Today is the day. The big day as far as players at Microgaming powered online casinos are concerned. Today is the day that the Lord of the Rings new online slots game is released.
The official name of this new online slots game is The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring, but I think fans and slots players will simply refer to it by the first portion of its name.
Players who are familiar with Microgaming online slots game will remember the release earlier this year of the Thunderstruck II slots game, and how that slots game did not feature paylines. The new Lord of the Rings online slots game is the same.
That is right, there are no paylines to worry about and still 243 ways to win. Winning combinations are created when the same symbol is landed on consecutive reels.
Graphics-wise this is truly a cinematic online slots game. All nine members of the fellowship are in the game, and when a winning combination is made of a character, a shot video clip from the movie is shown.
Clips from the movie are also shown while the reels are spinning, giving some entertainment while waiting to see what has been landed.
To go along with the epic tale, Microgaming has given its new online slots game an epic Expanding Wild: the Eye of Suaron. When landed the enemy’s dreaded eye fills the reel and the sound of his voice saying, “I see you,” fills your ears. Very cinematic.
And who could forget the One Ring, the object of the entire trilogy. It is the Scatter and landing at least three One Rings will trigger fifteen free spins.
Unfortunately the Eye of Suaron is not available during the free spins, but players should not lose hope. Instead one reel is chosen at random to become an Expanding Wild for that free spin. Each free spin Expanding Wild plays a short video clip as well.
Also available are Stacked Wilds. The Stacked Wild symbol is the Lord of the Rings Logo, which offers an epic payout for the player who can fill the screen with all Stacked Wilds.
The new online slots game Lord of the Rings has definitely lived up to the excitement and hype surrounding the countdown to its release. Online slots players will truly enjoy this new online slots game, and US players will wish more than ever that they had a Microgaming online casino that would welcome them.
