Live 5’s latest slot takes players to the heart of the Roman empire and gives them the chance to seize some treasures of their own

Live 5, the multi-channel slot developer behind some of the hottest games in operator game lobbies right now, is taking players to the heart of ancient Rome in its latest online and mobile game release, Win in Rome.

The game is now live across PokerStars Casino and Sky Vegas and will be made available network wide from 26^th February .

Win in Rome has been designed to allow players to unleash their inner Roman warrior as they battle it out to unlock some incredible wins and prizes. While they may not have the support of the entire Roman army, players are helped along the way by the game’s generous bonus features.

This includes Persistent Stacked Wilds which land at random during the base game and step down by one position on each paid spin until, like an army marching off into the distance, they are out of view. The win combinations this can lead to are sure to become legendary.

If that wasn’t enough to raise the heartbeat of even the most hardened gladiator, the Infinite Free Spins With a Random Fixed Multiplier has the potential to generate riches beyond those held by the greatest of Roman Emperors.

The feature is triggered when three Free Spins bonus symbols land anywhere on the reels. Free spins will play so long as a Wild is in view and can also be hooked up to a Multiplier (between x2 and x10), a Wild Stack (4 – 8 Wilds) or Wild Reels (1 – 3 reels Wild).

Win in Rome has been certified for launch in a wide range of markets including the UK, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Malta and with Loto Quebec and BCLC in Canada.

Lloyd Butler, CEO of Live 5, said: “Win in Rome is a highly volatile slot that will take players on a fun and action-packed adventure to the heart of the Roman empire and where they must do battle in order to unlock the riches found within the game.

“The slot boasts some incredible mechanics, in particular the Infinite Free Spins, delivering tremendous big win potential but also great entertainment value. This is a nice addition to our growing portfolio of slots and we look forward to seeing it land in operator game lobbies.”

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.
