Game Of Thrones | Video Slot
Fans of George R R Martin’s epic series are celebrating the news that the Game of Thrones slot has hit our screens. Microgaming has bought the licence for turning the HBO cult favourite into an online slot game and has just announced its release.
Based on the best-selling ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ fantasy series, the Game of Thrones TV series premiered in 2011, quickly becoming one of the most talked about shows on television. With critical acclaim and commercial success behind it, powered by a strong fan base, the slot game has a lot to live up to – so is Microgaming is up to the challenge?
Game of Thrones slot
The Game of Thrones video slot sports a 5×3 grid with a choice between 15 paylines or 243 ways to win, an innovative feature that is sure to be much appreciated by many players.
There’s no doubt that the impressive graphics are a key selling point for the slot; much like the TV series, the immersive nature of the fantasy tale depends on the ability of the designers. The slot is visually stunning and comes backed by a fantastic sound track that will transport you to Martin’s world! Rather disappointingly, there was no sign of the much-loved characters in the preview trailer released by Microgaming and we hoped that this would be rectified upon its release… alas, it seems that this has been overlooked and the game is missing the stars you know and love.
Features
However, even if the characters don’t make an appearance there is much to recommend the slot so we don’t think you’ll mind too much.
Stacked wilds
The slot offers stacked wilds in the form of the Game of Thrones logo, increasing your chances of forming a winning combination across the lines.
Scatter symbol
Two or more scatter symbols awards a bonus. The scatter is also the trigger for the free spins round.
Cinematic Free Spins
Arguably the most impressive feature on this slot, the free spins round begins with a series of thrilling clips from the show. The game then offers a selection of the four houses Baratheon, Lannister, Stark and Targaryen, each corresponding to different amounts of free spins, multipliers and symbol stacks.
Baratheon: 8 free spins, 5x multiplier, 3 symbol stack
Lannister: 10 free spins, 4x multiplier, 4 symbol stack
Stark: 14 free spins, 3x multiplier, 5 symbol stack
