Rip roaring adventure slot ‘Victoria Wild’ first game developed using ground-breaking Game Adaptation Tools & Interface (GATI) technology

Yggdrasil, the innovative online gaming solutions provider, has launched Victoria Wild in partnership with YG Masters studio TrueLab, its first game using its ground-breaking Game Adaptation Tools & Interface (GATI) technology.

Yggdrasil’s GATI, used by all its YG Masters partners, allows developers to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to create cutting edge content, followed by rapid distribution across the supplier’s entire distribution network. This then enables All YG Masters partners to rapidly scale and accelerate their global growth strategies.

Victoria Wild is a non-stop action adventure-themed 3×5 slot game with intrepid title character Victoria searching for hidden treasures in multiple locations across the unforgiving desert where Wild Tornados crash into sandstorms to create thrilling bonus rounds, Free Spins, Respins and the chance to uncover huge cash prizes.

Sandstorms can be randomly triggered at any stage during base gameplay, dropping two to six Tornado Wilds across the reels, and if one Tornado Wild collides with another, sticky Tornado re-spins are activated.

Once out of the sandstorms, Victoria cures her fatigue under the chilling splashes and soft shadows of a desert oasis. But even this is full of features including the Oasis Free Spins. Each time an Oasis symbol is dropped on the reels, the map progress increases by one. Collect 25 Oasis symbols to activate 10 Free Spins that then reveal waterfalls that fill the entire reel.

If players follow Victoria to an ancient temple, they will have the chance to open its Wheel of Desires and trigger Temple Free Spins. Collect seven or more Lamp Wilds to activate the Secret Treasury which in turn awards a single spin of the Wheel of Desire offering players the chance to unearth thousands of coins and claim big wins and hidden multipliers.

True Lab is an MGA-licensed iGaming provider within the True Flip group providing its growing network of leading brands with innovative HTML5 titles that contain unique math and gameplay.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “We are very proud to introduce the first game developed via our proprietary GATI technology and couldn’t be happier with the result. Victoria Wild is a feature-packed thriller with catchy art and multiple bonuses up for grabs. There is never a boring moment for players in this game.”

Vasily Polynov, Chief Business Development Officer, TrueLab, “This is our first game released as a YG Masters partner after joining earlier this year and we are excited to now be able to show it to operators and players.

“It has been fantastic to utilise all the elements of our YG Masters partnership. With Yggdrasil’s expertise and the GATI technology allowing our games to remain compliant throughout the development process, it has been a smooth, streamlined process which means we can focus on creating the best games possible and ensuring swift speed-to-market.”

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.
