There is nothing quite as relaxing as a game of free online slot machine action.  It has always had the potential to conjure thoughts of days when we were younger and more innocent, and unburdened by the stressors of daily living that all of us face in one way or another today.  Slots have always been the mainstay of the best casino parlours.  We might feel like kicking the machine after a half dozen or so plays without winning, but we always return to the “one-armed bandit.”

Well, slots are different today than they were years ago.  While I still get great pleasure from playing “Lucky 7’s” for hours on free online slot machine sites such as OnlineGambling.co.uk, it was refreshing to hear some progressive online casino news this week regarding the venerable slot machine game.    

The Irish software provider, CryptoLogic, announced that it had just finalized a deal with Paramount Pictures from Hollywood .  Paramount pictures is one of the largest movie companies in the world, and has had such box office successes as “Braveheart,” “Forrest Gump,” “Beowolf,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” “Ferris Bueller,” and “Ghost.”  CryptoLogic has signed an exclusive deal with Paramount Digital Entertainment that will bring these and several other movie themes of historical importance to the online casino gambling industry.

CryptoLogic now has exclusive rights to offer online slot machine games with themes from movies emanating from the studios of Paramount Pictures.  It is anticipated that the initial movie-themed games will be launched in the fall.  Brian Hatfield, CryptoLogic’s president and CEO, feels that this agreement will buoy online slot machine play to even greater heights than it is now experiencing.

Free online slot machine play has increased dramatically since last August when the economic recession gained a foothold worldwide, and hasn’t loosened its grip since.  People from all walks of life and all parts of the world have turned to free casino games sites for their entertainment, and the slot machine area has been one that has experienced a considerable boon over the past few months.  CryptoLogic hopes to take advantage of the economy to further solidify itself as a leader in Internet casino gaming.

Luke Letizia, Vice-President Interactive Licensing at Paramount Pictures, is equally excited about the agreement, stating that CryptoLogic is a leader in online gaming software, and is confident that this provider will be able to develop the movie-themed games on a par with the “quality and calibre of Paramount Pictures properties.”
