It has surely been quite a busy month in a traditionally buzzing industry, especially for games supplier, Wazdan, as they announced the commencement of their partnership with Nektan whose E-lite B2B content aggregation platform will now feature Wazdan’s innovative collection of slots. This practically means that…
…more than 110 HTML5 slots has been integrated into their platform used by dozens of online casino operators.
This inclusion envelops some already popular titles such as Great Book of Magic Deluxe, Los Muertos, and some recent picks such as Space Gem and Magic Stars 5.
As already pointed out, Wazdan’s been having quite an active period with fruitful agreements such as the one with Microgaming flooding in, all with the ambition to give consumers more than they expect. The latest one has to do with “conquering Malta.” They tied knots with BetConstruct to extend to this island nation's market.
Commenting on the new partnership with Nektan, Andrzej Hyla, Wazdan’s Head of Sales says:
“We’re delighted to be integrating our games onto the E-lite platform from Nektan, which will fast-track our efforts to expand Wazdan’s global reach. The integration process with Nektan was quick, seamless and efficient. We look forward to an exciting and fruitful partnership with Nektan. “
The latest agreement will inevitably bring an even greater variety of content. As Jane Ryan, chief operating officer of B2B at Nektan comments:
“Partnering with Wazdan is an important move for us, as we continue to enhance our games offering with content from the industry’s most innovative games providers. Through its innovative approach to games development, Wazdan slots will help to diversify the games available through our content distribution platform, E-lite, and we’re sure they will appeal to our network of global operators and their players.”
Speaking of Wazdan’s “wild cards,” those are their Unique Features which are still barely paralleled in industry and that put entertainment to an upper level. Just to name a few- Ultra-Lite Mode which decreases loading time, Big Screen Mode and Gamble Feature are just some of those...
...with the most recent one being Big Screen Mode that allows players to zoom in their screens.
Chippy Software is among those who will be able to treat consumers with these Wazdan specialties.
As far as the numbers show, Nektan's revenue went up 48% year on year. As for the 6-month period (comparing January to June with July to December 2018), there was a growth of 17.6%.
The same uprising trend was noticed with EBITDA. It came in at £336,000 compared to £916,000 loss in the first half of the year. As they point out…
…this positive turnaround is down to increased efficiency and performance in growing markets.
In addition to this, a significant amount of gains also came from higher margins in their B2B division, with 10 partners live by the end of the year behind us.
