Take A Trip Through A Land Of Ice And Fire With The Superb Game Of Thrones Slot

Without doubt one of the biggest television series of modern times has been HBO’s recreation of George.R.R Martin’s series of books beginning “A Song of Ice and Fire” better known to most people as the TV Show Game of Thrones.

The show's blend of surprising and often controversial storylines, engaging characters and visceral fight scenes (not to mention plenty of naked flesh on show) has seen it emerge as one of the most popular TV shows across the world.

Given the immense popularity of both Martin’s original books and the TV series, it was inevitable that a slot game would eventually appear and Microgaming won the rights to develop not one, but two different Game of Thrones slots.

While there are two slots carrying the Game of Thrones name, in actual fact the slots are almost identical in terms of the symbols, look, bonus games, features and gameplay. The only difference between the two slots is that one offers 243 ways to win on every spin (and is slightly more expensive to play) whereas the other offers 15-paylines.

Other than the number of paylines and the size of the minimum bets available, the two slots play out in pretty much exactly the same way, so for the purposes of this review, we are going to focus more on the many features that are evident in both versions of the game.

The two different Game of Thrones Slots are available to play at many different casinos that offer Microgaming products including Bet365 Games and Spin Genie. Why not consider joining one of the many no deposit UK casinos featured on ISM today to indulge yourself in one of the finest slot releases in many years?

New UK players will qualify for £10 free Spin Genie no deposit bonus and can use a Bet 365 bonus code at Bet365 Games. 

Tips for playing the Game of Thrones slot

The first thing to note about the Game of Thrones slot, is that it needs to be played with the sound turned up. A slower tempo version of the stirring Game of Thrones theme music is your rousing accompaniment to the slots game and with its gentle rhythmic beats and rousing, dramatic melody, it is a perfect accompaniment to the spinning reels.

Indeed one of the key features of the slot is that when you access additional features (such as the free spins bonus games) the music changes to reflect the added drama and tension. This does make a marked difference to how the slot plays and does enhance the experience a great deal.

Now let’s turn our attention to the reels. The usual playing card symbols act as the in game low symbols and each of the four houses in the series, Lannister, Stark, Baratheon and Targaryen are represented by their own sigil, a circular emblem representing each of the families.

Landing the higher symbols awards a bigger win than the low symbols and your chances of a winning payline are increased by the Game of Thrones Wild symbol. Wilds are stacked across all the reels and which when landed, can help you land a winning payline by substituting for any of the other symbols on the slot, except the in-game scatter.

That scatter is represented by the iconic image of the entire series, the sword throne. Land two of these symbols across the reels and you’ll trigger a scatter bonus, which awards a random prize which can be a large prize, or is more often a smaller one. The amount you win is decided by a factor of your initial wager.

However, the fun really kicks up a notch when you land three or more of the throne of swords symbols across the reels. This triggers the free spins section of the game and this is where you have a choice to declare your allegiance to one of the four main houses represented in the series.

Free Spins Section

In the free spins section, your key decision is which of the bonus on offer from each of the houses you would like to select.

House Baratheon offers just 8 free spins, but those free spins come with the largest multiplier on offer of 5x your payline wins. In addition the Baratheon sigil symbol will be stacked three high across the reels.

Elect to take the House of Lannister bonus and you will receive 10 free spins, but that comes with a 4x multiplier bonus, however the Lannister sigil symbol is stacked four high across the reels.

Of all the families in the series, the Stark family have had the toughest time and if you elect to declare allegiance to Stark, you can take 14 free spins with a 3x multiplier and each of the Stark symbols are stacked five-high across the reels.

Finally, if you are a more fiery character, then you can show your allegiance to the Targaryen’s. Pledging allegiance to Daenarys will see you rewarded with the highest number of free spins, 18, but you only receive a 2x multiplier, however the Targaryen symbol is stacked six-high across the reels.

It is in the free spins section that the games biggest wins can be found and you could win up to a massive 121,000 coins if you hit the right symbols and multipliers at the right time.

That is not all though as Game of Thrones also features a new Gamble Trail feature. Unlike other gambling features, if you gamble any of your winnings successfully, you not only receive double your prize, but you will also progress through the Game of Thrones map, journeying through four different locations from the TV series and books as you wager your winnings in the game.
