Got an email from Betway with just one line " the king of all slots" - coming soon (more or less when I translate) and then a picture of a golden ring..
In the fineprint you can read that all rights are reserved to The lord of the rings (amongst others)

anyone know anything else about this slot and when it will be released?
 
Sounds like maybe more than one game?

Microgaming, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, has announced that it has signed a multi-year licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, to create a series of cutting-edge, graphic rich video slots, based on the popular The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, for internet gaming to adults in countries where online gaming is permitted.

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.
 
I think it might be a multi slot, that start from lord of the rings 1 and then shifts to number 2 a new kind of slot.... like we see it from Rival :)
Would be awesome.... and 110% payout please :lolup:
 
I'm guessing it will be another Thunderstruck II clone. I bet that's a big money maker for the casino.

It's been featured on the MGS stand at expos. I believe a launch date later this year is probable.
 
I asked MG when at EGR and they said probably around November but intimated that signoff with the brand owner on various bits and pieces could be a drawn out process.
 
Let's not start soiling our pants just yet.

We all got excited about Thunderstruck 2.

I quickly tired of that game, falling into a deep coma while playing my 3rd session on it. Such was the boredom.

I woke up to find my head in a pool of drool, with the imprint QWERTY on my forehead and all of my money gone.
 
and how many posts did u infect with this?

he is on the run....soon enough, some of the mods will show up and have to clean this mess after him...

P.S. Marie...please edit your post and change his hyperlink..if you leave it this way, youre helping him to preserve it here.

And it only took about 7 years after the trilogy was released to make a slot game out of it.... of course it probably took 6 of those years to get through the 17 endings and all the credits.

Someone should start a new thread about what other movies would make good slot games.
 
thunderstruck 2 is awesome, bet small wait for it ot get hot and bet big! i have done awesome on that game many times. hated it when it cam eout now it's first on my list when i play.
 
...to get through the 17 endings.

OMG that let the last film down big-time. What a yawn!


Mid-September is now the planned release date apparently but wouldn't surprise me if it was a bit later.

Sounds Like Thunderstruck III and if it pays like Thunderstruck II, with wildstorms that pays 0 and free spins that pays 1X betsize in total, then it will become a big dissapointment.
 
Out of interest, has anyone seen the WMS B&M version of LOTR that was released in 2009 in Vegas or anywhere? Looks like the Star Trek game with the special chair/headset speakers which was awesome...just wondered what it was like? Sounds the business.
