His hit reality family TV show ‘The Osbournes’ also helped him remain in the spotlight.

“NetEnt are the market leaders in their field and we’re incredibly excited to add another of our artists to the exciting NetEnt Rocks family of games,” said Barry Drinkwater, chairman of the firm.

Yep, that’s right. The sword-wielding barbarian will be now be gracing the reels thanks to NetEnt’s latest character-driven branded title. The character of Conan is most widely renowned thanks to the 1982 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
