This second branded project was allotted to the Gameburger Studios and turned out to be an excellent addendum to the plenteous Microgaming’s library.
The continuation game depicts the story from the 5th (in the Tarzan series) novel by E. R. Burroughs. It is about the city of Opar – consigned to oblivion, where under a blood-soaked sacrificial altar of the Flaming God is planted a vault piled with jewels and gold. Tarzan must overcome hurdles, enemies and earthquakes to appropriate some of the Atlantis riches.
This Medium Volatility slot machine is built with a standard layout of 5×3, sound RTP of 96.38% and whooping win potential of 12500x the total bet in the Free Spins (or 250 000 CAD via max stake). So naturally, the Jewels are the main attraction here.
Landing 9 of them in a single spin will secure juicy x5000 your stake! Besides the fixed Jewel Jackpots, other generous functionalities of the slot are the Wilds – creating frequent payouts to keep you going until your Jewels start to shine, and the Free Spins with Bonus Wheel and re-triggers.
Give this slot a try and check your luck with this charming representation of the ageless jungle novel. Then, start your adventure for free right here on our BNC site. No registration is required.
Personal testers’ opinion about Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar slot
Design-wise: We cannot say that we like this Tarzan version more than the first one. The colours, the symbols and the background are a tad too puffed and ornate for our taste. But the slot is super hot right now, i.e. working very profitable for all players (prize pool-wise), regardless if you are a fan of the visuals here.
Paytable-wise: There are 2 types of Scatters, but only the Jewels ones are paid (check their specific provision below with the chart).
The second type Scatters doesn’t pay and is only employed with the task to launch the bonus after collection of 3OAK. The Wilds will deliver 62.5x the total bet for, and the rest of the symbols from 37.5x (for Tarzan) to 1x (for the J card), all for 5OAK on a payline. We can say that this is not a generous paytable when we consider that other Microgaming’s 20-liners deliver much more overall (for example, Mayan Princess slot (2009) pays for 5OAK Wilds 250x the total bet, or Hellboy slot (2010) even 500x the total bet for the same combination.
But we can also count the positives here: 1) the high hit frequency of over 33%, 2) statistically not a long period of waiting for the bonus feature to be triggered, and never the less 3) the opportunity to play with just 0.20 cents, and still make the chance for a grand prize (1 of the fixed Jackpots).
But what this version of Tarzan stands out is the lofty potential. In the Free Spins, the slot can bring your jungle experience to astounding heights. For example, our test team reported never to be had any Jackpot higher than level 2 (5x the total bet), but in the bonus round had achieved near 500x the total bet via re-trigger (in the total of 60 spins) and plural Wilds combinations with x4 Multiplier.
In conclusion, we will leave positive recommendations for the game with real money, even if the slot is not supplied with a lavish provision nor has a large betting capacity. Thus, different types of players with contrast priorities can revel in this wildwood slot: beginners and regular enthusiasts, slot fans on low and middle-size budgets. But for the bonus hunters, our advice is not to try to complete the wagering conditions at the Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar online slot.
For bonus wagering purposes, you can always launch the original Microgaming slot about this jungle hero: Tarzan slot (2016), built with Medium Volatility and maximum win potential of 2750x the total bet.
Bonus Features
Wilds – Black Panther symbols – act as substitution (except for the 2 Scatter types) and bring the top value from the paytable.
Random Wilds – At random, Tarzan will be dangling from a vine above the reels, dropping extra Wilds (up to 15 in 1 spin). This action is available in both base and bonus spins. So naturally, 15 Wilds at once in the base game will guarantee 1250x the total bet payout, and in the Free Spins, if you add the Multiplier x10, you can grab the maximum prize of 12500x the total bet offered at this slot.
Jewel Jackpot Landing 3 to 9 Jewel Scatters will secure any of the 7 fixed (depending on the stake only) Jackpots, remaining always displayed. They are available even during the Free Spins.
Free Spins – 3 Bonus Scatters (only dropping on reels 2/3/4) will launch the 2 tier Bonus Wheel, determining the number of the Free Spins and the winning Multiplier for them. The ultimate possibilities are 30 Free Spins and x10 Multiplier. The Free Spins are re-trigger-able.
