Biggest Online Slots Re-launches of 2011
The year 2011 saw the re-launch of popular slot games including the Lord of the Rings slots, along with Marvel slots – Ironman 2 slots, Fantastic Four slots and The Incredible Hulk slots games.
When the Lord of the Rings slots was originally released, it went on to become an instant hit with slots players but fans of the book and films did notice something missing. The game featured all the characters from the LOTR series including Frodo, the Hobbits, Arwen, Aragorn, Bilbo, Legolas, Elrond, Galadriel and Gimli – all but one.
The Gollum was conspicuous in his absence in the slots game and the LOTR slots was soon re-launched with several exciting features including the randomly triggered Gollum bonus game in which the Gollum appears and hands out cash prizes to the player.
Other changes to the new version included a maximum free spins win of up to 4,860,000 coins instead of the previous 1,900,000 coins and of course, players could still see clips of the film thanks to the Cinematic Spins technology.
The biggest addition to the new LOTR slots was the inclusion of a four tiered progressive jackpot which is linked to the Mega Moolah slots game. The jackpot game is triggered at random and players have the chance to win the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Mithril progressive jackpots.
The Mithril jackpot has a reset value of 1 million coins, the Gold resets at 10,000, the Silver at 100 coins and the Bronze at 10 coins. In fact, the Mithril jackpot was won by a UK slots player three days before the year end at Platinum Play Casino, just three months after the LOTR slots had been re-launched.
The other big re-launch of 2011 also happened in September and Marvel slots fans could now play three slots games in a 50 payline version giving them additional chances at a win.
The three new games to be released as 50 line games were Ironman 2 slots, Fantastic Four slots and The Incredible Hulk slots games. The increase in lines also meant that players don’t bust out as quickly as they are spreading their bets over multiple paylines.
The Fantastic Four slots has always been a popular Marvel slots game with its many bonus rounds, each one themed on one of the four super heroes. With enhanced spins, freezing wilds, added multipliers and extra free spins – the newly re-launched game retains its popularity with players.
The 50 paylines Ironman 2 slots was originally launched earlier in 2011 but the new version packs even more of a punch. Three Iron Man symbols trigger a round of 10 free spins, beginning with a x2 multiplier that just keeps increasing and a wild in the very centre.
The Incredible Hulk slots game remains as exciting as ever with its Smash Bonus round, free spins round and the Expanding Hulk bonus game. And of course, the Marvel multi level progressive jackpots have ensured that player interest in these games remains at an all time high.
And there you have it – our list of the biggest re-launches of 2011. Up next is our review of the biggest progressive jackpots of 2011.
