NeoGames S.A (Nasdaq: NGMS) subsidiary Pariplay, the leading aggregator and content provider, has released Drop the Wilds, the first game produced by Ignite partner Spinberry, exclusively through its Fusion™ platform.

The debut online release from Spinberry, which boasts a proud history of land-based success in the UK and other markets, combines the world of bagatelle, pinball and slots to entertaining effect.

Packed with compelling features, the slot has a special Drop the Wilds feature whereby a Free Spins symbol that lands in view has a chance of activating the delivery mechanic. When the arrow lands in the green, the ball transitions around and down the table before landing on a specific number that represents a number of Wilds. Wilds randomly then transfer to the reels, wins are paid and then wilds lock in place for a free re-spin.

The game also has a Free Spins mode, with five awarded when three Free Spins symbols appear and the Drop the Wilds feature becomes active on each of those spins, meaning 10 spins of the reels in total. The game offers a Buy Feature tool that is available to players in certain markets.

A Bet Chance feature is also incorporated, which is activated when a player’s credit becomes less than the last spin stake amount.

Drop the Wilds is the first of six new games planned for release this year by Spinberry, who joined the Ignite programme earlier this year in order to create its content via Pariplay’s flexible turnkey development framework and distribute its games globally through the Fusion™ aggregation platform. The studio also has access to Pariplay’s suite of engagement tools that offer the opportunity to significantly enhance game performance.

Spinberry’s mission is to utilise its vast knowledge of the land-based sector to introduce a mix of proven concepts and innovation to online players, including immersive mechanics, constant base game engagement, and features such as Bet Chance and Feature Play Mode.

Ignite supports any coding language and allows for games to be built much quicker and with substantially lower costs, empowering game developers to reach global markets.

Callum Harris, Director of Partnerships at Pariplay, said: “Having welcomed Spinberry to the Ignite programme, we have seen first-hand how they operate and it’s no surprise to us that they have experienced such success in the land-based sector.

“To be able to exclusively launch their first-ever online slot – one of such high quality as Drop the Wilds – is a privilege. It’s a delight to be able to give studios like Spinberry a proven path to market and to support their continuing growth.”

Bill Zycinsky, Spinberry’s founder, said: “I am both thrilled and thankful to have our first online game launched and so well received. Pariplay has been a great partner and their support has been outstanding.

“With its bagatelle and classic pinball theme, Drop the Wilds has made a very strong impression with players. I have personally seen their excitement discovering all the action-packed features.

“My biggest thanks, however, go to all the people in our company. Without their hard word and dedication, Drop the Wilds would not have been the success it is.”

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.
