Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content is offering players the chance to go raiding for wins in its latest slot, Volatile Vikings.

A feature-loaded 6×5 adventure on the high seas, play takes place in two harsh environments: an icy setting for the base game, while the bonus game plays out amid broiling fires – both accompanied by an epic, theatrical soundtrack.

The Multiplier Reveal feature occurs throughout the entire game, as do cascades, increasing the wins as the player spins in search of the Free Spins round, which is triggered by landing three Bonus symbols. Six free spins are awarded, and every additional bonus symbol grants an extra spin.

If the sum of all wins achieved in the bonus round reaches 20,000x the bet or higher, the player is awarded 20,000x bet for the whole round, ramping up the anticipation even more.

A buy feature rounds off the impressive list of in-game options in a truly unique take on the popular theme and sets Volatile Vikings up to join an illustrious and ever-growing catalogue of high-quality, engaging slots that Relax is renowned for.

Commenting on the launch, Simon Hammon, CPO at Relax Gaming said: “Our dev team has done yet another tremendous job with Volatile Vikings. They’ve taken a traditional theme and injected the kind of gameplay that really sets our titles apart.

“As its name suggests, players can expect an action-packed, high-paced experience with a pay-anywhere functionality that drives the differentiation we demand in our games. Added to the exquisite animations and evocative soundtrack, I’m sure we’ve got another winner on our hands.”

As a leading B2B supplier, Relax Gaming has established itself as a true driver of differentiation – with the provider taking home four EGR B2B awards earlier in July and two CasinoBeats Developer Awards at this summer’s summit in Malta – as well as being awarded Casino Content Supplier at the EGR Nordics in February.

Now one of the industry’s leading aggregators, Relax provides more than 2,000 online casino games – from its high performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

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.
