Tarzan Slot Review

Microgaming prepared a perfect New Year gift for all spinners around the globe, since the company from the Isle of Man will release a Tarzan slot on 31st December 2016.

Earlier this year Microgaming signed an agreement with Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. to create a video slot version of the famous story about the lost child raised by the apes in the African jungle.

The slot will offer 5 reels, 40 paylines and lots of fun and rewarding features, for the starting price of $0.40 per spin. So be prepared for an incredible jungle adventure with John Clayton and his beautiful girlfriend Jane.

Developer

Microgaming is considered to be a true pioneer of the online gambling industry, since the company was founded in 1994, launching the first ever online casino, called the Gaming Club. The software provider from the Isle of Man has more than 600 games on offer, out of which almost half are video slots.

Today, their games can be found in more than 120 online casinos across the globe. After the release of Jungle Jim El Dorado this fall, Microgaming decided to visit the jungle once again, only this time with Tarzan as their tour guide.

How To Play It

Since we only got to see the teaser so far, we are still not familiar with all the details, but we can suppose that Microgaming will keep it simple.

We know that the slot will feature a 5×4 grid and that it will offer 40 fixed paylines. Betting range should go from $0.40 to $40 per spin and the 2016 release will pay from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

When talking about the visuals, Tarzan will boast exceptional graphics, state-of-the-art animations and an engaging soundtrack. The reels are set deep into the jungle, with Tarzan himself standing on the left side of the screen, but also functioning as the highest-paying symbol.

He will be accompanied with Jane, her father Archimedes, Tarzan’s faithful sidekick Cheetah, and a Leopard, while various sorts of fruits will function as low-value symbols.

The Logo is a Wild that substitutes all regular symbols and can appear in stacks or on multiple reels, while the Bonus Scatter will be crucial for the special features.

Special Features

Earl Greystoke prepared lots of surprises for spinners who land at least three Scatters on the reels. Tarzan will then spin the Bonus Wheel, which might reward you with multipliers, Free Spins, Bonus game or the Jackpot that will multiply your bet up to 1,000 times.

When talking about multipliers, if you land three Scatters, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 6x multipliers will appear on the Wheel. Four Scatters bring 6x, 8x, 10x and 12x multipliers of the triggering bet, while five Bonus symbols raise the multipliers to 9x, 12x, 15x and 18x.

If the Bonus Wheel stops on the Bonus field, Tarzan will take you to the river, where 12 hippos await. You will get minimum two picks, and maximum 12 picks of the hippopotami, which will open their mouths and reveal cash prizes.

Free Spins field will award you with 12 freebies with Rolling Reels and Growing Wilds.

Rolling Reels will allow symbols that form a winning combination to disappear from the reels, making room for new symbols to fill their place, and the roll will stop once there are no more winning combinations on the screen.

Growing Wilds get more Wild symbols on the reels for every new freebie, and you can land up to 15 Wilds at once thanks to Growing Wilds.

The Jackpot depends on the number of Scatters you landed. Three Scatters bring 200x, four 400x, and five 1,000x the triggering bet.

Maximum Payouts

The Tarzan video slot offers a maximum Jackpot of 1,000 times the triggering bet. Taking under consideration that the maximum bet will probably be $40, the biggest Jackpot you can win is $40,000.

Plenty of hefty payouts can be landed in Free Spins, up to 2,750 times the triggering bet to be precise, thanks to Rolling Reels and Growing Wilds. We reckon that Tarzan will pay the most, when talking about high-value symbols.

Summary

We believe that Tarzan will be a perfect ending of 2016 for Microgaming, since the slot promises plenty for a very reasonable price. The 2016 release houses crisp graphics, excellent animations and a matching soundtrack, while the additional features could make you miss your New Year party.

The betting range will make the game affordable both for penny punters and high rollers, and the maximum possible prize of $40,000 is more than tempting. Lots of reasons for all the spinners around the globe to start the last day of 2016 with Earl Greystoke.
