Ozzy Osbourne and his unique family are getting ready to conquer the online slots world. The Osbournes will be featured in a unique series of graphic rich video slots planned for launch later this year, according to a licensing deal signed by Microgaming.
The Osbournes skyrocketed into the public consciousness in 2002, when they became the subject of an MTV reality series. The Emmy award-winning show, The Osbournes, was the most-viewed series ever on MTV. Since the end of its run in March 2005, all members of the family have proceeded to enjoy triumphant careers in music or television.
“I can honestly say that when I came into this business I would never have believed that one day we would be welcoming Ozzy Osbourne and his family into the fold, but this goes to show how far we have come,” said Microgaming CEO Roger Raatgever. “Online gaming is well and truly part of the entertainment mix and we can’t wait to launch our cutting edge Osbourne video slot to players later this year.”
Microgaming powers many of the world’s most profitable online casinos and has been the industry leader in innovative gaming solutions.
If you look at the way Hitman and Lara Croft have been developed, it should give you an idea of what to expect with the Osbourne slots, said Stuart Hehir, director of Microgaming’s public relations firm, Chameleon PR.
“We promise it will be a game to remember,” Raatgever said.
