Deal or No Deal: Double Action™ becomes latest addition to supplier’s Pub Fruit Series

Blueprint Gaming is inviting players to beat the banker once again in the latest addition to its popular Pub Fruit Series – Deal or No Deal: Double Action™.

Following the success of last year’s debut release, The Perfect Play, the next incarnation of the slot game using the Deal or No Deal™ licence, inspired by the world-renowned gameshow, delivers even more features from the classic pub fruit gaming format.

Collect five or more telephone symbols to trigger the Double Action feature, where players can experience two games at the same time and double their chances of picking a box filled with top prizes.

The gameplay is packed with 16 feature games, which can be won from the Super Board. Reaching the top of the feature ladder gains entry to the Big Money round where there is a guaranteed huge payout.

Deal or No Deal: Double Action™ is the latest release to feature the supplier’s new range of operator marketing and promotional tools, including the already popular 10p stake option and free spins promotion.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing and Relationships at Blueprint Gaming, said: “Our Pub Fruit Series has caught the attention of our operating partners and more importantly, the imagination of the players who love the retro-experience we’ve bought to online gaming.

“With additional features and even more ways to beat the banker, Deal or No Deal: Double Action™ is set to provide even more tension when opening those boxes!”
