Ladbrokes Casino to launch The Lord of The Rings slotmachine

The game, which promises to be the biggest launch this year for Ladbrokes, offers players over 243 ways to win, will feature The Lord of the Rings characters and promises to be one of the most graphically rich, innovative and exciting slot to date.

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.

The Lord of the Rings players follow the Hobbit, Frodo Baggins, as he sets out to ensure the destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron. The five reel slot will use images and video clips from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring to bring the game alive.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will be Ladbrokes Casino’s latest branded slot game since “Hellboy” in February and to celebrate the launch Ladbrokes is promising to run an exclusive offer for new and existing customers. This online slot game is the first of the trilogy to be released and is the first of three new, exciting additions to Ladbrokes’ online casino. The second and third are due to be released in 2011.

The slot will be powered by Microgaming, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, who provide Ladbrokes Casino with all their online slots.

Charlie Goodenough, Head of Marketing for Ladbrokes Casino, said: “We are really excited about The Lord of the Rings online slot. It will be the biggest launch across the whole industry in 2010 and we can’t wait. The films were some of the most popular ever made and we know the slot is going to be just as amazing and take the gaming industry by storm.”
