- Wazdan has launched four slot titles on FanDuel Casino across Ontario and Michigan via Light & Wonder’s aggregation platform, marking the developer’s latest North American regulated market expansion.
Wazdan, the gain-focused developer, has continued to reinforce its impressive North American presence through a partnership with FanDuel, one of the region’s leading iGaming companies.
The agreement marks a significant step for Wazdan’s ongoing global expansion, which sees FanDuel launch with two feature-rich titles simultaneously across Ontario and Michigan, facilitated by Light & Wonder’s aggregation platform.
In Ontario, players can enjoy Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin and 36 Coins, two titles that showcase Wazdan’s signature balance of recognisable themes and performance-driven mechanics. Meanwhile, in Michigan, 12 Bells and Hot Slot: 777 Crown will introduce players to engaging gameplay structures built around clarity, rhythm and feature depth.
Following the initial rollout, FanDuel’s renowned iGaming platform, FanDuel Casino, is set to see its portfolio enriched by an extensive flurry of additional slot offerings, with each carefully chosen game featuring a range of Wazdan’s engagement-boosting mechanics such as Cash Infinity™, Hold the Jackpot and Sticky to Infinity™, with each designed to elevate entertainment and deliver measurable growth for operators.
The latest expansion builds on Wazdan’s momentum in North America, following successful deployments in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and earlier entries into West Virginia.
Radka Bacheva, Head of Sales at Wazdan, said:
“Partnering with FanDuel represents a major milestone in Wazdan’s North American growth strategy and underlines the strong demand for our engagement-driven portfolio across regulated markets.
FanDuel’s reach and reputation make them an ideal partner, and launching simultaneously in Ontario and Michigan is a powerful way to introduce our games to new audiences. We are confident that our feature-rich titles and proven mechanics will resonate strongly with players and deliver tangible value for FanDuel as we continue to scale our presence across the region.”
Editorial Commentary
The FanDuel deal gives Wazdan distribution reach it would be difficult to replicate through smaller operator relationships. FanDuel Casino is among the highest-traffic regulated iGaming platforms in North America, and the dual-market launch across Ontario and Michigan signals that Wazdan is prioritising depth of presence in established regulated states alongside new openings. The use of Light & Wonder’s aggregation infrastructure also reduces the integration overhead for future title additions, which aligns with the pipeline of mechanics — Cash Infinity™, Hold the Jackpot, Sticky to Infinity™ — already flagged for the expanded rollout.
Ontario’s market has grown sharply, with iGaming revenue reaching C$4bn in 2025, up 34% year-on-year — a trajectory that makes it an increasingly attractive entry point for European game studios. FanDuel’s recent marketing leadership appointment suggests the operator is investing in sustained platform growth, which could benefit content partners early in the relationship. For Wazdan, the next measure of this partnership’s progress will be the pace of the additional titles pipeline and whether penetration extends further into the remaining regulated US states.
