Senior Business Development Manager Petr Vonarshenko appears on 29 April 2026 alongside Betsson’s Janick Bonnici and KALAMBA’s Steve Cutler.
ELA Games will appear at SBC Summit Malta on Wednesday, 29 April 2026, with Senior Business Development Manager Petr Vonarshenko set to take part in a panel on the future of slot content. The session runs 15:00-15:45 CEST at the InterContinental Hotel, Malta.
The panel, part of the event’s “Product Visionaries” track, is titled Casino Product Innovation & Content: The Future of Slots. According to the company, discussion will focus on how slot design is moving beyond “traditional solo experiences” toward “socialised play,” including co-op jackpots, friend challenges and audience-influenced features.
The agenda also includes the use of data-led design to build engaged “micro-audiences,” and how “cinematic storytelling, branded crossovers, and episodic content drops” are changing slot content strategy.
Vonarshenko will be joined by Janick Bonnici, Principal Gaming Content Manager at Betsson Group, and Steve Cutler, CEO and co-founder of KALAMBA. Arjan Korstjens, Principal at the Casino Marketing Academy, will moderate the session.

Caesars
Light & Wonder rolls out TimeLink Pyramid Dawn via Lightning Box
Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) has released TimeLink Pyramid Dawn, the first title in its new TimeLink franchise from in-house studio Lightning Box, with an exclusive rollout to Caesars customers in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ontario.
The 1024-ways slot introduces a “Perceived Persistence” mechanic and a new take on Cash on Reel Respin. In the base game, Active Rings can land on reels 0 and 6 and hold for three spins. When a Scatter Train aligns with a ring, base game respins are triggered, awarding Cash Prizes on reels 1 to 5 with a random chance for wins to repeat up to nine times. Scatter Trains may also build the Time Train Meter, which triggers the TimeLink Feature when full.
During the TimeLink Feature, players start with three spins and up to five Active Rows. Scatter Trains that land in an inactive ring activate the row and reset the counter, with Cash Prizes collected and awarded at the end. Scatter Clocks can upgrade values, while Scatter Jackpot symbols unlock the Jackpot Collection, which is played once TimeLink concludes.
The Jackpot Collection includes fixed and progressive prizes, with Mega, Grand and Major operating as progressive jackpots and Mini and Minor as fixed awards. Light & Wonder said the progressives are reseeded automatically after each win. The title also includes a Free Games feature triggered by Bonus Scatters, awarding eight Free Games with retriggers available, plus Wild 2x and Wild 3x multipliers that can combine.
Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box, said: “TimeLink Pyramid Dawn is an exciting first step for this new franchise.
“We have built a mechanic that keeps momentum high across gameplay, while combining it with jackpots and features that add real commercial weight for our operator partners.”
