Game of Thrones Online Pokies Brings Westeros to Life

It seems as if everyone watches the Game of Thrones series.  The show’s popularity sparked interest at Microgaming to develop a pokies game adapted from the series.  As true-to-life as the show is, Microgaming knew that the graphics and animation in the pokies version would have to be nothing short of spectacular, and they are!  In the short time Game of Thrones online pokies has been available, it has become one of the most popular Australian pokies.

Symbols That Taker Us Back to the Distant Past

Symbols are carved from stone and laid in rich parchment.  In the bonus rounds, the Sigil Symbols are the richly detailed shield of each of the four royal houses.  Dragons and flaming dragon eggs may appear as if from nowhere!  The sharp fangs of the wolves frighten many fearless knights but they are here to protect you.

The music is the same score as on the television series.  As it plays on, you feel increasing foreboding as though you will surely meet with danger and adventure as you journey through Westeros.

Two Formats

Game of Thrones online pokies was developed in two formats.  You can play with 15 paylines.  In this format you will have frequent small wins.  You can also play in the 243 ways to win structure.  The wins in this structure are higher and the potential for massive wins in the bonus rounds is greater in this system as well.  The largest payout is $121,000 when you get stacked Wilds on all reels in the free spins bonus rounds.

Wild Symbol

The Game of Thrones logo is the Wild symbol.  Wild symbols are stacked both in the regular game and in the bonus game.  Stacked Wilds make wins more plentiful and with the extra bonus in the free spins rounds, your wins can be large indeed.

The Iron Throne serves as the Scatter symbol.  Scatter symbols pay in all positions unlike the other symbols which pay from left to right.  When two Iron Thrones appear a flaming egg “emerges” from the screen and you win a cash award. 

You qualify for the free spin bonus with three or more Iron Thrones.   The bonus round in Game of Thrones is unlike the online pokies bonuses you are familiar with from other pokies.  Here you are confronted by the flags of the four royal houses blowing horizontally in the fierce wind of Westeros.  The royal houses have been vying with each other since time immemorial for dominion over Westeros by capturing the Iron Throne.  You have been enlisted to battle on the side of one of the royal houses.  Here you must make a fateful decision!  Your choice will determine how the free throws are scored.  Your choice will determine the number of free spins you will take, the multiplier for the bonus round, and the size of the stacked Sigil Symbol for each royal house!

• You can choose the House of Baratheon.  If you do, you will receive 8 free spins with a 5x multiplier.  The Sigil Symbols for the House of Baratheon stack three high.
• You can choose the House of Lannister.  If you do, you will get 10 free spins with a 4x multiplier. The Sigil Symbols for the House of Lannister stack four high!
• You can choose the House of Stark.  If you do, the wolves that were trained to protect the royal family will run with you!   You will play 14 free spins with a 3x multiplier.  The Sigils Symbols for the House of Stark stack five high!
• You can choose the House of Targaryen.  If you do, you will first soar with the dragons.  You will have 18 free spins with a 2x multiplier.  The Sigil Symbols for the House of Targaryen stack six high!

The free spins bonus retriggers if you get three Scatters during a free spin.

Game of Thrones Gamble Feature

After every win, you will have the chance to double your earnings.  Life in Westeros is complex and the gamble feature exemplifies this complexity.  There are four stages in each gamble round.  First, choose heads or tails.  Then flip the Braavosi coin.  If your gamble was correct, you double your winnings!  A short video featuring the White Walker celebrates your win and you move ahead on the Trail Map.  You can repeat the gamble three more times.  With each win, a video will help you rejoice your win.  The subsequent celebratory videos feature the 3- eyed raven, Dire Wolf, and a dragon.  But good fortune is fleeting in Westeros.  If you guess incorrectly, you lose your previous gamble winnings!

Enter the Mood

Game of Thrones online pokies is as much about the mood as it is about winning the top jackpot.  At every spin you will experience the tense atmosphere that permeates Westeros from the lowliest hamlet to the very seats of power where even kings and queens cannot feel safe.  Revel in the mysterious music.  It’s all here at your favourite online casino!  At the end of the day, we all play online pokies for fun and profit.  But Game of Thrones takes playing for “fun” to another level!
