A few weeks ago Aristocrat’s Tarzan Lord of the Jungle video slot game arrived at the Fiesta in Henderson.

It is almost impossible to walk by this machine without stopping to watch. It has a huge screen, fabulous graphics and great sound. There were four machines but I had to wait for one to open so I could play.

That was fine because there was a lot to watch – wheels spinning, elephants stampeding, Tarzan yelling while swinging across the screen and, best of all, the oooohs and ahhhh’s of people winning.

The game has 30 lines and a +20 credit ante bet with a 50-credit minimum bet and a 150-credit max.

"Tarzan" has four progressive jackpots that include Mini, starting at $10; Minor, starting at $30; Major, starting at $500; and Grand, starting at $250,000. You have to be playing the max to be eligible for the Grand progressive.

Tarzan Lord of the Jungle’s exciting bonus features include: Tarzan, Stampede, Kerchak Free Games, Monkey, and Progressive Wheel.

In the Tarzan bonus, our hero swings across the screen causing one reel to be replaced by three SPECIAL WILD symbols. All reels are held for additional Tarzan bonus spins.

In the Stampede bonus, a random number of bonus symbols appear above the reel area. The game pays all symbols as scattered in any position, including bonus above the reel area.

In the Kerchak Free Games feature, all wins are multiplied by two, three, five or 10 during the free games.

It’s all business in the Monkey bonus feature. When the monkey appears, it will randomly select any symbol in the reel except Tarzan. All instances of the selected symbol turn into a SPECIAL WILD.

When three or more scattered wheel symbols appear the Progressive Wheel Feature is triggered.

You can win progressive jackpots along with bonuses, credits or free games.

To start this feature, you can choose to spin the wheel by pressing the spin button or you can "spin" the wheel right on the screen! Each spin of the wheel increases the values of the potential wins.

If you land on a credit amount, a game feature or a jackpot amount you get to keep on spinning the wheel. When a free game feature is triggered you exit the wheel feature and start the free game feature.

During the free spins any time you have a winning pay, Tarzan fights with at least one gorilla at the bottom of the screen. With each gorilla he defeats your multiplier goes up for that spin.

This is a really fun game to play and the bonuses seem to hit often. I got into the Progressive Wheel feature and got seven spins, winning a minor jackpot (you can win the jackpots more than once) of $52.78 before I reached the free games.

I ended with $82 and could have played longer but a lot of people were waiting to play and I didn’t want to press my luck.
