NetEnt has launched a new, fun-filled game introducing the cutest cat ever: Cornelius™. This brand-new video slot teleports players to a delicious, feature-packed experience right in the heart of Cornelius™’s kitchen, where the reels may rain cats and tasty treats (and instant cash prizes).

Cornelius™ enchants players with the Cash Drop feature, which is activated by at least 3 Cash Drop Scatter symbols. In the Cash Drop round of three Respins, Scatters with values of 0.25 to 3 times the bet may land on the reels, filling Cornelius™’s kitty bowl with tasty treats. On every spin, the Cash Drop Scatter symbols move one row down, awarding instant cash wins as long as they remain on the reels. If a new Scatter lands on the reels, the respins counter resets to 3.

If 3 or more Free Spins Scatter symbols land on the reels, the player is taken to the Bonus Round, where Cash Drop Scatters may be boosted by some other symbols: Up, which prevents Cash Drop Scatters from moving a row down after each spin; Golden Up, which moves Cash Drop Scatters to the top row; Adder, which adds to value of the Cash Drop Scatters; and Multiplier, which enhances the value of Cash Drop Scatters.

Sometimes Cornelius™ gets too eager to get his sticky paws on the treats to fill his bowl up to, and beyond, the brim. Therefore, the Buy Feature takes the player to the Free Spins Bonus round instantly—no need to wait for the Scatters to line up on the reels.

James Jones, Head of Business Development at Evolution, said: “Cornelius™ is a charming game featuring a kitty who worships food—we have all met at least one cat like that. Our teams have worked hard to create a casual game with a unique set of features in a fun atmosphere with attractive instant cash prizes for slots players. It is high time we let the feline out the bag!”

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29^th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.

The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.

Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:

“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”

The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.

The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.

Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
