NeoGames S.A subsidiary Wizard Games is promising to bring all the fun of Germany’s famous Oktoberfest to its upcoming release Bier Haus Riches, which features its innovative mechanic DigiDrop.

The attractive 3×1 slot, which expands to a 3×3 layout every time two Scatter symbols land, combines great beer with tantalising food and jovial music to create an inviting atmosphere. Players are invited to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to explore the tents and enjoy a frosty glass of their favourite drink.

As was the case with Wizard Games’ ground-breaking title Teddy’s Tavern, the DigiDrop mechanic does away with standard paylines and ways. Instead, a set of unique symbols featuring numbers drop across the reels to create an easy-to-understand multiplier. For example, if the player lands a 0, 5 and 4 combination, they pick up 54x their stake. Should they land a 10, 9 and 0, then that would represent a huge 1,090x prize.

The expanding reels in Bier Haus Riches offer added rows for a chance to win even more. Additionally, if a third Scatter lands on the expanded reels, it triggers the Free Spins mode for even more thrilling action. The fun does not end there, because each Scatter that lands during the Free Spins award an extra Free Spin.

In certain regions, players can progress straight to the Free Spins with the Buy Bonus. Bier Haus Riches is a medium to high volatility game, with three different levels of RTP – 88%, 94% and 96%.

Bier Haus Riches becomes the newest addition to Wizard Games’ growing portfolio, following Alice Mega Riches and Amun Ra – King of the Gods in its ever-expanding games offering.

Wizard Games delivers value-driven iGaming experiences for regulated markets around the world, combining time-tested recipes with fresh, innovative ideas. The studio’s portfolio currently includes over 120 titles certified for more than 20 regulated jurisdictions in Europe, North America and Latin America.

Joey Hurtado, Managing Director at Wizard Games, said: “Oktoberfest is a time of celebration of life’s simple joys and with Bier Haus Riches, our design team has captured that essence of fun while providing a very enjoyable and engaging slot.

“The implementation of the hit DigiDrop mechanic makes this another important release within our roadmap and we look forward to seeing how players take to it in markets all over the world.”

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.
