Blueprint Gaming’s mystical and mighty Genie is back to make free spin dreams come true in the feature-packed Genie Jackpots Big Spin Frenzy.

One of Blueprint’s most successful and popular game franchises ever, the latest Genie Jackpots challenges players to gain entry to the loot-filled Cave of Wonder where the free spins of the game’s title offer riches of up to 50,000x the bet.

Three or more Bonus Symbols award the Free Spins round where any Genie that lands in view is wild and pays a win for every gold coin that lands in view on the same spin.

Collecting four Genie symbols during the bonus round activates the Lock & Load feature, which adds 10 free spins and triggers a re-spin for every subsequent Genie landed. The more Genies accrued, the more levels the player ascends with eight awarding 10 spins and Win Boost, which increases the value of each symbol that led to the win.

Hitting 12 of the regally-robed purple hero bestows the Big Spin Frenzy. Here, all previous features are activated and the amount from the winning spin is awarded five times in a row.

Genie Jackpots Big Spin Frenzy follows the hugely successful Wishmaker iteration in one of the most recognisable non-branded franchises in the slots industry.

Jo Purvis, Director of Key Accounts and Marketing at Blueprint Gaming, said: “The Genie has returned and he’s bigger and feeling more generous than ever. His home in the loot-filled Cave of Wonder is the perfect place for any player new or old to treasure hunt in the Arabian sands.

“While the character is back along with his familiar symbols, the Free Spins round has seen a rub of our developer’s lamp as have the visuals. The improved graphics are befitting of a modern slot but maintain the core characteristics of the original that proved so popular with players.”

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.
