Review of the Microgaming Slot Tomb Raider

If you have not played the popular Tomb Raider video game, you must have at least watched the action-adventure thriller movie with the same name with the stunning Angelina Jolie portrayed as Lara Croft.

As in the movie and the video game, in the slot, Lara Croft is trying to obtain ancient artifacts from the enemy. This action-packed slot powered by Microgaming focuses not just on design and sounds but also on a gripping story which is worshipped by many people from all around the world. That being said, its huge popularity does not come as a surprise.

The slot has 5 reels and 30 pay lines and belongs to the group of non-progressive video slots. It features a wild and a scatter symbol, a multiplier, bonus rounds and free spins. It is often described as the most graphically brilliant slot available on the market. Plus, it features a Super Mode which is randomly activated and it dramatically improves the chances of winning. Check out the rest of this review for more details about the game.

Overview of the Popular Slot

Let us start with the design of the slot and its symbols. As you would expect from an action-adventure themed slot, guns, swords, keys and tombs are inevitable. The symbols are self-explanatory and they pretty much reflect the theme of adventure. The most important symbol is the Portrait of Lara Croft which functions as a wild and leads to the highest jackpot. There is also and Excalibur Key which has the function of a scatter. An ace, a king, a queen, a Jack and a ten function as symbols too.

The slot offers one of the best animations on the market which can be equally enjoyed on the mobile version. Some describe its brilliant design as outdated and this is pretty much expected since the slot was released back in 2008. Other available features are: an Autoplay option, bonus round, free spins and randomly triggered Super Mode. In terms of payouts, this slot is one of the highest paying online slots with a RTP of 97.00%.

Symbols, Paylines & Paytable

In order to win the jackpot of the game worth 7,500 coins, you will have to get a complete line i.e. 5 Lara Croft portrait symbols on any activated pay line. With a maximum number of coins, the potential jackpot is 75,000 coins in total. This is the biggest prize you can win when playing on the Tomb Raider slot. Once you achieve three same symbols on a pay line, no matter which ones, you will earn winnings. For instance, if you get 3 Portraits you win 75 coins. Three guns will bring you 25 coins and three As automatically win 10 coins.

Naturally, players prefer everything else to card symbols since winning combinations based on card symbols have lowest values. A desired symbol among the players is the Waterfall symbol. Five of these in a pay line win a payout of 2,000 coins. Higher winnings are expected in the bonus rounds and free spins. Unfortunately, the slot does not offer a Double up option. Some players do not see this as a disadvantage due to the belief that the chances to win in a Double up game are extremely low.

Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

Bonuses and Free Spins are always available everywhere during the game. The most surprising one is probably the Super Mode feature that is triggered completely at random and awards you with 5 free spins. The Free Spins bonus is triggered by getting three or more scatter symbols i.e. three or more Excalibur Keys. The bonus rounds are not only connected to the wild and the scatter, since getting five passport symbols in a line leads you to the Global Adventure Bonus room where you are taken away to exotic locations such as Nepal, Bolivia, London, Tokyo and Ghana.

At random, you can also uncover a Hidden Treasure which awards you with a cash prize or 2x multiplier or even an access to a completely new bonus feature known as the Shootout Bonus Room. Here, Lara Croft is excited to shoot in 15 different disc symbols in order to discover the one with the highest value. The maximum multiplier of the game is 5x, so the chances to increase your winnings are enormous.

A Great Slot with Many Features

If I was asked to describe my experience with Tomb Rider Slot I would say it was fascinating. I am an adventure seeker and the theme of the slot together with the design and the sound brought about an adrenaline burst. I also like the unconventional bonus round pattern. Most slots usually offer a bonus round which is activated by getting 3 or more scatters but this slot offers different bonus rounds not only activated by the scatter symbol but also with the other regular symbols such as the passport. My favorite Bonus room is the Shootout Room. I am always enjoying myself when Lara Croft is shooting the disc while eagerly waiting for the highest prize to appear.

For the adrenaline junkies over there, I would also recommend Pharaoh`s Treasure Slot and Battle of the Gods. Although quite different one from another, they both offer an action-packed experience with huge winning opportunities.
