o Gandalf's Fireworks at Hobbiton – a free spin bonus, the game starts with 8 spins. If any wild symbol lands on reels 2,3 or 4 and there is at least one win on the reels, the wild symbol is lit and the firework at the top of the reel launches up to the above monitor and explodes to reveal a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier which is applied to your winning reels. If 3 ring symbols appear in any of the reels, you receive another 8 free spins.
o Merry and Pippin's Garden Heist at Hobbiton – an interactive bonus, you are awarded 3 picks. You choose from a selection of vegetables that will either reveal a credit prize or a farmers hat. If no farmer symbol is revealed, you go to the next round, receive 3 more picks and the credit values increase. If one farmer symbol is revealed, the bonus is over. If you find all 3 farmer symbols in a round, you receive a 100x multiplier.
o The Prancing Pony at Bree (unlocked at mile 10) – an interactive bonus that starts by having the player select a door that will determine how many picks you get in the bonus. Anywhere between 5-11. With those picks, you select from a collection of beds. Once the selections have been made, 4 Nazgul appear and destroy 4 beds at random. Each bed that is not destroyed by a Nazgul becomes a credit award, the total is multiplied by the number of picked beds that survived the Nazgul attack.
o Arwen's Rescue at Weathertop (unlocked at mile 25) – a free spin round that doesn’t end until each column has been flooded by Arwen. Anytime Arwen appears on a reel, it transforms into a wild and will be that way for all future spins. Once all 5 reels have transformed into a wild, one last spin is awarded and the bonus round ends.
o Isildur's Sword at Rivendale (unlocked at mile 45) – an interactive bonus, the game starts will a grid of 6 columns. The player selects one item from each column to reveal either credit awards, a broken piece of Isildur’s sword or an “all symbol”. Each column has a piece of the sword hidden in it. If you find one, you receive another round of picks. The goal is to find all the pieces of the sword. Once you find a piece of the sword in a column, that column is no longer available to choose from. There is one “all symbol” per bonus round. If you find it, you complete the sword and are awarded 3,000 credits on top of what you have already won in the bonus round.
o The Balrog Bonus in the mines of Moria (Unlocked at mile 75) – A free spin round that doesn’t end until Gandalf receives 5 hits. Every winning spin triggers an attack by Gandalf against the Balrog. Each time you get a winning line, Gandalf attacks the Balrog and his 5 multiplier values. The multiplier value Gandalf doesn’t destroy is applied to your winning spin, anywhere from 2x-15x. If you do not have a winning payline, the Balrog attacks Gandalf. Galdalf can only withstand 5 hits before his shield is gone. After Galdalf’s shield is gone, the next attack by the Balrog will defeat Gandal. However, if you receive 3 scattered ring symbols on lines 1, 3 and 5, Galdalf’s shield recharges fully. Once Gandalf’s shield is gone, you will pick from 3 orbs to determine your fate. The options include Recharge, Final Shot or End Bonus. Recharge will give Gandalf’s shield 3 more hits. The “Final Shot” spins until you have a winning payline.
o Galadriel's Staircase at Lothloarian (unlocked at mile 110) – a free spin bonus that adds wilds to each spin. The game starts with 5 spins. Each spin takes you to another step up Galadrial’s Staircase. You get 1 more spin every time a Galadriel symbol appears with the Light of Anur. The game continues until you reach the top of the staircase or you run out of spins.
o Uruk-Hai Battle (unlocked at mile 150) – This is kind of like the Dungeons and Dragons bonus. Each enemy has a point value. The reels below determine what the Fellowship members point value is. If the point value of the fellowship member is greater than or equal to the enemies, you win the point value associated with that enemy. If not, the fellowship member is defeated and the next member of the fellowship will attempt to do battle the same way. This continues until all enemies are defeated or all the members of the fellowship lose.
