Wazdan now available via Livespins
Provider of casino live streaming experience adds another studio to its impressive game portfolio for streamers and brand ambassadors to access
Wazdan, the developer of big action online slot games, has become the latest provider to join the Livespins revolution with its content now integrated into the social live streaming platform that allows players to bet behind their favourite streamer of brand ambassador.
The addition of Wazdan brings yet more in-demand content to the Livespins portfolio, which already includes titles from tier-one studios such as Relax Gaming, Yggdrasil and iSoftBet.
Following the integration, Livespins’ streamers can spin the reels on the studio’s thrilling slot games and take audiences with them as they experience the excitement and entertainment that each game has been developed to provide. This includes top-performing slots such as 9 Coins™, Power of Sun™: Svarog, Hot Slot™: 777 Rubies, Magic Spins™ and Burning Sun™.
Now part of the Livespins experience, its streamers can unbox Wazdan’s latest titles while also showcasing its full catalogue of games to audiences and players who can get directly involved by betting behind the streamer as the action unfolds across the reels.
This creates a group bet and a shared experience but with each player able to choose their own bet value and number of spins. Social interaction is taken to the next level through the ability to communicate with the streamer and other players throughout, and by dropping reactions and emojis.
In recent months, Livespins has struck deals with a selection of operators including Yolo Group, Bitstarz, Mansion Group and WynnBet in the US.
Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “If you are an online casino player, chances are you will have fired up the reels on one or more of Wazdan’s incredible slot games. That’s what makes this such an important integration for Livespins, providing our streamers with access to some of the most in-demand content in the market.
“Of course, those enjoying the Livespins experience will be able to join them for the fast-paced thrill ride, betting behind the streamer and chatting with other players throughout. This is what makes Livespins unique and why developers such as Wazdan want to be part of our innovative product. It really is changing the game by providing an entirely new way to experience online casino.”
Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, added: “Streaming is here and it’s here to stay. This integration with Livespins allows us to leverage its popularity in a way that is responsible and sustainable. It also provides a huge opportunity to showcase our games and unique engagement-boosting features to new audiences and the next generation of players. We look forward to seeing streamers spin up our games and for their audiences to join them for the edge-of-the-seat experience they provide.”

Number of companies and employees in German games industry falls for first time in years
After years of growth, the number of companies and employees in the German games industry declined in 2025. This was announced today by game – The German Games Industry Association on the basis of data from gamesmap.de in cooperation with Goldmedia. According to the data, the number of companies in Germany that develop and/or publish games has dropped by 4 per cent within the past year, to 910. The boom in start-ups in the games sector, which was set in motion by the introduction of the German Federal Games Funding Programme in 2020, has now completely subsided. Last year’s figures already indicated a clear slowdown. This decline was due in particular to the consolidation of the global games market and the unreliable availability of games funding to date in Germany.
Three times since 2020, there have been months-long suspensions placed on funding applications. Despite the newly registered drop, the number of companies has risen by 46 per cent overall since the initial start of the games funding programme in 2020. Of the 910 present companies, 454 work exclusively in game development and 52 exclusively as publishers. The remaining 404 companies are active in both the development and publishing of games.
‘Last year was another very difficult one for the German games industry,’ says Felix Falk, Managing Director of game. ‘Germany’s international competitiveness was further decreased by the ongoing flip-flopping of the games funding policy, which ran right into the consolidation wave that swept the global games sector. Fortunately, the new federal government has already taken the necessary steps to level the playing field for companies in this country. The future funding budget is to be increased and thus adjusted to actual needs, and applications can be submitted from August onwards. These are crucial growth impulses that are urgently needed. The additional funds will not only give companies more planning security, but also time to implement additional tax breaks for games, as set out in the coalition agreement between the CDU, CSU and SPD. The improved conditions will finally give games companies a boost, which will hopefully soon be reflected in more start-ups and the creation of new jobs.’
The number of employees at games companies in Germany has also declined over the last year. Whereas game developers and publishers employed 12,408 workers in 2024, the current figure stands at just 12,134 – a drop of 2 per cent. As with the number of companies, the employee numbers had previously shown strong growth since the introduction of the games funding programme at the federal level: a rise of 23 per cent from 2020 to 2024. The recent decline indicates that the current conditions for the games industry, which offer limited scope for planning due to the repeated funding application stoppages and significant current funding restrictions, are having an impact on the job market. A year ago, there were still more companies with ongoing projects that were internationally competitive thanks to funding at levels comparable to those in other countries – financing that had stabilised Germany’s game sector, despite the global consolidation wave and a lack of funding certainty for the industry here. The game industry secures a total of over 30,000 jobs in Germany. In addition to jobs in development and publishing, these include, for example, skilled professionals in educational institutions, the media and the public and commercial sectors.
About the data
The data is drawn from a survey carried out by Goldmedia on the basis of entries on gamesmap.de. It was conducted on behalf of game – The German Games Industry Association for the period ending on 12 May 2025.
