Magic game releases from Wazdan

Wazdan, the major casino games producer with products covering slots, tablegames and video poker has worked a bit of magic by releasing two games that extend their award-winning portfoliofurther to well over 100 casino-friendly titles. Both Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe and Magic Hot 4 Deluxe are built on Wazdan’s heritage with a pedigree for producing high-quality games that are attractive to players and casinos alike.
The highlight of Magic Hot 4 Deluxe is the exciting gamble-win feature, which allows players to increase their chance of a big win in this 4-reel, 10-payline magic game set in a gloomy gothic castle perched on a hill replete with magic symbols, suggesting elements of mystery, danger, and the supernatural. Players get rich by finding a wizard in the magic reels that feature an immersive soundscape. Land 4 witches on three horizontal lines for a spell-binding prize.
Wazdan‘s energy as a game-maker continues unabated with the launch of Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe featuring 4 reels,10 paylines and various special features in this orchard filled with forbidden fruits. Additional features include special Joker symbols and a ‘Risk’ mode. Each symbol occurring on the reels of the game may have a unique small Joker symbol attached to it. If at least 3 or 4 symbols with this tiny additional emblem are caught on the winning horizontal line, players win the main prize, even if the main symbols are completely different and do not match one another.
As with the majority of Wazdan’s new releases, Magic Fruits 4 Deluxe features the extraordinary Gamble button which appears after each win. Players may double their prizes up to seven times if they decide to risk their winnings by guessing which one of two wooden fruit crates holds fresh fruit.
David Mann, Sales and Business Development Manager at Wazdan said: “With stunning visuals and effects, the players will feel the magic in the game-play for both games. Operators are also seeing the benefits of Wazdan’s Energy Saving Mode which gives players up to 40% more battery life, and is an effective retention tool. These two new titles typify what makes our casino games so enjoyable.”
Both Fruit Fiesta and Mystery Jack Deluxe are powered by Wazdan’s innovative suite of added-value tools, Volatility Level, Double Screen Mode, Unique Gamble Feature and Energy Saving Mode, which provide operators with the ability to activate multiple features designed to enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce higher yield.

Slot Machine Secrets: Can You Influence the Outcome?

Slot machines are one of the most popular casino attractions, drawing players in with their bright lights, engaging sounds, and the promise of big wins. However, many gamblers wonder if there is a way to influence the outcome or if it is purely based on chance. Let’s explore how slot machines actually work and whether any strategies can improve your chances of winning.
How Do Slot Machines Work?
At the core of every slot machine is a Random Number Generator (RNG). This program continuously generates millions of numbers per second, even when no one is playing. The moment you hit the “Spin” button, the RNG selects a number, which then determines the outcome displayed on the screen.
This means that every spin is completely independent and random. It does not matter whether the previous spins were wins or losses—each spin has an equal chance of landing a jackpot or nothing at all.
Popular Myths About Slot Machines
Despite the randomness of slot machines, many players still believe in myths that claim to boost their chances of winning. Let’s debunk some of the most common ones:
- Myth 1: “Hot” and “Cold” Machines
Some players believe that machines that haven’t paid out in a while are “due” for a big win. In reality, each spin is completely random, and no machine builds up or “stores” luck over time. - Myth 2: Playing at Certain Times Increases Wins
Many gamblers think that slots are more likely to pay out at specific times of the day or night. However, the payout system operates independently of the time, ensuring fairness at all times. - Myth 3: Special Button Combinations Can Trigger Wins
Some players believe that pressing buttons in a particular sequence can trick the machine into paying out. Unfortunately, this is not true—slot machines operate purely based on their RNG, and no physical interaction can alter the outcome.
Can You Increase Your Chances of Winning?
While you cannot directly control the outcome of slot machines, you can play smarter and maximize your experience by following these tips:
- Choose Slots with a High RTP (Return to Player) Percentage
Each slot machine has an RTP percentage, which indicates how much of the wagered money is returned to players over time. Look for machines with an RTP above 95% to improve your long-term chances. - Take Advantage of Bonuses and Free Spins
Online casinos often offer free spins and deposit bonuses that can extend your gameplay without increasing your risk. Always check promotions before you play. - Set a Budget and Stick to It
Responsible gambling is key. Always decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing, and never chase losses by making bigger bets. - Review the Paytable
Each slot machine has different payout rules and special features. Understanding which symbols trigger bonus rounds or jackpots can help you make better betting decisions.
Conclusion
The biggest secret behind slot machines is their random nature, which makes it impossible to predict or manipulate the outcome. However, by choosing the right games, utilizing casino bonuses, and playing responsibly, you can enhance your gaming experience and increase your enjoyment.
If you’re feeling lucky and ready to spin the reels, visit casino sites that offer fair and exciting slot games. Remember to play responsibly and have fun!
