Tarzan Slot Machine Locations
Hopefully, it will be more detailed as time flies. If we're talking premium slots we have The Rolling Stones (OLG), The Walking Dead (OLG and Lac Leamy), Tarzan: Lord Of The Jungle (both), True Blood (OLG), Wicked Winnings II (OLG) and Wicked Winnings III (Lac Leamy) plus all their old stuff. How Aristocrat’s Tarzan of the Apes Slot Works. The base game of this Aristocrat designed slot features the very popular 5×3 reel configuration. The slot pays from left to right as usual and has a total of 25 win lines. The symbols on the reels relate to many aspects of the Tarzan story.
While Kingston is probably one of the safer places in Ontario and I have no qualms about hitting up a local pub such as PJ Murphys or Red House; there are still a few places in the area where I just don’t feel comfortable going to.
The Shorelines Casino in Gananoque is one of them. I’m not sure why. It’s spacious. It has restrictions in place. Face coverings are mandatory. There is screening upon entry and plenty of hand sanitizer stations.
Yet I just don’t feel comfortable going there. Or maybe – I don’t want to go there. Since the casino closed temporarily and we went into lockdown I started playing more at online casinos. One thing I really enjoy about online casinos is the variety of slot machines out there. As a Guns N Roses fan for example I can play an actual GNR slot machine. As a soccer fan there is a large selection of soccer slots to play. I think that’s the appeal for me; I’m not restricted to what slot machines are currently in place and aren’t occupied. I can play one of thousands of slot machines at any time.
I thought it might be a good idea to highlight some of those slot machines on the site so others can try them. One that has really taken my interest lately is the new Tarzan slot, created by Microgaming.
Microgaming, the software developer based in the Isle of Man behind the hundreds of great games at the Jackpot City casino, has greeted this fall with a brand new title that all the fans will love. Once again taking on the popular story of the child raised by apes to become a veritable king of the jungle, Microgaming, together with independent game developer Gameburger Studios, brings the mysterious city of Opar to life.
Who is Tarzan
Tarzan, born John Clayton II, Viscount Greystoke, was first introduced by writer Edgar Rice Burroughs in the novel “Tarzan of the Apes” released in 1914. He is a feral child who is raised by apes after an aviation accident leaves him and his family stranded in the western coastal jungles of equatorial Africa. After the death of his parents, the child is adopted by a tribe of apes and raised as one of their own.
Growing up, Tarzan becomes a skilled hunter and a fearsome fighter, so much so that Kerchak, the leader of his ape tribe, attempts to kill him. Of course, our “White Skin” protagonist wins the fight, becoming the “King of the Apes” in the process. When another group of explorers is stranded in the area, Tarzan has his first encounter with civilization in the person of Jane Porter, who later becomes his love interest.
Tarzan has been the protagonist of two dozen books written by Burroughs himself and more than a dozen others by other authors. His adventures were the inspiration for several films released as early as 1918, with the latest released in 2016 (The Legend of Tarzan, directed by David Yates, with Alexander Skarsgård in the main role). He was also featured in several animated movies and series, TV series, and even comics, both as a newspaper strip and dedicated comic book editions.
The Jewels of Opar
Opar is a fictional city that has been featured in several novels by Burroughs and other authors, first mentioned in the second Tarzan novel – The Return of Tarzan – released in 1913. Actually, it’s a lost colony of Atlanteans located deep in the jungles of Africa and, like all other lost cities, it is filled with riches beyond imagination. The inhabitants of the city show a surprising deformity: while the females seem perfectly human, the males are ape-like brutes.
In “Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar”, published in 1916, Tarzan returns to the lost city but he is secretly followed by a corrupt officer who tries to lay hands on the riches hidden there. The novel has been adapted to the screen in 1921 and into a Marvel comic book series called “Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle”, in 1977.
The slot machine
In the latest collaboration of Microgaming and Gameburger Studios, Tarzan once again returns to the lost city of Opar to draw on the riches hidden there. Lost cities and hidden riches have always been a source of inspiration for slot machine developers – this time, in turn, the location featured in the game is truly famous. The game was built based on a license agreement between the developer and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
The game that resulted from the collaboration between the two is beautiful, high-energy, and fast-paced. Built on a backdrop of a rich, green jungle, it’s the perfect title to binge during the fall and winter. The game comes with five reels, three rows, and 20 win lines, along with features like random wilds (left behind by Tarzan doing his iconic swing across the play area), free spins, and Scatter Jackpots that can pay up to 5,000 times the player bets.
“Gameburger has pulled off another incredibly fun and playable game in Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar”, Microgaming’s Director of Games Andrew Booth said, “which has all the hallmarks of a classic Microgaming title.” During the weeks it spent as an exclusive with a select few operators, the game was constantly among the most-played titles. Now that the game has left exclusivity, it can be enjoyed by players across the entire Microgaming network, including popular outlets like JackpotCity Casino, starting October 20.
Not the First
Microgaming is not at its first Tarzan-themed slot machine. The first title inspired by the adventures of the famous King of the Apes was released in 2016, developed by its in-house studio Quickfire Games. The slot machine has five reels, three rows, and 40 win lines, and comes with a series of fun features to trigger, including his iconic jungle yell and vine swings. To make things more interesting, Microgaming added a few great features to the game, including bonuses, jackpots, and its signature Rolling Reels feature.
Branded slot machines are a hit
“Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar” is the latest in a series of branded slot machines that have been launched across Microgaming-powered online gaming outlets like the JackpotCity Online Casino. Most of them are inspired by popular on-screen properties – and they are not singular to online outlets either. Las Vegas casinos are filled with slot machines inspired by popular movie and TV franchises – but game shows and reality shows are not an exception from this rule either.
Microgaming has released several popular online slots inspired by successful movies over the years. Among them, you’ll find beloved franchises like Jurassic Park and its revival, Jurassic World, Terminator – with Terminator II: Judgment Day getting the slot machine treatment in 2014 -, and Halloween, which was released across Microgaming’s network in the wake of the slasher franchise’s 40-year anniversary (and return to the silver screen). In the real-life gaming industry, games and solutions provider IGT also has an impressive selection of branded games, covering properties ranging from classics like Charlie’s Angels and Baywatch to modern-day productions like American Gods. Some of these brands go beyond movies and TV, though – IGT also offers a popular game terminal inspired by the work of singer-songwriter Adam Levine, also known for his recurring role on the television series “American Horror Story”.
Among the many different slot themes that can be found on the casino floor at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, you can often find connections that bring the themes together.
Take for example three of Borgata’s newest slots, Tarzan of the Apes from Aristocrat games and LooseGoose and SuperGoose from Ainsworth games.
We all know that Tarzan is the creation of American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, who wrote about a small boy—that would be Tarzan—who was raised by apes in the African jungle and became a great jungle hero. But did you know Burroughs toyed with other settings for the story, including having Tarzan raised by wild geese? Tarzan would then grow up to hang around golf courses and storm-water retention ponds basically annoying everybody until … No wait, that’s not it.
Actually Tarzan of the Geese protected mythical lost cities where Super Geese protected the Golden Goose that lays the Golden Egg from unscrupulous geese and gold egg hunters with a taste for pâté that threaten scenic waterways … wait, this isn’t right either.
Ok, we admit it. There’s no connection.
Tarzan is Tarzan, Geese are geese. The only connection is that all three of our new slots offer up great slots action and jackpots to players.
Tarzan of the Apes builds on one of Aristocrat’s most popular brands and features vibrant animated graphics set in the deep green jungle, making the player feel as though they are in an exotic location. The cabinet comes equipped with a surround sound chair, further immersing the player in the exciting gaming experience.
There are two unique base game bonus features that will provide players with the chance to earn very generous payouts. The first is the Stampede Remix, which shuffles the symbols, rearranging them to give the player a second chance of hitting winning combinations. The Tarzan Wild Swing Bonus sees Tarzan vine swing across the reels. As he does, he adds new wild symbols to help players earn generous payouts. During the free spins bonus, Tarzan also fires arrows at the reels to reveal extra wilds.
There is also a three wheel off-screen bonus features. By spinning one of three prize wheels, players can earn one of four generous jackpots: mini, minor, major or grand. Credits and multipliers are also available during this round. In another off-screen bonus, Tarzan faces off against jungle animals in animated battle sequences. For each enemy he defeats, the player wins a generous prize and gets closer to finding the temple of gold.
LooseGoose and SuperGoose are part of Ainsworth Games’ Golden Goose Mystery series based on the Golden Goose that lays the Golden Eggs and feature their own free bonus games and jackpot triggers. They both share plenty in common, not least the opportunity to win some truly massive prizes, although there are also subtle differences between each of the feature rounds.
SuperGoose offers players chances at six free games, although there is no waiting around for the final few spins to start cashing in. Instead, the bonus reel comes into play immediately and you can even win more free games on that reel itself. Super Goose also makes use of the increasing Goose Reveal symbols, so you know that you’re onto a winner.
LooseGoose gives players a shot at eight free games. The same Goose Reveal mechanic is in play, but the likelihood of re-triggering the free spins within the round itself is much higher than other Golden goose games.
