Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, invites players to try their luck in an atypical new release, Piggy Bank Bills, set in a world where rich pigs are the dominant species!

The new title oozes luxury and extravagance with its grand theme and piggy-inspired bank note symbols, featuring a light soundtrack that wouldn’t be out of place in a tropical beach setting. This provides a light and exciting atmosphere for players to match banknotes and collect impressive rewards.

With 10 unique banknotes featuring on the reels, players are tasked with matching two halves by landing them next to each other, which results in a bill forming and a huge payout!

This unique style of matching the reels to complete the bank note is just another example of the creativity and innovation Pragmatic Play delivers in every game.

The game’s Wild symbol helps to generate more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols, and can pair with a bill, resulting in the value shown being paid out.

There are also three randomly triggered Piggy features in the base game: Piggy Win, which can turn two or more losing combinations into winners, Piggy Bonus, where players are offered the Free Spins feature and Piggy Wilds, which randomly places up to four Wilds on the reels.

Piggy Bank Bills, Starlight Princess, residing among a collection of over 200 HTML5 titles in Pragmatic Play’s award-winning games portfolio.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “We’ve released our fair share of money-inspired slots over the years, but none of them are quite like Piggy Bank Bills.

“The innovation that has occurred behind the scenes to facilitate the creation of a truly original slot design has never been seen before, and we expect it to go down our treat with our audiences.”

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.
