Fitzdares, the sportsbook and slots provider licensed in Ontario, has partnered with online casino game developer Wazdan to release a whole new slate of games.
Fitzdares players will now have access to Wazdan’s titles through Light and Wonder aggregation, led by Mighty Wild: Panther Grand Gold Edition, Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin, and 25 Coins.
“With our eyes firmly on North American expansion, our partnership with Fitzdares is a significant occasion for Wazdan as we continue to bring experiences to more players than ever before,” said Radka Bacheva, Head of Sales, Wazdan. “Wazdan and Fitzdares have shared a vision for delivering fresh content that puts users at heart.”
Fitzdares will also tap into Wazdan’s immersive in-game innovations, such as Hold the Jackpot, Chance Level, and Stick to Infinity mechanics.
Fitzdares went live in Ontario in February 2023, the first time the UK-based operator launched outside its home base, with a launch party around the Super Bowl that year, a sign of how seriously they were taking the market.
The name of the game in Ontario is casino. According to the 2023-24 fiscal year report, there was a 78 percent increase in total wagers ($63 billion) and casinos (games include slots, live and computer-based table games and peer-to-peer bingo) led the charge.
Casinos saw a total of $51.7 billion in wagers ($14.6 billion in Q4), an 88% increase over 2022-23, followed by sports betting ($9.7 billion over the fiscal year, a 39% increase over FY 22-23, with $2.7 billion in Q4) and player to player (P2P) poker ($1.6 billion, a 64% increase over FY 22-23, with $446 million in Q4).
