If you are Lord of the Rings fan then you are absolutely going to love this news! Microsoft and Warner Bros are teaming up to offer the Lord of the Rings triology slots. The agreement gives Microgaming permission to develop online video slot games using animation material, themes and characters from the motion pictures The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
As a competitive person I like this news as the Microgaming deal matches the Playtech movie slot deal (ie The Gladiator Slot). The competition between these two casino software heavy weights just going to get more intense and the only outcome will be is better quality slot games for us slot lovers. Producing movie based slot games is not a new idea but this competition between the two casino software companies is fairly new.
You have to wonder about the future of movie slots. We tend to think that at the time of the launch of a movie when the movie houses are promoting the begeeses out of the new movie that they will release a slot game at the time of the launch of the movie.
The launch date of the Lord of Rings slot is not yet known but keep an eye out for this slot trilogy as it is going to be good. For the full press release visit Microgaming.
