\"Licensed<\/p>\n

You may have noticed in the last couple of years more and more slot games appearing online which boast a theme based around a film, a famous person, a rock or pop band or even a board game, these slots are often known as branded slot and as such they always require a license from the trademark or copyright owner before those games can be developed and launched.<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons of Licensed Slot Games<\/h2>\n

It should be noted that there are a few pros and cons of a slot designer getting a license to bring out a fully branded slot, there have been occasions when a slot game has had to be withdrawn due to someone owning the copyright of the game taking offense at the slot or gambling in general.<\/p>\n

One such slots was the Lord of the Rings slot game which was designed and released by Microgaming, although Microgaming did get full permission to use the Lord of the Rings theme, quite a while after it went live the Tolkien family decided it did not want a slot machine of any type to bear the theme or use any distinguishing features of the Lord of the Rings and the slot then vanished from all online casinos that it had been previously available at.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Branded and fully licensed slot games are certainly here to stay and on the increase, however never forget that the most important aspect of any online slot game is the actual payout percentage that the slot has been set to payout over the long term.<\/p>\n

An online slot game can have the most famous theme in the world but it is only ever going to be an attractive slot game to play if it boasts an average or more preferably an above average payout percentage, so do your homework before choosing just which slots to play online, and make the wise decision of playing the slots with the best payout percentages!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
