Launch details

Game mechanics and features
Blueprint Gaming designed House of the Dragon to centre the player on the Targaryen dynasty. The title introduces the new Dragon’s Wheel feature, which elevates the Collect model associated with the supplier’s portfolio. Other notable mechanics include Dance of the Dragon Spins with Dragon Egg upgrades that modify the reels, as well as Dragon’s Chest, Dragon’s Fire and Dragon’s Lock, which provide expanding symbols, specialised reel layouts and respin sequences.
“House of the Dragon gives us an exciting opportunity to leverage our experience creating games around some of the most recognisable entertainment franchises in the world,” said Charlie Jacka, Product Director at Blueprint Gaming.

After regulated iGaming opened in Alberta in July, Game of Thrones became one of BetMGM Casino’s top-performing titles in that province. Eilers & Krejcik Gaming ranked Game of Thrones among the most successful new online game launches in Canada.
