Live 5 is taking players on an Egyptian adventure like no other in its latest slot release, Sheba Lightning LinesTM. Those that dare to explore the hidden tombs are rewarded with potential riches with a max win potential of 4,000x.

Sheba Lightning Lines is set across 5×4 reels with 20 paylines. Players are helped in their quest for treasure by Expanding Wilds, Free Spins, Prize Wheels and Live 5’s thrilling Lightning Lines mechanic.

This electrifying feature allows players to choose one to four of the horizontal win lines to become a Lightning Line – any three, four or five-of-a-kind horizontal wins on a selected line trigger a wheel with Multipliers and Free Spins up for grabs. Each additional line selected increases the overall stake by 50% of the base stake.

Free Spins can also be triggered from the base game, landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters in view triggers 8, 12 or 16 free games.

If that wasn’t enough, any expanding Sheba Wild becomes sticky for the remaining Free Spins, which increases the potential to trigger Lightning Lines and multiple Prize Wheels the more horizontal winning symbols, the bigger the prizes on the wheels with a single max Multiplier of 100x to be discovered by the most determined explorers.

Sheba Lightning Lines comes with a range of return-to-player settings, from 92% to 94%, and sits at the higher end of the volatility scale so that players really do feel the excitement and anticipation of venturing deep into ancient ruins in search of the treasures hidden within.

As with all Live 5 slots, the game is available in 30+ languages and has been certified for launch in key markets including the UK, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Denmark and all Malta Jurisdictions.

Lloyd Butler, CEO at Live 5, said: “The Egyptian theme is incredibly popular with players in core global markets but with Sheba Lightning Lines we have given it a unique twist that means players will want to explore what it has to offer.

“Our Lightning Lines mechanic has proved to be a big hit on other titles, adding another layer of excitement to the base game. Of course, the chance of Free Spins, Multipliers and Prize Wheels landing will ensure anticipation builds with each spin.

“Sheba Lightning Lines is a great addition to our portfolio, and we are looking forward to seeing players at our partner brands journey to the Egyptian desert in search of the riches hidden within the game.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
