The release of the video game Tomb Raider took the gaming world by storm back in 1996. Tomb Raider has since become a franchise. The game inspired the release of the movie that goes by the same name in 2001, which stars the infamous Angelina Jolie. The sequel to the film, Tomb Raider 2, was released in 2003. Tomb Raider Slot’s gaming experience and graphics borrow from both the game and the movies.
What is Tomb Raider Slot?
In 2004, Microgaming released one of the first movie-themed video slot games. It is one of the most popular 5-reel 15-payline video slot game. This online pokie was the first to introduce bonus in Free Spins.
How to play Tomb Raider Slot
The first step of playing any video slot game is to set the bet amount. In this game, you adjust the coin value by pressing the + and – signs located immediately below the coin denomination button. The coin value options are 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, or 0.5.
The next step is to select pay lines. You do this by clicking on “Select Lines”. You will only win if the winning combination lands on a line you played.
After selecting the lines, you wish to play; you have to specify the number of coins you want to play per line. The maximum is five coins per line. So, if you play all the lines and select the max coins allowed you will play 75 coins.
The final step is to click “Spin”. You can use the “Autoplay” option to set the game to spin a specific number of times non-stop.
You can play Tomb Raider Slots anywhere on the mobile casino app.
Tomb Raider Slots symbols
The game has the basic symbols 10, J, Q, K, and A. The mid-value symbols include the tiger, the crouching Lara Croft, and the gadget. The high-value symbols are;
- The Tomb Raider symbol – this acts as the wild symbol. It can substitute any other symbol aside from the Lara Croft symbol and the Idol Symbol. The more the wild symbols on a played line, the larger the winning.
- The Lara Croft symbol – it acts as the scatter symbol. This symbol earns cash as well as Free Spins. If you land 3, 4, or 5 Lara Croft symbols you win Free Spin bonus mode.
- The Idol symbol – this symbol grants entry into a bonus game called the Tomb Bonus. Landing three or more Idol symbols in a line multiplies the stake amount.
Tomb Raider Slot Animations
When you start the game, it plays an introductory video. In the video, you will see Lara Croft performing her unique moves. If any of the main symbols (Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, and the Idol) result in a win, an animated video appears. If it is the Lara Croft symbol, you see her eyes searching for the Idol. When it is the Tomb Raider logo, Lara runs across it firing shots, which you hear in the audio. In the case of the Idol symbol, you will see Lara’s hands picking it.
Tomb Raider Slot Bonuses
The game has two bonus modes; the Free Spins bonus mode and the Tomb Bonus.
Free Spins
When three or more scatter symbols (Lara Croft) appear in a line, you earn a Free Spins bonus. You will spin the reels ten times without diminishing earned coins. The bet amount and the pay lines in this mode remain the same as those that resulted in the Free Spins bonus. Winnings in this mode are triple the winnings in the regular mode.
Free Spins bonus mode can only be played again if three scatter symbols land on the same played pay line in any of the ten free spins.
Tomb Bonus
You activate this bonus mode by landing 3, 4, or 5 Idol symbols in a line (it has to be a played pay line). In this game mode, played on a different screen, you choose three idols out of the 12 that appear on the screen. A tomb atmosphere is created when you enter this game mode. The background is complemented by the sound of dripping water.
Each of the idols represents a random reward. This reward is multiplied by the number of coins you bet for each pay line.
How big can you win?
When you play Tomb Raider slots at a real money casino, you can earn as much as 7,500 times your stake amount. You win this jackpot by landing 5 Tomb Raider symbols in a played pay line.
In the Tomb Bonus mode, the winnings amount depends on the number of Idol symbols that triggered the game mode. Three idols will earn you between 36 and 1,500 bonus points. Four idols will earn you between 48 and 2,000 bonus points. If the game mode is activated by five idols, you can earn between 60 and 2,500 bonus points.
