Pioneering platform solutions provider joins forces with award-winning software developer to bring a bold new world of games to Elantil’s Marketplace

Elantil, the ground-breaking platform solutions provider aiming to introduce an all-new “strategic backbone” to the iGaming industry, has announced it has further expanded its marketplace offering after partnering with award-winning content supplier, Wazdan.

Wazdan is multi-licensed, ICO/IEC 27001 certified studio that’s currently present in over 30 markets worldwide. Boasting a bumper collection of 250+ slots, table games and video poker titles, the provider has built a strong reputation for marrying innovation with entertainment while supplying partner-centric relationships that maximise growth and retention.

Committed to upholding the highest standards in responsible gaming and regulatory compliance, Wazdan is perhaps best known to players for its pioneering Collect To Infinity^TM and Cash Infinity^TM features and to operators for introducing Volatility Levels^TM that help them control their variance.

With all Wazdan content now available via a quick and hassle-free integration, Elantil’s Marketplace operators will be able to reach out to the supplier directly to form their own custom agreements, with this ensuring that costs are kept to a minimum and terms remain fully flexible.

This ensures that – unlike with a conventional game aggregator – Elantil partners have full control over the content and services that they choose to add as well as the duration of any contracts, helping them scale dynamically and at a pace in a way that best suits the needs of their business.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “With Elantil’s Marketplace offering operators a one-stop shop for all their iGaming needs, we’re delighted to be adding Wazdan titles to our impressive roster of content. Available via a simple, one-click integration, these high-quality games will help our clients expand their portfolios and reach new audiences worldwide.”

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Having started out 15 years ago as a bunch of iGaming enthusiasts, Wazdan has become one of the fastest-growing studios around – and the relationships we form with partners has been a key part of that success. By making our content available in Elantil’s Marketplace, we’ll now be able to connect with even more operators worldwide, and we’re really looking forward to hearing how we can help them achieve their goals.”
