With New Video Slot Game Microgaming Welcomes The Osbournes Into Its Family.
Online gaming softaware provider Microgaming announces it has signed a new 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 slot games, planned for launch later in the year's releases.
The announcement follows swiftly on the launch of the newest
Hitman slot
and in the footsteps of Microgaming's extremaly successful
Tomb Raider(TM)
Lara Croft series, both of which have proved massively successful among the online players community.
Premiering on MTV in 2002, the Emmy Award-winning reality series - "The Osbournes", ran through to March 2005 and in its
1st season, was cited as the most-viewed series ever on MTV. Since then, all members of the family have gone on to
enjoy successful music or television careers on a global scale.
Roger Raatgever, CEO, Microgaming software systems, 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."
