Blueprint Gaming is ramping up its efforts to bring a new wave of innovation to the global gaming industry with the launch of a new third-party developer programme.

The new initiative, which allows independent game studios the opportunity of releasing their content through Blueprint’s RGS platform, opens the door to the marketplace and allows them to showcase new features to a wider audience through Blueprint’s operator and player network.

Slots designer BB Games is the first company taking advantage of the programme. The collaboration will see BB’s new content added to Blueprint’s portfolio and in conjunction, BB Games and Blueprint will join forces to create new slot titles for the growing marketplace.

The launch of the new programme follows Blueprint’s acquisitions of Livewire and Project, boosting its in-house design and development capabilities.

Sior Walbyoff, head of business development at Blueprint Gaming, said: “This is a really exciting new programme that will grant independent studios a huge opportunity to cut through the noise and have their content accessible to operators across the globe through our RGS.

“We’re delighted to have BB Games on board and are looking forward to working with the team to develop fun and engaging slots that incorporate features never seen before.”

Jason Bradbury, BB Games CEO, added: “To be given the chance to partner up with a supplier as renowned as Blueprint is testament to the innovation and passion that goes into every game idea we have at BB Games.

“I think the market will be pleasantly surprised with the inventive nature of this collaboration when our first game is released later this year.”
