Black Sabbath vocalist and on-stage bat-biter, Ozzy Osbourne has landed his very own slot game through a new deal with NetEnt.
The infamous rocker is to join the company’s ever-expanding portfolio of branded online slot games that so far includes the likes of Guns n Roses, Jimi Hendrix and Motorhead.
Featuring imagery and vocals from the Prince of Darkness himself, the game is the fruit of a deal brokered by Global Merchandising Services, Ozzy Osbourne’s merchandising and brand management partner.
“NetEnt is the market leader in its field and we are incredibly excited to add another of our artists to the exciting NetEnt Rocks family of games,” said Barry Drinkwater, chairman of Global Merchandising Services.
Bryan Upton, NetEnt director of game products, added: “Rock stars don’t come much bigger, better known or charismatic than Ozzy Osbourne. Thanks to his larger than life personality and outstanding contribution to music, Ozzy has developed a loyal and passionate following over the past 50 years – we can’t wait to bring this to the reels for players to enjoy.”
