Blueprint Gaming is set to disrupt the jackpot market by introducing its new networked jackpot system, Rapid Fire Jackpots™, designed to offer smaller but more regularly achievable wins.

The creator of the industry’s most established progressive system, Jackpot King, is shaking up the space by introducing more frequent pot wins and thrilling sessions to accompany its revered branded and proprietary titles associated with the UK’s leading slots provider.

Landing five Rapid Fire symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Rapid Fire Wheel, which then offers stake multiplier wins ranging from 5x to 1000x or one of five progressive pots from Mini to Mega King.

With pot values between £/€250 and £/€7,500, the new system delivers achievable, frequent wins, engaging players with the very real prospect of dropping significant prizes.

Upon launch, the new system will be initially available in the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands and .com-regulated markets via direct integrations with additional regions including Ontario to come online soon.

A host of major industry operator brands are set to benefit from Rapid Fire Jackpots when it makes its debut on June 27th, with new slot King Kong Cash DJPrime8, the latest instalment of Blueprint’s hugely popular series, will see the great ape swing in to kick-start the new system.

The introduction of Rapid Fire Jackpots is designed to be a complementary offering to the industry-renowned Jackpot King progressive system with potential wins for each continuing to attract the widest possible range of slot enthusiasts.

Charlie Jacka Head of Product at Blueprint Gaming said: “Rapid Fire Jackpots is the result of our consistent research into player trends and market forces. The lower, more frequent wins it offers will fill a gap in the market and add another string to our bow, strengthening our position in several key markets.

International Game Technology PLC announced that its Italian subsidiary, IGT Lottery, obtained the European Lotteries (EL) Responsible Gaming (RG) Certification for the sixth consecutive time. Through an agreement between European Lotteries and the World Lottery Association (WLA), IGT Lottery has also obtained WLA Responsible Gaming Certification Level 4, the highest level available.

The EL RG Certification was developed to promote the adoption of RG best practices across EL membership organizations. The EL RG standards are also designed to be complementary to the WLA RG Principles and Framework, allowing companies that meet the implementation of the EL RG Standards to also achieve Level 4 certification of the WLA Framework.

“IGT Lottery achieving responsible gaming recertification by EL for the sixth consecutive time, paired with the highest level of WLA certification, showcases our status as a true global leader in sustainability. ‘Advancing Responsibility’ is vital to our success as a lottery company, and central to our sustainability strategy. We will continue to deliver innovation while operating with the highest level of integrity to protect our people, products and processes,” said Marco Tasso, IGT COO of Italian and International Sales and Operations.

IGT Lottery’s RG programme is guided by international best practices. Consistently updated to meet evolving standards, the programme operates on three macro guidelines: the promotion of a positive approach to gaming, the prevention of underage gambling and support for players who need it.

The EL RG certification was issued following an in-depth examination of IGT Lottery’s tools, activities and processes that comprise its RG programme in Italy. IGT Lottery was found to be fully in line with the international standards established by the EL, which require specific actions to protect players by the gaming operator, reaching a score of 100% for each of ten specified areas.

Americans to Legally Wager Estimated $3.1 Billion on March Madness

The American Gaming Association (AGA) estimates that Americans will legally wager $3.1 billion on the men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments this year, up from $2.7 billion in 2024. This growth underscores the expanding legal sports betting market and the growing trust in legal wagering options. 

“March Madness is one of the most exciting times in American sports, with fans fired up for both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments,” said AGA SVP of Strategic Communications Joe Maloney. “As legal wagering expands across the U.S., more fans than ever have the opportunity to bet legally and responsibly.” 

Throughout the month of March, Have A Game Plan.® Bet Responsibly.™ campaign will serve important messages to fans, encouraging responsible sports betting. The campaign promotes five key principles: 

  • Set a Budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend and stick to it. 
  • Keep it Social: Betting should be a form of entertainment shared with others. 
  • Know the Odds: Understand the games and your chances of winning. 
  • Play Legally: Use regulated, legal betting platforms.  
  • Keep Your Cool: The result of a bet – win or lose – is not an invitation to criticize players, coaches, or officials online or in-person.  

“‘Keep Your Cool,’ our newest ‘Have A Game Plan’ principle, is all about keeping betting fun and respecting the game – no matter how unpredictable March Madness becomes,” Maloney added. 

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn PASPA in 2018, legal sports betting has expanded to 38 states and Washington, D.C., offering consumers safe and regulated options to engage with their favorite sports. Americans’ support for legal sports betting continues to grow. According to the AGA’s 2024 American Attitudes Survey, 75% of Americans support legal sports wagering in their home state, and 90% view sports betting as an acceptable form of entertainment.
