How does the four-house free spin feature work?

At the free spin trigger, players choose one of four noble houses — Baratheon, Stark, Lannister or Targaryen. Each house awards a different combination of spin count and multiplier, ranging from 18 spins at 2x to 8 spins at 5x.

Is the Game of Thrones pokie still available at online casinos?

Availability has narrowed. Microgaming's HBO licence lapsed in 2019, so the title is increasingly rare at operators who refreshed their lobby since. Some offshore casinos still stock legacy builds of the game.

Q: What is the RTP of the Game of Thrones pokie?

The Microgaming Game of Thrones pokie runs at approximately 95.01% RTP on both the 243-ways and 15-line versions.

Game of Thrones pokie by Microgaming — four-house free spin selection screen

The Game of Thrones pokie is the slot Microgaming built when HBO still wanted to sell the show to anyone who'd pay. Launched in 2014 under an official licence, it shipped in two versions — a 243-ways-to-win build and a 15-payline variant — each carrying the same four-house free spin selection screen that gave the title its identity. At the trigger, you pick Baratheon, Stark, Lannister or Targaryen; the expected value is equivalent across all four, but the volatility and the theming vary dramatically.

A word about availability: Microgaming's HBO licence expired in 2019, and the pokie was formally withdrawn from the studio's catalogue. Casinos that refreshed their game libraries after that date usually don't carry it anymore. Some offshore operators still host legacy builds, and that's where Australian players looking for the title tend to find it.

At a glance

Officially licensed Microgaming pokie with a four-house free spin selection. Mechanics are tight and the licence material is used throughout — house sigils as high-paying symbols, the Iron Throne on the reel frame, scenes from the show as animation backdrops. Availability has narrowed since the 2019 licence lapse.

How Game of Thrones plays

Two versions, same core design. The 243-ways build drops traditional paylines — matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel pay regardless of row position. The 15-line build uses fixed paylines with traditional left-to-right matching. Both use the same paytable and the same feature.

High-paying symbols are the four house sigils — direwolf (Stark), stag (Baratheon), lion (Lannister), three-headed dragon (Targaryen). Below them sit the Iron Throne, the crown and the raven; 9-to-A royals round out the low end. Bets run from A$0.30 on the 15-line version up to A$150 per spin at most casinos.

Bonus features

Iron Throne scatter — three or more trigger the free spin selection screen. The scatter pays out regardless of line position.
Four-house free spin selection — the headline feature. Pick from: Baratheon (8 spins × 5× multiplier), Stark (14 spins × 4× multiplier), Lannister (10 spins × 5× multiplier, on 243-ways version), or Targaryen (18 spins × 2× multiplier). Different volatility profiles, equivalent expected value.
Stacked house symbols — during free spins, the sigil of the chosen house stacks on the reels. Stark's direwolf stacks most generously; Baratheon's stag less often but at higher multiplier.
Gamble feature — red/black or suit-guess on any base-game win, up to five consecutive gambles allowed.

Theme, graphics and sound

The licence material is used thoroughly. Reel frame is forged in Iron Throne ironwork; between spins, the background cycles through map panels of Westeros. House feature animations use licensed music cues — the Stark theme plays through the direwolf free spin round, the Targaryen theme accompanies the dragons. For anyone who watched the show, the audio-visual package is faithful to the source.

Mobile play

The HTML5 build runs well on phones, though the feature-selection screen is notably richer in landscape than in portrait — the four house shields display better side by side than stacked vertically. Stacked wilds read clearly on either orientation. Quick-spin is standard; autoplay is available on the base game but locked during feature selection (you have to actively pick a house).

FAQ

What is the RTP of the Game of Thrones pokie?

Approximately 95.01% on both the 243-ways and 15-line versions.

Which house should I pick at the free spin selection?

Expected value is the same across all four. Targaryen (18 × 2×) is the smoothest ride, Baratheon (8 × 5×) is the highest-variance option, Stark (14 × 4×) sits in between. Pick by the feel you want, not the maths.

Is the Game of Thrones pokie legal?

Playing existing copies at offshore casinos is legal from Australia under the same rules that govern any other online pokie. The licence expiry applies to Microgaming's right to distribute new copies, not to players' right to spin existing ones.

Is there a jackpot on Game of Thrones?

No progressive jackpot. The title pays on line/way wins and the free spin multiplier, with a published max-win ceiling around 12,500× stake on the Targaryen feature.
