Microgaming has renewed its license arrangement with Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. in order to manufacture another online slot based on the Tarzan franchise, which is another branding victory for the company. The Isle-of-Man company will distribute the new game to its full network of casino partners as a result of a contract that was facilitated by Creative Licensing Corporation and including the Isle-of-Man company.
Independent game designers known as Fortune Factory Studios, who develop online casino games solely for Microgaming and real money casinos, will be in charge of creating the newest installment in the Tarzan slot series.
It is anticipated that the protagonist, who bears the same name as the game, would play a significant role as he guides players on a colorful adventure in search of a variety of in-game goodies. This will comprise “high-energy, captivating animations, thrilling features, and distinctive sounds,” as stated by Microgaming.
Microgaming’s Original Tarzan Slot
The very first Tarzan game was made available for desktop computers and mobile devices in December of 2016. The 5 by 3 slot machine had a total of 40 paylines and a cast of colorful characters, including the hero himself who could hang from vines. The game was a huge success with players thanks to its excellent aesthetics and fluid movements.
Despite this, Microgaming has opted to start the design process for the new edition from the very beginning. This indicates that it will not be modeled after the first game in any manner, which may come as a relief considering the fact that many slot sequels utilize the same or very similar gameplay mechanisms as their predecessors.
In reference to the transaction, Microgaming’s Jean-Luc Ferriere made the following remark:
“We are thrilled to extend our brand partnership with Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. in order to create the next iteration of Tarzan, a classic character and brand that has appeal all over the world.”
As part of the event that took place on Thursday, Ferriere disclosed that Microgaming intended to launch additional online slot machines during the course of the current year.
“As we continue to diversify, extend, and refresh our content offering, the upcoming game from Fortune Factory Studios will be one of several new branded slots to launch on Microgaming’s platform this year.”
Also enthusiastic about the new cooperation is James Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., who had the following to say about it:
“Our expanded partnership with Microgaming will see the design and launch of a new Tarzan game, and we are optimistic that it will build on the character’s already successful first appearance with the well-known provider. We are looking forward to working with Microgaming, and we are really enthusiastic about the development of the game.
Who’s Tarzan?
Edgar Rice Burroughs is credited with the creation of the well-known fictional character Tarzan. His first appearance was in the novel Tarzan of the Apes, which was published in 1912. The novel was so successful that it produced 24 sequels, several of which were recognized on a global scale for their excellence.
More than fifty live-action and animated films based on the character of Tarzan have been produced since the character was first brought to the attention of Hollywood. Tarzan of the Apes (1918), Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), Tarzan and His Mate (1934), Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), and Tarzan (1999) are among the most famous films based on the character. Alexander Skarsgard, a Swedish actor, gave the role his final performance in 2016’s The Legend of Tarzan, which marked his final appearance in any media.
The ever-expanding collection of branded casino material that Microgaming offers will be expanded to include the new Tarzan slot machine. At ICE London 2020, the online slot game, along with its official title, will be presented to the public for the first time.
