Slots review Blueprint Gaming Rick and Morty Megaways

Rick and Morty Megaways (Blueprint Gaming): Overview

Anyone who enjoys Megaways slots will find plenty to like in Blueprint Gaming’s library—at least until the bankroll says otherwise. With standout hits like Return of Kong Megaways, Primal Megaways, Gods of Olympus Megaways and Genie Jackpot Megaways, Blueprint have consistently shown they know how to keep slot fans entertained. Every so often, they also branch into branded releases tied to well-known TV and film properties. After landing a partnership with Cartoon Network, Blueprint Gaming are set to roll out a game that’s sure to make rivals take notice: Rick And Morty Megaways.

From the moment you load it up, it’s clear you’re in for something a bit different—even if you’ve never watched the show it’s based on. Rick and Morty Megaways feels anything but rushed; the overall quality is obvious throughout, and Blueprint Gaming have clearly refined the visuals and mechanics down to the smallest details. Everything transitions smoothly between features and functions, and it’s all backed up by a pleasing level of win potential.

If the phrase ‘wubba lubba dub dub’ doesn’t ring a bell, a quick note on the theme helps. Rick and Morty is an adult-focused animated series shown on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network’s late-night block. Rick Sanchez is an eccentric scientist, and Morty is his grandson. Together they tumble into strange, surreal adventures in a world full of irreverent humour and offbeat storytelling. It’s a fairly niche series, but it has a big following—and it translates surprisingly well into a slot format.

Another big driver is the Megaways engine licensed from Australian developer Big Time Gaming. It delivers 6 reels with 2-7 rows per reel, plus a unique 4-symbol horizontal row across the top. The reel heights change every spin, so the number of win ways can vary up to 117,749 at maximum expansion. There’s also a cascade mechanic that can generate multiple wins from a single spin by removing winning symbols and dropping new ones into place for additional chances.

The paytable symbols are divided between low-paying royals (9-A) and higher-paying themed icons. From lowest to highest, Blueprint includes the green rock with parasite eggs, then two shards (apparently from an episode some of us missed), followed by Morty, with Rick as the top regular symbol. Rick is the best standard payer, with 6 of a kind worth 50 times the stake. He also pays from two of a kind upwards. All other symbols require three or more to form a win, and the WILD symbol can step in to help complete combinations.

The wild appears only in the bonus positions above reels 2, 3, 4, or 5, and it substitutes for any regular paying symbol. The paytable also lists an above-average RTP of 97.05% (with the bonus engaged), or 96.55% without it, which stands out in an era where RTPs have generally been trending lower. Combine that with high volatility and the promise of larger hits, and the technical setup looks strong.

Rick and Morty Megaways (Blueprint Gaming): Features

Feature-wise, Rick and Morty Megaways brings plenty to the table. Beyond cascade wins, there are several random modifiers and properly triggered bonuses that keep the pace lively. To start, Mystery Symbols can land anywhere. When they appear, they all transform into the same symbol, boosting the odds of forming winning combinations.

The action ramps up once the scatter comes into play. The bonus symbol is the scatter, which can land anywhere except on the bonus reel. Landing 4 triggers the feature picker (and each extra scatter adds 5 more spins), letting players choose 1 of 4 options:

Pickle Rick Free Spins – A free spins round featuring an Unlimited Win Multiplier that begins at x1 and increases by +1 with every cascade.
Federation Wild Spins – each spin highlights positions on the bonus reel. If the symbols beneath match the highlighted symbol, they turn wild. If the highlighted symbol is wild, the entire reel becomes wild and may also receive a multiplier. This mode includes Federation Scatter symbols, and three or more award extra free spins.
Vindicator Free Spins – this feature includes symbols with instant prize values plus Special symbols. Each Special symbol that lands collects all prize symbols currently visible. If more than one Special symbol is on screen, each one collects the value shown on the Special symbols.
Mystery Free Spins – spin a wheel made up of free spins and bonus-round combinations. The wheel selects one of the features above and awards between 5 and 50 free spins. The more scatters that triggered the feature picker, the higher the free spin amounts available on the wheel.

In bonus rounds, scatters can still land on the bonus reel, and 3 award 5 extra spins, while 4 award 10 extra spins.

Finally, where offered, the game can include a Bonus Buy option. This purchase takes you straight to the Mystery Free Spins Wheel, with 5, 10, 15, or 20 free spins available. The price of this shortcut is 150 times the total bet.

Rick and Morty Megaways (Blueprint Gaming): Verdict

Blueprint Gaming deliver the goods. Rick and Morty Megaways is a slick, high-quality slot that clearly had serious effort put into its production. The visuals and animations are excellent and do a great job of matching the tone of the original cartoon. And in Blueprint’s hands, the Megaways system runs about as smoothly as you could hope for.

On the bonus front, there’s a strong mix of feature types, and players will likely enjoy testing them out to find a personal favourite—though it’s not an easy call. Federation Free Spins can shine when full-reel wild multipliers start boosting win ways. Vindicator Free Spins really pop when multiple Special Symbols land together and vacuum up instant prizes, which is always entertaining. Put simply, choosing the best one is difficult. No matter which you land on, the rewards are capped at 50,000 times the stake or $250,000 per session, so there’s plenty at stake.

Rick and Morty Megaways may not redefine what slots can be, but the fact it even invites that kind of comparison says a lot about what players now expect from Blueprint’s Megaways lineup. All in all, it’s tough to criticise: the theme is a smart fit, the maths feel well balanced, the feature set is genuinely strong, and the upside is impressive. And what would Rick Sanchez say about that? In his own words ‘“I’m sorry, but your opinion means very little to me.’
