A huge announcement was made recently which absolutely will excite a lot of people, both slot machine fans and those who are devoted watchers of the popular HBO television series Game of Thrones. This kind of slot release is the type which might convince operators of non-Microgaming sites such as the Jackpot Grand Casino online to finally make the leap and adds Microgaming software to their sites, as it is going to be such a big release that any site which is able to edit right from the very beginning is going to experience a huge surge in players.
The award-winning television series made its debut on HBO in 2011 and is now looking forward to its fourth season, following the intrigue between Kings, Queens, knights, nobleman, and renegades as they try to claim the chance to sit on the Iron Throne of Westeros, the Royal seat which is vacant when the king dies right at the beginning of the series. It is based on the bestselling book series A Song Of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin, and has a dedicated fan base around the world. It received even further accolades and became even more popular when the television series based upon it began, and is now very much ubiquitous as the topic of conversation on social networking sites and around the office cooler. “We are incredibly excited to have signed a licensing agreement for Game of Thrones, a highly relevant and extremely popular show,” said Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming. “We plan on taking all of the features of the small screen fantasy epic to create a masterpiece of a slot. This will be a fantastic addition to our branded content games portfolio. Our operators and their players have plenty to look forward to this year.”
“Game of Thrones has a huge global presence online, and our partnership with Microgaming will extend the show’s reach into a completely new realm,” said Josh Goodstadt, director of HBO Global Licensing. “We’re thrilled to be working with Microgaming, a giant in its field, and we have every confidence that the show’s active fan base will be very excited to find another new way to engage with the show.” We can certainly expect some very exciting graphics along the lines of the recently released Avalon II, which is showcases some stunning animations and true 3-D depth. Along with images and video clips from the show, as well as the use of sound clips and soundtracks taken from it, which also see some innovative features which tie in with the themes of the show and the books and make use of the content therein. It is not yet clear when we should expect this slot machine game to be released, but one thing is absolutely for sure – when it does arrive, it will be one of the most awaited slots of the year, perhaps even more so than the launch of Avalon II at the ICE Totally Gaming conference.
