Wazdan unveils sparkly addition to Hold the Jackpot collection Dwarfs Fortune™

Wazdan, the leading casino games supplier, is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest Hold the Jackpot slot title, Dwarfs Fortune™.
Buried deep underground in a mine coated with precious gemstones, players are invited to embark on a journey in search of untold riches, where wins are awarded for drawing five of the same symbols, anywhere on the reels. Wilds, Multipliers, and other Bonus symbols make their way across the top row of the reels in minecarts for bigger wins.
As players work their way through the mines, their goal is to reach greater depths and trigger the Hold the Jackpot bonus round that can reward them with riches as high as 2,500x their bet!
To boost their chances of triggering this lucrative bonus, players can use innovative Increasing Value Sticky Cash symbols that not only stick to the reels for up to 9 re-spins, but also increase their value with every spin.
The Hold the Jackpot bonus round is triggered by six Bonus symbols of any type, awarding players with three re-spins and the ability to reset the count each time a new symbol lands on the reels. Here, Cash and Increasing Value Cash symbols award prizes ranging from 1x to 10x, 12x, and 15x player’s bet. What is more, Increasing Value Cash symbols increase their value with each re-spin, allowing players to discover infinite dwarven treasures hidden deep in the mines of Dwarfs Fortune™.
There are also various Special Bonus symbols available in the bonus round that will only appear on the top row of the reels, increasing the chances of triggering a big prize. These consist of Jackpot symbols that grant Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpots, Mystery symbols that can transform into any other Bonus symbol, and Dwarfs Mystery symbols that guarantee a Jackpot win.
Finally, an exciting new feature ensures that when a Collector symbol is drawn, it is assigned a random value from one to nine, and with each spin, the symbol accumulates all values from Cash and Increasing Value Cash symbols on the reels, until the countdown reaches zero. Filling the golden minecart Collector symbol to the brim with Increasing Value Cash symbols brings huge prizes that can increase to infinity.
Collecting 20 Bonus symbols of any type awards the Grand Jackpot, worth 2,500x player’s bet.
Dwarfs Fortune™ utilizes Wazdan’s Buy Feature, and for the first time allows players to choose between four levels of entering the bonus round, each with additional Bonus symbols. The game also offers other Unique Wazdan Features that allow players to adjust the product to suit their unique needs and requirements.
Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Our Hold the Jackpot collection has become a real staple of our offering over the past year, and we are so excited to be able to bring more entertainment to our players with the next instalment.
“Dwarfs Fortune™ combines easy-to-understand mechanics with a collection of innovative new features to create an entirely new, yet balanced playing experience, and we expect our players to enjoy this to no end.”

AGCO takes action to remove unapproved gambling machines from Ontario convenience stores

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is continuing its efforts to combat unregulated gambling and protect the public. As part of these efforts, the AGCO took steps this week to revoke the lottery seller registrations of a number of retailers in the GTA that were found to be offering unapproved electronic gambling machines under the Prime Slot brand.
The AGCO regulates all gambling in the province of Ontario to ensure gambling products and gaming sites are held to high standards of game integrity, player safety, and the protection of minors and vulnerable individuals.
Over the past decade, unregulated gaming machines have increasingly proliferated across North America. While they largely rely on chance like traditional slot machines, manufacturers have claimed they are games of skill and have installed terminals in convenience stores and other locations where gaming machines would otherwise be prohibited.
The AGCO will continue to take every action within its authority to protect the public against the risks that these unregulated machines pose – particularly in locations easily accessible to children and youth.
A registered lottery seller served with a Notice of Proposed Order to revoke their registration has the right to appeal the AGCO’s action within 15 days to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.
“Unapproved gambling machines have no business being in convenience stores or other locations, particularly those that are available to children and youth. ” – Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar, AGCO
Background:
Under Section 10(b) of the Gaming Control Act, the Registrar shall refuse to register an applicant as a supplier or to renew the registration of an applicant as a supplier if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the applicant will not act as a supplier in accordance with law, or with integrity, honesty, or in the public interest.
Under Section 12 of the Gaming Control Act, the Registrar may propose to suspend or to revoke a registration for any reason that would disentitle the registrant to registration or renewal of registration under section 10 if the registrant were an applicant.
