Game of Thrones: a licence fee you can see in the maths
No upright build, 2.6 seconds, and two licensed return builds that top out at 95.03%. Branded slots pay for the brand somewhere, and this is where.
The phone check
Sideways is the only layout and the buttons are built for it. Fine in two hands, awkward hanging off a pole on the subway. The demo pulls about 11 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.6 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
This title ships in more than one return build
Games Global (Microgaming) licenses 2 configurations of Game of Thrones. The spread from top to bottom is 3.02 points, which is about C$30 in expected cost per C$1,000 staked. Same reels, same features, different maths.
| Configuration | Return | House edge | Cost per C$1,000 vs the top build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest build the studio licenses | 95.03% | 4.97% | baseline |
| Lowest build | 92.01% | 7.99% | C$30 |
How to see which one you are on, in three taps
- Open the demo and tap the burger or the ⓘ in the game's own toolbar, not the casino's.
- Scroll the info panel to the bottom. The return figure is printed in the rules footer.
- Compare it to the table above. If it is not the top row, that is the build you are being served.
123 of the 306 titles on this board carry more than one build, so this is worth doing once per game rather than once ever.
95.03% is the good version
The other licensed configuration is 92.01%. A 3.02 point spread, about thirty dollars per thousand staked, and the house sigil free spins look identical either way. Both figures are below what an unbranded 243 ways slot from the same studio would carry.
Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 are the same arrangement with better top builds.
On the handset
No portrait build, controls fine sideways, thirty cents a spin, roughly 67 spins on a twenty. Medium volatility, 4,200x ceiling, 243 ways on a 5x3 board.
