Microgaming launches Highlander online slot

Microgaming's Highlander online slot is a 5x3 reel, 243-way game, based on the original 1986 movie which became a cult classic, directed by Russell Mulcahy and starred Christopher Lambert.

Atmospheric artwork is used in the game to transport players to the film’s most iconic locations, from the Scottish Highlands of 1536 in the base game to the free spins mode set against the backdrop of a stormy New York skyline. Highlander online slot also features the film’s original cast members who come to life via stunning graphics, inspired by the art style of classic movie posters, together with a blistering 80s rock soundtrack to accompany a series of electrifying features.

“Highlander is an iconic brand, and the game studio has worked tirelessly to create an online slot that pays homage to the 80s movie and its cult classic status. An epic soundtrack composed by our game studio is a great tribute to the brand,” commented David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, “The features in the game perfectly represent the movie; the stroke of a sword which turns scatters wild in the base game is characterised by the legendary sword of the clan MacLeod, while Quickening Wilds in free spins is an escalating feature that builds the opportunity for players to win big!”

“The game came together exceptionally well. We are immensely pleased with the results and believe fans will love the art, which is a beautiful reflection of the classic film,” added Rand Marlis, CEO of Creative Licensing
