Games Workshop, the owner of the tabletop strategy game Warhammer and the European licenser of Dungeons & Dragons, is paying staff around $8,600 each as a reward for surging sales at the group.

The gaming company announced it was paying out an £18 million ($22.9 million) bonus to all its staff after reporting a 16.9% profit surge last year.
