Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, has launched its new Viking-inspired venture Lucky, Grace & Charm, headed by an all-female group of warriors.

The highly volatile slot takes on a stunning Norse theme and is played on a 3×5 layout, overlaying a mystic harbour filled with Viking longships. The title’s striking visuals are complemented by a stirring soundtrack and innovative features that ramp up the excitement on offer.

Winning combinations of three or more of a kind will trigger a payout, with low-value card symbols ranging from 10 to Ace, mid-value symbols represented by Bunnies and Charms, and the trio of Viking heroines embodying the highest-value symbols in the game.

Lucky, Grace & Charm contains a thrilling Hold & Spin feature and a Free Spins mode that can be retriggered an infinite number of times, utilising a fixed multiplier to increase wins.

Landing three Scatter symbols will trigger the Free Spins feature, awarding the player 12 respins in the process. The value of a winning line is tripled in this feature and will be multiplied by six if a Wild symbol appears in the winning combination.

In both the base game and Free Spins mode, landing five or more Money symbols will activate the Mega Hold and Spin feature. Here the player is given four respins, where failing to land a new Money symbol will result in losing a spin but landing one will reset the count to four.

Lucky, Grace & Charm is the latest title to join Pragmatic Play’s extensive slot offering, arriving hot on the heels of recent hits Empty the Bank, which reside amongst 200+ HTML5 titles in the provider’s award-winning games portfolio.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “We’re back with another Norse-inspired adventure, only this time, it is three female warriors at the helm of the ship!

“Lucky, Grace & Charm is packed with huge multipliers, exciting features and a variety of bonus modes to keep players entertained, and we expect the title to fare exceptionally well with our audience.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

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.
