Game Of Thrones
Game Of Thrones
The Game of Thrones slot from Games Global is based on that smash-hit fantasy franchise. We have plenty of games in this category such as the Golden Grimoire slot, but none as famous as the Game of Thrones franchise.
Never slow to cotton on to the biggest crazes, Microgaming dreamt up a slot based on George R.R. Martin’s book series that went on to become one of the most successful TV shows of all time.
The Basics
You´ll be taking your chances at ruling Westeros, or at least trying to make a King’s ransom, over three rows, five reels and 243 ways to win.
The source of the big wins in this slot title is, as ever, in the Free Spins game. There are four different Free Spins features, one for each of the competing houses. And there’s a smart gamble feature that will allow you to journey the badlands of Westeros.
The Graphics
True to the cult show, this slot is set in the fantasy realm of Westeros. This slot’s look and feel is heavily influenced by the brooding atmosphere of the series. It kind of reminds me of the Crusader slot from ELK Studios. Watch out for the coats of arms, concealed weapons and dark corners in which to plot the downfall of your enemies. It´s all rather tastefully done.
Behind the reel set is the source of the story, the Iron Throne, which the four dynasties are fighting for.
You can’t fail to notice that there is also some animation and live footage straight from the show. Diehard G.O.T. fans will love it – this slot is true to the series.
Fans will be happy to hear the dramatic music that’s become synonymous with the TV show: Microgaming has cleverly got its hands on it.
Game of Thrones Slot Game Play
This slick-looking game gives you two different playing options: will you opt for the 243 ways to win version (like the Punk Rocker slot from Nolimit City Games), or the 15-pay line version? Pick your favourite and ride into the kingdom of Westeros.
The top of the pay table is crowded with the four emblems of the different houses vying for power. Top of the list is the House Baratheon with a stag, then there’s House Lannister with a lion, House Stark with a wolf and finally House Targaryen with the dragon.
Stone-carved letters represent the Ace through Jack of the card deck, the lower value icons in this title.
And you can’t miss the game’s Wild, the well-known Game of Thrones logo. The Wild can land stacked in both the base and free spins feature which is always good for morale! The Scatter icon is the famous Iron Throne.
The Bonuses
Cash Boost
Whether you manage to trigger the Free Spins features or not, landing a pair of Scatters on the reels will give you a boost and help your bank balance along with a cash prize: a nice consolation until you hit the big prize.
Free Spins
Land three or more logo Scatters on the reels and you will launch the bonus-laden Free Spins feature. Now you’re in the driving seat and you pick which of the four different Free Spins you want to try. There’s a different bonus game for each of the great houses.
If you pick Baratheon House, you could unlock eight free games and a generous 5x multiplier. And a stack of three house emblems to enhance your wins.
Or you could go with the wickedly tempting House Lannister with ten free spins with a 4x multiplier to boost your pot of gold. Here you can land four stacked house emblems to generate wins.
Or, put your faith in House Stark and get fourteen free games and all your wins will be boosted by a triple multiplier and again, expect up to five stacked emblems to increase your winning luck.
Finally, get behind the fiery dragons and support House Targaryen. You will need to make the most of eighteen free games with a double multiplier to grow your cash pile. And don’t forget that you can land up to six stacked emblems to bring home a treasure trove.
Gamble
As well as creating a true-to-the-tale game, Games Global has come up with a gamble feature (not available in all jurisdictions).
After any win, you can choose to gamble your winnings. Flip an ancient coin and call whether it will fall head or tails: get it right and double your prize. You will travel between four different locations on a map, one for each correct gamble.
Eventually, if your luck is in, you will hit the maximum prize, but watch out for those Westeros traps along the way!
Pros and Cons: Game of Thrones
✅ Good free spins feature with a choice of bonus award.
✅ Video clips from the series in the gamble feature.
✅ The music from the series set the mood instantly.
✅ You can re-trigger the free spins from within the bonus.
❌ They could have done so much more in the base game with video clips and so on- it feels a bit flat.
