Rick and Morty — Game Overview
Rick and Morty is Blueprint Gaming's licensed slot based on the Adult Swim animated series, released in 2020 on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines. The game features the show's main characters — Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, Summer, Beth, Jerry, and supporting cast members — as symbol artwork, with animated character sequences triggering at bonus events. Blueprint secured the licence as part of their broader strategy of pairing their Jackpot King progressive network with entertainment IP that has an established adult fan demographic.
The Portal Gun feature is the game's primary randomly-activating base game modifier. It triggers without warning during spins, firing interdimensional portals across the reels that add extra wilds, transform existing symbols, apply multipliers to current wins, or directly activate one of the four bonus modes. The unpredictable nature of the Portal Gun keeps base game sessions engaging between triggered bonus rounds — any spin could produce a Portal Gun intervention.
Four distinct bonus modes are available, each tied to a different character or episode theme from the series. Rick's Wild Ship surrounds the reels with expanding wild symbols. Morty's Wilds adds stacked wild columns to the playing grid. Bird Person's Free Spins delivers a standard free spins round with wild additions on each spin. Purge Planet Free Spins — the highest-variance mode — applies multipliers to wins throughout the bonus, creating the potential for substantially above-average results. Each mode can be triggered either through the Portal Gun feature or by landing sufficient bonus symbols on the reels. Blueprint's Jackpot King progressive network adds an additional win tier that accumulates across all connected titles and can trigger randomly during play.
