Microgaming announced on February 4th 2013 that it had signed an agreement with HBO Global Licensing to develop online slots based on the hit TV series, Game of Thrones. This Golden-Globe-nominated show is based on the best-selling series of novels, ‘A Song of Fire and Ice’, which was written by George R.R Martin.
Microgaming’s CEO, Roger Raatgever, said, “We are incredibly excited to have signed a licensing agreement for Game of Thrones, a highly relevant and extremely popular show.” He then added, “We plan on taking all of the features of the small screen fantasy epic to create a masterpiece of a slot. This will be a fantastic addition to our branded content games portfolio. Our operators and their players have plenty to look forward to this year!”
For those of you who made it to this year’s ICE Totally Gaming, at London’s ExCel Centre, you would have able to find out more about the new Game of Thrones slots, plus you would have also seen previews of some of Microgaming’s other new branded slots which should be arriving at some point this summer, which included a Terminator 2 themed slot and also several Jurassic Park themed slots.
To find out more about these currently unreleased slots, you can check out two of our other recently published articles (one from January 27th), entitled: Microgaming Secures another Licensing Agreement for more Branded Slots, and the other one was called: Licensing Agreement for Terminator 2 Announced by Microgaming (dated January 20th).
The Director of HBO Global Licensing, Josh Goodstadt, said, “Game of Thrones has a huge global presence online, and our partnership with Microgaming will extend the show’s reach into a completely new realm. We’re thrilled to be working with Microgaming, a giant in its field, and we have every confidence that the show’s active fan base will be very excited to find another new way to engage with the show.”
Microgaming has managed to develop an impressive range of branded slots with great titles such as Hitman, Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider – Secret of the Sword (also known as Tomb Raider 2), The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Hellboy, The Osbournes, Playboy and Battlestar Galactica. We will let you know as soon as any more details about either of these new online slots become available.
