Brand New Game of Thrones For 2020 Announced by Microgaming
Game of Thrones was not only one of the most popular HBO series but also one of Microgaming’s biggest attractions within its online slot gaming collection, and now we are in store for yet another visit to Westeros as Microgaming touted the new be Game of Thrones™ Power Stacks™ at the ICE London 2020 event that took place from 4 to 6 February.
This latest announcement is the follow on to the original Game of Thrones video slot released in 2014. That slot came with exactly the same gameplay but with 15-pay line and 243-ways-to-win versions on the game as Microgaming already anticipated how popular the game would be and decided to give players two exiting options to play with.
Both editions more than proved their worth in Microgaming casinos and we are now bracing ourselves for yet another brand-new release which has also been announced on an official Microgaming Game of Thrones press release.
The original announcement was made on 3 February 2020, when the developer excitedly unveiled its plans to give its fans yet another taste of the bloodthirsty action-packed original slot title to be designed by Slingshot Studios which is a highly innovative software development studio that exclusively creates content for Microgaming.
Arguably one of Microgaming’s wisest decisions of the decade was to quickly beat its rivals and snap up the rights to the produce a Game of Thrones slot game. It seems that no matter which industry the Game of Thrones brand touches, it has become a money-spinning asset to the companies that buy into it and it is easy to understand why as the series attracted more than 19 million viewers over 8 series.
Game of Throne's popularity is not only adorned by the general public but also by critics whom most TV, film, and series productions struggle to impress. However, the critics were firm fans of the series resulting in 59 successful wins out of a staggering 160 Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
The series even went on to win a Golden Globe Award (GGA) joining the likes of The X-Files and The Sopranos series in the GGA hall of fame – although Microgaming was beaten to the finish line by Playtech when attempting to secure the rights to create The X-Files and Sopranos video slots. Nonetheless, this time around, Microgaming pipped Playtech at the post when it came to the Game of Thrones deal and has now managed to build a firm relationship with HBO.
Jean-Luc Ferriere, who is the Chief Commercial Officer at Microgaming, announced how excited Microgaming is to extend its partnership with HBO and has promised that the development team tasked with designing and releasing the newest version of the Game of Thrones slot will be working hard to deliver a feature-rich gaming experience that will give fans of the HBO hit series an authentic Game of Thrones theme rich in features.
Here at Playcasino we have absolutely no doubt that this is exactly what Microgaming will do as the developer has done on numerous occasions in the past! We can’t wait to see this one hit the online slots scene and we promise you that we will be one of the first casino sites to play and review it in the Playcasino online slots review section.
