Lottomart has expanded its partnership with UK-based game studio Blueprint Gaming, implementing a direct platform integration on the back of a national TV campaign that showcased a range of the developer’s most popular titles.

Through the direct integration, Blueprint titles on Lottomart can now further incorporate a range of in-game tools, including in-game Free Spins, Super Mode, Chained Bonusing, and the Big Win Board. These features are designed by Blueprint to provide varied gameplay mechanics across its portfolio.

As part of the rollout, Rapid Fire Jackpots will also be added to the platform. This Blueprint-developed feature offers jackpot opportunities with values starting from £250 and ranging up to £7,500, alongside multipliers between 5x and 1000x. Rapid Fire Jackpots will run alongside Blueprint’s existing Jackpot King system and an extension to Lottomart’s current jackpot offering.

This all follows Lottomart’s national TV campaign, which focused solely on Blueprint content, featuring popular titles such as Fishin’ Frenzy and Eye of Horus. The campaign also presented viewers with an insight into the Jackpot King feature available across their titles.

For Lottomart, the partnership provides increased flexibility in implementing games, bolstering their marketing agreements, and maintaining consistent presentation of Blueprint content across multiple channels.

One of the key elements of the Boomerang Partners booth decoration was the photo zone with a memorabilia gallery of sports items that belonged to star athletes. On September 17th, an online raffle was held, where participants could win an item previously owned by legends Rafael Nadal, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tyson Fury, and Fernando Alonso. 86 people participated in the raffle by following the entry requirements. On September 16th or 17th (before 4:00 PM), they took a photo of the booth’s photo zone and posted it on their Instagram stories or LinkedIn, tagging the Boomerang Partners account. The winner was selected via random draw using certified tools and announced at the booth and on Boomerang’s social media. He chose Cristiano Ronaldo Framed Football as the prize.
