Blueprint Gaming™ reignites the prehistoric fun in its latest major branded IP release, The Flintstones™ Bedrock Riches, led by two lavish bonus games and an intriguing base play trail.

In an exciting twist, players are actively involved in the additional bonus mode where they must choose from an array of coins to receive rewards, helping Fred and Barney race through the Speed Trail to Bedrock’s Bowling Alley.

Cash Prize, Speed Up, Double Speed Up, Triple Speed Up and Jackpot, rising to 1,000x, are rewards on offer throughout Bedrock Riches, with players also guaranteed the additional benefit of a higher average win percentage throughout.

Landing three scatter symbols holds the key to the Cash Spins bonus where a range of new special icons are also on show, including Wilma symbols that adds a random cash prize to any active row and Dino, which boosts one or more cash prize symbols in view for every spin until the end of the feature.

The beloved Yabba Dabba Doo feature also marks a welcome return with a stylish revamp. Triggered at random during any spin, either Bonus Boosts are awarded, where additional scatters are added to the reels, or Bedrock Bowl Wilds, where additional wilds will appear.

Blueprint Gaming’s Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events, said: “Our original Flintstones™ offering took Blueprint Gaming’s stellar branded library of slots to new heights, and The Flintstones™ Bedrock Riches ensures we maintain an enriched IP-led, Yabba Dabba Doo experience.

Thrilling sequel from slot studio features enlarged reelset and bountiful bonus game

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, welcomes the return of its mischievous trickster in Super Pink Joker: Hold and Win, who features as a Wild during base play before shapeshifting into a lavish Multiplier for the renowned Hold and Win Bonus.

Set in a dazzling pink world full of energy, the release cranks up the heat with dynamic animations and upbeat audio, with the jester taking his place on the enlarged 5×3 grid alongside electrified coins and cartoon-style fruits.

Six or more Bonus symbols, or their combination with Collect icons, pave the way to the title’s showstopper Bonus Game where three re-spins are initially granted and only Bonus, Collect and Joker Multiplier symbols feature.

In an intriguing twist to bonus play, whenever a Joker lands it leaves behind a Multiplier value in its place that can reach up to 10x. Boosting the chance of lavish returns, whenever a Bonus icon lands in a cell alongside a Multiplier, the Bonus symbol also benefits from the Multiplier value.

With Multipliers remaining stuck throughout the Bonus Game, if a new Multiplier lands in the same position as a previous, the latter one sees its value increase.

The Pile of Gold feature also marks its welcome return, which is randomly triggered by any Bonus symbol landing on the reels during the Main Game. When activated, Bonus and Collect icons are added in quantity enough or more to activate the Bonus Game.

Collecting lightning bolt symbols in combination with any Bonus symbol triggers the player-favourite Collect Feature, in which all values of Bonus symbols are added to the winnings for the spin in the Main Game, or total win in the Bonus Game.

Jackpot seekers also benefit from the game’s four fixed Jackpots, with fortunate players who fill the grid in its entirety during the Bonus Game scoring the Grand Jackpot that stands at 5,000x.
