You don’t have to be a JRR Tolkien fan to enjoy playing the all new Microgaming, Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring video slot, but it helps. Let’s face it, this is the ultimate fantasy tale, and has been hailed THE book of the 20th century. Recently launched in early September, the game has been in the making for quite a long time – since early 2010. Microgaming has the license to produce the entire trilogy so we can also look forward to The Two Towers and the Return of the King at a later date.
One of the most unique features of this game is the new trademarked Cinematic Reels™, and this state-of-the-art technology has been used in a Microgaming slots previously in Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds. Essentially clips from the actual films play, while the reels are spinning. The rest of the game is cutting edge digital technology which faithfully reproduces all the characters we have come to know and love, or fear.
The design and release of LOTR has provided Microgaming with a strong strategic edge over all other online casino games software developers. World-wide these films generated more than $3 billion in box office takings and it was nominated for a record 30 Oscars!
It is a five reel video slot game and instead of the traditional pay-lines, offers 243 random ways to win. The Eye of Sauron substitutes for all other symbols making it the wild and the maximum bet is 20 coins of varying ranges. The maximum prize in LOTR is 8 000 coins and it also feature scatter symbols and free spins which may be re-triggered. As it is still such a new game, there are various online casinos offering exciting promotions based on Lord of the Rings.
