Wazdan has announced a new collaboration with NorthStar Gaming Inc., marking its official expansion into the Canadian iGaming market. The partnership brings Wazdan’s award-winning slot portfolio and engagement-driven features to players in Ontario for the first time.
Expanding Access for Ontario Players
Through this new agreement, players on the NorthStar Gaming platform can now enjoy some of Wazdan’s most popular titles, including 36 Coins, Hot Slot: 777 Cash Out Grand Diamond Edition, Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin, and Mighty Wild: Panther Grand Platinum Edition.
The launch also introduces Ontario audiences to Wazdan’s signature engagement mechanics — Hold the Jackpot™, Cash Infinity™, Collect to Infinity™, Sticky to Infinity™, and Cash Out™ — all designed to increase player interaction and retention.
Strengthening a Trusted Local Brand
NorthStar Gaming, a locally founded and responsible Canadian operator powered by Playtech, is known for combining trusted regional presence with global gaming standards. The company integrates sports betting, proprietary content, and casino entertainment under one platform, reinforcing its commitment to safety and reliability.
Radka Bacheva, Wazdan’s Head of Sales and Business Development, described the collaboration as a significant milestone: “Expanding our presence in Ontario with such a locally rooted and trusted brand as NorthStar is an exciting milestone. Its strong position in the market, combined with our portfolio of rewarding experiences, ensures we can deliver measurable growth and enhanced entertainment to players nationwide.”
Dean MacNeil, NorthStar’s VP of Product, echoed this sentiment: “NorthStar is committed to giving Ontario players a safe, world-class gaming experience that blends trusted local roots with premium global content. Partnering with Wazdan brings innovative features and proven titles to our platform, strengthening our offer.”
The integration is powered by Playtech, enabling seamless access to Wazdan’s content across NorthStar’s digital platforms.
Expanding Wazdan’s Global Reach
The partnership with NorthStar follows several other major Wazdan expansions. Recently, the developer joined forces with Bally’s Interactive to distribute its slot portfolio in the UK via the Relax Gaming network. In the U.S., Wazdan launched its titles through Fanatics Casino, going live in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania earlier this year.
At the same time, Wazdan continues to broaden its global footprint, with participation in major events such as SiGMA Central Europe in Rome this November. There, the company plans to showcase its Online Gaining™ formula, a concept focused on measurable growth through engagement mechanics and network promotions.
A Strategic Move for Canadian Growth
The collaboration positions Wazdan to capitalize on Canada’s fast-developing online gambling sector, particularly in Ontario, where regulated gaming continues to attract global brands.
By aligning with NorthStar’s locally trusted platform, Wazdan aims to strengthen its foothold in the region and reinforce its reputation as a developer focused on both innovation and market responsibility.
