Type Tarzan slot into Google from Britain and five different games come back under one name.
An independent, hands-on Tarzan slot review for UK players: every figure checked against the provider’s specification, the operator’s terms and the licence register.
This review separates the five builds, prints every return with its publisher, and scores three jungle slots a British account can load.
Five slots, one name. A Microgaming online build, now under Games Global; two Aristocrat cabinets; a Ready Play Gaming title; and Wild Tarzan from CQ9 Gaming. Tell them apart.
The top-ranking page names the wrong studio. It credits Bally. The rights holder, Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., published the Las Vegas announcement in February 2011, naming Aristocrat. The receipt.
The Bonus Wheel is the draw. Three or more scatters spin it: a jackpot of 200×, 400× or 1,000× stake, a multiplier, 12 free spins with Rolling Reels, or Pick-a-Potamus. How it triggers.
The studio is licensed here; the title is not. Games Global holds GB account 58841, yet none of the nine UKGC-licensed lobbies we searched carries a Tarzan build. What we checked.
Three jungle slots you can load tonight. Gorilla Gold Megaways 97.00%, Raging Rhino 95.91% on MrQ’s page, The Wild Life Extreme 94% in Grosvenor’s game rules. The match score.
Good maths, no reach. None of nine UKGC-licensed lobbies carries it, and no studio sheet prints the return.
One wheel decides the session: four legs, cascades, a growing wild stack. No British route, and no studio-published return. Three jungle slots that offer both.
Tarzan is for you if
Tarzan is not for you if
The cast are 3D models with cut-ins. The 5×4 grid crops tighter, so fruit low-pays blur first on a phone.
Ambient forest under the base game, percussion when the wheel is in play. A UKGC build cannot celebrate a return at or below your stake.
The licence reaches the maths, not just the artwork: the Tarzan logo is wild and top symbol, Pick-a-Potamus a bonus leg.
Base spins tick along on 40 fixed lines; the session turns on how often scatters land. One trigger, four outcomes: jackpot, multiplier, free spins, hippos.
We score it 6.5: above average for its era, with a Bonus Wheel better than most of what replaced it. Two of our five dimensions measure British reach; both stop short.
Play credits only — no account, no download, no cashable balance. It is Bigpot Gaming’s Legend of Tarzan, not the Microgaming game this page documents.
Read on each operator’s own page, 9 August 2026; account numbers on the Commission register the same day.
Our catalogue holds three games called Tarzan: this Legend of Tarzan from Bigpot Gaming, a Ready Play Gaming title, and Tarzan X-Potz from Atlantic Digital — not the Microgaming original.
Free play and real play run the same certified random number generator; only the balance differs.
Searching play tarzan slot machine online free or tarzan slot online returns demo pages loading a different studio’s game. The studio badge names which.
Arithmetic on figures other people print, each attributed — and why no studio sheet exists.
1 · The catalogue changed hands, and the game sheet did not follow
Microgaming built this slot; Games Global bought the online portfolio in May 2022, and Microgaming became Apricot. The portfolio is presented at company level — no per-title sheet.
2 · The field prints a number anyway, and not the same one
96.48% is the figure most pages carry; others print 96.45%, 96.4% or a flat 96.00%. One large database shows 0% — its way of recording “not held”.
3 · The one place a figure is guaranteed
In Great Britain the return must be reachable inside the game: open the menu or the i icon and read the Return to Player line for your lobby’s build.
Read from each publisher’s page, 9 August 2026.
| Who publishes it | Return published | What kind of source | Also on the same page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Games Global (the rights holder) | None | Primary · its own website | Portfolio scale and GB licence 58841 — no per-title sheet |
| Three review and free-play pages | 96.48% | Secondary · three pages | 5×4 · 40 lines · hit frequency 29.82% · full paytable · max win 800× · Games Global attribution |
| Large slot database | 0% (not held) | Secondary · spec table | Release logged 16 December 2016 · min 0.40, max 40 |
| MrQ · Raging Rhino | 95.91% | UKGC operator · own game page | 4,096 ways · up to 50 free spins |
| Grosvenor · The Wild Life Extreme | 94% | UKGC operator · in the game rules | 5 paylines · sticky wilds · min bet 5p |
Our arithmetic: expected cost = turnover × (1 − RTP).
On the 96.48% cited for Tarzan the edge is 3.52%: £100 of turnover costs an expected £3.52. Per spin: 1.41p at 40p, 7.04p at the £2 cap, 17.60p at the £5 cap.
Blackjack to basic strategy carries a house edge commonly put near 0.5% — about £0.50 per £100 against £3.52 here.
Volatility reads medium wherever it is published; hit frequency is quoted at 29.82% by one page only, a single record. A hit is not a profit: many are line wins worth less than the stake. No progressive — the wheel tops out at a fixed 1,000× stake.
Three or more scatters open a wheel deciding between a jackpot, a multiplier, twelve free spins and a room full of hippos.
The jackpot leg pays 200× stake at three scatters, 400× at four, 1,000× at five; the multiplier leg runs 3–6×, 6–12×, 9–12× on the same scale. The free-spins leg gives 12 spins with Rolling Reels and a Growing Wilds stack, one wild per cascade to 15. Pick-a-Potamus: twelve hippos, picked until the ‘pop’.
All 40 lines are fixed, so coin value is the only control. A UKGC lobby must leave 2.5 seconds between game cycles (RTS 14D); the 2019 licence conditions removed autoplay and speed-up and stopped below-stake returns counting as wins. Play caps at roughly 24 spins a minute.
They share a licence and nothing else. Aristocrat’s Tarzan Lord of the Jungle is a VERVEhd cabinet, 31.5-inch portrait, GLI-certified February 2011, with a four-level progressive topping out at $250,000 and five bonuses: Tarzan, Stampede, Monkey, Kerchak Free Games at 2×, 3×, 5× or 10×, Progressive Wheel. None exists online.
At the £0.40 minimum a £20 balance buys 50 spins — at least 2 minutes 5 seconds under the 2.5-second floor — at an expected 70p on the cited 96.48%.
An HTML5 build that adapts to phones and tablets without a download. The grid is the compromise: five reels by four rows is twenty symbol positions on a portrait screen, so fruit low-pays lose detail first.
The cues match value better than the era’s average: cut-ins for larger character wins, percussion when the wheel changes the round. A Rolling Reels cascade sounds like several wins but is one game cycle — and cannot resolve in under 2.5 seconds.
One page in the field publishes a per-symbol table for this game. We reproduce it unedited, then flag the open question.
Reproduced from the single page publishing a Tarzan paytable, 9 August 2026. The × notation is theirs.
Two ceilings, routinely mixed up. The maximum game-round win is the Bonus Wheel’s top jackpot leg at 1,000× your stake. The maximum line win is the wild’s five-of-a-kind award, 800×.
Nothing there says whether that 800× multiplies your total stake or your line bet. So we keep the publisher’s own notation and print no pound column.
The volatility lives in the wild: 90×, 240×, 800× — the symbol that stacks in the base game and grows fifteen deep in the free spins. The fruit tier does the survival work, flat at 4×.
Open the information panel in the lobby you are playing in: that paytable is the build’s own, and it settles base and awards.
Why ranking pages disagree on RTP, max win and studio: they document different games.
Search Tarzan slot from Britain and the first page mixes American floor machines, other studios’ free-play pages and an Amazon toy listing. The Edgar Rice Burroughs estate licensed widely; every licensee built its own.

What the number-one page says
The page ranking first in Britain states that Tarzan slots was “developed by Bally Technologies (now part of Scientific Games/Light & Wonder) under license from the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate”.
What the rights holder published itself
Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. published the Las Vegas announcement of 10 February 2011: “Aristocrat’s newest video slot game, Tarzan® Lord of the Jungle™, has just received certification for all GLI jurisdictions.” Aristocrat publishes the same specification today.
Why we print the conflict
The newsroom names Aristocrat, and Aristocrat lists both cabinets — so the attribution here is Aristocrat. The Bally claim is named, not overwritten.
1 · Read the studio badge in the game footer
Every demo frame and lobby tile names its provider: 96.48% for a Games Global build says nothing about a Ready Play Gaming one.
2 · Count the rows, then look for a wheel
The Games Global game is a 5×4 grid on 40 fixed lines with a wheel bonus. A progressive meter on top means Aristocrat; no wheel, one of the other three.
3 · Shopping for the cabinet is a different market
British searches for tarzan slot machine for sale land on fruit-machine dealers and auction listings, not this game. The demo is above.
All 40 lines are fixed, so coin value is the whole decision — British licence conditions made the others for you.
1 · Set your stake in £
The studio build runs 0.40 to 40.00 a spin; a British lobby stops lower: £5 per game cycle from age 25, £2 for ages 18 to 24. Pick a coin value and stay there.
2 · Read the information panel before anything else
Open the menu or the i icon. The Return to Player line, wheel rules and symbol awards for your build live there — no studio sheet publishes the return.
3 · Spin, and expect the clock to hold you back
Every UKGC-licensed lobby must leave 2.5 seconds between game cycles — the rule, not a loading delay. A Rolling Reels sequence is one cycle.
4 · Track the trigger: three Bonus Wheel scatters
Three or more scatters open the wheel, and the count sets its prizes: three puts a 200× jackpot leg in play, four 400×, five 1,000×. The free-spins leg is a flat 12 spins.
5 · Set your limits at registration, not later
Deposit limits, loss limits, reality checks and time-outs are built into a British account; set them while calm. Gamstop covers self-exclusion across every UKGC-licensed operator.
6 · Cash out through the rail you deposited with
British accounts run in £ and settle back to the deposit source — debit cards, Apple Pay, pay-by-bank. Credit cards cannot be used for gambling in Great Britain, including e-wallets loaded from one.
Five differences, all from Gambling Commission licence conditions rather than the studio: no autoplay; no turbo or quick-spin; no illusion of control; no return at or below your stake celebrated as a win; reality checks on a set interval. The 2019 conditions brought the first four.
SI 2025/215 attached the condition to every remote casino licence: £5 for all adults from 9 April 2025, £2 for ages 18 to 24 from 21 May 2025. Online slots only, measured per game cycle — from initiating a game until all money staked is lost or all winnings are delivered.
Two things we do not state: whether a British lobby offers a feature buy, and what an operator’s game-contribution list says. Both are per-operator — check the information panel and game rules.
Headlines change weekly and by operator. The five terms that decide what an offer is worth do not.
Read five things in the operator’s terms before you claim: the wagering multiple and its base — bonus only, or deposit plus bonus, which roughly doubles the work; game weighting; maximum bet while wagering; maximum cashout; expiry.
Mega Casino prints this. Deposit £25, take the 100% match, and wagering is 10× the bonus — not deposit plus bonus — so you turn over £250, slots only. At 96.48% that costs an expected £8.80 against a £25 bonus, with a £5 max bet while you wager.
Change one word and it inverts. A 35× on deposit plus bonus offer on a £20 deposit means £40 × 35 = £1,400 of turnover at an expected £49.28 for a £20 bonus. The base of the multiple matters more than its size.
Game weighting is the step most people skip. Slots usually count 100%, table games far less, and licensed-IP or higher-volatility titles are sometimes weighted down or excluded. Search the operator’s game contribution list before you opt in.
Two things specific to Britain. Advertised bonuses must show their significant terms where you decide, so the wagering line is visible before you click. And credit cards cannot be used for gambling here — licence condition 6.1.2 since 14 April 2020. Sweepstakes answer American state law.
No bonus code appears here: none of the four operators above required one.
We looked for Tarzan in nine British lobbies. This is what came back.
Not a legal question. Games Global Operations Limited, which owns this catalogue, holds Gambling Commission account 58841 and states so in its own footer. Its games are in British lobbies; this one is not.
Nor is it proof of a negative: a title can sit behind a login that never gets crawled. It is the check a player can run.
Licences from the Commission’s register, offers from each operator’s page, 9 August 2026.
Every account number came from the register, not a footer: MrQ trades under Tek Fox Ltd, active since 29 September 2023; Grosvenor under Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, since 11 March 2022; Mega Casino under Skill On Net Limited, since 1 November 2014.
Casumo shows why. Its old licence — Casumo Services Limited, account 39265 — reads surrendered on 3 November 2023. Not a warning about the brand: the register also shows Recro Limited, account 61549, holding an active remote casino licence from 21 December 2023 at the same Malta address.
Five checks, each a click. One: the footer’s licence account number on the Commission’s register — Casino, Remote, status Active. Two: Gamstop. Three: the account in £ GBP. Four: your deposit rail — debit card, Apple Pay, pay-by-bank; credit cards are not an option here. Five: the wagering line before you opt in.
Wanted this game rather than the theme? A British account cannot reach it; the demo above is the closest route. For the jungle, the clone-map is three away.
Read on 9 August 2026. No aggregate rating for this title is worth publishing, so none is made here: four recurring themes, paraphrased and anonymous.
Long-running threads land on one summary: Games Global is the old Microgaming renamed, and the run of large-format originals is over. Paraphrased.
A thread on this title describes reaching the 200× jackpot leg once in a long run, with free spins and hippo picks far more often. Paraphrased; one run, not a rate.
British players post regularly about games disappearing from a lobby or returning a country-block message. Paraphrased across threads.
The 2.5-second minimum and the loss of turbo and autoplay draw steady grumbling — and steady correction, with players quoting the rule accurately. Paraphrased.
Method: themes aggregated from public player discussion in British search results, in our own words. Nothing is quoted; no poster is identified.
Dated changes to the game, its ownership and this review. Version v1.0, published 9 August 2026.
Next entry triggers: a return figure on a Games Global page, this title reaching a UKGC-licensed lobby, a change to the stake caps, the RTS updates effective 30 June 2026 — or a scored alternative revising its return. Offers re-checked on a 30-day cycle.
We test every casino we list and review every game against the maths its studio publishes. Claire Wilson wrote this review on 9 August 2026.
Offer terms we cannot verify at source. A licence we cannot confirm on the register. A lobby claim we cannot reproduce. An attribution that contradicts the rights holder. A number whose base nobody states — which is why the paytable stays in its publisher’s notation, never converted into pounds.
Claire Wilson reviews slots and audits game libraries and returns; she wrote this one and its arithmetic. Andrew Murray, our Compliance & Responsible Gambling Auditor, ran the quality review and every regulatory figure. David Clarke, Editor-in-Chief, signed it off.
Four criteria, five points each — every row verified on a UKGC-licensed operator’s own page.
Theme — how close the setting and symbol cast sit to a jungle canopy. Maths — how near the published return sits to the 96.48% cited for Tarzan, less a point where volatility differs. Features — bonus wheel, cascading reels, wilds that grow or expand. UK availability — verified UKGC lobbies, three or more scoring full.
Gorilla Gold Megaways
Raging Rhino
The Wild Life Extreme
Gorilla Gold Megaways scores highest: four or more scatters open a bonus wheel choosing between free spins and Super Spins, cascades are built in, and Blueprint’s 97.00% sits above the Tarzan figure. It drops a maths point: LeoVegas lists its volatility as high, where Tarzan reads medium.
Raging Rhino is the row for reach: four UKGC lobbies verified. Its 95.91% sits below the Tarzan figure, and three to six Diamond Scatters award up to 50 free spins across 4,096 ways. It drops feature points: no wheel, no cascade.
The Wild Life Extreme is the feature-chaser’s row: expanding wilds turn sticky in the free spins, the nearest thing to Tarzan’s growing stack, and Grosvenor’s 5p minimum is the lowest floor here. But Grosvenor prints RTP = 94%: £6.00 per £100 staked, double Gorilla Gold’s.
Jungle Jim El Dorado is the obvious near-miss — same catalogue, published return 96.31%, cascading reels, an actual jungle. No row: the only operator pages we could verify were Finnish and Swedish.
Following the animal rather than the jungle? Wild Panda sits in the same big-animal family — our Wild Panda slot review covers it. Many British players meet these games through clip-led channels, the lady luck slots corner of YouTube among them: good for previewing a bonus, not for judging frequency.
A match-scored shortlist, not a top-ten: three rows is what we could verify.
Answered by the desk that read the studio pages and the register.
Is the Tarzan slot available for real money at UKGC-licensed casinos, or only on casino floors?
On 9 August 2026 we could not find it in a British lobby: searches across nine UKGC-licensed operators returned no Tarzan game page. The catalogue’s owner, Games Global, holds GB account 58841 — a catalogue absence, not a restriction. Check the operator’s own library, by title and studio.
Does the Tarzan slot count fully toward UK bonus wagering?
Contribution is set per operator, and with no British lobby carrying the title there is no list to read. Licensed-IP and higher-volatility slots are most often weighted down or excluded. Search the contribution list before you opt in.
Who made it, and when was it released?
Built by Microgaming, released in December 2016 — one database logs 16 December 2016. The catalogue passed to Games Global in May 2022. The Aristocrat cabinets are a different line: Tarzan Lord of the Jungle was certified for GLI jurisdictions in February 2011.
Are there wilds, cascades or a wheel bonus?
All three. The Tarzan logo is a stacked wild, substituting for all but the Bonus Wheel scatter. Rolling Reels cascades run inside the free spins, the wild stack growing one per cascade up to fifteen. Three or more scatters open the wheel: a jackpot, a multiplier, twelve free spins or Pick-a-Potamus.
Why might the demo not load?
In order: reload (demo frames are lazy-loaded), turn off any content blocker (the frames are third-party), try another browser. If it still will not run, the provider most likely does not serve that title in your location.
Can I play it on mobile, and can I change the spin speed?
Mobile, yes — an HTML5 build that runs in a phone browser without a download. Spin speed, no: a UKGC-licensed lobby has no autoplay and no turbo, because speed-up features were removed by licence condition and 2.5 seconds must pass between game cycles. A turbo button is a reason to check the register.

Every question below came from Google’s People Also Ask box in Great Britain on 9 August 2026. Game-specific questions sit in the Q&A above.
The games went to Games Global, which bought Microgaming’s portfolio in May 2022. The original company kept its platform business as Apricot.
No, but it owns the catalogue. Games Global was founded in 2021 and bought the portfolio in 2022; it lists over 1,300 titles and holds Gambling Commission account 58841. Check the public register.
The share of stakes a game returns over the long run: a 96% return leaves a 4% edge, or £4 per £100 staked.
Because you are 18 to 24. Online slot stakes are capped at £2 per game cycle for that band, £5 from age 25, under SI 2025/215. The £5 tier began 9 April 2025, the £2 tier 21 May 2025. Slots only.
A wild substitutes for other symbols to complete a line, but not the bonus scatter. The Tarzan logo replaces everything except the Bonus Wheel.
