Game of Thrones Power Stacks

If you've been yearning for the return of Daenerys and her dragons, then Game of Thrones Power Stacks could be what you've been waiting for. The new online slot from Slingshot Studios brings the bloodthirsty maiden back to life, reuniting her with a whole host of other characters from the hit show. But battle well, and you might end up with a happier ending than most in Game of Thrones as there's a substantial prize of x25,000 which could be won. 

Although this slot is being marketed as a creation of Slingshot Studios, it’s worth noting that they’re part of the Microgaming family. This means that all the might of the global studio is behind this release, including the innovative new Power Stacks mechanism, which they have trademarked. You can expect more Power Stacks titles to follow in the months ahead, but this game sits very nicely with the existing catalogue of Game of Thrones slots from Microgaming. 

There's a majestic feel to the reels, but that doesn't mean there will be any escape from the usual death and debauchery. You'll be playing on a 5x4 grid which includes an impressive 40 paylines. Surprisingly, the betting range is modest, with a min bet of 0.20 and a max bet of just 20.00. However, the high volatility might help to make up for the narrow range, and of course, there's the magnificent top payout of x25,000. 

Although there is a series of books available, this slot is based on the world-famous HBO TV series. In the background, players will spy King's Landing, with players battling it out for the Iron Throne. As a fully licensed slot, the photographic images are taken directly from the show, plunging players right into the middle of the battlefield. 

There's no messing around with mundane card symbols here for the low pays. Instead, there are four of the emblems from the great houses: Targaryen, Lannister, Stark and Greyjoy, which pay up to x2.5 for a full line of five. The high pays are where the stars arrive: Tormund Kingsbane, Sansa, The Night King, Jon Snow and of course, Daenerys.  

The wild symbol has its own value, offering x25 for a row and x1000 for a full screen. However, it can also do the usual stand-in for any regular symbols to make more matches. 

Microgaming and Slingshot are very proud of their new Power Stacks symbol, and there are likely to be more slots released that feature this mechanism. On the left of the reels, you'll notice a counter that displays one of the symbols; this display changes with every spin. This is the Power Stacks counter, and the symbol that is being displayed will land stacked on that turn. Power Stacks apply to every reel, so it's possible you could end up with all five reels stacked with the same symbol on each. That only means one thing: big money! 

But there's more than just the Power Stacks for those that dare to venture to the Kingdom. Land three scatters, and you'll be transported to the Iron Throne itself to play out 15 free spins. All wilds are stacked during these bonus spins, and wins are doubled, all played out to the familiar notes of the Game of Thrones theme song.  

Back in the base game, the Link&Win feature is popular with players. You need six or more coins to land, a move that will instantly lock them in place. You'll then get three respins for the rest of the board to try and land more coins. You'll get extra respins when you land another coin, and once you've used up all your respins, you'll receive the value of the coins on the board. However, if you manage to fill up every reel with coins, you'll get a whopping x2500-x5000. 

You'd expect any GoT game to be daring, full of intriguing twists, and this slot from Slingshot Studios doesn't disappoint. Game of Thrones Power Stacks offers different prizes at every turn, giving players every excuse to head to Westeros for some themed fun.
