Key Points
Alberta marks the second Canadian launch for the Game of Thrones digital title, having first arrived in Ontario during April
Players attempt to unlock the ‘sigils’ of each Westeros house, which introduce modifiers to enhance prize collection

BetMGM has debuted its online Game of Thrones slot in Alberta through the operator’s iCasino platform, representing the title’s second Canadian launch after being introduced in Ontario last April. 

According to BetMGM, the Game of Thrones digital title has generated “record-setting” engagement and performance metrics in Ontario since launch, and mirrors the design of the well-known television series. 

The launch was made possible through BetMGM’s collaboration with Blueprint Gaming – which provides the core Money Collect mechanic for Game of Thrones – as well as the operator’s partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences. 

Players attempt to unlock the “sigils” of each Westeros house, including House Stark, House Baratheon, House Lannister and House Targaryen, which introduce distinct modifiers to enhance prize collection. 

At the end of July, BetMGM expanded its portfolio of iCasino content in Alberta with the launch of Aristocrat Interactive’s Lightning Link High Stakes slot title, following the province’s newly regulated online gambling market going live on 13 July.

“Very few slot franchises have achieved the staying power and player recognition of Lightning Link,” BetMGM Director of Gaming Rob Passerino said. 

“Lightning Link High Stakes brings a casino-floor favorite into the digital experience for our Alberta players and reflects the type of premium, proven content we want BetMGM Casino Alberta to be known for: recognisable games, compelling features and entertainment rooted in the energy of Las Vegas.”

The Aristocrat Interactive slot title continues its online rollout in North America with the launch on BetMGM Casino Alberta, having originally debuted across casino floors over 10 years ago.

Lightning Link High Stakes offers multi-denomination play, cash-on-reels and a ‘big reel’ feature during free games, as well as shared progressive jackpots and hold & spin mechanics.
