Microgaming, the online gaming giant, has signed a licensing deal with one of the world's most famous families, the Osbournes.

The deal will see Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly feature in a special series of cutting edge, graphic-rich video slots, planned for launch later in the year.

The announcement follows swiftly on the launch of the Hitman and in the footsteps of Microgaming’s hugely successful Lara Croft series, both of which have proved massively successful among the playing community.
