Latest slot to leave developer’s production line beautifully tackles the neon theme and combines it with an innovative Free Spins bonus feature

Live 5 is taking players to a neon jungle where fluorescent wolves glow in the latest video slot to leave its production line, Wolf 81.

The game beautifully masters the neon theme but with a unique twist. Set across four reels and with 81 ways to win, players will want to trigger the Free Spins bonus as something special awaits.

This is achieved when two or more adjacent Wolf symbols appear anywhere on the reels. This activates Respins and the unique Free Spins entry mechanic.

At this point, the player chooses which Free Spins feature to player for – Win Spins (Win every spin), Moon Spins (Cash prizes), Multiplier Spins (Progressive multiplier) or Wild Spins (Expanding wilds.)

Respins then fire into action, and players move along a trail collecting additional Free Spins along the way. If they hit the top, they will also win a Random Jackpot Multiplier (max 8,100x).

The Free Spins then play out with the previously chosen bonus with the Random Jackpot Multiplier added to the overall win, so long as it has been unlocked.

Players can play for all four Free Spins bonuses or they can find their favourite and play for that each time the bonus feature is triggered by the adjacent Wolf symbols.

Wolf 81 has medium volatility and a return to player of 95.95% – 96.35%. It is certified for launch in markets including the UK, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Malta jurisdictions and Loto Quebec.

Lloyd Butler , CEO at Live 5, said: “Wolf 81 is our take on the neon theme and I must say the design team has done a phenomenal job. This is a truly striking slot to look at.

“Of course, our talented math team has also played its part in developing glowing gameplay to match. This has been achieved through the innovative Free Spins bonus.

“By giving players the choice of four different Free Spins to play for the game becomes more engaging as players work their way through each until they find their favourite.

“We look forward to seeing Wolf 81 brighten up operator game lobbies and for players to journey down the trail and watch as the reels glow and the Free Spins and bonuses play out.”

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.
