Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is once again bringing the legendary Snake Arena back to life, in an epic battle between knights and a giant serpent, this time in Snake Arena Dream Drop.

Since its release in 2020, Snake Arena has proven to be a huge fan favourite, going from strength to strength with players across every market. To add to this, fans are now given the opportunity to land five Dream Drop symbols in the Jackpot Spin and enter the Dream Drop Bonus.

With Relax’s revamped version, a giant wheel listing five different jackpots will appear on the display, setting them up with the chance to add jackpot prizes to the game’s entertainment value.

The fiery 5×5, 30 fixed payline slot immerses players in a battlefield where brave knights go head-to-head with a slithering serpent, creating a high-volatility gaming experience with wins of up to 2758.8x bet.

The snake and knights represent wilds and activate the Free Spins round if both symbols land simultaneously. During the round, the snake chases the knight and grows in length at every catch until it runs into its own body, bringing the Free Spins to a halt.

Lucky players who succeed in defeating the snake are awarded the maximum win of an additional 1000x their bet.

With an RTP of 94%, Snake Arena Dream Drop is packed with innovative mechanics to ramp up the excitement levels, including the Wild Chase feature, which occurs randomly in the gameplay and triggers the battle mode, transforming the entire reel into a wild.

Commenting on the launch, Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “Snake Arena was designed from the ground up to get hearts racing and now with the addition of our innovative Dream Drop Jackpots we have made this game a truly thrilling experience.

“Our new jackpot has performed fantastically since its launch, and Snake Arena Dream Drop is feature-rich, offers immersive gameplay and is a testament to the quality in game development that Relax Gaming’s proprietary catalogue is well known for.”

Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming has been nominated in an outstanding nine categories in this year’s EGR B2B Awards, with a host of other nominations across the CasinoBeats Developer Awards.

In total, Relax provides more than 3,000 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.
