Game of Thrones® Slots Casino Releases Dragons of Westeros Feature
Honoring Themes From the Iconic Series, Players Can
Raise Their Own Dragon to Aid in Their Quest for the Iron Throne
Zynga Inc. , a global leader in interactive entertainment, announced the initial release of a new feature, Dragons of Westeros, for the hit mobile game Game of Thrones Slots Casino, inspired by the acclaimed Game of Thrones television series from HBO®. This new feature begins rolling out today on the heels of the game’s one year anniversary, putting the most powerful beast from the realm into players’ hands.
In this new feature, players that have reached level 20 will receive an egg that incubates an infant dragon. Once born, players will name and feed their hatchling, growing it from hungry newborn to powerful creature, bringing fire and strength to their efforts to rule all of Westeros.
Through daily grants and by participating in quests and events, players will earn Dragon Actions. These can be used to light a fire under the egg to hatch it faster and to feed the dragon after it has emerged. Once fed, the dragon provides players with perks that increase in impact as it grows, from the Dragon Respin to an Hourly Bonus Multiplier. Players can speed their creature’s maturity by earning Dragon XP by completing quests, completing card collections and feeding their dragon. As the dragon levels up in size and strength, the rewards and benefits to the player will be more profound, and the creature will visibly change from hatchling, to juvenile, and in time, to mythic beast.
“The visual, dramatic and devastating impact of dragons to the world of Westeros was one of the most exciting, talked about, and beloved aspects of the series,” said Bernard Kim, President of Publishing at Zynga. “With the introduction of dragons, players will now be able to experience the strength, loyalty and fire of these legendary beasts, and we’re proud to continue to bring iconic touchpoints of the series to our players.”
In Game of Thrones Slots Casino, players are immersed in the epic drama, arresting dialogue, iconic characters and driving musical themes of the series. From cliffhanger moments across the Seven Kingdoms, to sweeping landscapes and locations like The Wall, the slots gameplay is infused with the fire and ice atmosphere of Westeros and its most illustrious inhabitants, including Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion Lannister as well as House Stark members, Sansa, Arya and Jon Snow.
Game of Thrones Slots Casino transports players to the realm of Westeros for an authentic, social slots experience, and is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play, Facebook and the Amazon Appstore.

Firesand launches Firesand Shield to combat rise in iGaming account fraud attacks

Firesand, a leader in iGaming security services and software, has developed a cutting-edge Anti-Account Fraud solution to safeguard iGaming operators and platform providers from escalating credential-based cyber threats.
Firesand Shield is a best-in-class product that has been designed to address the growing complexity of account fraud that has impacted the global iGaming industry in recent times, which in some cases has resulted in loss of business, damaged reputation and regulatory fines. Common examples of account fraud include credential stuffing, dictionary attacks, and common password exploitation.
The new solution provides proactive, intelligent detection and prevention against the full spectrum of account compromise techniques, without relying on user-disruptive CAPTCHAs or blunt blocking mechanisms, to ensure the end user experience remains uninterrupted.
Unlike legacy or bot-only detection tools, Firesand Shield leans on the company’s specialism as a penetration testing service provider to focus on attack patterns, regardless of whether the source is human, bot, or hybrid, offering unmatched insight and agility in protecting operator user accounts and platform integrity. It includes in-depth attack analysis and reporting to provide greater transparency and clarity over the source of each security vulnerability.
With a product upgrade roadmap that includes geolocation anomaly detection, VPN usage analysis, and AI-powered behavioural profiling, Firesand Shield is set to offer operators and platforms significant peace of mind to stay ahead of security threats as they evolve.
Chris Blake, Director at Firesand, said: “Account fraud is a growing threat to the global iGaming industry. There have been multiple cases in the previous year alone where user data has been breached, leading to a detrimental impact for businesses targeted.
“Firesand Shield has been designed to support operators and platform providers of all sizes to sharpen their security capabilities as these attacks become more common and sophisticated. Underpinned by our superior iGaming security excellence, we are well positioned to further strengthen online systems on a global scale.”
With a proven track record of developing bespoke security platforms for a range of industries, Firesand brings unmatched credibility and expertise to the iGaming space, combining technical solutions with practical, actionable defence capabilities for high-risk digital environments.
