Wazdan launches 9 Balls with Penalty Kick feature and 2,500x jackpot

Wazdan has launched 9 Balls, a football-themed slot that introduces a new Penalty Kick feature and includes a Champion Jackpot with a top prize of up to 2,500x.

In the base game, a Penalty Kick label can land on a random reel and stay in place for up to 15 spins. When the countdown reaches zero, any symbol on the designated reel pays out its corresponding prize.

The game also uses Wazdan’s Hold the Jackpot™ mechanic, triggered by landing three Bonus symbols across the three middle reels. The bonus round runs on nine reels with three respins, and newly landed symbols remain locked in place.

Michal Imiolek, Chief Executive Officer at Wazdan, said: “9 Balls combines the excitement of football-inspired action with engaging bonus mechanics designed to keep anticipation high throughout gameplay.

“The new Penalty Kick feature introduces a fresh layer of suspense to every spin, while the Hold the Jackpot™ round and customisable gameplay options ensure the title delivers broad appeal for players and operators alike.”
