THE LORD of the RINGS is a superb online video slot that has been developed by one of the leading software providers in the industry today, MICROGAMING. This is by far one of their better creations and this slot has 5 reels and 243 ways of winning.

The graphics are robust and very detailed, with a stunning background and innovative audio and special sound effects. The screen literally comes to life from the moment you hit spin. The tense music just adds to the suspense of playing and gives the players a more enjoyable playing experience.

There are basic number and letters that make up the symbols on the reels such as 10, J, Q, K and Ace, plus nine different characters that most players should recognise from the blockbuster Hollywood movie. These symbols fill up the rest of the reels, as well a few bonus symbols.

The LORD of the RINGS LOGO is a STACKED WILD and will substitute for all other symbols on the reels apart from the SCATTERED RING symbols, or the ALL SEEING EYE symbols. This wild will appear stacked in both regular play and during the FREE SPINS round.

Players can win Free Spins if 3, 4 or 5 of the scattered RINGS appear anywhere across the reels. A maximum of 15 free spins are available. During the free spins round, a random reel is also turned wild to help generate additional wins. If the All Seeing Eye appears anywhere on reel 3 (the centre reel) it will expand and transform the entire reel wild.

When the random reel turns wild, you will see GOLLUM performing a little dance as the prizes are rewarded. This game has various in-play animations and clips from the movie, adding to the overall gameplay and giving the game much more appeal. GOLLEM is actually quite active throughout this game, although he doesn’t have a particular role.

The BONUS WHEEL feature can also be triggered at any time while playing on this slot, depending on where you are playing. Once this bonus feature has been triggered, you will get to choose a tower and then the Jackpot wheel will start to spin for you and you will then be awarded with a huge Jackpot prize.

This game has the perfect blend of graphics, multipliers, free spins and a betting range to suit all types of player’s budgets. This is definitely the future of online slots and just because of the name alone, the Lord of the Rings video slot will surely attract a huge fan base of regular players.
