Game of Thrones Slot Review — RTP, Features & Where to Play in Canada 2026

By Claire Bennett, Editor-in-Chief — Last reviewed: May 2026

At a Glance

Game of Thrones is a branded slot developed by Microgaming (Games Global) under HBO licence. Based on the globally popular television series, the game launched in 2014 and comes in two versions: a 15-payline variant and a 243-ways variant. The provider-documented RTP is 95.00% — somewhat lower than the top-tier MG titles but representative of the branded slot category where licensing costs affect the return profile. Canadian players at MG-track casinos will find this a solid choice for fans of the series.

How Game of Thrones Plays

Microgaming released Game of Thrones in two distinct versions: the 15-line version and the 243-ways version. Both use 5 reels but differ in their win mechanics.

The 15-line version awards wins on specific fixed paylines — only symbol combinations on those 15 predefined paths count. Bet sizes vary because the player stakes across 15 active lines per spin.

The 243-ways version uses the same always-active win structure as Thunderstruck II, Immortal Romance, and Avalon II — any matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right form a win. All 243 combinations are active on every spin.

Both versions share the same visual theme: the four Great Houses of Westeros — Baratheon, Lannister, Stark, and Targaryen — are represented as premium scatter symbols alongside a lion (Lannister sigil), wolf (Stark sigil), stag (Baratheon sigil), dragon (Targaryen sigil), and the Iron Throne. The Game of Thrones logo acts as the Wild. Lower-value symbols are card suit icons themed to the series.

Each House scatter symbol can trigger that House's specific free spin mode (see Bonus Features). The RTP of 95.00% applies to both versions — verify which version is available at your chosen casino.

RTP and Volatility

Games Global publicly documents Game of Thrones' RTP at 95.00% (source: Games Global game information documentation). This is the lowest RTP among the MG-track titles in this batch of reviews. At 95.00%, the game returns approximately $95.00 for every $100 wagered over a theoretically large number of spins. This figure is below the 96%+ range that defines the high-RTP tier in our catalogue.

The 95.00% RTP is likely influenced by the HBO licensing cost and the additional complexity of the four House-based free spin modes, which add feature engineering cost to the product.

Volatility is estimated as Medium by our editorial team. This is an editor estimate — Games Global has not published a formal classification. The multiple free spin modes with distinct mechanics offer a spread of variance profiles within the single game.

Bonus Features

House Free Spin Modes

Four free spin modes are available, each tied to one of the Great Houses. They are triggered by landing the corresponding House scatter symbol (Baratheon, Lannister, Stark, or Targaryen) during base game spins.

House Baratheon — 8 free spins with a 5x multiplier. All wins during these spins are multiplied by 5. A straightforward multiplier mode.

House Lannister — 10 free spins with random wilds. During each spin, between 2 and 4 random symbols are converted to wilds before the spin resolves.

House Stark — 15 free spins. A jackpot-style prize can trigger randomly during these spins, awarding a fixed multiplier of the triggering bet.

House Targaryen — 18 free spins with a 2x multiplier. The most free spins of the four modes, with a base 2x multiplier on all wins.

All modes can retrigger with additional scatter hits during free spins. The mode triggered depends on which House scatter activates the bonus.

Sword Scatter Pays

In the 243-ways version, the scatter symbols (each House's sigil) pay scatter cash prizes based on total bet when two or more appear anywhere on the reels — even without triggering the free spins mode.

Where to Play in Canada

Game of Thrones is available at MG-track approved brands on best-casinolist.com. These Games Global–powered casinos hold licences accepted by ROC Canadian players.

Note which version (15-line or 243-ways) is available at your chosen casino — they can differ by platform. Branded slots are subject to licence renewals; verify availability before depositing.

Stakes, Max Win, Strategy Considerations

Bet ranges are operator-dependent and differ slightly between the 15-line and 243-ways versions. Check the casino lobby for current stake levels.

The maximum win is not published as a headline figure by Games Global. The House Baratheon 5x multiplier mode combined with favourable symbol positions represents the game's strongest single-spin ceiling across both versions. We flag the absence of a published max-win figure as an editor-estimate gap.

No betting strategy alters the 95.00% RTP. Play for entertainment at affordable stakes.

Mobile Playability

Game of Thrones is built in HTML5 and is fully mobile-compatible without any app download. The HBO series visuals and music adapt well to mobile screen sizes. Both the 15-line and 243-ways versions are available in mobile lobbies at all MG-track casinos listed above.

Responsible Gambling Note

Even with a branded title, slot mechanics carry the same statistical structure as any video slot. The 95.00% RTP means approximately $5 of every $100 wagered goes to the house edge over the long run. Set deposit limits before playing and use session time reminders. Self-exclusion tools are available at all casinos listed above.

Frequently Asked Questions
