Profile

Game of Thrones is a Stern Pinball machine licensed from the HBO series, designed by Steve Richie with code by Dwight Sullivan. Released around 2015, it features RPG mechanics, character selection systems, and a notable mechanical topper with animated wings and sigil integration. The game received significant post-release code updates and exists in both Pro and Premium versions, with the Premium featuring a larger upper playfield that some players find obstructive.
