When Edgar Rice Burroughs first came up with the idea of Tarzan he could not possibly have guessed how wildly successful the franchise would become or that his protagonist would become one of the most enduring and legendary literary characters of all time. Yet, here we over a hundred years later still reading books, watching movies and, thanks to slot makers like Microgaming, playing Tarzan-themed slots.
Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar is produced by Gameburger Studios, which is owned and operated by Microgaming.
The graphics on this movie themed slot or TV themed slot are generally good and transport you right into the jungle alongside Tarzan himself. You will even catch the occasional glimpses of him swinging through the trees as you start spinning scatters in. The backdrop, as you might expect, is a wild jungle. It is a nice way to set the scene. The only thing letting the graphics in this game down a bit are the bland reel symbols, which are much the same as any other jungle-themed slots game.
Regular slots players will instantly recognize and feel comfortable with the familiar format of five reels, three rows and twenty paylines but there are a host of special features to spice this game up a bit and keep you interested in the story of Tarzan.
The jackpot, for example, is 5,000x, which at the maximum 20.00 stake per spin is a very nice 100,000.
Random Wilds are surely a perfect fit to any Tarzan game. Once you trigger the Random Wilds modifier, Tarzan will come swinging out of the jungle but, more importantly, you can then start snagging wins. You can land up to fifteen wilds, a full screen of them in other words.
Free Spins are par for the course with many slots games but with Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar, land three scatters in the middle three reels and you will open up the feature wheel. Spin that and you will get between ten and thirty free spins and a win multiplier of between 2x and 10x.
The Scatter Jackpot is where the money is at. You can bring it home by landing the purple jewels. You need three or more to get a win of any size but nine for the jackpot itself. That’s right, nine purple jewels land you the 5,000x jackpot!
Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar slot machine game has a great theme based on the immortal Tarzan. Microgaming and Gameburger Studios have done really well with the design which helps make this an enjoyable game to just sit and play. Stakes start at 0.20 and go up to 20.00 so, whilst not exactly a game for high rollers, the stakes are still big enough to keep most players interested and enjoying themselves. This is a medium variance slot machine with a generous return to player percentage of 96.38% so you will have more than enough time to hang out with Tarzan and try to find the Jewels of Opar.
