Microgaming teases new Game of Thrones® online slot coming in 2020
Microgaming has announced plans to unveil a new Game of Thrones® branded online slot later this year.
The deal builds on a successful branded relationship with HBO that was penned six years ago when Microgaming launched its first Game of Thrones branded slot game in 2014.
Marked for release later this year, Game of Thrones™ Power Stacks™ will feature some of the leading characters and personalities from the hit HBO® series Game of Thrones, ready to lead players on a new pursuit for rewards through the world of Westeros. The branded slot is being developed by Slingshot Studios, an independent studio that is providing innovative, high-quality content exclusively for Microgaming.
Taking global mainstream audiences by storm, Game of Thrones is one of the most popular entertainment brands in the world. The genre-defining TV series has netted hundreds of award nominations and wins, including 160 Primetime Emmy® Award nominations with 59 wins, and seven Golden Globe Award nominations with one win.
The eighth season of the show reached phenomenal status, with the season finale being watched by 19.3 million viewers across all HBO platforms. The series has given rise to a number of officially licensed products, including the immensely popular slot game by Microgaming, available in both 243 ways and 15 lines.
Now fans of the series can look forward to a whole new Game of Thrones journey, as the latest title is set to join Microgaming’s award-winning portfolio of branded content. Microgaming will be celebrating its latest Game of Thrones slot at ICE London 2020.

ELA Games reports 201.9% betting volume jump in Greece over two quarters
ELA Games says it has delivered triple-digit growth in Greece over the last two quarters, reporting an 86.30% increase in active users, a 77.20% rise in turnover, and a 201.90% surge in overall bet counts.
The supplier attributed the results to aligning its content with local player preferences and said its Greece performance has been driven by certified titles focused on visual design and “narrative-led experiences.”
ELA Games named Piñatas Festival, Riches Express, and Flame Fruits Frenzy as its top-three performing titles in Greece during the period.
The company also linked the performance to a new strategic partnership with Fonbet in Greece. ELA Games said the integration creates an exclusive hub for its content and expands access to its catalogue for local players.
Yaroslav Soloshenko, Business Development Team Lead at ELA Games, said: “When we look at the numbers, it is satisfying to see that our regional strategy is paying off in such a big way. We spend a lot of time analyzing what players in specific markets want to see. Our unique design philosophy combined with that regional focus has resulted in proven commercial success across our main European markets, and Greece is a perfect example of that in action.”
