If there’s one thing popular software developer Microgaming is good at, it is over-the-top, theatrical looking slots. That’s why it’s so perfect that when it became apparent that the much-loved musical Phantom of the Opera was to arrive in the online casino world, it would be with Microgaming at the helm.The news of the arrival of this slot may have passed you by, as it was announced at the same time that Microgaming told us all that the delayed Jurassic World slot would finally be getting its launch this summer (2017). But it may be the Phantom of the Opera news that is more exciting.
What we know so far
The Phantom of the Opera slot is due for release in Autumn of this year (2017), and at this point, that’s almost all we know. We can only hope that unlike Jurassic World, this game will be arriving when it is due, because there is no doubt that anticipation levels are going to be high!One thing we do know, is that it is not the stage musical that this slot will be based on, but the 2004 movie starring Gerard Butler, Minnie Driver, and Emmy Rossum.And, in case you were concerned, the soundtrack will, of course, be made up of the immensely popular Andrew Lloyd Webber songs from the musical, with songs like The Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, and, of course, The Phantom of the Opera all expected to feature.
New genre
Speaking of the release, David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, said:“The Phantom of the Opera has had unequivocal success, played to over 140 million people worldwide! It’s exciting to be working with a musical, a new genre of branded content for Microgaming, extending and broadening our portfolio of games.”https://youtu.be/c1VMYmq_IUE
