Microgaming Launches Tarzan Pokie

Isle of Man-based casino software provider, Microgaming, has launched their latest video pokie game, Tarzan, ending off 2016 on a high. Developed for play via desktop and mobile, the branded game has been released on the Microgaming and Quickfire platforms.

The 5 reel, 40 payline game is based on the well-known character of Tarzan from Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel published in 1912 and numerous films based on the jungle boy. Set in the jungle, the game is graphically rich with a soundtrack that includes Tarzan’s famous call.

The game offers multiple features that start with a Bonus Wheel. Tarzan will spin the wheel to reveal a cash prize, free spins, a Pick-a-Potamus Bonus or cash multipliers. Rolling Reels and Growing Wilds in the free spins round add many chances for players to win.

“Tarzan is a visually bold and highly entertaining slot that celebrates the playful nature of this larger-than-life character,” announced Roger Raatgever, chief executive of Microgaming. “We’ve had a blast working with such an experienced licensor to bring this iconic brand to the online gaming world and I think it shows.”

“2016 has been a busy year for us and there isn’t a better way to end it than with a classic branded title.”

Tarzan was developed via a licensing agreement with Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., through the Creative Licensing Corporation and was launched on December 1, 2016.

“Microgaming has certainly captured the timeless calm of Tarzan in their online slot,” stated James Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. “We’re pleased that the game remains faithful to this very special character who continues to appeal to a diverse worldwide audience. We enjoyed working with Microgaming and we’re excited to see the game launch today into the online arena.”
