Stern Pinball has announced the release of its Game of Thrones-inspired pinball machines.

GoT

Each player can choose to be a Knight of the Stark, Lannister, Greyjoy, Baratheon, Martell, or Tyrell family Houses, picking other Houses to battle. Guided by the voice of Game of Thrones actor Rory McCann (The Hound), players are challenged to try and rule the seven kingdoms of Westeros.

The machines come in Pro, Premium and Limited Edition versions. All three models feature an animated, interactive dragon that roars, flies and breathes fire on the LED-lit playfields.

Players can slam the ball into the battering ram, attempting to break down the castle doors to grab features such as Super Jackpots, Wild Fire, and playfield score multipliers. The animated mechanical Sword of Multiball holds back reinforcements until it’s time to attack. A bank of three Drop-Targets lights the Lord of Light Lanes to protect against side drains.

Players can win random awards and features with Reel Pops, a new software mechanism, by playing the Pop Bumpers and spinning three virtual spinning reels on the display. When three identical symbols line up the player is awarded the prize shown on the reels. An action button is featured on the front molding for the largest array of interactive play features ever seen in a pinball machine.

The Game of Thrones Pro model includes all the above features and seven multicolour shield inserts that represent the great Houses of Westeros and special shots on the playfield.

The Premium and Limited Edition models differ from the Pro model in that they feature a castle upper playfield with a second set of full size flippers. An elevator brings the ball up to the castle where the players can find the Iron Throne and battle against Houses and dragons.

The Limited Edition model delivers all the play features of the Premium model, while also featuring a Certificate of Authenticity, a numbered plaque, a designer-autographed playfield and a hand-drawn cabinet.
