Game of Thrones Slot Review

Game of Thrones Slot Overview

Winter has come to the slot-o-sphere in this officially licenced release from Microgaming, which pays tribute to one of the most popular fantasy TV shows of all time. The fight for Westeros is on as the four major houses battle on the reels. To whom will you pledge allegiance? Here, we dive into the domain of the Targaryens, Lannisters, Baratheons and Starks to discover what treachery and triumph are afoot in the 243 payline version of the game (a 15 payline version is also available). Should you take this George R. R. Martin-inspired creation for spin, you will find a world populated by Wilds, Paying Scatters, and a Free Spins Bonus, which comes in four distinctive flavours. Avoid succumbing to the scheming and skullduggery, and you may sit atop a 20,250x max win throne!

As fans of the series, we found this to be a faithful interpretation – albeit one that left us underwhelmed. The graphical quality is as excellent as ever from this developer, but the choice of symbols lacked a little imagination for our tastes. I mean, where are the dragons?! In terms of the game itself, the base game does everything nicely enough without offering anything that we haven’t seen before. Nevertheless, the random two-scatter pays and stacked wilds do just enough to keep up the excitement. As is often the case, this is all about the four Free Spins Rounds, which are both thematic and gripping. The score takes a further hit courtesy of the below-par RTP. With all that said, the max win is solid, and fans of the series will still find a lot to like.

Game of Thrones Wild

The familiar logo acts as the game’s Wild Symbol and will substitute for all standard pay symbols to help create winning combinations. Game of Thrones Wilds may appear on any reel and come stacked one, two, or three high.

Paying Throne Scatters

Landing two Throne Scatters anywhere in view awards a random instant win prize. Hitting three, four, or five on a single spin will hand you a 1x, 20x, or 200x payout!

Free Spins Bonus

In addition to their paying powers, Throne Scatters may see you ascend to the Free Spins Bonus Round. Bag three to five Throne Scatters on a single spin, and you will be invited to take your pick from the following four Free Spins Bonuses:

Baratheon Free Spins: Eight free spins with a 5x Multiplier. All Baratheon Emblems are stacked three high.
Lannister Free Spins: 10 free spins with a 4x Multiplier. All Lannister Emblems are stacked four high.
Stark Free Spins: 14 free spins with a 3x Multiplier. All Stark Emblems are stacked five high.
Targaryen Free Spins: 18 free spins with a 2x Multiplier. All Targaryen Emblems are stacked six high.

Hitting three or more Throne Scatters during the round awards a full retrigger.

Our Verdict A nicely thematic feature, with the multipliers and stacked House emblems bringing plenty of excitement and big win anticipation to all four varieties. So, who will you side with? Stick with those good old Starks? Or channel your inner scoundrel and join the Lannisters?

Game of Thrones Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
95.07%	No	High

The fixed Return to Player Percentage (RTP) of 95.07% is almost a percentage point below the industry average RTP of 96%.

No surprise, given the theme, that this release falls into the high volatility category. Games of this rating provide a rollercoaster experience but, on the plus side, offer a better chance of hitting a big win in a short session than low-medium volatility releases.

Our Verdict An RTP of 95.07% is disappointing for such a high-profile release and feels just a little cynical, as fans of the series will likely play this game regardless. Taking place in a land populated by fire-breathing dragons, White Walkers, and those pesky Lannisters, high volatility was the only reasonable fit for the theme.

Game of Thrones Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Game of Thrones lovers will have no trouble identifying the King’s Landing Throne Room setting. It’s all nicely illustrated, but, besides the weathered stone and all those iron spikes, there’s not an awful lot going on. The reels are similarly simplistic. That said, portraying the Card Values in the iconic font draws the low pays into the theme, House Emblems work well as the high pays, and we enjoyed the Scatter and Wild animations.

Audio

As an official Game of Thrones release, the game comes with the official Game of Thrones soundtrack. Hurrah! Featuring menacingly marching drums and string passages which soar and plumb the depths, the background audio lends a truly epic vibe to proceedings. The reel effects wisely do little to intrude on the ambient noise, as they arrive with little more than a muffled thud – only interrupted by the gentle coin clinks of payouts and the arrival of special symbols.

Our Verdict Overall, the sound and audio team have done a solid job of bringing the feel of the TV series to the reels - there’s certainly no mistaking the source material. On the downside, whilst the soundtrack is hard to fault, Microgaming may have missed a trick in not drawing more heavily on the fabulous cast of characters in the show.

Game of Thrones Slot on Mobile

Little Bran Stark could have done with a mobile to capture the dubious activities of Jaime and Cersei Lannister. Sadly, they weren’t around back then, and all he got was a rather long fall from a rather large tower for his trouble. Returning to reality, Microgaming has ensured that the game is available to desktop players and mobile slot fans. You will find all the gameplay and features intact on your Android, iOS, or Windows-powered device.
