The show itself deals essentially with themes of power around a set of morally ambiguous characters. Microgaming has been incredibly secretive about its production of Game of Thrones Pokies, and practically no news has been leaked except for the month of its release which will be August 2014. What can be banked on is an epic game done in the style and scope of Avalon. Further assumptions can be the inclusion of multiple features like Scatters, Free Spins, Stacked Wilds, and most likely an array of casino bonus rounds that will require a Scatter symbol to allow entry and will work in a systematic manner where progression requires multiple entries.
The game will either rely on a fixed payline structure consisting of anywhere between 25 and 50 paylines or it will use Microgaming’s redefining Ways-to Win system which will either be 243 or 1024 ways to win.
List of Possible Pokies Characters
Game of Thrones will likely merge original footage from the TV series with new Microgaming content to lend it a strong air of authenticity while also giving fans of the series and players alike something new. While it’s hard to assume which characters will feature, based on what is already known of the series, characters from each house are bound to be in the game. Thus pokies players can expect characters from houses Stark, Arynn, Targaryen, Lannister and Baratheon.
Actual characters in the online pokies game will most likely be Eddard Stark, Tayrion Lannister, Khal Drogo, Queen Cersei Baratheon, Princess Daenerys Targaryen, Lisa Arryn and a host of others. For now, all remains to be seen and will be unveiled soon enough.
A Surprising Online Pokies Game
Following the release of Game of Thrones we are happy to report that this pokies game ticks all the right boxes, but that some of our predictions weren’t quite right!
A 243 Ways to Win pokies game with 5 reels, Game of Thrones features the seals of the 4 main families, as well as the iconic throne. There’s a Wild and Scatter to give your winnings a boost and there is a Free Spins Bonus with rewards that differ, depending on whether you choose to side with Baratheon, Lannister, Stark or Targaryen.
To add to the action there’s also an unusual Gamble Game. Essentially an intricate heads and tails game, there are 4 possible moves you can make and each will correspond with a province in the story, and reward you accordingly.
You can now play Game of Thrones at top New Zealand casinos and enjoy all the action for yourself!
