Forbidden Throne drags us deep into fantasy land - with ice, fire and themes that make you think of Game of Thrones. While the game loads, the background is a gothic stone window. Then the main screen comes up - fantastic graphics, set against a mysterious landscape of mists and mountains. There are five wild reels - these are full height, brilliantly realised images. There are two guardians: Wulthor, the Lord of Fire, looks every inch the young prince, holding a sword. Sorconass, the Ice Queen, is a scantily clad vision in ice blue. There's a phoenix, a shining silver unicorn, and a remote castle perched high on a rock. At least one of these expanding wilds will appear on every spin, both during the main game and during any free spins. That's not all that's different though. There's a beautiful round orb that's a cross between a jewel and a luminous golden stone. This is the scatter, and it can sit on top of the wild reels. When you see three, four or five of this stone, it triggers the free spins.
