Isle of Man-headquartered online casino content provider Microgaming is set to bring back a beloved character with a new branded online slot to be created exclusively for its ever-growing network of operator partners and their players.
The company announced Thursday that it has extended a previously penned licensing agreement with Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., brokered by Creative Licensing Corporation, to produce a new Tarzan branded online slot title.
The new deal, which builds on a successful partnership originally formed in 2016, will enable Microgaming to introduce a second Tarzan slot to its gambling audience.
Independent game studio Fortune Factory Studios will be tasked with creating the brand-new slot that will star the king of the jungle, a favorite character of several generations of people.
Tarzan is one of the most filmed characters in history. The jungle hero has been subject of more than 50 live-action and animation features. His latest appearance on the silver screen was in the 2016 live-action movie The Legend of Tarzan, starring Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård as the legendary vine swinging character.
The Tarzan franchise also includes television series, Broadway stage productions, and thousands of publications and licensed products.
The New Tarzan Slot
Microgaming said that its new Tarzan branded game will be created from scratch by Fortune Factory Studios to ensure that it has a unique look and feel. The beloved jungle hero will feature prominently throughout the game. The new slot will additionally include captivating animations, exciting game features, and distinctive sounds that will accompany action.
Microgaming’s first Tarzan-branded title was rolled out in December 2016 across desktop and mobile. The 40-line online slot prominently features the popular character as well as his jungle friends Jane and Archimedes against the backdrop of shimmering jungle waterfalls and other authentic sights.
The supplier’s new Tarzan game will be the latest to join its branded content portfolio. Microgaming will unveil the slot and its official title next week during the ICE London conference and exhibition show.
Commenting on the recent extension of their deal with Microgaming, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. President James Sullos said that they are confident the new Tarzan game will “build on the character’s successful outing with the renowned supplier” and that they are “excited to see the game come to fruition.”
Microgaming Chief Commercial Officer Jean-Luc Ferriere said that they are excited to extend their brand collaboration with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. to create the next iteration of the timeless character.
Of the upcoming new Tarzan game, Microgaming’s CCO said that it “will be one of several new branded slots to launch on Microgaming’s platform this year as we continue to diversify, extend and refresh our content offering.”
