Wazdan, the leading casino games supplier, is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest Hold the Jackpot slot title, Dwarfs Fortune™.

Buried deep underground in a mine coated with precious gemstones, players are invited to embark on a journey in search of untold riches, where wins are awarded for drawing five of the same symbols, anywhere on the reels. Wilds, Multipliers, and other Bonus symbols make their way across the top row of the reels in minecarts for bigger wins.

As players work their way through the mines, their goal is to reach greater depths and trigger the Hold the Jackpot bonus round that can reward them with riches as high as 2,500x their bet!

To boost their chances of triggering this lucrative bonus, players can use innovative Increasing Value Sticky Cash symbols that not only stick to the reels for up to 9 re-spins, but also increase their value with every spin.

The Hold the Jackpot bonus round is triggered by six Bonus symbols of any type, awarding players with three re-spins and the ability to reset the count each time a new symbol lands on the reels. Here, Cash and Increasing Value Cash symbols award prizes ranging from 1x to 10x, 12x, and 15x  player’s bet. What is more, Increasing Value Cash symbols increase their value with each re-spin, allowing players to discover infinite dwarven treasures hidden deep in the mines of Dwarfs Fortune™.

There are also various Special Bonus symbols available in the bonus round that will only appear on the top row of the reels, increasing the chances of triggering a big prize. These consist of Jackpot symbols that grant Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpots, Mystery symbols that can transform into any other Bonus symbol, and Dwarfs Mystery symbols that guarantee a Jackpot win.

Finally, an exciting new feature ensures that when a Collector symbol is drawn, it is assigned a random value from one to nine, and with each spin, the symbol accumulates all values from Cash and Increasing Value Cash symbols on the reels, until the countdown reaches zero. Filling the golden minecart Collector symbol to the brim with Increasing Value Cash symbols brings huge prizes that can increase to infinity.

Collecting 20 Bonus symbols of any type awards the Grand Jackpot, worth 2,500x player’s bet.

Dwarfs Fortune™ utilizes Wazdan’s Buy Feature, and for the first time allows players to choose between four levels of entering the bonus round, each with additional Bonus symbols. The game also offers other Unique Wazdan Features that allow players to adjust the product to suit their unique needs and requirements.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Our Hold the Jackpot collection has become a real staple of our offering over the past year, and we are so excited to be able to bring more entertainment to our players with the next instalment.

Dwarfs Fortune™ combines easy-to-understand mechanics with a collection of innovative new features to create an entirely new, yet balanced playing experience, and we expect our players to enjoy this to no end.”

Expanse Studios (GMGI) Obtains Croatian iGaming Certification

Expanse Studios, the B2B game development division of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has received official certification from Croatia’s Ministry of Finance for its flagship game Super Heli, with additional titles in the company’s 56-game portfolio expected to receive approval in the coming weeks for the EU member state.

The certification marks a strategic entry into a market that generated US$484.70m in 2024, with projected growth at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2024-2030. Super Heli, Expanse’s most popular crash-style game, becomes the first of the studio’s titles approved for the Croatian market, paving the way for broader portfolio distribution.

Tapping Into High-Growth European Market

Croatia represents a compelling opportunity for B2B gaming suppliers, with the Online Casinos segment alone projected at US$218.10m in 2024. According to iGamingToday’s latest market research, Croatia’s gambling market will reach €720.42 million by 2025, making it one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.

Among the key market benefits are:

  • Accelerating digital adoption – Internet penetration jumped from 76% in 2020 to 83% in 2023
  • Over 20.6 million tourist arrivals in 2023 following Schengen Zone entry
  • Over 500,000 Croatians expected to engage in regular online gambling by 2027

Strategic Value for the Company

The certification strengthens Expanse Studios’ European footprint at a critical juncture. With 56 proprietary titles and 500+ B2B partners globally, Expanse is expected to capture a meaningful share in the growing EU market.

“Croatia certification is more than market access—it’s validation of our content quality and compliance capabilities in demanding EU jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “With our flagship title Super Heli already approved and more games in the pipeline, we’re very excited for the opportunities this markets brings us”

Competitive Advantage in Regulated Markets

Croatia’s regulatory framework favors established, compliant B2B providers. Operators must obtain licenses requiring significant capital investment, and only licensed casino games operators who have at least one brick-and-mortar casino can offer online gambling. This creates high barriers to entry and positions certified B2B suppliers like Expanse as essential partners for operators.
