Microgaming, the leading privately owned casino game developer that provides a full featured software platform to online casinos worldwide has decided to remove the popular video slot game, The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, from all online casinos within the next few days.
The Lord of the Rings which was based on the popular trilogy was launched by Microgaming in the summer of 2010 and was featured on many of the Microgaming powered online casinos.
Online casinos have been informed by Microgaming that The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring video slot game will be removed from its games repertoire before the end of this month.
The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring has proven to be an enormous success since its release at the online casinos and it is not known why Microgaming has decided to remove the game from the online casinos. It has been speculated that the removal of the video slot game could possibly have something to do with royalties.
The news of the removal of The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring has shocked many of those involved in the industry due to the fact that the video slot was only released in the year 2012 and became a slot game classic immediately after its release. The video slot game was released with great fanfare and became popular amongst online casino players from day one.
It is presumed that Microgaming will soon be releasing exciting new games that will undoubtedly draw new interest.

All Slots online casino has announced that two Canadian players at the site hit progressive jackpots on the popular Microgaming slot machine Cash Splash this month.
One of the winners, Cathy S of Trenton, Ontario, won a whopping 63,795 Canadian dollars wagering on the five-reel version of Cash Splash at All Slots online casino on Saturday, 5th May, 2012 which was one of the biggest jackpot hits in the history of Cash Splash. Everyone in Trenton which is a tiny town on the north shore of Lake Ontario is very proud of Cathy’s good fortune.
Yet another lucky winner, Elsa J of Inuvik, Northwest Territories managed to win 30,268 Canadian dollars by hitting the progressive jackpot on the five-reel Cash Splash online slot at All Slots Casino on Friday, 11th May, 2012. This was the second time that Elsa had won the Cash Splash jackpot. Elsa’s previous win of 12,317 Canadian dollars was during April, 2011, while playing at All slots online casino.
Inuvik is a town located 200 kilometers north of the Arctic City. It has 24 hours of daylight during summer and 24 hours of darkness during winter with the minimum annual temperature often being minus 57 degrees Celsius. It would appear that Elsa would find it rather difficult to wager on online casino games in Inuvik.
According to the Press Desk at All Slots online casino, there appears to be something special going on with Canadian players and their fantastic luck at 5-reel Cash Splash online progressive slots.
All Slots Online Casino is powered by software from Microgaming and is a brand of the Jackpot Factory group.
