Own series and film-based games
Blueprint has two main in-house series. Fishin’ Frenzy is a series of fishing slots with many sequels. King Kong Cash is a series about a giant ape, where money symbols and banana bonuses play a key role.
The studio's other strength is games based on licences for well-known films and TV shows: The Goonies, ted, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Such games sometimes launch exclusively with a single casino first and only later become available elsewhere.
Jackpot King and Rapid Fire Jackpots
The studio has two jackpot systems of its own: Jackpot King and Rapid Fire Jackpots. Both work as add-ons to regular slots: many popular games have separate versions with the jackpot name in the title. Examples include The Goonies Megaways Rapid Fire Jackpots, Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch Rapid Fire Jackpots and Gold Strike 2 Rapid Fire Jackpots. Jackpot sizes and the conditions for winning them depend on the specific game.
For casinos, the studio offers the Blueprint Retain toolkit, which is used to give players free spins, surprise bonus modes and bonus chains.
Blueprint Gaming slots
The two newer games in this selection are built around collecting money symbols on a grid with 4,096 ways to win, while Eye of Horus is a classic 10-line slot. Volatility in the table is given on the studio's scale.
| Slot | RTP | Volatility | Grid and lines | Max win | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Goonies Quest for Treasure 3 | 90% / 92% / 93% / 94% | 4 out of 5 | 6 reels, 4,096 ways | 10,000x | 28 May 2026 |
| King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4 | 92% / 93% / 95% | 3 out of 5 | 6 reels, 4,096 ways | 10,000x | 26 June 2025 |
| Eye of Horus | 90.25% / 92.04% / 93% / 94% / 96.31% | 5 out of 5 | 10 lines | Not specified | 1 November 2017 |
The Goonies Quest for Treasure 3 continues the series based on the film The Goonies. Money symbols on all six reels are collected when a Collect symbol lands on an outer reel. Each collection moves the player along One-Eyed Willy's trail, and reaching the end of the trail unlocks new symbols and treasure chests.
There are three chests, and each gives its own upgrade for the bonus spins: the red one makes Collect symbols four positions tall, the blue one adds up to 250 mystery symbols, and the green one adds up to 250 money symbols. If all three trigger, Ultra Bonus Spins begin. In the Treasure Spins bonus, once enough symbols are collected, every cash win is multiplied by 10.
King Kong Cash Even Bigger Bananas 4 is the fourth game in the King Kong series. Money symbols are collected by a Collect symbol on the outer reels, and as you play you unlock new Kong symbols, the Win Wheel and the Banana Blitz mode. In Banana Blitz, bananas fill a pot that can award a modifier, a fixed jackpot or bonus spins.
In the King Kong Cash Spins bonus, a giant Kong appears on the reels: he collects cash prizes, while gems make him bigger and award extra spins.
Eye of Horus is an Egyptian-themed slot from 2017. The Eye of Horus symbol on reels 2 to 4 turns into an expanding wild. In free spins (up to 12 for three scatters), each such wild upgrades high-paying symbols to the next level, and Horus symbols add 1 to 5 extra free spins.
Other games from the studio include Fishin’ Frenzy, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Red Hot Catch and Kong Even Bigger Balls.
