Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has partnered with Reflex Gaming to travel back in time to Victorian England in its latest sci-fi slot sensation, Time Machine.

The 5×3, 243 payline hit is designed to emulate a marvellous steampunk-inspired time machine with metal-ringed symbols appearing across the game’s reels. During base gameplay, the Pay Rise mechanic is active, awarding players a free respin following any win, increasing the reel height by one for every successful respin.

If the game reels extend seven symbols high, the free spins feature is triggered. At the start of this, bonus players are given seven spins during which all 16,807 paylines are active. Players can win more spins if a 1+ symbol lands on either the first or fifth reel.

Time Machine is Reflex Gaming’s newest launch through the YG Masters program, powered by GATI, with Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling 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: “We urge players to travel in time back to the Victorian age in our engaging new hit, Time Machine.

“With increasing reels and paylines, every spin can lead to huge wins, with respins driving engagement to new heights. Our YG Masters program continues to facilitate incredible games, and this is another we’re very proud of.”

Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “Time Machine is an immersive new hit that combines anticipation and big win potential. It’s the first game where we have deployed the Pay-Rise mechanic. As a player, that means going from having 243 ways to win to having up to 16,807 ways to win. This is a very lucrative mechanic that offers players a thrilling experience.

“With steampunk and industrial influences, coupled with its futuristic soundtrack, we wanted to create a moody environment. It will appeal to sci-fi fans and players who enjoy higher volatility.”

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.
