Middle Earth

Players on the lookout for the best online slots will want to pay close attention to Middle Earth, the adventure title from Tom Horn Gaming.

This fantastical game is awash in casino bonus features, including a gamble feature and free spins with win multipliers up to 5x.

Theme

Online slot games based on literature are few and far between, but fans of the books of J.R.R. Tolkien will have much cause for celebration with the release of Middle Earth.

The whimsical world of The Lord of the Rings saga is brought to life in all its epic glory here.

Gaming symbols include unicorns, Mount Doom, princesses, knights with glowing swords, and battle axe-toting dwarves, as well as the playing card values ace through ten.

The ring of power acts as wild, substituting for other symbols while also offering base play’s top payout of 10,000x for five-of-a-kind.

This Tom Horn Gaming title’s most gaming important symbol, however…

… is the VIP scatter symbol. This is the gateway to free spins, gamblers’ best opportunity for big wins.

Betting Options and Functions

There are nine adjustable pay-lines, all paying from left to right. Bet-per-line is adjustable from 0.02–10.00 for an overall per-spin bet range of 0.02 – 90.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available as a simple on/off toggle, though players should exercise caution, as there are no win/loss limits available.

Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via an expanding menu at the lower left corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is above-average at 95.96%.
