Charge into battle and conquer riches with Blueprint Gaming’s Napoleon Megaways™
Blueprint Gaming welcomes the return of the shrewd French strategist who is back to guide players into battle via the studio’s latest release, Napoleon Megaways™, offering a host of upgraded features including expanding wilds with multipliers and a lavish bonus game.
Representing the third instalment of the ever-popular game series from Blueprint, the six-reel action takes place on the front line where Napoleon, renowned for his battlefield brilliance, is on hand to lead the way to victory aided by the inspired Megaways™ mechanic offering 15, 625 ways to win.
Landing three or more of the crown-themed scatter symbols grants access to the Free Spins bonus where an impressive 12 free spins are granted.
Opportunities for grand wins are enhanced through Napoleon Wilds which upgrade high-paying symbols each time they land, starting with the transformation of Drums into Pistols, Pistols into Cannons and so on. Landing between one to four wilds in the bonus feature also triggers respective free spins as high as seven.
The bonus round is further strengthened by three or more scatter symbols hitting the grid, awarding 12 extra spins, as well as a cash prize depending on the amount of scatters, landed.
Adding a dynamic twist to base play, Napoleon symbols act as expanding wilds which receive a multiplier equal to the positions covered by the icon. These differ from the wild multipliers available in the first game of the series, which were determined by the amount featured in a winning combination.
Napoleon Megaways™ marks the latest blockbuster release from Blueprint Gaming, showcasing the studio’s commitment to enhancing renowned game families with fresh features for players to enjoy worldwide.
Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events at Blueprint Gaming, said: “We’re delighted to once again bring Napoleon’s historic legacy on the battlefield back to life through our captivating new release, Napoleon Megaways™.
“Back bigger and better than ever, dramatic sound effects and visuals are accompanied by an improved wild offering and bonus game where a plethora of free spins are ready to crown you victorious!”

BLAST & Solihull Council announces major esports event to take place in the UK next year
Solihull Council is pleased to announce a major esports event taking place in Solihull from 27 to 30 March 2025 at bp pulse LIVE.
The 2025 Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) Season will host its first arena event of the year in Solihull, with thousands of fans expected to attend.
Esports (or electronic sports) is a term used to describe competitive video gaming. It’s different from standard video gaming in that esports is competitive (player-vs-player) and usually has an engaging spectator element to it, like traditional sports. Rocket League is a sport-based video game (also known as football with rocket-powered cars that fly!).
The event – RLCS Major 1 Birmingham – will have national and international significance, welcoming some of the world’s best Rocket League players to Solihull and the wider region. 16 teams from around the world will compete for the first trophy of the RLCS 2025 Season in front of a live audience on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 March. Tickets will go on sale via Live Nation from next week.
A few weeks before the main event, members of the public will be invited to take part in an action-packed tournament, the ‘British Esports Cup’ featuring Rocket League. The British Cup tournament, led by the British Esports Federation, will be open to all UK residents aged 13+ and offer a prize pool of £5,000.
A business esports summit (WM Esports Unwrapped) is also planned for the event weekend, which will be a chance for key business and industry leaders to network and identify future growth opportunities.
Councillor Ian Courts, Leader of Solihull Council and Lead Member for Business and the Economy commented: “Esports may be a new concept for many of us, but it’s fast becoming an industry of huge economic significance. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the RLCS Major 1 Birmingham to our borough, in partnership with the British Esports Federation and BLAST.
“It is expected to attract thousands of fans from across the world to the arena, with millions more watching the global broadcast online. The economic benefit to the hospitality and visitor economy in the region is unrivalled with the majority of fans expected to attend the event from out of the area.
“The event will put our borough on the world stage and promote Solihull, the West Midlands and the NEC event campus as a national and international hub for gaming and esports championships.”
Chester King, President of British Esports said: “Hosting the RLCS Major 1 in Birmingham is a landmark moment for UK esports, and we’re thrilled to see another world-class event hosted in Great Britain.
“British Esports is proud to support the UK esports scene with our own Rocket League tournament running alongside the Major, providing a platform for aspiring players across the UK to showcase their talent. This collaboration underlines the strength of the UK’s esports ecosystem and British Esports’ ongoing commitment to creating opportunities for grassroots players to engage with professional esports athletes.”
People visiting the borough for the event are encouraged to check out the Visit Solihull website for information on where to eat, drink and stay in the borough.
The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and the UK Government is supporting the organisers of the event with funding from the Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund. This is being used to boost trade and tourism sectors and bring vital footfall to local businesses in the region.
Solihull Council is working in partnership with BLAST, British Esports Federation, NEC Group, West Midlands Growth Company and the University of Warwick.
In 2023, the UK was placed fifth in the world for esports revenue generation. Esports is growing at a rate of 13.8% a year. The video game market is worth an estimated $282 billion and there are approximately 3 billion active gamers worldwide.

Gear Up for Peter & Sons’ STEAMWORKS the WORKSHOP Slot October 24
New from acclaimed game studio Peter & Sons comes STEAMWORKS the WORKSHOP, a sumptuous cyberpunk slot with a cinematic score that comes packed with Wilds, Respins, Random Multipliers and a powerful Free Spins bonus game.
This 3×3-reel, 5-payline, medium volatility, steam-powered slot will be released globally on 24th October.
A secret workshop filled with towering gears, clanking levers and hissing valves and pistons holds the secrets of powerful inventions – and the potential for great rewards. STEAMWORKS the WORKSHOP offers a max win potential of up to 2,500x bet with a multiplier of up to 50x in the Free Spins round.
In the base game, when two reels show matching symbols or Wilds without forming a winning combination, a Respin is triggered for the third reel.
The Full Panel Feature activates when the entire panel is filled with the same symbols or Wilds, awarding a random multiplier up to 10x to the total win.
But it’s in the Free Spins Round when the game really gathers steam. Here, low-paying symbols are removed increasing the chances for bigger wins as players chase Respins and multipliers ranging from x5 to x50 for some massive win potential.
Yann Bautista, Commercial Director and Founder at Peter & Sons said: STEAMWORKS the WORKSHOP lets players step inside an animated mechanical world, and our artists have done an amazing job of realizing that. But beyond the cool visuals and music, this game has great pace and awesome playability. We think players will love the Full Panel Feature and the exciting Free Spins Round.
