Dur- ing 2018 alone, Wa- zdan has released 10 new games and will be focusing on hosting a range of activities on their stand at ICE, including the launch of their new 'Volatility Beers' created in con- junction with passionate British brewers that highlight Wazdan's world's-first 'Volatility Level'. Recent new game releases from Wazdan include Dracula's Cas- tle, Tetri Mania Deluxe, Fruit Fi- esta, Mystery Jack Deluxe, Book of Magic Deluxe, Magic Fruits 4 De- luxe, Magic Hot 4 Deluxe, Magic Target Deluxe, Fenix Play Deluxe and Magic Fruits Deluxe to name just a few, which join established titles such as Wild Guns and Valhalla, which are very popular with players and casinos alike. During 2017 Wazdan beefed-up their portfolio with 18 new games and 2018 continues that momen- tum. Upcoming titles include Los Muertos, Mayan Ritual and Captain Flynt, among others. Wazdan use HTML5 tech- nology which allows them to create high- quality games with impressive animations cov- ering complex themes that run seamlessly on mobile, tablets and desktops. Magic Target Deluxe is a good example of this, a 5-reel video slot that mixes the classic aesthetic of retro fruit machines with the fun and fanfare of the circus. Players use a cannon to blast their bets for a top prize of up to 500 times and winnings sometimes literally explode with a round of free spins. Fruit Mania Deluxe is a 9-reel on- line slots game packed with player entertainment that enhances the player's experience significantly including bonus rounds, free spins, instant play and autoplay. Fruit Mania Deluxe's game design includes masterful graphics that contain lotto tickets, diamonds, bronze, gold and Vegas signs. The more symbols that appear, the higher the payouts, including a win of up to 1000 times the bet. Jeremy Fall, Head of Brand and Marketing said, "We are looking forward to meeting a wide cross- section of operators, platforms, aggregators and affiliates at ICE and showing our outstanding games portfolio backed by world- class technology that includes our unique Volatility Level. The 3 beers that we have developed to- gether with Ogilvy and the care- fully selected British brewery that we are working with, mirror the Volatility Levels; so we have a Low Volatility light ale that's tangy citrus with hoppy finish; Stand- ard Volatility mild brown ale, full English hops and dry finish; as well as High Volatility strong fruity ale which has a pepper fin- ish. We chose a British brewer as we have a big British announce- ment to make at ICE!" Wazdan's games are powered by their innovative suite of added- value tools, Volatility Level, Dou- ble Screen Mode, Unique Gam- ble Feature and Energy Saving Mode, which provide operators with the ability to activate multi- ple features designed to enhance customer experience and engage- ment, improve retention, encour- age extended play and produce higher yield. For further information talk to the Wazdan Team at ICE on stand S8-202 or visit www.wazdan.com THE whole team at the Concept Stadium, a boutique marketing consultancy firm in Malta, extended their sponsorship of children's education in Kenya for the third year running, via a local sponsorship pro- gramme – 'Sponsor My Future'. Sponsor my Future enables donors to directly help children living in the Ruiru slums in Kenya. Through this program, the children are assured continual support until they complete their education or exit the program. Through the sponsorship, the team at the Concept Stadium are able to watch from a distance the deprived children receive opportunities which would otherwise be almost impossible. The extra funds pro- vided by team are going towards buying the school uniform and shoes, books and stationery, and a daily meal. Jonathan Dalli and Jonathan Chetcuti, Directors at the Concept Stadium expressed their pride towards the team for committing them- selves to the sponsorship and this great cause. "It is very emotional for us as a team when we receive a letter from the children, thanking us for our support. These are real children with real lives, not numbers coming out of your bank account and we truly believe that by helping them, not only can we help the children realise their dream of graduating one day, but it could potentially help lift themselves, and their family, out of poverty. CSR teach- es each and every one of us a big lesson on compassion", they said in a joint statement. Laura Paris, President at Sponsor My Future thanked the Concept Sta- dium for their continued support. "So many chil- dren wish and pray for a way to attend school, in order to be able to take care of themselves and their families in the fu- ture. Through sponsor- ships such as this, we are giving children the chance to be educated, no matter what age, race, dis- ability or illness," she concluded. Families sacrifice meals in order to send just one of their children to primary school, something which we take for granted. Every child deserves a chance to be educated no matter what age, race, disability or illness. Sponsor My Future allocates a child or children to each sponsor, allowing them to know exactly to whom the money is going and invites them to communicate with each other via hand-written letters. The charity also provides updates on the child's pro- gress on a regular basis. It is said that there are more than eight million children around the world spon- sored by Western benefactors, usually in the form of regular donations to a particu- lar child via a charity. Throughout the year, the Concept Stadi- um members also team up with various lo- cal stakeholders by donating their time and expertise to help others in need.
