Adventurer, bounty hunter and heroine Lara Croft needs a sidekick, and you’ve got the job. Microgaming’s 5 reel, 15 payline online slot, Tomb Raider, offers players the action-packed adventure of a lifetime as they seek out fabled treasures and mind-boggling riches.
Based on the Eidos Interactive video game that also spawned a Hollywood movie, this slot brings you all the action and excitement of the game that first captured hearts and minds over a decade ago, along with a 7500 coin fixed jackpot.
Tomb Raider Basics
Tomb Raider opens with a short clip of an animated Lara Croft on another epic quest and sets the scene before you move on to spin the reels, trigger the special features and bonus rounds, and claim big rewards.
Tomb Raider’s reels feature the traditional playing card symbols of the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, as well as a game logo symbol, a Plan symbol, a Tiger symbol, an Idol symbol, and a Lara Croft symbol.
The game logo symbol is the Wild symbol, while the Lara Croft symbol is the Scatter symbol. The Scatter symbol will trigger the Free Spins round, and the Idol bonus symbol will activate the Bonus Round. Even more life will be breathed into the game when players get winning combinations as the main reel symbols are animated after every successful spin.
How to Play Tomb Raider
To join the glamorous and glorified grave-robber, Lara Croft, in plundering the treasures of the ancients in Microgaming’s Tomb Raider slots, you first need to select your coin denomination using the Increase or Decrease signs. Using the Select Lines button will allow to enable up to 15 paylines – remember that winning combinations only pay out if they appear in enabled paylines. Then select the number of coins you want to wager per line using the Select Coins button and there’s a maximum of 5 coins per line. Hit the Spin button to get going.
Wilds and Scatters
The game logo Wild symbol will substitute for any other symbol, with the exception of the Lara Croft Scatter symbol, to form winning combinations at Microgaming casinos. It’s also a symbol that pays; 5 Wild symbols in an enabled payline will bag you the Tomb Raider fixed 7500-coin jackpot.
The Lara Croft Scatter symbol not only offers Scatter payouts, but also triggers the Free Spins round. Two or more of these symbols on the reels will earn you rewards, and if you get 5 of them, you’ll ein 400 coins. 3 or more of the Scatter symbol will activate the Free Spins round in which you will receive 10 free spins with tripled payouts. You will also be able to retrigger the free spins.
Bonus Round
Should 3 or more Idol Bonus Symbols appear on an enabled payline, you will be taken to Tomb Raider’s eerie Tomb Bonus Round, made all the more real by the brilliant graphics and awesome sound effects, including the sound of dripping water. You will find an array of idols in this tomb, of which you must select 3. Each of these ancient statues will reveal the bonus coins you’ve won.
If this round was triggered by three Idol Bonus symbols, you could win between 36 and 1500 coins, and if the round was activated by 4 Idol Bonus symbols, you could win between 48 and 2000 coins. Should the bonus round have been triggered by 5 Idol Bonus symbols, you could lay claim to anything between 60 and 2500 coins.
