JackpotCity Casino, Lucky Nugget Casino and Gaming Club are but a handful of the top-tier online casinos playing host to this stellar video slots game. KeyGambling has the scoop on this exciting game.

Lord of the Rings resonates with book and film enthusiasts the world over. This multi-billion dollar franchise has stolen the hearts of action-adventure fans and thrill-seekers the world over. Now the magic of Lord of the Rings is coming to Microgaming online casinos and players are in for an absolute treat.

Enter Frodo Baggins and all your favourite characters

From the moment you start this 5-reel video slot adventure game, you’re in techno-heaven. That’s because the audio/visual components of LOTR are top-tier. There is a perfect fusion of the movie magic (in moving animated backgrounds) juxtaposed against a world-class gaming backdrop. The result is a thrilling video slot game replete with all the big-hitting pomp of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Players will be able to see all their popular stars in Aragorn, Saruman and of course the deadly Black Riders. It’s all happening in this sizzling-hot action-adventure game.

What I particularly enjoyed about the game are the multiple references to the memorable scenes throughout. Enjoy riveting scenes such as the Ringwraiths during the blistering attack at Weathertop to Balrog in the Mines of Moria.  It’s all happening in this blockbuster game. Recall that the movie franchise has taken in over $3 billion to date and the series has chalked up 17 Academy Awards. If you follow the game closely you’ll even see the Uruk-Hai in the woods of Middle-Earth. There are 243 ways to win and three stellar casinos that I recommend playing this game at: Lucky Nugget Casino, Gaming Club and Jackpot City Casino.

It’s obviously a football themed video slot centred around the soccer World Cup and will no doubt help you get in the mood for the ensuing football frenzy that is about to grip the globe come June this year. In the lead up to the World Cup in South Africa, its available at a few different online casinos including Jackpot City for example. This is a 5-reel game with 15 pay lines. There is a ball symbol which is the wild and can substitute for any other symbol except for scatters and bonuses. If you get three of the whistle symbols, on the other hand, the Free Spins Bonus Game will be triggered. If you happen to have five trophy symbols appear, you get to the Free Kick Bonus Round where there is no option of missing the goal posts! With the World Cup just around the corner really, this is one way to have a bit of the action right in your own home and perhaps even enjoy a few prizes. This is not a progressive jackpot but is still enjoyable to play nonetheless and comes recommended.

There are scores of online slot machines these days cashing in on the cult-like following that Tomb Raider has generated. Microgaming is the software provider for the Tomb Raider themed slot game so you can expect first class graphics. The game itself has a number of impressive and entertaining features (such as a wild and scatter symbols) although it is not a progressive slot machine. There are five reels and fifteen paylines.  There is a free practice mode so you can give it a try with pretend money before playing with real hard earned cash. There are also two different bonus feature games, as opposed to the regular one available with other Microgaming slot games. Should you be lucky enough to hit three Lara Croft symbols, you win 10 free spins. Coin sizes range from 1 cent to a dollar and the maximum number of coins you can use are 75. Thus, the betting spread is 75c to $75. 7500 coins are the jackpot total.

And now finally after months and months of qualifying games and competitions between July and October, and the highly anticipated and competitive finale that took 11 days to complete, the winner has been announced!! One lucky player from South London, Stefan (alias Pattoned), is the winner taking home the enviable 1 million euro jackpot!  He was just one of thousands who entered the qualifying games and apparently qualified back in July with a tiny 2 Euro bet!

The final tournament was the cult-favourite Tomb Raider slot game with over 8,000 players competing fiercely. Apparently Stefan played for days until he finally posted the winning score on his birthday to scoop the history-breaking jackpot as his birthday present to himself! Some 481 other players pocketed some winnings from the total juicy prize pool of 1.3 million Euros.  In fact, the runner up, Rick H, shouldn’t feel too hard done by with his tidy €50,000 prize.

After months of excitement and buzz amongst the online slot community, Microgaming has certainly staked its place in the history of online gaming by creating the first ever online slot tournament millionaire.

Check out these impressive stats:

  • Microgaming powers over 120 casinos and 40 poker rooms.
  • Microgaming runs the world’s largest jackpot network – a total of 25 progressive jackpots.  Having been founded in 1990, its one of the oldest in the online gambling industry and there’s no doubt that it’s here to stay.
  • Microgaming has paid out over $250 to its players since it was established.

It continually offers players new and innovative games and is widely regarded as setting the highest standards within the industry for fair and safe gaming. One of the casinos that it supports that I enjoy playing at is the Fortune Room Casino
