Blueprint Gaming Wakes Syrax for House of the Dragon Slot

Nate U · 30 September 2026

Blueprint Gaming has followed its record-breaking Game of Thrones slot with a second trip to Westeros, and this time the Targaryens are firmly in charge. House of the Dragon landed on UK slot sites on 24 September, bringing a dragon-shaped wheel, a temperamental beast called Syrax, and a fair amount of egg-based chaos to the reels.

What’s been released

Blueprint Gaming released House of the Dragon on 24 September 2026, the second entry in its HBO-licensed series developed with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.
The game follows on from the studio’s original
Game of Thrones slot, tying in with the prequel series whose third television season finished in August.
Blueprint has been keen to point out just how well the first title performed:
the preceding Game of Thrones slot, released in March 2026, became its strongest-ever global launch in seven of its top 10 markets.

According to slot database listings,
House of the Dragon runs on 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 fixed paylines, with a 10p minimum bet per spin and a maximum of £5 a spin in the UK, or £2 for players under 25.

It carries a 94% RTP rate and offers up to 3,000 times the stake as a maximum win.
As with its predecessor, Blueprint has produced several RTP configurations for operators to choose from, so it’s worth checking the paytable at whichever site you’re playing on.

How it plays

The core of the game is a money-collect system built around a spinning wheel.
The Dragon’s Wheel is triggered when a scatter symbol lands alongside a collect, with Dragon Emblems on a mini wheel awarding cash values of up to 150x the stake, plus additional spins. Reaching the top prize unlocks the Dance of the Dragon Spins Bonus, in which all Dragon Pots are active.

Landing that bonus is generous from the off:
the feature initially grants 10 spins and at least one of five egg enhancements from the pots.

During the feature, further enhancements can be triggered, including multipliers of up to 10x applied to cash prize symbols, or a bonus play mode in which only cash prize, bonus scatter, and collect symbols appear on the reels.

Sitting alongside the wheel is a second layer of randomness driven by the dragon herself.
A secondary modifier layer is driven by Syrax, the dragon from the HBO series. Coin symbols landing randomly during the main game or the Dance of the Dragon Spins can awaken Syrax, which then awards one of several outcomes.
Those outcomes span quite a range, from extra scatters through to full-reel changes: possible modifiers
can change the next stage of play in different ways, with some adding extra bonus scatter symbols, while others introduce cash prizes, collect symbols or wilds, and a cascading effect can also be triggered.

Where it fits

House of the Dragon is very much a sequel rather than a standalone branded title.
Rather than being just another licensed game for Blueprint, this slot is effectively a sequel to the first, with House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones both taking place in the same universe.
That’s a deliberate strategy on Blueprint’s part:
licensed IP is increasingly central to how slot studios differentiate their catalogues, with major entertainment properties offering operators both brand recognition and built-in player familiarity,
and
the arrangement gives operators access to connected, franchise-led content on a rolling basis, rather than a single standalone branded release, a model that has become increasingly common among major slot studios.

Blueprint’s marketing director framed the launch as a natural continuation of that momentum, saying the studio was thrilled to bring another corner of Westeros to life after the reception to the first game, pulling together
“a host of mechanics that capture the intensity and spectacle of the Targaryen dynasty.”
For UK players who enjoyed the collect-and-wheel structure of the original Game of Thrones slot, House of the Dragon offers a familiar framework with a distinctly fierier bonus round, and it slots neatly into what’s shaping up to be a busy year of HBO-branded releases from the Merkur Group studio.
