The bespoke version of Wazdan’s 16 Coins adds Betsson branding and keeps Hold the Jackpot and Cash Infinity features.

Wazdan has launched 16 Coins Betsson, a bespoke branded version of its 16 Coins title, in partnership with Betsson.

The release adapts Wazdan’s Coins series format for Betsson players, combining the original game’s mechanics with operator-specific branding. The game is played across 16 independent reels in a 4×4 layout.

In 16 Coins Betsson, rewards are delivered through the Hold the Jackpot bonus round rather than standard paying symbols in the base game. During the bonus, players collect Coin symbols across the grid with the objective of filling all positions to win the Grand Jackpot.

The game also includes Wazdan’s Cash Infinity mechanic.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Delivering tailored experiences for our partners has always been an important part of our approach, and 16 Coins Betsson is a strong example of how we can adapt proven content while preserving the quality of the user experience.

“We are proud of what our team has achieved with this release and delighted to collaborate with Betsson on bringing a customised version of one of our most well-loved game formats to its players.”
