The Carmen Media online casino group has announced the imminent release of the latest Microgaming blockbuster slot “Lord of the Rings – the fellowship of the ring.”
Widely anticipated as one of the landmark branded games to be released by the industry this year, the slot is themed on the fantasy novels of J.R.R. Tolkein, popularised more recently by the epic Peter Jackson directed movie.
The Carmen Media release reveals that the new slot will offer players over 243 ways to win, and includes the famous Lord of the Rings characters in a graphically rich, innovative and exciting presentation. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring online slot will be available only to adults in countries where online gaming is permitted.
In the online slot game, players follow the Hobbit “Frodo Baggins” as he sets out to ensure the destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron. The five reel online slot will have unrivalled game graphics and include beloved characters from the film, such as Frodo, Aragorn, Saruman and the deadly Black Riders; along with some of the film’s iconic footage, featuring Ringwraiths during the attack at Weathertop, Balrog in the Mines of Moria, and Uruk-hai in the woods of Middle-earth.
Lord of the Rings will be powered by Cinematic Spins – a software program that allows movie clips to act as moving backgrounds behind the reels during spins. This offers players an unprecedented level of excitement and immersion. Win sequences and expanding wilds also make use of cinematic clips, instead of traditional animated graphics.
