In general when I tested Wazdan slot games, I noticed that they all are very high quality. How they are different than other game providers? My feeling is that Wazdan slots are more realistic than others and they are not so comic-like than for example Booming Games slots.

Also the bonus game structures are much more complicated than with other providers. But this is good that there are a lot of difference between casino game makers, as people have a different taste like in everything.

This is the Magic Stars 9, a new slot game from Wazdan published in September 2019.

Wazdan Slot Game Features

Here are some features of Wazdan slot games. The player customization options are actually quite huge. Here are also the special modes and customizations explained.

• All games are built on HTML5, which enables very good compatibility on all devices including desktop, tablets and mobile devices. HTML5 is the modern way of making slots without any need to download drivers or other software. The games work well in almost all modern browsers that just support HTML5.
• You can choose the Volatility Level in each slot to Low, Standard or High. This means you can choose how big wins and how often do you prefer. Low gives you many smaller wins – but more often. High gives you bigger wins – but more rarely. This is quite unique feature in slot games.
• Full Screen mode works quite well actually. The graphics were not softened too much in full screen and the outlook was very crisp in many slots I tested.
• Big Screen mode will make the slot reels much bigger and the buttons go as overlay buttons over the reels. This could be useful in tablets and maybe if you view your slots with bigger TV screens.
• Double Screen mode is a good option in tablets and big mobile devices. With this mode you can put the prize pool data in one screen (above) and the slot reels to another screen (below). This mode works the best if you hold the device vertically.
• You can choose the game speed with three levels: Standard, Fast and Ultra-Fast. Ultra-Fast is REALLY FAST so watch out for your game roll with that mode.
• Energy Saving mode will enable you to save your battery energy in mobile devices.
• You can customize, if you want the Big Wins to be presented the Big Way or not.
• With the 50-50 Feature you can try to double each win or take the money right away. You can do this many times if you want to double your prize after one win. You can also specify if you want to gamble the 50-50 feature with cards (guess red or black) or with a special slot themed doubling game. You can try to double your win a maximum of 7 times.
  • Switch to the card feature with option Standard / Card Gambling and to the slot themed doubling with option Advanced / Unique Gambling.

New Wazdan Slots

Here are some of the newest Wazdan slots introduced. Wazdan has really topped up it’s game recently, as these new slots are way better quality than the older slots I tested. So definitely stick to the new slots on this game provider!

1. Relic Hunters and the Book of Faith

Wazdan’s Relic Hunters and the Book of Faith is once again one more Egypt-themed pyramid treasure hunter slot game. But it does it quite well. The slot constitutes of a wide 6 x 3 game board.

The slot game interface is on average level when tested in desktop computer. I think Booming Games slots are doing a little better here with more colorful and bigger buttons that are quite self-explanatory. Still Wazdan is doing ok, but a little improvement could be done here. Switching to Big Screen mode helps a bit however.

This is the Wazdan’s new slot game Relic Hunters and the Book of Faith.

Slot game features

If you gather 3 or more Scatter symbols, you will trigger 10 free spins Bonus Game.

• In the free spins there is a random Expanding Bonus Symbol, which can be for example the symbol Q (picked in random). If the Expanding Bonus Symbol is drawn on at least 3 reels, it expands on the whole reel and pays at any position on the reels.
• Each time a Wild Symbol appears, it moves either to the left (female adventurer Wild) or to the right (Male adventurer Wild) on each spin. If the male and female adventurer Wilds merge on the reels, 3 additional Free Spins will be awarded and that Wild is removed with the next spin.

There is also 2 types of Wild symbols (with the same functionality).

In my tests I won the 10 free spins hitting 3 or more Scatter symbols.

The bonus games includes Bastet Spins and Pyramid Exploration events. Pyramid Exploration event can be triggered if you get enough special exploration symbols and fill the 2 separate meters.

• The symbol increasing the Bastet Spins Bonus meter is the Cat Statue icon with either 1, 3 or 10 gems.
• The symbol increasing the Pyramid Exploration Bonus meter is the Map and the Compass icon with either 1, 3 or 10 gems.
• The number of gems states how much the bonus bar will progress. The maximum amount is 12 counters.
• There are also bonus draining symbols: that is the Mummy symbol drains your gems with the appropriate amount of gems. If you hit 12 counters, then your bonus is locked and cannot be drained away.
• The bonus game protection symbol is the Torch symbol. That will protect your bonus bars with 10 counter amount.
• The Bastet Spins Bonus Game will be awarded when you have filled the Bastet Bonus bar and hit the Cat Statue symbol with 3 gems. The bonus game includes 5 free spins where 5 randomly-distributed Wild Symbols overlay other symbols.
• The Pyramid Exploration Bonus Game will be enabled when you have filled the Pyramid Bonus bar and hit a Compass symbol with 3 gems. The game activates a 4-level “pick and click” game where you can win multipliers, credits or icons advancing to the next level.

With the 50-50 Feature you can choose to double your winnings or take them right away. This happens through a choose a statue feature. You can do this many times if you want to double again.

2. Magic Stars 9

Wazdan’s Magic Stars 9 is a new 3 x 3 slot game with space theme with a lot of snowflake like colorful “stars”. I liked the background music, which was ambient and calming and fits well to the space theme.

The “9” to the game comes from the quite special paytable. Magic Stars 9 hasn’t got betting lines, but instead if you hit 4 or more of the same symbol, you win. As the slot board consists of 9 symbols as a maximum amount, you can win with each symbol count from four to nine symbols.

There is also a unique feature of holding the symbols. You can pick which symbols you want to keep in place for the next spin. The slot game automatically chooses the optimal holding strategy if you hit 3 or more the same symbols, but you can change it if you want.

This is the Magic Stars 9 slot game from Wazdan. Here you can also see the Holding Feature where you can hold the symbols you want for the next spin.

Stars Spins is a special feature if you get 3 Stars Spins symbols on the three middle horizontal reels. This bonus awards you 9 free spins during which the best paying Stars Spins symbols get locked automatically after appearing on any reel.

Here is the Stars Spins bonus game in Magic Stars 9 slot game.

Free Spins with the Infinite Multiplier is a bonus event that happens if you get 3 Free Spins symbols on the three middle horizontal reels. Then you will unlock 9 free spins with the Infinite Multiplier Bonus. During the bonus, a +3FS Star Symbol is active. Each time it occurs, you get 3 free spins. The initial value of the Infinite Multiplier counter is x1. Each winning spin increases the multiplier by 1.

This is the Free Spins bonus game with Infinite Multiplier. Each winning spin increases the multiplier by 1.

In overall Magic Stars 9 is a well made slot game with a different twist in the betting lines. I liked the theme and background music. Also the bonus games were interesting with 2 totally different ones. What this slot game is lacking is a little personality. Just stars that all look quite the same makes each spin a bit boring. I don’t know what should be done, but this was my feeling after a test play.

However somebody else might like this game a lot, so give a try if you feel like.

Game released: September 2019
RTP (Return to player): Unknown
Variance: Can be set to Low, Standard or High
Layout: 3 x 3
Betting lines: No, as 4 or more of the same symbols win

Here is the paytable of Magic Stars 9. Only the symbol count matters, there are no regular betting lines.

3. Butterfly Lovers

Butterfly Lovers is a new slot game from Wazgan gaming published in October 2019. Like Magic Stars 9 (slot above), Butterfly Lovers doesn’t have also any regular betting lines.

Instead only the quantity of same symbols in the board counts. The payments start if you get 8 of the same symbols going up to 16 symbols with is the maximum in the 4 x 4 slot board.

This is the regular gameplay of Butterfly Lovers slot game by Wazdan.

Also the locking function is the same. The game automatically locks the same amount of symbols for the next spin, but in this game you cant lock the symbols the way you want. Luckily the slot game makes a good choice and the locking is done the most optimal way for the player. There are also Wild Symbols in the play that can be locked also.

I tested the game with High volatility level to get bigger wins, but more rarely. Butterfly Lovers is a very well made slot game with interesting game mechanic. The gathering of Butterflies and Sack symbols is quite hard, but the rewarding Bonus Games with up to 16 free spins make up a great reward.

The graphics and animations are also really good looking. The background music is calming Japanese-styled music that fits quite well to the game. But maybe at some point it got too calm and made me a bit sleepy after a good lunch.

There are many bonus games in Butterfly Lovers. Here are all the bonus games explained.

In Liang Shanbo Bonus Spins you must chase for Blue Butterfly symbols. When you fill the 4 x 4 matrix in the left side of the reels, you will have to get 5 Blue Butterfly symbols on the reels to win the bonus spins. You have a total of 16 free spins, one for the each butterfly collected.

During the bonus spins, all Wild symbols are locked. Your prize is paid according to the collected Wild symbols. Combinations of regular symbols and locked Wilds do not get paid. The maximum prize you can win is 200x your bet if you get the maximum amount of 16x Wild symbols.

This is the Liang Shanbo Bonus Game that I activated in my tests by collecting the Blue Butterflies.

Zhu Yingtai Free Spins Bonus will activate when you collect enough Pink Butterfly symbols. When the 4 x 4 matrix is full in the right side of the reels, you will have to get 5 Pink Butterfly symbols on the reels to win the bonus spins. In this bonus game you will also get a total of 16 free spins, one for the each butterfly collected.

The value of the multiplier during the first bonus round is x1, during the second round is x2 and so on until you get to the last 16th bonus round.

And here is the Zhy Yingtai Bonus Game that can be triggered by collecting the Pink Butterflies.

Magic Sack Bonus: When a Sack symbol occurs on a reel, it will switch on a corresponding field in the Magic Sack Bonus Matrix Table. When the matrix is full, the next draw of 1 Sack symbol start the 8 Magic Sack Bonus spins, one for each Sack symbol collected.

• In the bonus spins, 5 random symbols turn into Wild symbols. A random “Sack symbol” is chosen out of J, Q, K and A. Each time a Sack symbol occurs, it turns into a Wild symbol.
• There is also a multiplier which is x1 in the beginning. The multiplier increases 1 each time a bonus round spin is having at least one Wild symbol.
• Your win is based on how many Wild symbols you can gather. You can for example 200x with a total of 16 Wilds collected with the multiplier x1. This can be even more if you can make the multiplier higher.

This is how the Magic Sack Bonus game looks like. In my game testing the Q symbol was the random symbol that turns into a Wild symbol each time it occurs on a reel. Your win is based on how many Wild symbols you can gather.

Bonus Matrix Table removing mechanism makes this bonus system a bit more complex. Each time a Sack symbol lands anywhere on the reels, if there are less than 8 active fields in the Magic Sack Bonus Matrix Table, 2-5 Blue and Pink Butterflies are removed from their matrix tables.

So in general the bonus games are a battle of collecting Butterflies. On the other hand the sack can grab the Butterflies from you, but you still progress in the Magic Sack bonus.

Please note that the collected Butterflies and Sacks are stick to the bet level you are on. So you can’t collect them with smaller bets and increase the bet when you get closer to the Bonus Games.

In overall Butterfly Lovers was a positive surprise. The slot name is a bit misleading as it doesn’t relate to the Japanese theme of the slot. But the butterfly collection is in the core of the bonus games as you must gather as much as them as you can.

The game mechanics is very interesting and Bonus Hunting the Bonus Games was fun. Also the bonus games are quite long as you get 16 free spins in the 2 bonus games and 8 in the Sack bonus game.

My recommendations to Butterfly Lovers if you are looking for something different from a slot game!

Game released: October 2019
RTP (Return to player): 96.16 %
Variance: Can be set to Low, Standard or High
Layout: 4 x 4
Betting lines: No, as 4 or more of the same symbols win

Most Popular Wazdan Slots

Here are some of the most popular Wazdan slots introduced.

1. Lucky Reels

Lucky Reels is a slot game with a classic fruit slots theme and a bit more special 6 x 3 grid layout. The general feeling is anyway quite modern with cool synthwave-style pop soundtrack and modern animated fruit symbols.

This is Lucky Reels, quite traditional 6-reel fruit slot with a modern atmosphere.

There are 6 basic symbols, Scatter symbol, Wild symbol and 4 Variable Win Multiplier symbols. If you happen to get 3 or more Scatter symbols, you will trigger a Bonus Game with free spins.

• 3 Scatter symbols will award you 15 free spins.
• 4 Scatters = 20 free spins.

This is one way to hit the Bonus Game and the free spins. Three Scatter symbols would be enough also.

This is the Wazdan’s slot game Great Book of Magic Deluxe.

There is also a Bonus Game. If you get 3 or more Scatter symbols, you will trigger 10 Bonus Free Spins. The Scatter symbol also works as a Wild symbol in the regular game.

• In the free spins, a Scatter symbol substitutes any other symbol except Bonus symbol.
• Before the free spins, a Bonus symbol is randomly selected from the regular symbols.
• The Bonus symbol may expand on the whole reel. I couldn’t find info if this is just a random event or not. But in my tests the expansion happened one time during two bonus game rounds.

This is the bonus game of Great Book of Magic Deluxe slot game. Here my bonus symbol (A) has expanded to whole reels, which happens randomly if you are lucky.

Game released: Jun 2018

3. Black Hawk Deluxe

Black Hawk Deluxe is a fantasy themed slot game with castles, skeletons and other scary fantasy creatures.

The slot board consists of 4 x 3 layout. However the 54 possible winning lines are located on the 3 x 3 section on the left and the same 3 x 3 section on the right. So the maximum combination to get a big win is only 3 times the same symbol.

There is also a Wild symbol that substitutes any other symbol.

This is the Black Hawk Deluxe slot game from Wazdan.

In my tests I found the feeling of this slot game quite good with spooky ambient soundtrack and walking skeleton animations. But the game is missing some unique features as there are no bonus games at all. But if you are looking for a basic slot game with fantasy theme, this could be a good choice. But for my taste I would pick some other game with better bonus games and more interesting game mechanic.

A positive thing is the huge amount of betting lines (54). If you happen to get a good combination of Wild symbols, the amount of individual wins can be massive.

Game released: Aug 2018
RTP (Return to player): 96.47%
Variance: Can be set to Low, Standard or High
Layout: 4 x 3
Betting lines: 54
