New Osbournes slots game launched
The eagerly-awaited Osbournes video slot game has finally been released by its makers Microgaming after a long period of development.
Given their high profile, the family were seen as the ideal brand to bring slots to a new generation of gamers as well as provide a colourful alternative for established enthusiasts.
While the Osbournes first came to global fame through their MTV show, since then they have all branched off to pursue successful careers, with Sharon judging her fourth series of the X Factor on UK screens while daughter Kelly is currently treading the boards in London’s West End.
“The developers at Microgaming have done a fantastic job at bringing all our family to life within the game and they’ve even managed to immortalise my beloved dog, Minnie! I’ll certainly have a little flutter when it’s launched,” said Sharon.
The game, which is to be rolled out in casinos across the world, is a five reel 20 pay-line slot jam featuring a number of free spin options, on-screen trails and big cash prizes.
“This announcement isn’t just about one of the biggest game launches of the year, but one of the biggest game launches since this industry started - from any software provider,” said Roger Raatgever, Microgaming’s CEO.
“To be launching a video slot featuring one of the most famous families in the world just shows how far into the entertainment industry we’ve come and long may it continue.”
