Key features

Volatility Levels

This is something of a signature feature for Wazdan. During a game, players can change the volatility in real time, such as low, medium, or high. A lower setting means small wins come often, while a higher one makes wins rarer but bigger, changing the game’s character. This is the opposite of most providers, which fix a single volatility level for each game.

Hold the Jackpot

This bonus feature first appeared in May 2021 from Unicorn Reel. When the bonus starts, you get 3 respins, and every time a new symbol lands, the respin count resets to 3. You collect symbols or build up amounts to win jackpots, and the grand jackpot is 1,000x the bet or more depending on the game. It has been used in Clover Lady, Burning Star 3, Son of Fortune, Midnight in Tokyo, and others.

Mystery Drop

A network promotion that distributes prizes randomly across multiple operators. In 2024 alone, the prize pool exceeded 10 million euros, including a seasonal Mystery Drop worth 6 million euros.

Other Features

  • Ultra Lite Mode · Energy Saving Mode: Reduces the graphics load so games run smoothly on low-end devices and slow internet connections.
  • To Infinity Series: Features like Cash Infinity, Collect to Infinity, and Sticky to Infinity that keep the bonus going for a long time.
  • Gamble option: Lets you risk your winnings for another chance, with a variety of versions across games.

Coin series

This is one of Wazdan’s most successful series. Starting with 9 Coins, it was followed by 25 Coins and 36 Coins, and in October 2024 the format changed to “One Coin,” with just a single reel. In 2025, the Grand Platinum, Gold, and Diamond Editions followed.
