The film that starred Christopher Lambert and directed by Russell Mulcahy combines different locations and different times, highlighting the adventures of immortal swordsman Connor MacLeod in Scotland and New York.

David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, comments:  “Highlander™ is an iconic brand, and the game studio have worked tirelessly to create an online slot that pays homage to the 80s movie and its cult classic status. An epic soundtrack composed by our game studio is a great tribute to the brand. The features in the game perfectly represent the movie; the stroke of a sword which turns scatters wild in the base game is characterized by the legendary sword of the clan MacLeod, while Quickening Wilds™ in free spins is an escalating feature that builds the opportunity for players to win big!”

“The game came together exceptionally well. We are immensely pleased with the results and believe fans will love the art, which is a beautiful reflection of the classic film,”  says Rand Marlis, CEO of Creative Licensing.
