Wazdan rolls out Score the Jackpot ahead of jam-packed summer of football
Wazdan, the leading gain-focused developer, has launched Score the Jackpot versions of its player-favourite series ahead of a packed football schedule this summer.
With a whopping 83 games to take place across June and July at this year’s Euro and Copa America Championships, Wazdan has acted accordingly, revamping its leading Coins™ series with a football-themed makeover to add an extra dimension to players’ gameplay over the international football season.
Playing on the provider’s renowned Hold the Jackpot™ bonus round, Score the Jackpot will provide a football twist. Players start the bonus game with three spins, resetting each time an additional coin is secured and continuing until the board is completely full or once no further spins remain.
Wazdan also expects its football classics Kick Off and Football Mania Deluxe to catch the eye during the Euro and Copa America campaigns.
Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Just like these two much-anticipated football events, Wazdan’s series is loved by fans across the world, and this is the perfect opportunity to ensure players enjoy their favourite titles with a timely theme.
“These releases are a testament to our developers’ dedication to engineering the world’s most rewarding casino experiences and making them available to multiple audiences. We look forward to players enjoying this summer’s football alongside the innovative Score the Jackpot series.”
