Wazdan Enters South Africa with Hollywoodbets Deal

Wazdan has entered the South African market after agreeing a new content deal with Hollywoodbets, bringing a selection of games from the developer’s portfolio to players in the country.

Through the agreement, Hollywoodbets will add an initial batch of 10 Wazdan titles to its platform using Light & Wonder’s aggregation technology. The launch line-up includes 9 Coins™, 9 Coins™ 1000 Edition, 9 Coins™ Grand Gold Edition, Burning Sun™, Hot Slot™: 777 Crown, Hot Slot™ Mystery Jackpot Joker, Magic Spins™, Power of Gods™: Valhalla, Power of Sun™: Svarog and Sizzling Eggs™.

The selection features several of Wazdan’s established game series alongside individual releases, reflecting the range of content the developer offers to regulated markets worldwide.

Hollywoodbets has a well-established position in South Africa’s betting and gaming industry, supported by its local presence and market experience. Partnering with the operator provides Wazdan with an entry point into the region as the company continues to expand internationally and establish relationships in regulated markets.

Our approach to expansion is centred on finding the right partners in each market and creating opportunities to bring our content to new audiences.
