On the most recent game rankings on slotsSpot.com,"The Lord of the Rings" has made it into the top five, so I wanted to feature it in this blog post.

Lord of the Rings is probably the most complicated slot game ever made, so I thought I'd walk you through some of the features offered.

The lord of the Rings has 8 unlockable bonuses, including Gandalf's Fireworks, Garden Heist, The Prancing Pony, Arwen's Rescue, Isildur's Sword, The Balrog, Galadriel's Stairway and Uruk-hai Battle Bonus. Players who hit jackpots move up different "levels" that trigger movie clips and bonus games based on those scenes.

For example, the bonus called the "Prancing Pony" incorporates a scene from the first movie in which the hobbits enter a tavern and encounter ghostly horsemen known as "Ringwraiths." Players touch the screen to select beds in the tavern, winning a cash bonus for each bed that remains unscathed by the Ringwraiths. The ghostly screeches of the horsemen, programmed to stab beds in the tavern at random, blare loudly from speakers embedded in the game's custom chair.

The Lord of the Rings slot also allows gamblers to collect trophies as they play, such as battle armor and jewels. And players who have progressed through any of eight levels can save their games so they can start in the same place the next time they play.

The game will let players collect and use Power Spin to enhance the outcome of a spin, ant the player decides when to use these spins.
