OSBOURNES Turned Into Casino Slots

June 6, 2007

Online-Casinos.com reports that top turnkey provider and games developer Microgaming has scored another world star coup with the announcement that it has signed a licensing deal with one of the world's most famous families, the Osbournes. The deal will see Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly feature in a special series of cutting-edge, graphic rich video slots, planned for launch later in the year, the company revealed yesterday (Tuesday, June 5).

The deal follows the successful launch of the Hitman and Lara Croft series slots, both of which have proved massively popular among the playing community.

Premiering on MTV in 2002, the Emmy Award-winning reality series "The Osbournes" ran through to March 2005 and in its first season was cited as the most-viewed series ever on MTV. Since then, all the members of the family have gone on to enjoy music or television careers on a global scale.

Roger Raatgever, CEO, Microgaming, says, "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. 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. We promise it will be a game to remember."

Microgaming develops some 60 online gambling games a year and licenses 120 tier-one gambling websites and 40 poker rooms. The company provides a choice of over 300 offerings in its games inventory, which includes a range of progressive slots that have paid out some $225 million in winnings over the past four years alone.
