Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has partnered with 4ThePlayer to release its latest unique YG Masters creation 10x Rewind.

The title is set to blast players back to the past with the Rewind Time Win Spin mechanic, which reverses time to repeat previous wins.

To trigger this unique mechanism, three Win Spin scatter symbols must land, only appearing on reels 1, 3 and 6. Past wins are taken to a new level during this feature, boosted by an increasing win multiplier. Where previous wins do not exist, random wins will be generated.

As time reverses in the Rewind Time Win Spins feature, scatter symbols offer the possibility for players to further boost their Win Spins, awarding either an increase to the win multiplier, a cash prize, or additional Win Spins.

Fans of 4ThePlayer’s popular title 9k Yeti will enjoy this game’s Big Reel Portrait Mode which takes portrait play to another level – using up to 70% of the screen compared to the normal 20%. The mode offers players an immersive and captivating experience with a clear view of the reels and the action as they spin from top to bottom.

The game is the latest addition to the successful YG Masters offering and 4ThePlayer’s fourth title as a studio partner.

The game is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology which enables partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “10x Rewind gives fans an extremely immersive slot, both with the Rewind Time Wins feature and the Big Reel Portrait Mode.

“We are sure players will enjoy the high win rate and engaging graphics that come with this latest slot from 4ThePlayer, led by the engrossing Time Traveller character.”

Chris Ash, Founder and Business Development Director of 4ThePlayer, said: “Being a YG Masters partner has offered us a great boost as we can focus solely on developing amazing content,

With 10x Rewind we continue our momentum that has seen us develop never seen before titles that players love and keep coming back to.”

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.
