Microgaming has launched The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Online Video Slot game that uses HD cinematic scenes from the movie trilogy.

The Lord of the Rings video slot machine is part of a multi-year licensing agreement that Microgaming has signed with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution in 2009.
Players can enjoy seeing their favourite characters like Frodo, Aragorn, Saruman or the deadly Black Riders and they can see clips from the film at every spin, instead of traditional animated graphics. The slots feature famous scenes from the film, such as Balrog in the Mines of Moria or Ringwraiths during the attack at Weathertop.

If it appears anywhere on the third reel, the Eye of the Sauron will expand to cover the entire reel. The Lord of the Rings is a video slot machine with high payouts and a maximum jackpot of 1,900,000 coins.

“Microgaming has always been ahead of the curve with innovative offerings, but this game really does push the boundaries of what an online slot can do. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring looks and feels like an extension of the big screen film experience and we’re confident that our operators will see a great deal of demand from their players, when the game is released. This is an important deal for Microgaming and highlights our commitment to partner with the right brands, at the right time. The Lord of the Rings is one of the most successful and well loved brands on the planet and we are excited about combining this widespread appeal with Microgaming’s groundbreaking software,” says proudly Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming.

The Lord of the Rings generated $3 billion in worldwide box office and won 17 Academy Awards from a total of 30 nominations. The video game is an exciting extension of the movie trilogy.
