Road sign saying

The online casino industry in Pennsylvania seems to grow in every way imaginable. This time, Wazdan, a game manufacturer, is bringing its slot titles to the Keystone State for the first time via a partnership with Rush Street Interactive, the parent company of BetRivers.

Wazdan offers some of the industry’s most popular slots and PA online casino players get to benefit from the new partnership.

BetRivers Casino PA is one of the RSI products that get to offer new games for players, keeping its library fresh and up-to-date.

Wazdan enters PA market as newest games manufacturer

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board confirmed to PlayPennsylvania that Wazdan applied to operate the Keystone State on Jan. 25, 2023 and gained authorization last month, on Aug. 16. It look nearly three weeks for the game manufacturer to launch in Pennsylvania.

After more than a year-and-a-half, the wait appears well worth it. Some of Wazdan’s top-performing slots include:

  • 9 Coins: Grand Gold Edition
  • Magic Spins
  • Hot Slot
  • 777 Crown

Some of the mechanics of the game include features such as Cash Infinity, Hold the Jackpot, and Sticky to Infinity, which can increase bonuses during play.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said in a press release on Thursday:

“Our entry into Pennsylvania with Rush Street Interactive is a major milestone for us, and we’re excited to see our innovative games reach a new audience.

“Our commitment to delivering high-quality, engaging content continues to resonate with players in North America, and we look forward to bringing even more thrilling experiences to online gaming enthusiasts in Pennsylvania.”

Wazdan also went live in New Jersey, proving it is expanding in the North American market.

RSI adds new games as it reshapes loyalty program

BetRivers had already offered more than 1,000 slots to customers. In addition, Wazdan games are also going to be available on RSI’s PlaySugarHouse Casino PA, which also supplies over 1,000 slot titles.

The vast amount of options has contributed to putting RSI products in the top three in Pennsylvania, according to an earnings presentation. That has Richard Schwartz, RSI CEO, excited for what’s to come, especially with Wazdan.

“As we enjoy bringing firsts to our players, we are thrilled to debut Wazdan’s exceptional games to our customers in Pennsylvania,” he said.

“Wazdan’s reputation for creating engaging and entertaining content is well known, and we are confident that our BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse players will enjoy its diverse selection of games.”

The partnership news comes on the heels of a revamped loyalty program, as PlayMichigan reported. There is a new tiered system, including GoldPlatinum, and Black levels, that can result in complimentary cruises, luxury gifts, vacation packages, and more.

Players can accumulate points by playing table games, video poker and slots, which now include Wazdan’s. RSI is making BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse strong operators in the Keystone State.
