First Preview Of Microgaming’s Tarzan Online Slot

November 14, 2016

Microgaming has released the first teaser of its upcoming branded video slot Tarzan. The brand value of the character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs is so awesome that the Microgaming slot will be a mere footnote in the 104-year obsession with the ape man. There is no doubt that the retrospective nostalgia will bring Canadian online casino players to the Tarzan slot game.

The reels are set in a typical African jungle and Tarzan, Jane and her father appear as symbols stacked two high. The other symbols are monkey, cheetah and parrot and the fruits from the classic slots. They are in cute 3D graphics, but devoid of any realism. The Tarzan logo is the wild symbol. Tarzan, in an energetic avatar stands alongside the reels, celebrating when you win or trigger a bonus feature.

The main bonus feature is the Bonus Wheel which is triggered when you land three or 3 or more Bonus Wheel scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. You spin the Bonus Wheel for a chance to win a variety of prizes or play other bonus features. You could win payout multipliers from 3x to 18x, depending on the number of scatter symbols in the triggering spin. Or you could win the jackpot prize of 200x to 1000x the total bet, again depending on the number of scatter symbols.

The other two outcomes take you to different locations in Tarzan’s domain. The Pick-A-Potamus is a bonus game on the second screen. You will be taken to a river with 12 lazy hippopotami. 11 of them award cash prizes and one of them also hides a Pop symbol that will end the bonus round. You keep picking till you reveal the Pop. Tarzan makes sure that your first two picks will be safe. The free spins feature is played atop a high mountain peak. You will be awarded 12 free spins with further bonus features like Rolling Reels and Growing Wilds. Rolling Reels is a well-known Microgaming feature that can award multiple consecutive wins because the symbols in winning combinations are replaced by fresh ones. In Growing Wilds the wild stacks increase by 1 symbol per spin, up to a maximum of 15 wilds.

Tarzan is a 40 paylines video slot in the 5×4 reels structure, much like the earlier Bridesmaids branded slot. It will be available at Microgaming powered Canadian online casinos like Royal Vegas and Spin Palace in the first week of December, both on the desktop and mobile gaming platform.
