Tomb Raider from Microgaming: Slot Review - Lara Croft takes us on a slot adventure

Join Lara Croft on an epic tomb raiding adventure as she is on the hunt for some highly sought after idols!

I’ve been a fan of Lara Croft since her tomb raiding adventures began on the Playstation One. I’ve even sat through the two Tomb Raider movies with Angelina Jolie so I would consider myself a bit of a fan when it comes to this character!

In the game, we find our heroine in search of treasured tombs and it is up to you to help her find them. The game has 5 reels and 15 paylines and comes with some cool features such as free spins and a Tomb Bonus game that will have you searching those tombs for a long time to come!

Special Features

The first feature worth mentioning is the Wild symbol and this is depicted by the game’s logo. It substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter symbol which is depicted by an image of Lara Croft and the Tomb Bonus symbol.

If you manage to land 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels then you will activate the Free Spins bonus game. You will be awarded 10 free spins in this feature and all wins are tripled during free spins. This greatly enhances your chances of a big win and it is also worth noting that free spins can be retriggered in this game.

The standout feature of this game is the Tomb Bonus game. This feature is triggered when you land 3 or more Bonus Idol symbols across an active payline. You will be taken to a new screen where you have to pick some idols from 12 idols. Each idol contains a different bonus amount. If the bonus round is triggered by 3 idols then a player stands to win between 36 and 1500 bonus points whereas if the bonus round is triggered by 5 idols then a player stands to win between 60 and 2500 bonus points. There is a big haul of treasure to be had here if you land the right winning combinations in this game!

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The Tomb Raider theme is superbly represented throughout this slot. It really does capture the look and feel of Lara Croft as she seeks out treasure in some mysterious tombs.

The symbols are nice and big and a real visual treat for Tomb Raider fans and they spin wonderfully on the reels. I also liked the animations of the symbols and how they popped brightly when you formed a winning line on the reels.

The music is quite eerie and foreboding but really adds to the tension of the game as you venture further into the tombs in search of those idols.

Our Verdict on Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is made by Microgaming and it’s quite a simple game to play compared to other slots out there but that is the beauty of this game.
