Blueprint Gaming Takes on Westeros with House of the Dragon Slot
Blueprint Gaming, one of the most active studios in the branded slot space, has released a new title based on House of the Dragon — the Game of Thrones prequel series that follows the Targaryen family’s bloody struggle for the Iron Throne some 200 years before the events of the original show.
According to a review by Bigwinboard, the slot does a reasonable job of capturing the look and feel of the series. Dragon Syrax features in the animations, four main characters from the show appear as high-value reel symbols — including Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower — and Targaryen imagery runs throughout the design. It is not described as a cinematic experience, but the source notes it “reproduces the show’s spirit quite well.”
Mechanics and Maths
The game runs on a 5x4 grid with 20 paylines, paying left to right from the leftmost reel. Stakes run from £0.10 to £50 per spin, making it accessible to a wide range of players. The headline RTP sits at 94%, though this figure can vary between operators, so it is always worth checking the game info panel before you spin. Bigwinboard classifies it as medium-high volatility and awarded it 4 out of 5.
Wilds land on the three middle reels and substitute for most symbols. Cash Prize symbols can appear across the grid, and Collect symbols sit on the outermost reels — when a Collect lands, it expands and sweeps up the values of all visible Cash Prize symbols.
Features
The headline feature is Dance of the Dragons Spins, a free spins round awarding 10 spins with up to five Pot Enhancements active. Landing three or more scatters in the base game triggers this round outright, while one or two scatters may also activate it but are not guaranteed to do so.
The Dragon’s Wheel is a special Cash Prize symbol that, when it lands alongside a Collect symbol, launches a mini-reel feature offering multiplied Cash Prizes between 5x and 100x in the base game, rising to 5x–150x during Dance of the Dragons Spins.
Syrax Strike Modifiers can fire randomly when a coin lands on a symbol, adding a further layer of volatility to the base game. An optional Express Bet raises the stake by 20% in exchange for a better chance of triggering the free spins, though Blueprint has not published the exact improvement in probability.
Is It Worth Playing?
Bigwinboard notes that the slot is effectively a reskin of Blueprint’s earlier Red Hot Catch title, meaning the gameplay framework will feel familiar to anyone who has played it before. The licence clearly carries much of the weight here.
For UK players who enjoy branded slots and are fans of the show, it offers a polished enough experience. As always, play within your means and treat it as entertainment. For more on the latest releases, head to our casino news section, or read our slots guide if you are new to how these games work.
