Blueprint’s enhanced Viz™ slot launches exclusively with Paddy Power Betfair
Jackpot King Deluxe added to classic branded title
Blueprint Gaming, the leading supplier of branded slots to the gaming industry, has enhanced its classic game Viz™ inspired by the popular comic magazine, with the new version launching exclusively with Paddy Power Betfair.
The original release marked Blueprint’s entry into the online market and has now been transformed into HTML5, including the exciting addition of the Jackpot King Deluxe progressive system that offers massive win potential.
Coinciding with Viz’s 40th anniversary, the revamped game retains all the crass from the popular hit including iconic characters Roger Mellie and Johnny Fartpants, allowing players to rediscover the timeless slot that first put Blueprint on the map over a decade ago.
During this 5×3 20-line slot, three Showtime Bonus symbols gain entry to the Big Deal round where players eliminate TVs for a free spins offer worth up to 50 spins.
Long-term Blueprint operator partner Paddy Power Betfair is the first to go live with the newly enhanced slot, which will soon be made available to the developer’s global operator network.
Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing and Relationships at Blueprint Gaming, said: “To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the UK’s much-loved adult comic magazine, we’ve put a fresh twist on the game we first launched in the online market some 10 years ago.
“Adding Jackpot King to the gameplay makes perfect sense, providing fans of the original release with an even greater thrill.”
Mike Phelan, Commercial Director at Paddy Power Gaming, said: “We are delighted to be the first operator to launch the new Viz™ slot on its 40th anniversary. With the addition of the Jackpot King and after last year’s £4m winner on Paddy Power, we know how popular these games are with customers. This year, we’re hoping to add another lucky customer into the Punting Hall of Fame and what better game to do it on than this branded slot!”
ACR Poker is igniting the spring poker season with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Special High Five Edition, offering an astonishing $10 million in guaranteed prize pools alongside the return of its celebrated High Five Series.
From April 12 to April 28, 2026, the special edition will feature two marquee events running simultaneously — an $8 million GTD No‑Limit Hold’em (NLH) and a $2 million GTD Pot‑Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament — promising some of the most thrilling online poker action of the year.
Players buy in for $2,650 and compete for massive mystery bounties, with the NLH event offering up to $500,000 for a single knockout and the PLO event featuring a top bounty of $200,000. Every knockout on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in bounty rewards.
With five Day 1 flights, participants can enter multiple times and build competitive stacks for Day 2’s showdown. Qualifiers begin April 7th through Venom Fever satellites, providing hundreds of seats — some even free — via Direct, Mega, or Beast satellite events.
All players who make it to Day 2 on April 27th at 1:05 pm ET are already in the money. The climactic final table to crown this special edition’s champions will take place on April 28th at 4:05 pm ET.
ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker says the High Five edition builds on the momentum of earlier high‑stakes events like the $50 Million OSS XL, combining huge guarantees with broad access and big bounty potential for players of all bankrolls.
