Spinner Rules
There are now nine levels instead of
three.
- You can only increase the level of your spinner up to how many house modes you have completed plus one.
- When the spinner value is increased the value grows based on what level your spinner is at. Each level grows the spinner faster.
- Each ball the spinner starts a level one.
- Completing the three bank of targets bumps you to the next level.
- Each drop target hit increases the value of the spinner.
- Hitting the battering ram sometimes also increases the value of the spinner.
Quoted from beeker3000:You can make everyone to play the same House of your choosing via game settings. Or force random House selection.
You can make all play same house or play random house's.
Quoted from jlatko:You can also now complete the current house mode(s) by capturing a castle in the upper playfield.
This is the only change I don’t like. I fear that players (especially in tournaments) will go for the upper playfield every time instead of playing through modes. I hope the current behavior can still be chosen (make the upper playfield targets complete shots).

One disadvantage to trying to complete houses from the upper pf is that you won't get the bigger points for actually working through the mode traditionally. I agree that this would make a good setting to turn on/off.

No need to turn it off. Crappy players will get to iron throne more easily, although their score will suffer. Advanced players will have more verity in how they score huge points.

This is my biggest dissatisfaction as well. I liked being able to use the playfield to capture the castle and aid in the completion of the house. It nerfed the score a bit, but you could do most of the house and then just use that for an easy out, especially on Tyrell and Greyjoy. With this change, you will get jack for completing this, or have to play 50%+ of the house before doing this to still get a decent score.
Does anyone know if Hand of the King or Iron Throne rely on score earned during a house to set jackpot values? Or is HotK just based on which houses you complete, not how well you did during them? And I have only been to Iron Throne once, so I have no idea how that works.
Thanks!
Quoted from atum:Does anyone know if Hand of the King or Iron Throne rely on score earned during a house to set jackpot values?
No effect.
Quoted from atum:Or is HotK just based on which houses you complete, not how well you did during them?
This is correct.
So a new strategy could be to blast through the houses as quick as possible and just try to rack up a huge Iron Throne score and HotK along the way. Would be interesting how those scores compare to getting 5 or 6 houses the legit way.
Tie the Iron Throne and HOTK jackpot values to the number of “earned” shots for all completed houses, problem solved.
Missed this originally, but on a re-watch of the stream, the new action button powers are a game setting that can be toggled on/off. Not sure if this means the castle loop will still finish houses when collecting a castle. Probably.
Game of Thrones new code reveal stream was yesterday.
Thanks to Dwight from Stern and Jack from Deadflip. Reveal was insane! Summary:
Most houses have a new action button power. This is a game setting. These new powers can be turned off in settings to use the old familiar rules.
Stark can finish the current house mode with a direwolf once per ball. If fighting Targaryen, it will only kill one of the 3 dragons.
Lannister can purchase playfield multipliers with gold, which time out eventually just like before. 500 gold per multiplier. 2x = 1K, 3x = 1.5K, 4x = 2K and 5x = 2.5K. Existing Max multiplier rules still enforced, based on houses completed. They also earn even more gold than before.
Baratheon can light a temporary Lord of Light save on both outlanes once per ball with the action button. Baratheon also advances battle for the wall each time the player drops the three Baratheon drop targets.
Tyrell can access Iron Bank once per ball at a greater value than before, and multiplied by playfield multipliers.
Martel is still add a ball once per ball.
Greyjoy doesn't have its own new action power, but now you inherit the house action power of the most recent house you plundered.
Targaryen is now a playable house! They can pause all timers for 15 seconds once per ball. They also spot themselves as a completed house like Greyjoy, so you don't need to fight the dragons at all to progress.
Really cool changes that will make it easier to advance to Hand of the King and Iron Throne for sure.
You can also now complete the current house mode(s) by capturing a castle in the upper playfield. If fighting two houses in a mode, both can be defeated this way at once. If fighting Targaryen, only one dragon can be killed this way.
Castle multi-ball has been revamped, and is easier to progress to. The castle loop shot is lit on a new ball entering the upper playfield for a short timer. If you hit the shot, you advance one level towards castle multi-ball automatically. New super jackpot collected at castle loop during castle multi-ball. Castle loop also increases upper playfield multipliers.
There will be "lots" of new callouts, but no new animations. New visual effects added also.
No new modes or content from new seasons.
Random mode for selecting starting house.
Upper playfield now has playfield multipliers independent from the main playfield, and these stack together up there, being multiplied. So 3x upper playfield and 5x lower playfield gives you 15x upper playfield.
Baratheon target/spinner exploit tougher to exploit. Now spinner value can only be advanced to the number of houses you have completed + 1. Completing the 3 bank of targets increases spinner level.
You can purchase 3 of the new house action powers during spend your gold mode. Martel, Baratheon and Tyrell. Once you purchase a new ability, you lose your old ability. You can only ever have one action ability at a time.
More stuff too, but I'll let others chime in.
Quoted from jlatko:You can purchase 3 of the new house action powers during spend your gold mode. Martel, Baratheon and Tyrell. Once you purchase a new ability, you lose your old ability. You can only ever have one action ability at a time.
I wonder if the lock bar button changes color to match the power you’ve acquired.
Reason I ask is that I made a custom under cabinet light that changes to match the buttons color. Currently it basically stays the same color as the house you picked at the beginning of the game, I hope it’s a little bit more interactive.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:I wonder if the lock bar button changes color to match the power you’ve acquired.
Yes it does.
Quoted from jlatko:Lannister can purchase playfield multipliers with gold, which time out eventually just like before. 500 gold per multiplier. 2x = 1K, 3x = 1.5K, 4x = 2K and 5x = 2.5K. Existing Max multiplier rules still enforced, based on houses completed.
With Lannister to get to 3x is it 1.5k total? Or is it 1k to get to 2x and an additional 1.5k to get to 3x (2.5k total)?
Quoted from atum:Or is it 1k to get to 2x and an additional 1.5k to get to 3x (2.5k total)?
This.
Quoted from chuckwurt:This.
Thanks chuckwurt! I thought that was what it showed on the stream, but with the gold amounts not shown all the time as Lannister, it is hard to tell without having your hands on the game.
Loved your stream by the way. Very informative to really see it in action!
Yeah Lannister is probably the hardest one to grasp. I just try to keep my eye on the button. It will only be red when you have enough gold to buy the next multiplier.
Quoted from atum:So a new strategy could be to blast through the houses as quick as possible and just try to rack up a huge Iron Throne score and HotK along the way. Would be interesting how those scores compare to getting 5 or 6 houses the legit way.
Spot on. This is probably the biggest thing that I am looking forward to discovering/understanding. My personal hope is that if a player chooses the less risky path to the Iron Throne by blasting through the modes via the dire wolf and/or from the safety of the upper playfield, that the scoring will be a strong reflection of that as compared to the player that takes the risk of completing the modes from the main playfield shots (I would guess/hope that the playfield shot multipliers will have a big role in assisting with that). If there is no major scoring bonus for going through the modes fully on your way to the Iron Throne, then I worry the game will get to be very repetitive and some of the fun will be lost.
Getting to the wizard mode on any game is a big deal, whether you are a good player or not. It's nice to see that a more novice player will have an opportunity to see and experience the awesomeness that is the Iron Throne. Hopefully the scoring and rules balance where the skilled player will WANT to go for the shot modes and play them out on their way to the Iron Throne and that the repetition of the upper playfield is not always their preferred path to that awesomeness. Choices are always nice, it's gonna be fun rediscovering this game and all the new choices and decisions that will come with the new update.
Side note - I'm super excited to see that every house now has their own action button ability, that really takes it to the next level. I also love all of the extra nuance that Dwight added to the upper playfield - - it's truly an integral part of the game now and really gives it justification and reason for being in the game. I have absolutely ZERO regrets on my original GOTLE purchase. An incredible story has it's own incredible pinball machine.
No scoring changes were made to any of the modes including the wizard modes.
However, the player that plays the modes out on their way to IT will have way higher scores than the one that doesn’t.
For example: Stark mode. Use the dire wolf and get exactly 5mm for that mode. Play it out for points and you can get hundreds of millions.
Baratheon mode. Dire wolf will get you exactly 5mm for the mode. Play it out and crazy scores are possible. There was an over 500mm collect on my stream from a player playing it out.

How many points are typically rewarded during HOTK and Iron Throne if you play them decent and collect the super jackpots? A couple billion? Enough to overshadow 300+ million Stark mode or 500+ million Baratheon mode? Let's just say a player does well on all 7 house modes with 200 mil each, that's only 1.4 billion more than if you speed your way to the finish line and there's the risk (and likelihood) that you won't even reach the Iron Throne. Where as if you choose Stark right off the bat and can blow away a house on every ball and safely complete others on the upper playfield, you have a very high likelihood of getting a billion or more out of HOTK and another billion or two out of Iron Throne. Maybe I have my values all off as well - I'm having a hard time remembering how many points are typically scored those two wizard modes.
I wonder how many times in a game a skilled player will be able to go through the game and go to those wizard modes and collect billions of points on each trip... Maybe you have a little insight on this being a beta tester? Curious if you've tried to see the fastest method and how many times you can get to the Iron Throne in one game.
In any case, it'll be exciting to play. Makes me wonder if the new update will feel a little bit like Star Trek in a way, where you can choose to play the first level modes and get to Kobayashi Maru fairly frequently or play vertically and get to see and experience more of the game. Will be awesome for those of us with the game at home.
Quoted from T-800:I'm having a hard time remembering how many points are typically scored those two wizard modes.
HOTK can be 100mm, or billions. Usually closer to 100mm than billions. Especially if your skill level requires you to wish away modes to get there.
Iron Throne you can pretty much count on at least a billion with the add a balls it gives you.
These added advantages are most definitely to allow more novice players a shot at the wizard modes. Also they provide a quick path to HOTK for competitive players if they feel they can consistently blow it up.
Quoted from T-800:I wonder how many times in a game a skilled player will be able to go through the game and go to those wizard modes and collect billions of points on each trip... Maybe you have a little insight on this being a beta tester?
Remember you can only wish away a mode once per ball. While this will help on your way to your first iron throne, you’re on your own the next trip through.
Well, it'll be fun to work through all the different choices and see what pays off the most in the end!
Do you happen to know with Targaryen's house ability, if you hit the button right before the ball save timer is ending, will that be extended by another 15 seconds per the action button benefit (or is that only for traditional game features)? If so, I could see this as acting almost like add-a-ball and really being a big help in the multiballs.

Does not extend ball savers. It does freeze hurry up values though.
Quoted from atum:@chuckwurt When choosing a house do they have a callout for "Fire & Blood" upon selection? If not, please pass along to Dwight that it needs it if they can find a clip, even if its not by the Hound.
I can’t recall, but every house has their own callout for when you select it. I do not believe they are changing those.

Games will now persist ALL SETTINGS after a software update. This
functionality will be available in the game release AFTER the release which

- Correct the delay between multiple Q24 knocker requests. Previously the
knocks would happen too rapidly and sound like a single loud knock. Now
there will be a 3/4 second delay between knocks. If the sound effect
knocker is also enabled, it will be synchronized with the Q24 knocker.
- Updated COIN DOOR EDITOR to display the selected settings and whether they
are the FACTORY default or CUSTOM configuration.
- Added Custom Coin Door Editor.
You can specify the UNITS PER PULSE for the base coin and the number of
PULSES generated by each coin switch (left, center, right, 4th, 5th,
6th). The UNITS have a range of 1 to 10000 and PULSES have a range of 0
to 100. For example the USA coin door has a UNIT of 25 and the left and
right slots generate 1 PULSE and the center slot (the DBV) generates four
PULSES. The coin mechanisms accept quarters and the DBV dollars.
Therefore, the UNIT is 25 (for 25 cents) and the left and right generate
1 PULSE for a single quarter and the center slot generates 4 PULSES for a
dollar bill being four quarters.
If Standard Adjustment "Game Pricing" is changed to a selection with
different UNITS PER PULSE than the active CUSTOM coin door, the custom
coin door will be reset to the factory default for that Game Pricing
selection.

Good Lord! I just spent about 2 hours playing the new code! Holy Crap! The light shows are incredible! There are TONS more call outs, not just 2 or 3. The new rules are sweet and I have a long way to go to experience all of them. A few things I noticed:
1.Playing as Stark, I finished the first two levels of Targaryen, then while playing the 3rd I used the Stark button. It finished Targaryen and Dire Wolf awarded 20M, not just 5m.
2.While playing as Baratheon, I was getting multiple Lord of Lights without using the button. And the settings are set on "Once per game". It could have been a bunch of pop awards but I've never seen that many LOL's in a single game.
3. I'm not a fan of the backbox lighting effect cutting in and out. At first I thought something was wrong with my game, but then I realized it always did it at certain times. It will take some getting used to.
4. I noticed with Baratheon the spinner builds the value MUCH faster, but it caps at 275M. Also, the timer is shorter. But I literally had it maxed at 275M with about 3 or 4 spinner shots.
5. Don't worry about Stark making it too easy to get to Iron Throne. It does make it easier to get to HOTK, but at a sacrifice of some major points. I Starked my way to HOTK and choked by getting only 105M from HOTK.
6. Castle MB and the effects and call outs getting there are incredible!
7. Dwight, YOU ARE THE MAN!
Three things I have noticed after playing my GOT tonight and I think could you some tweaking are
1 Maybe nerf winter is coming multi ball it's too valuable at the moment I was getting two or one billion just from playing it.
2 Maybe nerf castle multi ball a bit it seems just a bit too valuable I just started grinding it out sending the ball back up top to get castle's.
3 if you want to play this game safe it seems you can finish most of the houses on the upper PF I preferred it when you had to do it the hard way playing the whole house out.
Other then those three things this I a great update I love all the additions and Dwight has done a great job.
My take away from my 6 games last night:
1. This game is so amazing now with all of the extra effects and things going on with the playfield, callouts, etc.
2. The game is WAY TOO HIGH SCORING! My high score over about 500 games on my LE was 2.5B. On game three with new code I scored 10.8B! About 8B of that was from Iron Throne. I had made it to Iron Throne one time and scored 230M, but this time got down to one shot left to finish off the entire thing.
3. The Upper Playfield castle completing modes needs removed and reverted back to the old way with just making the house easier, or higher to build values. The way that this is today, you just go and try to blast through modes and score 500M to 1B and get to Iron Throne as quick as possible. Really makes games drag, with an average game for me being about 15 minutes (longest was 35), which makes my wife bored with how long she has to wait.
4. chuckwurt There are quite a few bugs that made it into this version. What route to you recommend for getting this feedback to Dwight and Stern?
Here is my strategy from my big game last night, which I used again today and got 5.7B (double my 1.34 code high):
House: Stark
Ball 1: Qualify either Targaryen or Greyjoy (preferably both) and then start the modes. Play through Targaryen 1, and then use the Dire Wolf on Greyjoy if needed to wrap it up. Preferred route is to get to upper playfield and just castle kill both modes. Then move on to as many modes as possible. The first four should be Targaryen, Greyjoy, Lannister and Tyrell (for max HotK value). Two cycles of HotK with SuperJackpots is 1B+. Then keep going after Targaryen, and then move onto something else if you are onto the final dragon. Always make Tararyen top (so that if you drain you can kill it off).
Ball 2: Finish up the rest of the houses, which should be relatively easy and then kill off the other modes (it looks like you cannot use dire wolf to finish the final house before Iron Throne - or this is a bug). Collect your extra ball along the way. Make sure to save Targaryen for second to last and use Stark to imediately beat Drogon, and then finish the last mode like normal.
From there just blast through Iron Throne as much as possible and try to start over again.

Totally agree. This was the one thing I was not happy about when I heard it on the stream, and proved to be true. You can get through modes super easy, and it becomes a game of "how big are your wizard modes" not "how good are you at the game".
Quoted from atum:4. chuckwurt There are quite a few bugs that made it into this version. What route to you recommend for getting this feedback to Dwight and Stern?
Quickest way would be to pm me and I can let Dwight know. But @apollyon tested the premium a bunch so I’d pm him to let Dwight know.
Can anyone hear the entire quote that says"....... piss myself....."? It sounds like Robert Baratheon. Was it from the boar hunt, maybe? Lots of great new quotes. My favorite so far, coming out of HOTK and Tyrion says " I was very happy as Hand of the King".

You PM'ed me this morning about your thoughts, and I PM'ed you back an hour later that I had emailed them to Dwight.
Not sure what else you wanted...

Yaa! That was my idea! I thought it was a perfect quote and funny as hell.

It is in the right spot. Right before the joust.

I posted this first and Chuckwurt responded giving me your info. That's how I knew your name and thus passed it along, as he suggested.

I see that now from when you posted in this thread. All good now!
Has anyone had issues on their Prem/LE of your ball getting stuck under the Castle? Without taking the castle out, I cant tell of there is some diverter confusion during game play. It happens when the ball goes down the right diverter for the arrows. 4 times so far on mine. All coils are firing during test.

No problems here.
This code is incredible. I know there has been a lot of grumbling about Lannister being too strong now. So far for me, it hasn't been. Playing as Greyjoy now is quite the thinking man's game. It's hard enough right now to remember all the new button abilities, but when they're changing throughout the game it becomes very strategic as to when you take which house, etc. And then you think you've got this awesome thing lined up and you hit the button expecting one thing and you get another, because you forgot that you defeated another house!
Side benefit to Targaryen is being able to take the perfect storm into HOTK. Targ, Greyjoy, Tyrell, Lannister. I'd only been able to pull this off a few times on the old code. Tonight I did it two games in a row. HOTK scores were 3.4 billion and 7.099 Billion!

There’s not much under there to get hung up on. My guess would be a wire from the underside of the upper playfield is hanging down and getting in the way. I’d take it off and make sure everything is zip tied tight.
