Wazdan, the gain-focused developer, has entered the South African market through an exclusive partnership with Hollywoodbets, via Light & Wonder’s aggregation platform, further strengthening Wazdan’s position as a global provider.
Wazdan’s first move into the African continent sees the delivery of its game portfolio of simple, fast-paced titles suited to players new to online casino gaming, alongside games built around themes with strong regional resonance, including mythology and carnival culture.
As part of the Hollywoodbets rollout, players will have access to a selection of Wazdan’s top-performing games in Africa, including titles from the Coins™, Hot Slot™ and Mighty Wild™ series.
South Africa’s iGaming market is mobile-first, with 94% of players accessing casino content on mobile devices.
In a market dominated by demographics that typically have limited experience with traditional online casino mechanics, games that deliver quick, instant results have built a strong following, making Wazdan’s latest expansion set to resonate among a growing player base.
Following consistent growth across its established territories, this debut in South Africa is set to bolster Wazdan’s position as a dynamic, global industry provider.
Radka Bacheva, Head of Sales and Business Development at Wazdan, said:
“South Africa is a region with real potential, and Hollywoodbets is the right partner for our first entry into it. Its scale and understanding of local players give our games a strong platform to reach a new audience.
Africa is a priority region for Wazdan, and this launch is the first step in a wider plan to grow our presence across the continent. We look forward to building on this partnership and engaging with operators active in other African markets.”
