Wazdan, the leading casino games supplier, is back to deliver another extraordinary magical adventure in their new release, Magic Spins™.

The latest Wazdan creation is destined to engage players with its advanced mechanics and seemingly endless bonus features, joining the recently released Dwarfs Fortune™ in the supplier’s renowned Hold the Jackpot collection.

Enchanting players with stunning design and innovative mathematics that Wazdan’s titles are renowned for, the new release boosts player engagement with Sticky Special Bonus symbols that increase players’ chances of triggering the bonus round.

Landing a minimum of six Bonus symbols of any type takes players to the mysterious Hold the Jackpot round with a unique reel setup. During the bonus mode, Cash symbols appear on the smallest reels and award prizes worth up to 5x player’s bet. Endless fun arrives in the form of Collector, Jackpot, Mystery, and Increasing Value Cash symbols appearing on the four big corner reels, as well as Mega Collector, Magic Mystery, and Mega Increasing Value Cash symbols that can only land on the mega central reel.

Magic Spins™ introduces the supplier’s new exceptional Collect to Infinity™ mechanism, which allows Collector and Mega Collector symbols to collect Cash symbols’ values throughout the entire Hold the Jackpot bonus round.

Increasing Value Cash symbols and Mega Increasing Value Cash symbols award prizes worth up to 7x and 10x player’s bet respectively and their values increase with every re-spin up to a maximum of 10 times.

Players can also land Jackpot symbols, Mystery symbols, and the new Magic Mystery symbol, which gives them a chance to win the Magic Jackpot.

When players reach the end of the bonus game, they are paid the sum of the Bonus symbol values they accumulate, including Mini, Minor, Major, and Magic Jackpots. The Grand Jackpot, awarded for collecting 29 Bonus symbols, is the maximum prize up for grabs, awarding a staggering 2,500x player’s stake.

The game also offers a selection of customisable features, such as adjustable Volatility Levels™, allowing players to take full control over their experience and modify the game to suit their requirements. With the Buy Feature they can enter the bonus round at any time and choose one of four bonus entry levels for additional rewards.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Our latest release, Magic Spins™, blends our pioneering maths models with unique mechanics in an experience that is destined to engage more players than ever before.

“With such a comprehensive collection of Bonus symbols on offer and the new Collect to Infinity™ feature, players have the possibility of triggering seemingly endless combinations and outcomes, adding to the entertainment value.”

Modernization adds Momentum ecosystem tools and rolls out new terminals and self-service machines to 1,000+ retailers statewide.

Scientific Games has completed a technology systems conversion for the New Mexico Lottery, modernizing lottery operations with a new gaming system and rolling out retail technology to more than 1,000 locations across the state. The update went live May 11, 2026, according to the company.

Scientific Games said the new system now powers the Lottery’s draw-based and Scratchers’ sales and is designed to simplify product management for retailers.

“The New Mexico Lottery is officially live with new, modern technology systems that work together to enhance all aspects of our operations and ensure we are well-positioned for our next era of growth,” said David Barden, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery. “We’ve strategically planned every step of this holistic modernization effort with Scientific Games to intelligently operate our retail network, making our Scratchers games easier for retailers to manage in their stores and easily accessible to our valued players.”

Scientific Games said the conversion was developed over the past year and is built on its Momentum ecosystem. Components cited include an advanced central gaming system, the SciTrak instant game distribution system, the gem | intelligence retailer licensing and management portal and the INFUSE business intelligence platform. The company said WAVE clerk-operated terminals and PlayCentral self-service machines will be deployed to retailers in planned phases.

“Congratulations to the New Mexico Lottery for building upon our long-standing instant scratch game partnership, embracing innovation for the future,” said John Schulz, President of Americas & Global Instant Products for Scientific Games. “We are proud to serve as the Lottery’s full-line partner and help drive maximum proceeds for New Mexico college students.”
