Blueprint Gaming release of The Flintstones

Prehistoric fun awaits in Blueprint Gaming’s new game release, The Flintstones, further cementing the developer’s position as one of the leading producers of online casino content inspired by globally recognised entertainment brands. 

Blueprint Gaming is a long-standing supplier to the casino industry, a UK-based software provider known for developing standout content across several different pokies genres, as well as creating innovative and popular game mechanics.

Within its library of award-winning casino games, you will discover a treasure trove of games that carefully bring some of the most popular entertainment IPs into online casinos while respectfully preserving the magic that is so loved by fans of the original art. 

The Flintstones slot showcases Blueprint’s ability to transform cinema and television classics into engaging slot game content while maintaining the nostalgic feeling that attracts players to these games.

With game series like The Goonies, Ted, and Rick and Morty already proven successes from the Blueprint archives, let’s find out what’s in store for fans from this latest release. 

The Flintstones slot machine

The Flintstones slot machine is played on a classic 5×3 reel formation with ten fixed paylines, medium to high volatility gameplay, and a top prize of 10,000 times your bet up for grabs. 

The game is based on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, which aired in the first half of 1960 and enjoyed much success and accolades. The award-winning series is set in the prehistoric town of Bedrock and follows the calamitous lives of Fred and Wilma Flintstone and their long-suffering neighbours Barney and Betty Rubble.

The series inspired a franchise of movies, subsequent TV series, theme parks, theatre shows, toys, games and heaps more. Yet, despite these many offshoots, Blueprint’s slot remains true to the original cartoon. Players will recognise the faces of the key characters and the vibrant graphic style from the Hanna-Barbera classic. 

The Flintstones features and bonus games

As with most modern online pokies, half the excitement is in the bonus features of this thrilling new title. Players want to know what to expect from the provider’s innovative game studio. So, let’s dive in and discover what’s on offer in this exciting new Flinstones game. 

Progression trail and Fred Collect symbols

Blueprint has enjoyed much success with its innovative series of games featuring the cash collect and progression trail mechanic, where instant cash prizes can be scooped up in the base game when landed with, in this case, Fred collect symbols. 

Fred collect symbols appear on reel five only. Each time he lands, Fred will collect the values from any money bag symbols in view, which carry instant cash prizes or one of four jackpot prizes, which are awarded for collecting cash pot symbols. 

Each Fred collect symbol that lands is collected in the progression trail at the top of the reel set. As milestones are reached, additional Fred collect symbols are unlocked that perform unique actions that add new elements to your gameplay:

• Respin Fred collects any money symbols in view before awarding a respin of the first four reels and collecting any new prizes that land.
• Boost Fred collects all money symbols in view and then awards a cash boost on the final prize amount. 
• Max collect Fred upgrades all visible money symbols to the highest-value money symbol on the grid before collecting their values. 
• Super collect Fred collects any money symbols on the reels up to five times.

The game’s progression trail is persistent throughout game sessions, which means even when you close your session, when you return to the game later, your progression will be saved. Once the trail is completed, the Super Free Spins symbol becomes active on reel four, your entryway to the title’s supercharged bonus round. 

Yabba Dabba Doo! reel modifiers

Players can also brace themselves for the spontaneous Yabba Dabba Doo! reel modifiers, which can be triggered at any time, by random, when Fred and Barney appear on the screen. 

Look out for Bonus Boosts being awarded, which will add more scatter symbols to the reels to improve your chances of triggering the game’s free spins bonus, or Dino wilds that add further wild symbols to help boost your wins.  

Free spins bonus game

The Fred and Barney-themed bonus scatter symbols can only appear on reels two, three, and four. To trigger the game’s free spins bonus, you must land all three in a single base game spin.

During the bonus, Fred collect symbols will appear along a revised progression trail that is unique to the bonus and will award additional free spins and increase the win multiplier that is applied to all wins in the round. 

The more Fred collect symbols you collect during the feature, the higher your multiplier will rise and the more impressive each winning payout will become. 

Super Spins Bonus

Landing two regular Fred and Barney scatter symbols plus a super free spins scatter symbol on reel four—once you’ve activated them by completing the base game progression trail—is required to trigger the Super Spins Bonus.

You’ll get five free spins in this exhilarating bonus game, where you are guaranteed to land one of the five different Fred Collect symbols on every spin of the reels. 

Exciting times ahead for Blueprint Gaming

It’s clear the developer is excited about this latest release and is confident that fans will enjoy it as much as the rest of the series. 

Indeed, Blueprint Gaming seems sure that fans will appreciate the respect they have given to the original brand’s IP, with Jo Purvis, Blueprint’s Director of Marketing, having this to say about the release: “As with all our film and series-themed slots, the game’s artwork pays tribute to the cartoon’s iconic characters and adds an extra dimension to the in-game experience. We look forward to our players making the most of our latest release through its immersive trail and exciting bonus round.”
