Under the terms of the deal, the slot developer will launch a selection of its igaming titles which include a range of branded slots such as The Goonies, Rick and Morty Wubba Lubba Dub Dub and Ted, along with its Megaways-themed games. 

Samuel Haggblom, director of key accounts international at Blueprint Gaming, said: “StarCasinò is a highly reputable brand in Italy and we’re delighted to now have our games live within its online offering. 

“In recent months we have significantly improved our international reach and made our games more accessible to players worldwide. Italy remains a key focus for Blueprint and we’re looking forward to delivering new and existing games to the likes of StarCasinò in the near future.”

Blueprint is certified by the AAMS and is live with several operators in Italy. This latest commercial deal reaffirms the company’s commitment to the region and its ambition to grow the studio’s market share in one of Europe’s biggest gaming territories.

Marco Strazzulla, gaming manager at StarCasinò, added: “Given Blueprint’s reputation for developing outstanding slots for the online casino industry, it made strategic sense for us to introduce its content into our portfolio.

“In particular, we believe the company’s range of branded games, land-based inspired content and Megaways titles will prove to be great additions. We’re thrilled this agreement has come to fruition and excited to be offering more Blueprint games to our players over the coming months.”

The launch of Blueprint titles in Italy follows on from the slot developer’s similar deal last month with “another high profile launch in Canada” as it went live with Loto-Québec in the region.

This latest agreement within the Canadian market sees the lottery go live with a selection of Blueprint’s igaming titles, following an integration via Scientific Games’ OpenGaming platform.
