Ladbrokes Online Casino announced they will have a five reel slot game based on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.  The game is probably going to be the biggest draw for the year considering how popular the movies were.  In addition to the popularity of the concept is the fact that there are 243 ways to win.  Players will be able to see their favourite characters on the slot reels.  Such characters as Gimli, Aragorn, Frodo, and even Legolas will be showing up on the reels.  Not only are there characters, but the typical ace through ten will also appear on the reels.

It is being advertised as the most graphically rich slot to hit online casinos, as well as the most innovative.  Microgaming has the honour of creating the slot machine for Ladbrokes Casino.  It will be powered by Cinematic Spins, which is a software programme offering movie clips.  These movie clips play in the background as the reels spin.  It makes the game more immersive than any other, as well as more exciting.  Expanding wilds with cinematic clips are part of this animated slot machine.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will be available to adults in countries only where online casinos can get licences.  It means those in the United States cannot enjoy the game, but United Kingdom players will be able to have a great time.

Players will follow Frodo as he goes out on his quest to destroy Sauron, the dark lord.  In the five reels Saruman, the Black Riders, and other characters not already mentioned will appear on the reels.  Some of the footage will have Ringwraiths attacking Weathertop, Uruk Hai in the woods, and Balrog in the mines.

Anyone wishing to play this game will find it at Ladbrokes Online Casino only.  It means you have to have an account at this site.  It is easy enough to get an account at Ladbrokes.  What one also has to keep in mind is if this first “movie” slot of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is successful chances are Microgaming will provide the other two movies as slots- The Two Towers and The Return of the King.  With 243 ways to win and plenty of movie clips it will be nearly impossible to get bored watching the reels roll by.
