Microgaming to build new Game of Thrones Slot in 2020.
Millions of people fell in love with the HBO hit series, Game of Thrones. Many of those same fans were equally enthralled by Microgaming’s 2014 dual-editions of Game of Thrones Online Slots. Those games, published in 15 line and 243 ways editions, were the result of a contract with HBO that gave the digital games developer exclusive rights to build the branded slot content. Now, it’s been confirmed that another branded game is in the making.
Microgaming announced this morning that they’ve extended their contract with HBO. Another license-branded Game of Thrones slot machine is in the works, earmarked for launch sometime later this year. The newest version is currently being marketed as the Game of Thrones Power Stacks Slot.

Today’s press release confirms that the newest edition will feature a number of the hit HBO series’ “leading characters and personalities”. No visual creatives or promotional content bearing the visages of those characters has been released. So far, the only marketing banner is this one, leaving the mystery up to the imaginations of those who adore the television and online slots series.
What we do know is that players will once more be led on an ambitious journey through the fictitious lands of Westeros. We also know that the digital fabrication team of Slingshot Studios, one of Microgaming’s foremost exclusive content partners, will be in charge of the new game’s design. Slingshot is the same company that produced the high-quality 3D masterpiece slots, Cash of Kingdoms, Banana Odyssey and A Dark Matter.
As many of you probably know, Game of Thrones is one of the world’s most popular and successfully merchandised brands. Over the course of the series, the show and its collective crew have received 160 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and 59 wins, plus 7 Golden Globe nominations and 1 win. Game of Thrones defined a generation of television that continues to spark mimics of the genre.
By the time the series reached the pinnacle of its 8th season, its success was practically unparalleled. A staggering 19.3 million viewers tuned into all manner of HBO platforms to watch the finale episode. The original 2014 Game of Thrones Slots are, to this very day, achieving front page ranking on many of the world’s top online casino websites.
Now, the HBO series’ devout fans can look forward to a whole new adventure in Westeros when the new Game of Thrones Slot arrives later this year. Fortunately, we won’t have too wait too long at least to gather more details about the upcoming game. A teaser of the next GoT title is slated for debut at the ICE Totally Gaming expo happening this week in London.
“We are excited to extend our partnership with HBO to supply a new Game of Thrones online slot that honours and builds on the brand’s immense popularity,” said Microgaming Chief Commercial Officer, Jean-Luc Ferriere. “In the spirit of the show, we will be working hard to deliver a quality, feature-rich slot game so that players can enjoy an authentic Game of Thrones themed gaming experience.
