UK Machine Record
Stern · 2015 · at 5 UK venues.
Game of Thrones turns Westeros into a strategic pinball battle between the major houses. George Gomez designed the machine around choosing a house and competing for control, giving the player a level of strategic choice that makes it stand out from many licensed games.
The various houses provide different objectives and advantages, while the major characters and locations become part of the game’s progression. The result is a machine that rewards planning as much as shot accuracy.
The temptation is to chase whichever house is currently lit, but the better approach is to think about the overall game you’re building. Choose your allegiance carefully; once you’ve picked a side, play to its strengths.

The house you pick at the start is not a skin. It hands you a permanent ability and a button power you can fire once a ball, and it changes what a good game on this machine looks like.

Strategy tips written by players on PinTips , not by Silverball. Best-voted first.
Shooting the battering ram over and over increases the playfield multiplier - stack this up with Super Jackpots or mode completion shots.
Playing as Greyjoy will make completing modes more difficult - especially Stark. On the flipside, they can be more lucrative.
Completing top lanes advances towards wall multiball. Green targets on right light locks at the center ramp for blackwater multiball.
If you pick House Greyjoy you can win other houses powers, shoot orbits to get Martell ready. Battle with them to earn their add-a-ball pwr
House Lannister accrues gold more quickly, and the button will trade gold for a playfield multiplier advance (can be used 8 times per game).
Lannister is a tough house/mode to play (yellow standups) - stack it with a MB to more easily beat that gold loving house!
Choosing House Stark makes Winter Is Coming more valuable. Also, the Action Button will complete a running mode once per ball.
Choosing House Targaryen completes all 3 dragons (or 2 in Competition Install). Also, the Action Button will freeze timers for 12 seconds.
When playing as Targaryen, you can use the button once per ball to freeze all timers for 20s. This can be useful in Blackwater multiball!
in 1.17 code, after you drain out of MB in Blackwater, if you have SJP Lit, it'll be worth 60M +! Always claim Light SJP from mystery too
Short plunge ball as many times as needed to get ball on desired flipper. Use free ball save to hit Lord of Light drops for outlane ballsave
Hitting "ice" colored shots three times starts a Winter Is Coming hurry-up. Collect four hurry-ups to start Winter Has Come MB.
