The story of Tarzan is one that is well-embedded into the collective consciousness of the world, being one of the most popular stories of modern pop-culture.
First appearing in the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel called "Tarzan of the Apes", the character was slightly reimagined and depicted differently in the following live-action and animated movies, later appearing in comics, video-games, and across the multitude of different media.
So it doesn't come as a surprise that a slot-release based on this character exists as well.
Developed by the iGaming software provider Gameburger Studios, a sub-company owned by the renowned developer Microgaming, this slot title has 20 betways on a 5 reels and 3 rows layout.
Theme
The background depicts a very lush jungle in front of which the slot machine is situated. The slot machine itself looks like it's made out of stone, decorated by the beautiful tribal markings and spinning Royals, diamonds, pumas, and several different well-designed characters.
Getting the big win is particularly fun, as Tarzan himself will fly on a liana across the screen straight towards you, crying his famous jungle call. At that point the music becomes a lot more upbeat, consisting of minimalistic tribal drums and wildlife sounds prior to that.
Betting Options and Functions
The betting range can be set from $0.20 up to $20.00, and the return-to-player stands somewhat above the industry’s average of 96.38%.
The variance is medium and in general, this game appears to be a very well-balanced slot title.
As per usual, the Royals are the least paying symbols. On the lowest bet, they pay from the least of 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 up to the most of 0.10, 0.20, and 0.65, depending on whether 3, 4, or 5 land on the reels.
On the highest bet, they range from the least of 5.00, 10.00 and 20.00, to the most of 10.00, 20.00 and 65.00, on the same principle.
Four character icons are more rewarding, the explorer paying the least, Jane Porter, and the jungle queen granting more and of course, the titular character, Tarzan, paying the most, which is 50.00, 325.00 and 750.00 on the highest wager.
Features
When it comes to the features there is quite a bit to talk about.
First, the jackpot Scatter looks like a purple jewel from the title and appears on all reels. The symbol awards a cash prize, paying from 20 if the three land up to the 100,000.00 if nine such symbols land on the reels.
During the extra spins feature, the three Scatters will retrigger the extra spins.
The Tarzan random Wild can appear at any time, going up to 15 such Wilds that substitute for any other symbol in the game.
As for the classic Wild symbol it pays 125.00, 500.00, and 1,250.00 on the highest bet, depending on whether 3, 4, or 5 such symbols land. It also substitutes for any symbol, except for the extra spins scatters and jackpot scatters.
Lastly, there are also two wheels to spin to get a nice reward. One can grant from 10 up to 30 extra spins. The other is a multiplier wheel that can multiply your win from x2 to x10. The multiplier, however, doesn't apply to the Jackpot Scatter wins.
Our Take
Gameburger Studios made a fun and very engaging title, that is both beautiful to look at, and full of rewarding and interesting features.
From the Scatter and Wilds, over the extra spins, to the two wheels of luck, exciting and potentially highly rewarding things will regularly come your way.
The medium variance and a pretty generous RTP only add to this, making Tarzan And The Jewels of Opar a title we can happily recommend.
