The Best Themed Slot Machine Games of 2010

The leading software developers like Microgaming, Playtech and 888 Random Logic showcased a sound selection of entertaining movies in 2010 as slot machine games. A number of memorable themed slots were released throughout the year but the highlights included Lord of the Rings, Pink Panther, Hellboy and Rocky.

The pick of the bunch, however, would undoubtedly have to be the Lord of the Rings slot game released by Microgaming and obviously based on the legendary blockbuster movie. In case you missed the buzz, it defied all expectations thanks to the backgrounds, graphics and cut-aways pulled directly from the visually mind blowing trilogy of movies. Lord of the Rings also offered players an extensive range of bonus games and fabulous opportunities to win.

Another themed slot to deservedly catch the limelight was Pink Panther which was released in around August and stirred up many nostalgic childhood memories for players. It was a hit too thanks to being complete with all the lovable characters from the old 1960 classic film and series including Pink Panther himself and Inspector Clouseau.

Rocky also enjoyed an online revival as result of being recreated into a slot machine by Playtech. Let's say that Rocky was a knock out with its bounty of extra features and became a highly sought after title. Last but by no means least, the Hellboy slot machine was another Microgaming invention released in early 2010 that was spinoff of the hugely popular film and comics.

In closing, the year 2010 was the year for themed slots but the crowning glory providing hours of quality and magical entertainment was Lord of the Rings.
