It is official! NetEnt has announced at the ICE fair in London in February 2019, that it will launch a slot in collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne. When exactly is this slot with Ozzy being released? We still don’t know, but the company did reveal sometime in 2019.
It’s a fact that NetEnt develops some of the best slots to play in the UK and around the world! This new addition will join NetEnt’s line of Rock & Roll slots – NetEnt Rocks! It is famously dedicated to hardcore groups and personalities, such as Guns N' Roses, Jimi Hendrix and Motörhead.
Why an Ozzy Osbourne slot?
This video slot machine is developed in collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne “The Godfather of Heavy Metal”. The Black Sabbath frontman and the solo superstar is a current owner and brand ambassador for Metal Casino. Ozzy is somewhat an activist for Metal Music in the digital world. Also known as "The Prince of Darkness", NetEnt’s collaboration will produce an excellent gaming machine based on Ozzy. Osbourne became known as The Prince of Darkness in the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, in the 1970s, and has been one of the world's most iconic musicians ever since.
Ozzy expanded his already massive crowd of fans after his successful shows on the reality television series “The Osbournes”, along with his wife Sharon and kids, Kelly and Jack. Ozzy is a rock legend that broke through in the late '60s and has since provided us with a lineup of classics. His real breakthrough came with Black Sabbath, and already their first album "Black Sabbath" in 1970, was a success. From then on, there were many smashing record releases including "Paranoid" and "Never Say Die!" In the late '70s, Black Sabbath split, and Ozzy Osbourne began to drive solo instead. But on two occasions in 1998 and 2013, Black Sabbath reunited, which then released two new albums.
In total, Ozzy Osbourne has sold more than 100 million albums over the years and is among the biggest and most influential names in heavy metal music.
What do the Producers of NetEnt have to Say About This Video Slot
According to Bryan Upton, rockstars can't get much bigger, more famous or more charismatic than Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy has received many followers and fans over the past 50 years thanks to his personality and outstanding contribution in music. NetEnt is looking forward with excitement, to how all players and fans will receive this new game launch.
NetEnt has a whole team that works with the gaming booth and who previously worked with the company's slots based on famous bands. The company hopes that this will be another successful game title. With pictures and songs from Ozzy Osbourne, this video slot will be another contribution to the “NetEnt Rocks” family of games, where they already have Guns N' Roses, Jimi Hendrix and Motörhead. These have all become great successes for NetEnt.
Barry Drinkwater, chairman of Global Merchandising Services, represents Ozzy Osbourne in this partnership with NetEnt. “NetEnt is the market leader in its field, and we are incredibly pleased to add one of our artists to the exciting NetEnt Rocks series of games”, said Mr Drinkwater. NetEnt has signed an agreement with Global Merchandising Services. It is Mr Drinkwater who has granted NetEnt the rights to release an Ozzy Osbourne-themed castle. One of the world's leading rock artists of all time!
How Will the Ozzy Osbourne Slot Look?
NetEnt generally goes all out in development. Imagine with this slot! When it comes to the development of this Ozzy Osbourne video slot game, you can expect a lot of cool music, combined with fun features that give gaming a little extra edge. If any of the other Osbourne family members appear in the game, is unknown. But it would hardly surprise us if we see a glimpse of his wife Sharon and their children Kelly and Jack.
