Wazdan refreshes its retro series with Hot Slot™: Magic Bombs
Wazdan, the leading casino games supplier, gives players the tools to trigger an explosion of wins in its brand-new feature-filled release, Hot Slot™: Magic Bombs.
Returning to the classic Hot Slot™ series with an exciting new entry, the title charms players from the offset with its vibrant, action-packed gameplay, including two innovative features that immerse them in the game’s volatile action: Collect to Infinity™ and Sticky to Infinity™.
Collect to Infinity™ is proven to increase retention rates and generate better metrics for operators. Players can land Free Spins Collector symbols that stick to the reels until the Free Spins round is triggered and increase the number of Free Spins won.
Sticky to Infinity™ is another engagement-boosting feature developed to maximise operators’ revenue. This brand-new mechanic allows players to stick Jackpot Mystery symbols to the reels until the end of the Free Spins bonus round, awarding Jackpots and explosive wins.
Both features engage players while waiting for the Free Spins feature to be activated. Once players have set their explosives and triggered up to 30 Free Spins, they can collect multiple Jackpots and land massive wins worth up to 6,000x their bet.
In addition, a Buy Feature is available to players that wish to bypass base play, and a Unique Gamble Feature can be utilised to double wins up to seven times in a row in a mini-game format. Hot Slot™: Magic Bombs features a selection of the supplier’s renowned Freedom of Choice™ suite, which features personalisation-boosting tools like Volatility Levels™, Ultra Fast Mode, and Energy Saving Mode, allowing players to take additional control over their experiences.
The new release marks the second slot in the Hot Slot™ series after the global launch of Hot Slot™: 777 Crown, with the collection soon to be extended with the addition of Hot Slot™: Magic Pearls in November.
Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “Due to the incredible reception that the first game received, we had little choice but to return to establish the start of what could be a very successful collection of old-school slot experiences.
“Hot Slot™: Magic Bombs brings some fiery action to the series with the inclusion of two of our latest engagement-boosting features, and we cannot wait to start working on the next installment in the series.”

Veikkaus’ active preparation towards the new gambling system, which will launch in 2027, continues.
As part of the new strategy, Veikkaus held change negotiations in the Betting and Online Casino operations in the autumn. The change negotiation process has now been completed. Following the change negotiations, 14 employment relationships ended and 19 Veikkaus employees underwent significant changes in their employment relationships.
“We had to make decisions that were painful from a human perspective, but they are necessary for the future of the company. I would like to thank those who will no longer be with us for their hard work,” said Business Director Jarkko Nordlund.
According to Nordlund, Veikkaus is now creating a new organizational structure that will prepare the company for the coming years.
“Digitalization is also strongly driving our industry. International competition and the pace of development are really fierce. Veikkaus has decades of fine traditions and a lot of good expertise as a company. Alongside these, we now need the kind of professionalism that will enable us to serve our customers even better and more individually.”
The company is recruiting dozens of new digital channel and betting professionals over the coming year.
“We need more expertise for Veikkaus that will make us even stronger and more competitive in the new market situation. We are also looking beyond Finland’s borders. According to current estimates, more than 30 new positions will open by next summer. We want to be strong, growing and profitable in the future,” Nordlund said.
The Parliament intends to have the new Gambling Act passed by the end of 2025. When the law comes into force, it will open up the opportunity for other gambling companies, in addition to Veikkaus, to apply for, for example, sports betting and online casino licenses in the Finnish market. According to the current estimate, other gambling companies could also start operating with a license in Finland during 2027.
Lottery games, cardboard tickets and physical slot machines will remain exclusive to Veikkaus in the future.
