4ThePlayer have put players firmly in the driving seat for the ride of their life in fast-paced new release 60 Second Heist™. Released via YG Masters.

This ground-breaking 5-reel, 1,204-way slot boasts a revolutionary Win Time Free Spins bonus that sees players receive 60 thrilling seconds of free spins. This race against the clock can be extended by landing Extra Time symbols anywhere on the reels.

In addition to more drive time, landing Boost scatter symbols will force the reels to spin faster earning speed freaks even more cash as the clock counts down. If that wasn’t enough there is an ever-increasing multiplier!

During base gameplay, a Turbo Lock Respin Feature may trigger at any time. This sees winning symbols lock in place. All other reel positions will respin and any new winning symbols will lock as well. This continues for five seconds, after which the final win will be awarded.

Activate Bonus Bet and finetune your chance of triggering Win Time Free Spins, using a simple slider – play the game how you want to play!

Part of the YG Masters portfolio, 60 Second Heist™ is powered by GATI, 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 & Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “60 Second Heist™ offers players something completely different to anything else on the market right now, and for that reason alone we anticipate that this slot is going to be incredibly well received.

“There’s been so much innovation around game mechanics and bonus features over the last few years, but we’ve never really seen anyone tackle free spins in such a way until now.”

Chris Ash, Founder and Business Development Director at 4ThePlayer, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to introduce players to 60 Second Heist™ as it’s without a doubt our most exciting high-octane slot to-date.

“This tile offers an unrivalled experience, and we truly believe that we’ve created something special with the help of Yggdrasil and their state-of-the-art GATI technology.”

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.
