Tarzan Slot Machine

The Tarzan game is one of those Vegas classics that I have to play when I am in a casino. The big appeal for me is the fantastic wheel bonus, which is so exciting, especially when it re-triggers.

During regular gameplay, the Tarzan slots game can go for long periods without paying out very much, but when you hit the bonus you are more likely to get a big win, especially if you start to hit the multipliers.

Tarzan Slots in Vegas

The Tarzan game is now in just about every casino in Las Vegas and there are several versions. All the versions are very good, but the latest one is by far the most popular and has the best graphics and sound effects.

Whenever I think about Tarzan slots, I have great memories of watching it a few years ago when I was in Terribles casino, Las Vegas. An elderly lady, a real character was sat at the machine and there was quite a commotion going on.

She was a phenomenon in her own right and a big crowd had formed around her, looking on. The reason why, was because she was stood up during the bonus round, punching her fists out as if she was Tarzan fighting the apes!

Each and every attack from the apes saw her punching, acting like she was throwing apes around and shouting at the screen, as the bonus points (and cash win) built up and up.

By the end of the bonus, this lovely lady must have had 50 people surrounded watching her - boy, was she surprised when she turned around at the end of the bonus to see how many fans she had accumulated!

Bonuses and features

The Tarzan slot is pretty famous for some of the great features. The bonuses feature the monkey, elephants, Jane and of course, Tarzan himself. The cutest of the bonuses is the mystery one where the monkey flies across the screen, shoots back up and then hands out a prize - it doesn't normally pay much, but is fun to watch.

Better than the monkey feature, is the elephant one. When you feel a rumbling in the chair, you know the elephant stampede is about to happen and with it, hopefully, a big win.

There is also a bonus where Tarzan swings across the screen. Again, this is a random feature that can happen at absolutely any time during the game. As Tarzan swings across, he deposits a load of wilds on the screen and he may do two or three swings if you are lucky. It can result in a screen full of wilds, on a good day!
