Wazdan Games Go Live Across Hero Gaming Brands


Innovative slots producer, Wazdan, proudly announces the activation of their partnership with Hero Gaming to go live across Speedy Casino, Speedy Bet, Casino Heroes, Betser, and CasiTabi.
The deal, which went live on Wednesday, sees Wazdan games available through all of five Hero Gaming brands, further expanding the ambitious slots developer’s position across the Scandinavian countries and the Japanese market.
Hero Gaming was founded in 2013 on the founders’ vision to redefine online casino and create wow experiences for their customers, making gaming more fun and engaging with features that weren’t typically found in gambling. In 2014 Casino Heroes launched in the Scandinavian countries, 2015 saw the launch of CasiTabi.com to focus on the Japanese market, then came Betser.com in late 2016, and Speedy Casino and Speedy Bet followed in 2018.
Today Hero Gaming has more than 100 employees across two offices all committed to delivering rich player experiences on each of their platforms, partnering with games producers of only the highest quality.
“We are excited to launch Wazdan games through our five Hero Gaming brands. Hero Gaming was founded with the drive to deliver experiences that are innovative and not traditionally seen in the gambling industry, and we believe that Wazdan shares these values and will help us to offer unique experiences to our players. Both organisations have been growing strong these past years, and we look forward to growing together in the years to come,” says Sven de Waard, Casino Manager at Hero Gaming.
“It’s a pleasure to partner with Hero Gaming and release Wazdan games through their key brands, Speedy Casino, Speedy Bet, Casino Heroes, Betser, and CasiTabi. This partnership further expands the reach of our games across the Scandinavian region and the Japanese market, where we are excited to develop. Hero Gaming and Wazdan share the same commitment to innovation, and this shared value makes us confident of the first class experiences we will be able to deliver through this relationship moving forward,” says Andrzej Hyla, Head of Sales at Wazdan.

Dallmeier Shortlisted for the European Casino Awards 2023

Dallmeier, an expert in video technology for casinos, has been shortlisted in two categories for the upcoming European Casino Awards 2023, its Panomera W8 360° cameras as “Best new innovative product” and Casino Automation Technology CAT as “Best table gaming product”.
The Panomera W8 is a 360° camera with 4K resolution ensuring complete 360° coverage without a “blind spot” below the camera. Six sensors are arranged in a circle, a seventh sensor covers the overall scene and an eighth sensor captures the blind spot below the camera. From these eight images, the software then stitches a complete image of the half-sphere around the camera location that has been captured without gaps. Within this overview image, multiple operators can open any number of detail areas with a mouse-click and zoom in and move around in these areas as if it was a PTZ cam.
Casino operators who use such systems report that they regularly reduce the time needed from the detection of an incident to the resolution – e.g., by catching an offender – by a factor of up to 10 or more.
Furthermore, the overall costs for monitoring the gaming floor are reduced. Although the costs per camera are higher than a PTZ system, far fewer cameras need to be installed. The resulting savings in installation, infrastructure, and maintenance as well as in operation itself outweigh the additional costs for the cameras themselves.
