Blueprint

Blueprint Gaming has over two decades of experience as one of the UK’s leading iGaming software providers. In that time, they have established themselves on the world stage by offering hundreds of slot games playable on desktop and mobile.

As part of the internationally operated Merkur Group, Blueprint Gaming still releases new slots featuring new and established IPs. Read their full story below, where we’ve also gathered some of their most popular games.

History

Blueprint Gaming was founded in 2001, where they initially created physical slot machines for land-based casinos. That changed after they were acquired by the prestigious Gauselmann Group (now the Merkur Group) in 2008. Just one year later, they released their first online slot – Viz, based on the old British magazine. Since 2009, they have padded out their library of slot games while steadily becoming one of the UK’s leading iGaming brands.

Like all successful ventures, this led them to form partnerships with established brands like Videoslots in 2016 while seeking to acquire British talent. In 2018, they licensed the use of Megaways features, adding this mechanic to many of their iconic titles. Since 2019, they have made several acquisitions of developers like Project Coin Limited and Livewire Gaming, in some cases adapting their real-world slot titles for the online market.

Popular Games

Blueprint Gaming has published over 200 slots in its time, with most of those titles belonging to new IPs involving popular iGaming themes. Much like their first-ever online slot, they have also created games inspired by well-known, trademarked IPs like Deal or No Deal.

You can find some of Blueprint’s most popular slot experiences described below:

• Fishin’ Frenzy: The iconic fishing slot where players try for the big catch —  a collection symbol that snaps up any fish in sight.
• Eye of Horus: This equally iconic title takes players to Ancient Egypt where towering stacked wilds await them.
• The Goonies: A slot based on the 1985 adventure movie, where players must also find One-Eyed Willy’s treasure.
• Buffalo Rising Megaways: Set in the Great Plains, this slot is full of American wildlife and sunset mystery symbols that hide free spins.
• Diamond Mine Megaways: Players dig for the most valuable gem of all in Blueprint’s first ever Megaways slot.
• Genie Jackpots: An Arabian themed slot with a ‘find the genie’ minigame that awards more prizes during bonus wins.

Innovations and Awards

Most of Blueprint Gaming’s awards were given to individual slots. The Goonies won the Gaming Intelligence Awards in 2019, while Eye of Horus came second in SlotCatalog’s Top 10 Best Slot Games for 2019. That year, Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways was also in the top ten.

As for innovations, Blueprint consistently reinvents their slots to add new mechanics. This is best seen with subtitles like Jackpot King, Prize Lines, and Rapid Fire Jackpots, which are all different variants that change how their games are played. They also have a sister company, Blueprint Operations, which still supports the world’s real-world slot machines.

Conclusion

That’s everything you should know about Blueprint Gaming, a talented slots-only developer with an international audience. They’re responsible for some of iGaming’s classic titles, not to mention slots using established IPs, and they’re still releasing games to this day.
