Blueprint Gaming Launches Rapid Fire Jackpots

Blueprint Gaming, renowned for its innovative contributions to the gaming industry, has unveiled its latest jackpot system, Rapid Fire Jackpots. This new addition is designed to add more frequent and achievable wins, thus broadening the appeal of jackpot games to a wider audience.

What Are Rapid Fire Jackpots?

Rapid Fire Jackpots is a networked jackpot system that promises smaller but more frequent wins. Unlike traditional jackpot systems that focus on large, rare payouts, Rapid Fire Jackpots aims to engage players with regular, smaller prizes. This system features five progressive pots ranging from £200 to £7,500 and four fixed pots. The jackpots are designed to drop frequently, with the smallest pots potentially dropping multiple times an hour​​​​.

Key Features and Mechanics

The Rapid Fire Jackpots system is triggered by landing five Rapid Fire overlay symbols anywhere on the reels. This activates the Rapid Fire Wheel bonus game, which can award stake multiplier wins from 5x to 1,000x or one of the five progressive pots. The system was launched alongside the new slot game, King Kong Cash DJ Prime8, which includes unique features like Pump it Up and Mixmaster Free Spins​​.

Market Impact and Reception

Blueprint Gaming has a well-established reputation with its Jackpot King progressive system, which will continue to coexist with Rapid Fire Jackpots. This new system is not intended to replace the 2019-launched jackpot pot but to complement it by addressing a different player demographic—those who prefer frequent, smaller wins over the anticipation of a large, rare jackpot. This move is based on extensive research into player trends and market demands​​​​.

According to James Raraty, Product Executive at Blueprint Gaming, Rapid Fire Jackpots aims to fill a gap in the market by providing more accessible wins, thus enhancing player engagement and retention. The introduction of this system is expected to resonate particularly well in the UK market and is set to expand to other regulated markets, including Sweden, the Netherlands, and Ontario​​.

Here's what Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing and Relationships at Blueprint Gaming, had to add: “This a milestone in our provision of Jackpot systems and sits perfectly alongside Jackpot King, offering an incredibly comprehensive offering for operators to choose from.

“We believe the increased frequency of drops will resonate with players and boost engagement across the board. It’s the biggest shift in Jackpot game in recent years and we’re excited to see how it performs.”

Thoughts

Blueprint enters the “must-win-by” jackpot sphere years after Red Tiger launched their Daily Jackpots and Pragmatic Play came up with their version called Drops & Wins, to name a couple of successes. While we wouldn’t call this debut particularly revolutionary, this is certainly good news for players in the UK. Blueprint’s biggest fan community and players from the markets above have access to the quick-hit jackpots at Blueprint casinos since recent release on June 27. There are more RFJ slots to follow soon: The Goonies, Rick and Morty Strike Back, Luck O’ The Irish Cash Strike, The Lost Boys, Majectic Fury MegaWays, Bigger Catch Bass Fishing, and Eagle Storm.
