New from Microgaming comes Tarzan® and the Jewels of Opar, a high-energy five-reel, 20 payline video slot packed with thrilling features and punchy animation.

This is the latest collaboration between Microgaming and Gameburger Studios, an independent developer of exclusive premium gaming content. Following a wildly successful two-week exclusivity period with select operators, the game is now live across the Microgaming network from Tuesday 20 October.

Follow Tarzan® as he returns to Opar, a lost city buried deep in the jungle, in search of hidden treasure. Jewel scatter symbols appear on every reel, with three or more scatter symbols triggering up to seven levels of Scatter Jackpots up to a maximum 5,000x the player’s bet!

Tarzan® frequently swings through the trees during the game, randomly adding up to 15 wilds for significant win potential. The Random Wilds feature is available in both base and free spins, with at least one feature occurrence guaranteed in free spins.

Tarzan® and the Jewels of Opar is the fifth installment of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic fantasy adventure series, and it’s Microgaming’s second take on the Tarzan legend. The Isle of Man-based supplier has an exclusive licensing agreement with Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., brokered by Creative Licensing Corporation, to produce Tarzan-branded gaming content.

“Gameburger have pulled off another incredibly fun and playable game in Tarzan® and the Jewels of Opar, which has all the hallmarks of a classic Microgaming title. The game was an absolute hit during an early exclusive release period, consistently performing among our top five games per operator in terms of player retention alone. Players are going to love this new spin on a branded classic.” – Andrew Booth, Director of Games at Microgaming.
