Tomb Raider Slot Review

Dive into a tomb and escape with plenty of valuables with the Tomb Raider slot machine from Microgaming. Will you end up staying in the game as Lara Croft?

How To Play Tomb Raider Slot Machine

The Tomb Raider slot machine is one of two Tomb Raider slot machines from Microgaming. While this is the earliest machine that they produced with their licence, by all accounts it is the far superior of the two. We must say, we are inclined to agree with this opinion.

This is a 5 reel, 15-pay line slot machine. The maximum bet is 75 coins. The game is, of course, based around the world-famous Tomb Raider games created by EIDOS.

It is a visually fantastic game (we will come to a few of the symbols that the game boasts soon) but it is really let down by its audio. It is very Las Vegas-style and doesn’t really remind you too much of the Tomb Raider franchise. That being said, we had absolutely no issues playing it, despite these sound issues. There are a few symbols in this game:

• You have your standard 10, J, Q, K and A symbols.
• A tiger, Lara crouching, and a gadget symbol.
• Wild symbol is your Tomb Raider symbol. As with other wild symbols, it can be used to replace any other symbol in the game (except the scatter and bonus symbol)
• Scatter symbol: this is a Lara Croft with her guns drawn. If you get three of these, you will enter the free spins mode (more on that soon)
• Bonus symbol: This is the idol symbol. If you get three or more of these, then you will enter the bonus round. Again, more on that soon.

Overall, the game is very easy to play. There is nothing going on with the game that will make you majorly confused. You will be pleased to know that the payout on this machine is actually fairly high. While the jackpot doesn’t reach the heights that a progressive jackpot tends to offer, there is enough meat on the jackpot to make spin after spin on this game worth it.

Bonus Rounds & In-Game Features

There are two features that you need to be concerned with when you play the Tomb Raider slot. If you have played a slot machine before, and we are pretty sure you have, then there is going to be nothing too crazy here. It is pretty much standard fare:

• Free Spins Bonus: with this feature, you will be awarded at least 10 free spins. If you get more than three scatter symbols, you will be awarded with even more free spins. During the free spins, all of your winnings will be tripled. There is a chance that you will be able to earn even more free spins during play. We should, however, note that the chances of this are going to be relatively slim.
• Idol Bonus round: When you get three idols on the reels, you will enter the idol bonus round. Here, you will be asked to choose anywhere between three and five idol symbols that appear on the screen. You will have 12 of them to choose from. Behind each idol is a different bonus. Anything you find you can ‘keep’. You can actually earn up to 2,500x your original wager amount of you get lucky here! The minimum amount is 36x your initial stake when you triggered the bonus feature, and this certainly is not something to turn your nose up at.

Tomb Raider Mobile Slot

If you are one of those people who love the idea of exploring tombs ‘on the go’, then you will be pleased to know that the Tomb Raider slot machine also has a mobile version available. It looks and plays just as great as the desktop version. Despite this being an older game, it is optimised incredibly well. We really think that you are going to enjoy it.

Summary

Yes. It is true that this is the oldest Tomb Raider slot out there. It isn’t boasting the ‘bells and whistles’ that its successor tends to boast. We don’t feel it needs to, however. It is a simple game. It offers massive payouts. This makes it fantastic for inexperienced players who want to play around with a slot machine without being overwhelmed with features, as well as more experienced players who want to score those jackpots. Tomb Raider Slot comes highly recommended.
