has been working for Wazdan since the very beginning, having impressive 12 years of experience in the business. Now, his internal promotion sees him become responsible for key commercial growth in major targeted regulated markets across the globe as Wazdan looks to continue to expand its footprint.

Wazdan’s appointments have not only been limited to the executive level, with the supplier enlarging its presence globally with 39 new hires last year across all aspects of the company, including graphic designers, animators, and game developers, as well as boosting the sales and marketing teams.

Justyna Flajszer, HR Manager at Z Management, who is responsible for recruitment at Wazdan, said: “While last year presented its challenges, Wazdan continued to dynamically grow its global presence and added 39 new hires to the team during 2020. With both the senior leadership and company growing consistently, it is a very exciting time for Wazdan and we eagerly look forward to many more successes in 2021.”

Kasprzyk commented: “It is a unique moment in Wazdan history, with the company achieving great progress to date but with so many more opportunities to come. It’s great to be part of a team that is so dedicated and ambitious.” Tajeldin added: “Joining such a well-known brand is very exciting and it is fantastic to work with talented and experienced people on a daily basis.”

Hyla stated: “The past 12 months saw us achieve plenty and I can’t wait to be more involved than ever before in taking the company to new heights. There’s lots to come from Wazdan and it’s a journey we can’t wait to continue.”

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has deepened its existing collaboration with prominent European operator 777, extending the agreement into Spain.

The initial partnership in Belgium proved a success, with Casino777.es set to build on that momentum by integrating a range of products from Thunderkick’s diverse portfolio, including the full Midas Golden Touch franchise and its popular Día de Muertos-inspired series, Esqueleto Explosivo.

The expansion of the agreement marks another step in amplifying Thunderkick’s position in a competitive market, with its Spanish commercial network now spanning numerous European heavyweights and rising regional operators.

The 777 brand is well-established across the continent, where it continues to broaden its online reach in addition to consolidating its retail footing through a partnership with Casino de Spa, one of the world’s oldest land-based facilities.

The onboarding of Thunderkick’s content will further elevate 777.es’ online casino offering, giving players access to distinctive, engaging content, while also strengthening the Swedish studio’s visibility in a jurisdiction earmarked as a priority within its wider European growth strategy.

Mariam Dodosh, Key Account Manager at Thunderkick, said: “The ongoing relationship between 777 and Thunderkick in Belgium is a fruitful one, and the expansion into Spain marked the natural next step of this collaboration.

“Our content continues to drive results with operators in the market, and we look forward to seeing our fan-favourite titles resonate with a new audience at 777.es.”

César Paredes, Country Manager at 777.es, added: “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Thunderkick, and its commitment to creativity shines through in its games.

“We have no doubt Casino777.es players will enjoy the brand-new additions to our online casino as we continue to deliver fresh, dynamic content to the Spanish market. The integration of Thunderkick into our portfolio is another step in our commitment to providing our players with the best possible gaming experience.”
