Blueprint Gaming has utilised its partnership with HungryBear Gaming to launch its debut multiplayer slot release Reel Rivals exclusively via Sky Vegas.
Tapping into the rise in popularity of social slot gaming, Blueprint Gaming has leveraged design and gamification features from HungryBear’s Slot Masters series to launch the free-to-play multiplayer title on Flutter Entertainment’s Sky Vegas platform. .
Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing & Relationships at Blueprint Gaming, commented: “We’ve always seen the potential in multiplayer gaming and particularly in Slot Masters. Seeing the concept develop to the stage where we can use our most beloved characters and brands on a major site like Sky Vegas is incredibly exciting.
“The free-to-play model is becoming increasingly popular and seeing it work in tandem with multiplayer online slots battles with player favourite slot IPs is a fantastic step forward. It complements mainstream slot provision perfectly and we’re thrilled to be involved.”
Competing against two opponents, players spin the reels on a slot using Blueprint Gaming’s established King Kong Cash brands to earn points.
While the aim of the game is to earn as many points as possible, players can land treasure chests on the reels to unlock attack and defence weapons, allowing them to steal other players’ points or defend their own points from their opponents.
Collecting points will see players climb a global leaderboard for each hourly tournament on Sky Vegas, with the winner at the end of the hour claiming 100 free spins on one of Blueprint Gaming’s slot titles.
Justin Chamberlain, CEO of HungryBear Gaming, added: “This proud collaboration with Blueprint Gaming and Sky Vegas marks a significant milestone in our journey to provide unique and engaging gaming experiences to slots players.
“It continues to drive the multiplayer genre forward and strengthens its potential to provide an exciting new future for the slots vertical.”
The announcement comes off the back of a partnership formed between Blueprint Gaming and HungryBear Gaming last year, in which Blueprint gained the ability to implement its IP into a Slot Masters release.
