Wazdan has recently expanded its reach in America. Last August, the company partnered with Caesars Digital to offer products to New Jersey players. Now, the company is expanding to Pennsylvania. 

On September 5, the company announced its partnership with Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (RSI) to offer its portfolio of casino games to PlaySugarHouse and BetRivers.

Players on those platforms can now enjoy Wazdan’s portfolio of online slots and casino games.

Wazdan Expands to Pennsylvania

Key Highlights

  • Wazdan is partnering with Rush Street Interactive to offer online casino games in Pennsylvania.
  • PA partnership is the second new North American partner in a month.
  • Wazdan now operates in four regulated North American markets and over 25 worldwide.

Wazdan Signs Partnership with Rush Street Interactive in PA

On September 5, Wazdan announced its latest North American partnership.

This time, the company is joining forces with Rush Street Interactive to offer online casino games on its BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse platforms. Both platforms are partnered with Rivers Casino in Pennsylvania.

According to Play Pennsylvania, Wazdan initially applied for a license to operate in PA on January 25, 2023. However, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board took until August 16, 2024, to award a license. After granting the permit, it only took Wazdan three weeks to launch. 

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.

– Andrzej Hyla, Wazdan’s CCO

Now that Wazdan is offered on RSI sites, players can enjoy a rich catalog of games and popular features. Some of Wazdan’s most popular features include Hold the Jackpot, Cash Infinity, and Sticky to Infinity. These features offer tremendous prize potential and boost player engagement.

Andrzej Hyla, Wazdan’s CCO, spoke on the deal, stating:

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

– Richard Schwartz, RSI’s CEO

Rush Street Interactive CEO Richard Schwartz also commented:

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

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

Wazdan’s North American Expansion Continues

Wazdan has been in the news a lot lately, as they have been busy expanding in the US and Canada. The PA deal is the second such partnership in a month.

On August 21, Wazdan announced it was part of the Caesars Digital launch in New Jersey. The partnership will see Wazdan products offered through the Light & Wonder aggregation platform.

Wazdan gaming products are now available in three US states: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

New Jersey players can access Wazdan games at Caesars Palace Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook. Popular games include Power of Gods: Hades, 9 Coins Grand Gold Edition, Sizzling Eggs, and Bison Magic Spins.

New Jersey and Pennsylvania are ring-fenced markets, meaning you must be physically located in those states to play at the casinos. This is verified through your Wi-Fi connection.

To play real money games, your IP address must be a non-VPN address in the state. Otherwise, real money play is not available.

Wazdan Is Now Live in Four North American Markets

The addition of Pennsylvania to the Wazdan family means that the company is now live in four North American markets. Wazdan gaming products are now available in three US states: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. They are also available in Ontario, Canada. 

The potential to expand in the United States is limited as only six states offer legal online casinos. Michigan, Delaware, and Connecticut are the only states with legal casinos that do not host Wazdan products. 

Wazdan is currently operating in over 25 regulated markets. The company has a library of 200+ online casino games encompassing online slots, table games, video poker, and specialty games.
