Real Dealer Studios, the producer of unique online casino games that combine striking recorded video with cutting-edge RNG gameplay, has added another tier-one brand to its growing roster of operator partners by joining forces with Videoslots.

Under the agreement, Real Dealer’s full suite of games will be made available to Videoslots players in markets such as Sweden and the UK. This includes its flagship Real Roulette series, its Real Baccarat series and its upcoming money-wheel series, Fortune Finder.

Designed as an alternative to live casino, Real Dealer Studio’s games are created from high-quality recorded video clips of dealers and gameplay, which are then integrated into the random number generator gameplay to deliver a smooth and seamless experience.

The pioneering approach uses professional actors, film directors and post-production crew to deliver Hollywood levels of production value and to guarantee a flawless performance from the first round of the game to the last.

Each game takes place in a private, luxury setting to provide the player with a feeling of one-on-one interaction with the dealer, which is in stark contrast to the sometimes noisy and detached experience offered by traditional studio-based live dealer games.

Christoffer Melldén, Sales Manager at Real Dealer Studios, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Videoslots to the Real Dealer family and for their players to be able to enjoy the engaging and immersive experience our games offer.

“Real Dealer allows operators to give their players a truly authentic experience with the convenience of online play. Our games work particularly well on mobile, as they do not suffer from any lag or interruptions. We believe they will be a big hit with Videoslots players.”

William Ahlberg, Head of Commercials at Videoslots, said: “We have built a reputation for offering players the widest range of quality online casino content and Real Dealer’s titles make for a great addition to our portfolio.

“They offer a unique player experience that we believe will prove to be hugely popular among our players, especially because of the authentic and immersive casino environment they offer. This is a fantastic partnership, and we look forward to working closely with the Real Dealer team.”

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.
