Game of Thrones Review

Game of Thrones Reviewed by Casinogamesonnet.com

Game of Thrones is Microgaming’s next big slot. The online casino software developers have a tendency to release really massive titles, which are tie-ins with major movies or television series. As far as popular TV series go, there are no bigger than Game of Thrones at the moment. This fantasy themed series is likened to Lord of the Rings in its mysticism, and should make an excellent addition to Microgaming’s ranks. Game of Thrones is also one of the most anticipated video slots of the year.

Officially licensed by HBO; the Game of Thrones video slot offers you four main special features, one for each of the Houses of Baratheon, Lannister, Stark and Targaryen. Symbols on the reels include the shields of those houses, the high playing card icons designed in the Game of Thrones lettering, and other powerful imagery from the hit television series.

Gameplay and wagering

If we are understanding Microgaming correctly, Game of Thrones will actually allow the player to choose how they wish to play it. You may have the option of playing either with 15 lines, or you could play it as a 243 ways to win game, although we are still waiting for Microgaming to verify that. We have at least seen previews of the game as a 243 ways to win title, and so a minimum spin isn’t going to cost you any more than 0.30 per spin at its highest. That bit is guaranteed.

Game of Thrones Special features

Game of Thrones will contain stacked wilds, and a free spins bonus where players can choose from four different free spins options. In order to get there though, players will need to land three or more scatters on the reels. They can win scattered pay-outs with just two scatters. The House of Baratheon free spins bonus will offer 8 free spins, as well as multipliers of 5x, and stacked Baratheon High icons. The House of Lannister free spins will see players get 10 free games with a 4x multiplier, as well as stacked Lannister High icons. The House of Stark free spins bonus will also contain stacked High icons, whilst players can enjoy a 3x multiplier on an offering of 14 free spins. Finally, players can choose the House of Targaryen free spins bonus, which offers 2x multipliers and 18 free spins, as well as stacked Targaryen High icons.

Launch date and final thoughts

The Game of Thrones slot was only announced in late summer, and despite early predictions of a November release, this has turned out not to be the case. Given the lack of preview videos, it is believed that Microgaming is keeping this one pretty close to their chest. Players can probably expect a late December or early January launch for this hotly anticipated title.

You can play Game of Thrones for fun here on its releaseday or play other Microgaming slots for fun until then.

Release Date
