Wazdan: Powering iGaming Growth with Cutting-Edge Technology
Wazdan’s Chief Technology Officer, Maciej Chyra, recently spoke with iGaming Expert about the technical strategies behind the developer’s growing portfolio of slot titles and how innovation, AI, and regulatory compliance shape their operations.
Tackling Technological Challenges
With over 250 HTML5 games in multiple markets, Wazdan faces a variety of technological hurdles. Chyra categorizes them into three main areas: energy efficiency, AI integration and employee well-being.
“Balancing high-performance technology with sustainability is a constant focus,” he said. “At the same time, we are consciously implementing AI to drive innovation, while ensuring our teams remain engaged and avoid burnout.”
Wazdan’s “Online Gaining™” philosophy guides the company in maintaining productivity and creativity even when confronted with operational challenges.
Significant Technological Changes
Over the past five years, Wazdan has seen dramatic transformations in both its infrastructure and product development. Chyra highlights notable external and internal shifts:
External: Changes such as Apple’s game bundling requirements for iOS and the Skype shutdown impacted workflows industry-wide.
Internal: Optimizing loading times across mobile devices presented challenges, but also strengthened Wazdan’s technical expertise.
Certification and Regulatory Compliance
Operating in more than 30 regulated markets brings complex certification demands.
“Regulation can be challenging, but it’s manageable with proper engineering,” Chyra explained. “Overregulation adds complexity without benefiting players. Maintaining clear communication and meeting deadlines is key.”
Wazdan ensures innovation doesn’t clash with compliance. By collaborating closely between design, development and compliance teams, new features are fine-tuned to meet regulatory requirements before certification, preserving creativity within the legal framework.
Innovation Within Boundaries
Chyra likens the approach to navigating a river: constraints define the space, but there is still ample room to explore, dive deeper, or surface for perspective. This mindset allows Wazdan to innovate while remaining fully compliant.
Game Manager: A Self-Sustaining Platform
Wazdan’s Game Manager platform exemplifies this balance. Designed for “universal versatility,” it integrates automation and self-service features to meet customer needs while supporting internal teams.
The AI-powered system curates content efficiently and maintains privacy and security standards, functioning as a companion to strengthen relationships between Wazdan, its clients, and employees.
“Our goal is to continuously deliver mutual benefits through AI, ensuring both players and teams gain from smarter, seamless interactions,” Chyra concluded.
