Play Lord of the Rings Jackpot for Free

We are quite sure that most of our readers (if not all) would already be getting ready to go into an intense overdrive, because Lord of the Rings and jackpot are two terms that seem to stick together as if they were made for each other.

So, if your love for this slot has already started blossoming, you would be very happy to know that the feeling is mutual. Microgaming, deviating from its usual norms, has made Lord of the Rings Jackpot a huge winning pit, by connecting over 150 online casinos that offer this slot into a behemoth of a progressive slot. Although it’s not on by default, the mere possibility of winning close to two million coins is news good enough to share!

Regular slot users would know that there are quite a few phony slot games floating in the vast web space that lure unsuspecting players into playing slots that have mega-hit themes like Star Wars, Indiana Jones or the Lord of the Rings.

This slot by Microgaming, however, is a 100% authentic take on the movie franchise created and marketed by Peter Jackson. As a result, some amazing graphics, exclusive movie clips and highly entertaining sound effects accompany the whole gameplay, making it the ONE and ONLY slot game with the LOTR theme you should ever be playing.

Well, apart from sheer class of entertainment, an out and out geek connection and a large dose of free time travel back to the Middle Earth, there’s a lot in it for players.

With its simple 5 reels and highly probabilistic 243 fixed ways of winning structure that Microgaming seems to prefer more and more these days, you will have very little to think about before actually spinning the reels.

If at all we are to go on a fault-finding voyage, we would complain about the number of coins allowed per spin, and the size of coins. While you can splurge 600 coins per spin, the max size of 5 cents per coin is rather underwhelming.

But to compensate it, the progressive nature of the slot means that if you are the lucky fish, you stand to bag 1.9 million coins at once!

If that can’t make your palms go itchy, we don’t know what can.

In the Middle Earth, wizards rules and magic is the norm. So, it only makes sense that this movie themed slot has some really cool magical symbols to turn a tepid spin into a hot, money-gushing waterfall.

The only wild symbol here is the logo of the slot itself. It can appear on any reel, and has the usual worldly powers of substituting for any regular symbol (lest we forget, the regular symbols are all character faces from the movie franchise – Frodo, Legolas, Saruman, Gandalf, Aragorn – you get the idea).

On a more interesting note, the scatter symbol of the Ring (ah, One Ring to Bind Them All!) can unlock a host of features – from 15 to 40 free spins and a bonus round (which, by the way, doesn’t turn up quite often).

In an overall sense of the word, the Lord of the Rings slot by Microgaming is a huge boost to the whole online slot industry that otherwise depends upon cheap imitations of already famous themes.

With easy gameplay (sans paylines) and a good deal of coins to be won, this deal couldn’t get better or sweeter. And if you are a fan of Tolkien’s writing or Jackson’s directing, this is one slot you should be returning to – through the thick of Mordor and thin of beautiful Shire!
