Wazdan’s magic ‘Volatility Level’ revealed at ICE
Wednesday, February 7, 2018, Malta – Malta-based Wazdan, the major casino games producer with products covering slots, table games and video poker has attracted a steady stream of visitors to their stand at ICE Totally Gaming 2018 thanks in no small part to the announcement on the cusp of ICE that the company has been awarded a UK license and with a little magic has made available to celebrate on their stand a range of ‘Volatility Beers’ created in conjunction with passionate British brewers, that highlight Wazdan’s world’s-first ‘Volatility Level’. Wazdan is now licensed in the UK, Malta and Curacao.
The magic doesn’t stop there. Wazdan has a series of magic games that are proving to be very popular with operators, platforms, aggregators and affiliates such as Great Book of Magic Deluxe, Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe, Magic Hot 4 Deluxe, Magic Stars 3, Magic of the Ring Deluxe, Magic Target Deluxe and Magic Fruits Deluxe games that take the magic arts into immersive experiences for players across Wazdan’s portfolio of over 100 engaging and innovative HTML 5.0 slots that can be enjoyed on mobile, desktop and tablets.
The latest version is Great Book of Magic Deluxe, a popular slot filled with spells written down on its pages that invigorate 5 reels and 20 paylines to win amazing prizes. Great Book of Magic Deluxe has just about everything for a top performing video slot; players are immersed in spells cast by a wily wizard whose magic creates free spins while Wazdan’s Unique Features, Volatility Level, Energy-Saving Mode, Double-Screen and Unique Gamble Feature enhance the newly released Deluxe game for operators and players alike.
Wizards, castles, owls, cobras and old books abound. The old magic book is the most important symbol in Great Book of Magic Deluxe. It not only awards scattered prizes when at least three symbols appear anywhere on the reels, but it also triggers 10 Free Spins if at least three symbols appear on the reels. That’s not all! This symbol is also ‘Wild’ and can replace all other symbols on the reels both in the main game and in the Free-spins mode.
Importantly Great Book of Magic Deluxe is available in three different Volatility levels. Wazdan’s Volatility Level lets players set to a low variance where the game has frequent but smaller wins in Low Volatility or fewer although bigger wins with the High Volatility setting. Leaving the setting at ‘Normal’ Great Book of Magic Deluxe reverts to its standard volatility.
Wazdan has ushered in a new era in the development of slots games through Wazdan Unique Features, which gives players more control over the outcome. This breakthrough is based on Wazdan’s legacy of innovation as well as an advanced development lab that produces outstanding research into slots technology. At the heart of slots gameplay is the concept of slot variance, or as Wazdan call it ‘Volatility Level’, that is fundamental to how a slot game ‘feels’ to play. Slot volatility is a measure of risk associated with playing a slot machine.
Jeremy Fall, Head of Brand and Marketing said, “We’re overwhelmed with the response to our UK license and the British Volatility Beers we’ve been offering on the stand to our partners, customers, affiliates and those who can now do business with us because we have our licensing right. Our series of magic games are very casino-friendly and the Wazdan ICE Hosting Team have really enjoyed handing out the Volatility Beers and explaining the benefits of Volatility Level, it’s an industry breakthrough that brings benefits for players and operators alike.”
Wazdan’s games are powered by their innovative suite of added-value tools, Volatility Level, Double Screen Mode, Unique Gamble Feature and Energy Saving Mode, which provide operators with the ability to activate multiple features designed to enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce higher yield.

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
