Now that Microgaming has announced a branded video slot on Tarzan, players at online casinos would check out jungle themed slots for likely competitors. The closest one can come to Tarzan is Heart of the Jungle from Ash Gaming live at Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino.

Heart of the Jungle has an epic setting – from the way the game loads to its 50 paylines structure. Tarzan and Jane have many faces and you cannot pin down the jungle guy and his lady as the duo, but who else could they be. The symbols on the reels include animals from the African jungle like parrot, cheetah, elephant and chimpanzee and the usual playing card icons. The wild symbol is the game logo and it also awards the top line payouts. The tribal shields appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5 and when it lands on all three reels at the same time it triggers the Jungle Trail bonus feature. You will play one of four free spins bonus rounds, depending on how many times you have already activated the feature.

The first four bonus triggers will take you to the Deep Jungle. Here, you will be awarded 8 free spins with an 8x multiplier and an Ultra Spin that fetches you an up to a 25x multiplier on your final spin. The 5th to 9th triggers are played at the Crystal Falls. This time you have 10 free spins and four stacked wilds for each spin. Going ahead to the 10th to 14th triggers you move to the Golden Mountain. The number of free spins increases to 15 and come with semi-sticky wilds that nudge up or down with each spin. From the 15th trigger you will be in the Lost City of Zantar. You win 25 free spins with a special wild symbol that moves horizontally across the reels with each spin and increases the multiplier value. Then on activating the bonus for the 20th, 25th, 30th and 35th time you win a payment boost that increases the number of free spins.

Heart of the Jungle comes with an achievements feature. It awards you a notification each time you win a line payout or trigger a bonus and stores your achievements. These can be shared with the online casino community and if you are tops then you win bragging rights. Branded icons apart, it would be interesting to see what Microgaming does with Tarzan.
