There are a few tales that have been mainstays through the years, which have entrenched themselves into popular culture. It matters not how many times the story has been told through books, plays and motion pictures; there’s always budget for a new rendition of the tale. Gameburger Studios is savvy enough to know this and has pulled off a masterstroke by landing the licensing agreement to develop Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar, which now means online casino entertainment is also a platform for this story to thrive. Plenty of winning opportunities have been attached to the new title, with various spinning wheels determining free spins and savage multipliers. Let’s go in for a closer look.
You just saw that we mentioned Gameburger Studios developed Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar, which might be a name unfamiliar to you. This is one of Microgaming’s micro studios, which basically operates under a different name. You might have played a slot named 9 Masks of Fire, which was developed under the Gameburger Studios name, however, you’ll most definitely know Microgaming as they’re famous for doing the Playboy online slot machine series. The graphics and animations are all on a very high level, as Microgaming is one of the biggest on the business, having been established in the 90’s. You’re most probably familiar with the story of Tarzan and Jane, so there’s no point wasting time explaining it.
The symbols are where the theme of the slot’s title comes into fruition. It is here where all the characters from the original story claim a place on the reels. It goes without saying that the jungle man himself takes the place of the highest value icon, while a tribal lady, Jane and another male explorer also take up positions on the reels. The symbols that are lower in value, albeit still valuable if wagering a decent amount, are playing card royals J, Q, K and A.
There’s a couple of symbols that do their part to give the game plenty of excitement. The first of these is the wild, which is a black panther, and this one will act as any regular symbol in the game to make up a 3, 4 and 5 of a kind winning combination. The only icon in Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar that the wild won’t substitute is the Free Spins symbol, which you won’t have any issues identifying.
The headlining bonus feature is a free spins game, and it takes a bit of a different look and feel than what you might be used to. First of all, you’ll need to land three free spins icons on the same spin. These symbols only land on reels 2, 3 and 4. Once you’ve managed this, you’ll be taken to a spinning wheel, which determines the number of free spins you’ll be awarded. The least you can snag is 10, while 30 free spins is the pinnacle. What makes things a little better, after determining your number of spins, is that you proceed to a multiplier wheel, which applies a 2x – 10x multiplier to all wins during the free spins. Landing 3 scatters during the feature will add more spins.
But wait, there’s also a Jackpot Scatter icon, and landing 3 – 9 of these on a single spin will award a jackpot. Obviously, 9 Jackpot Scatters is the number you want to achieve.
Tarzan doesn’t exactly take on a new look here, as it’s the same thing in online slot machines form that you’ve seen on film. However, the bonuses are quite the treat and aren’t too complicated. They’re also quite interactive, so there’s a bit of a different dimension in Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar. Let’s just say, there’s scope for a swinging good time.
