WELCH, MN and LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - May 31, 2011) - Tarzan has been swinging into the hearts of casino players ever since the world premiere of Aristocrat Technologies' new Tarzan® Lord of the Jungle™ video slot game in March. Now the game is set to make its Midwest U.S. premiere at the dazzlingly tropical Treasure Island Resort & Casino in Welch, Minn.
A two-day celebration is planned to welcome Tarzan Lord of the Jungle to Treasure Island. The fun gets underway on Friday, June 3 with, appropriately enough, a "vine cutting" at 6 p.m. On hand to cut the vine from Treasure Island will be Paul Johnson, Director of Gaming and Mike Willson, Player Development Manger and Tarzan's favorite girl, Jane. Immediately following, players will be able to participate in a free pull until 10 p.m.
Then on Saturday, June 4 from 6 to 10 p.m., Jane will reward every lucky player who enters into any bonus round while playing the new game with a t-shirt, jungle hat or a set of mini binoculars. All of the fun takes place both days on the casino floor.
"We couldn't be more excited to host the premiere of the new Tarzan Lord of the Jungle game," Johnson said. "Our players know Treasure Island is the fun place to be because we offer the newest, most exciting games. So hosting the premiere perfectly fits our brand and our players' expectations."
The Tarzan Lord of the Jungle video slot game brings the myth and fantasy of the famous tale to life with dazzling graphics, stereo sound, five high-hit frequency bonus features and a four-level progressive with a giant top jackpot of $250,000!
Tarzan Lord of the Jungle is a fast-paced penny video slot, configured as a 30 line + 20 credit ante bet game with a 50-credit minimum bet and a 150-credit maximum bet. The big screen style action stretches top to bottom on Aristocrat's incredible VERVEhd™ monitor, named one of the "Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Products" by Casino Journal magazine. VERVEhd's 31.5" portrait monitor dramatically showcases Tarzan Lord of the Jungle's GEN7X™ capabilities in high def (1920x1080) graphics, 3D panoramic digital audio and player-adjustable sound. The action extends right to players' fingertips thanks to Aristocrat's amazing Nteractiv™ LCD Programmable button technology.
