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.”

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.
