Wazdan set to make Czech Republic bow
Wazdan has further boosted its global footprint after entering the regulated iGaming market in the Czech Republic. It marks the seventh market entered by the supplier in 2022, following Bulgaria, Ontario, Michigan, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands as Wazdan continues to focus its growth on key regulated jurisdictions.
A total of 46 of the provider’s titles will go live in the market, including the hugely popular 9 Lions, Fortune Reels, Hot Slot: 777 Crown, Power of Gods: Hades, and Sun of Fortune.
