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.

“The Game of Thrones brand has garnered a devoted following among viewers, along with incredible media attention. We are excited to extend our partnership with HBO to supply a new Game of Thrones online slot that honours and builds on the brand’s immense popularity. In the spirit of the show, we will be working hard to deliver a quality, feature-rich slot game so that players can enjoy an authentic Game of Thrones themed gaming experience.” – said Jean-Luc Ferriere, Chief Commercial Officer at Microgaming.

Prepare to set sail on a treasure-laden journey along the Nile in Sun Wind Cash Boat – the newest Premium slot thrill from the popular software developer, Swintt, featuring stacked wilds and an entertaining function tied to four local jackpots that can lead to monumental wins of 6,000x.

Set on a 5×3 reel layout with 50 fixed paylines, Sun Wind Cash Boast is a thrilling addition to the studio’s array of Egyptian-themed slots, showcasing a suitable selection of distinctive symbols such as swords, powerful Pharaohs, sculptures of the owl god Horus, and the iconic Queen Cleopatra.

In addition to these remarkable signature symbols, gamers will face unique pyramid wilds – which are piled up to occupy their complete reel and can generate several payline wins per spin – as well as radiant sun scatters, which are essential for activating the slot’s highly rewarding Cash Boat bonus.

Triggered when six or more of the latter icon show up in any reel position, players will receive three re-spins on a fresh set of reels that consists solely of blanks and multiplier scrolls. Above the screen, vessels filled with cash pots will pass by, and each time a scroll appears, it will freeze the reel and apply its multiplier to the value displayed on the ship above while resetting the re-spin counter.

This process will continue indefinitely, with all locked multipliers being re-applied to the prizes above them whenever a new scroll lands, until either all re-spins have been used or each reel has been filled. If players are lucky enough to have a scroll present on all ten bonus reels, they’ll automatically unlock the Mega Jackpot, though smaller jackpots can also appear during any spin.

At the end of the Cash Boat bonus, players will be returned back to the base game and will have the option to either collect their current winnings or gamble them for greater rewards in a simple pick feature that requires them to correctly guess the colour of a hidden card to double their prize.

Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With SwinttPremium slots, Egyptian themes and Hold & Win-style bonuses all proving hugely popular with players, we’ve managed to combine all three in Sun Wind Cash Boat! Featuring a new twist on the classic re-spin format where multipliers of up to 10x are constantly applied to an ever-flowing river of prizes, the slot has all the ingredients to be another fan favourite addition to operators’ line-ups.”

Gaming Corps has launched Fins of Fortune, its newest video slot that includes two rival Wild characters, coin-based prize symbols, and various Free Spins features.

Set in the dusky depths of the sea, Fins of Fortune centers its gameplay on the competition between the Shark and the Orca, as both animals emerge from the shadows in search of the ocean’s buried treasure. Set on a 4×5 grid featuring 1,024 winning combinations, the game ties its underwater theme to a distinct, structure based on ways.

Both Wild symbols are crucial in influencing the gameplay. The Shark Wild is found solely at the upper section of the third reel, whereas the Orca Wild can only land at the lower part of the same reel. While in action, each Wild can trigger a mix of Summon, Collect, and various prize-altering functions, affecting how the underwater treasures expand and change across the grid via Coins and Treasure Coins.

Coins may appear anywhere on the reels and can hold values up to x1,000 your bet, while Treasure Coins add extra prize levels such as Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega. Depending on the active Wild, Coin values can be added to, doubled, brought onto the grid, or gathered at the end of a spin, ensuring ongoing activity below the surface.

Free Spins can be activated by Wild symbols in the base game, with each character providing its unique Free Spins feature. In Shark Free Spins or Orca Free Spins, the particular Wild remains fixed on the grid throughout the feature, and Summon along with other prize-altering mechanics, like Adder or Double, are triggered more often. When the opposing Wild appears during these modes, the game advances to Fortune Free Spins, with both Wilds secured and extra spins given.

Viacheslav Pechernyi, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “With Fins of Fortune, the aim was to let the theme do more of the work. The Shark and Orca aren’t just visual characters: they influence how prizes build, how features trigger and how the Free Spins modes unfold, creating a game that feels structured but still unpredictable. It’s a strong addition to our 2026 launch schedule and sets the tone for what’s coming next.”
