"At Blueprint Gaming, we're focused on bringing some of the world's most recognizable entertainment brands to players through our House of Brands portfolio, and Game of Thrones is one of our most ambitious launches to date," said Charlie Jacka, Product Director at Blueprint Gaming.
Jacka added, "The game captures the iconic characters, the soundtrack and world of Westeros while delivering a highly engaging slot experience. We're thrilled to bring this experience to US players."
The U.S. launch follows a strong debut in Canada. The game first launched at BetMGM Casino in Ontario in April, where the operator said it set records across various performance metrics.
It was later introduced in Alberta after that province's regulated online gambling market opened in mid-July, becoming one of BetMGM's top-performing games there.
Independent research firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming ranked Game of Thrones fifth among Canada's top-performing new online casino game launches.
The slot is built on a six-reel, 4,096-ways-to-win layout and features a persistent Money Collect system that evolves as players progress. Player progression carries over between gaming sessions.
Players unlock powers tied to the show's legendary Houses Stark, Lannister, Baratheon and Targaryen on a journey toward the Iron Throne.
The game includes dragon modifiers and an Iron Throne Bonus, triggered by three or more bonus symbols, which awards 10 Iron Throne Spins and potential cash prizes.
It also offers four fixed jackpots: Mini (20x), Minor (50x), Major (200x) and Mega (2,500x).
To mark the launch, BetMGM Casino is running promotions including bonus spin offers, sweepstakes, leaderboard competitions and daily prize opportunities.
A $25,000 leaderboard competition is scheduled from October 5 to 11. Borgata Online said it will award up to 10 million bonus spins throughout September to celebrate the game's arrival.
The game adapts the setting and storylines of the Emmy Award-winning HBO series. BetMGM said the title is exclusive to its two brands in the U.S. market.
