Love Lord of the Rings? Love slot machines? Now you can combine the two! It looks like Spotlight 29 Casino in the Coachella Valley has added 10 new penny slot machine games to their line-up, and they include the brand new LOTR game:
Lord of the Rings has taken the J.R. Tolkien trilogy and created an innovative experience that utilizes the latest gaming technology. The player will embark on a mission through Middle Earth and complete different levels of the storyline through wins. “Adaptive Gaming” technology allows control over the spinning reels during a turn, while “Sensory Immersion” incorporates chairs with Bose sound systems to complete the illusion you are traveling with Frodo and friends through the elements of Tolkien’s fantastical world.
Sales have been suspended. These shirts will be available at DragonCon 2010
Each year at Comic-Con, TheOneRing.net releases at least one new t-shirt for the attendees. And each year we can all but guarantee that we’ll get a load of email from non-attendees looking to purchase the same shirts. This year, we were prepared! We’re happy to announce that you can now place your order for our Comic-Con 2010 T-shirts online. If you were not already aware, TheOneRing.net occasionally runs these t-shirt sales to offset the costs of running our website. Even with an all volunteer staff (including owners), we occasionally find our selves strapped for cash to fund basic operations. Thank you for your continued support!
We had two designs this year: ‘Talk nerdy to me’ and ‘I kissed a geek…And I Liked it!’

You can’t just walk into Mordor, and, these days, you can’t just walk into the store and pick up a quality Lord of the Rings title for your console like it’s 2003. Since Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001, there have been twelve LOTR games, fourteen if you count expansions and EA’s (sadly) canned The White Council, not to mention free, browser-based games, board games, card games, and all the other ways publishers have sought to monetize the property. Surely, this flood of games would be enough for even the most die-hard “ringer,” no? [Full Article]
