History
Wizard Games was launched in November 2021 as the new brand of Pariplay's in-house games studio, focusing on online slots with some blackjack and roulette titles, and its client-area link still points to Pariplay. Its releases from 2021 to mid-2022 present it as part of Aspire Global, those from mid-2022 to April 2024 as a NeoGames S.A. subsidiary, and those from June 2024 as an Aristocrat Interactive studio. In 2023 it appointed Benedict McDonagh as managing director and went live with Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in Ontario, with Atlantic Lottery in Canada and with Resorts Digital Gaming in New Jersey.
The studio says it has more than 180 games certified for over 25 regulated markets in Europe, Latin America, the USA and Canada, and its footer shows regulators including the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, Gibraltar, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, Sweden and Romania, plus BMM, GLI, Gaming Associates and ISO 27001. Its catalogue includes the Spirit of Mustang, Dragons of the North and Fisherman's Bounty series and Flamin' 7's, and its management page lists a studio team led by Head of Studio Dimitar Panteleev. Its most recent news post dates from September 2024.
