Fans of the fantasy realm can now experience the excitement of HBO’s Game of Thrones in the form of a Video Slot. Not to be confused with Microgaming’s online version, Aristocrat wanted to create a game that would appeal to the mass following that the show has established as well as gamblers who simply enjoy a good Slot, which won the “Best Slot Product” award in the 15th Annual Global Gaming Business Gaming & Technology Awards.
Game of Thrones began as a series of books and was picked up by HBO as the focus of a new television series in 2011. It wasn’t long before viewers’ eyes were locked in for every episode. Aristocrat spotted an opportunity and obtained a licensing contract for the development of a branded game, which was released in April 2015.
Game of Thrones Slot Theme
Aristocrat has packed the game with the most crucial characters, audio and authentic graphics to create the total experience. It features three base games representing the houses of Stark, Lannister and Targaryen. Characters include Daenerys, Jon Snow, Tyrion and more. Various moments from the show’s many seasons are captured and delivered to players via exciting visuals complete with dragons, swords, epic battles and more. The dark yet addictive quality of the show is presented on a large curved screen known as the ARC Double™ cabinet available in land based casinos.
Features
When three Scatter symbols appear on the reels the Game of Thrones Wheel Feature awards one of four bonuses based on significant events from the show.
- The Wall Feature offers 8 free spins as the wall climbs up to 16 symbols high or 134 lines. Wins associated with Elevator Wilds are multiplied between 2 and 5 times.
- Battle of Blackwater Bay Feature awards 6 free spins including additional wilds and stacked symbols.
- Mother of Dragons Feature prompts the player to select a dragon egg to reveal a multiplier and the number of picks to follow in the pick’em rounds.
- Progressive Feature is comprised of 4 jackpot levels. Players are awarded a number of picks based on their bet for a chance to win one of the four progressives or credits.
Wrapping it up
Game of Thrones engages players with its many features. Fans of the show will not be let down as every aspect of the design creatively represents life in the fantasy world. The most important thing to players, besides how the game plays is the payouts. The provider created the game to offer the potential for higher payouts. As with any Slot, this is not guaranteed but the possibilities are thrilling. From start to finish, Aristocrat’s version blows Microgaming’s out of the water and once it becomes available online, players may never look back.
