Game of Thrones Power Stacks Review
Game of Thrones Power Stacks is a 5-reel, 40 payline TV/Movie-themed slot developed by Microgaming and Slingshot Studios. Based on the legendary television series of the same name, this slot is all about two very special features! The Power Stacks feature and the Link & Win feature. What's more, this slot can not only see players win 25,000x their stake but also one of four fixed local jackpots!
Design
This awesome branded slot is fully licensed and features absolutely everything you'd expect from a Game of Thrones title. Behind the game reels players are treated to beautiful landscapes from around Westeros... When we were playing we saw the frozen wastes beyond the wall and the coastal city of King's Landing, home to the Iron Throne.
Low paying symbols in Game of Thrones Power Stacks are the banner of the Great Houses of Westeros: House Greyjoy, House Stark, House Lannister and House Targaryen. High-paying symbols are characters from the show: Tormund Giantsbane, The Night King, Sansa Stark, Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow. Special symbols in Game of Thrones Power Stacks include an Iron Throne scatter symbol and a TV-show logo as the wild symbol.
In terms of the soundtrack, a dramatic orchestral score taken straight from the show plays... When the free spins bonus feature is triggered the famous Game of Thrones title song composed by Ramin Djawadi plays. It makes from some absolutely epic gameplay and yes, we were humming along as our free spins played out, we guarantee you will as well!
Gameplay
This slot is a little bit chaotic in terms of layout but once you've made a few spins you'll get your head around it all. On the left-hand side of the game screen there's a four-tiered jackpot tracker and below that is a Power Stacks indicator, which shows which symbol can be stacked across an entire reel for that spin.
On the right-hand side of the game reels is a hamburger menu (which opens stake selection, autospin and turbo spin options), a spin button and a '. . .' button that opens up the game's paytable, features and game rules.
Win Potential
This high volatility slot has an RTP of 96.20% and a maximum win potential of 25,000x the player's stake which is pretty damn good! If you've got the bankroll to sustain long-term high volatility gameplay then this slot is worth a spin!
Our Verdict
We're always excited for new branded slots, especially ones based on arguably the greatest television shows of all time! Power Stacks are a fun feature that, and Link & Win is even better! We genuinely found ourselves on the edge of our seats with each and every spin in the hopes of triggering one of the two features. The massive win potential of 25,000x was just the cherry on the cake.
