Go on an adventure with Lara Croft and plunder some treasure!

I can remember as a young lad playing video games seeing the lovely Lara Croft for the first time. Now, as a kid, big breasts on anything was good enough. And then being able to see her come to life in the movies, well that was just sensory overload for a 10 year old boy.

Now, as an adult, we get to see Lara Croft in many forms. The Tomb Raider slot is one that comes to mind. It’s a direct spin off from the Tomb Raider series. Created by MicroGaming, it quickly become one of the most popular slots online.

The Tomb Raider slot is much like the earlier versions of the video game as far as graphics and looks go. This isn’t the Angelina Jolie version. Sorry! The design is nice and does still strike a chord with my inner 10 year old self.

Since this is a flash version of the game, you will be able to play it instantly without having to download any software. That also means you can play it on mobile devices. It’s compatible with Android and iOS operating systems.

But, this is also why the graphics won’t be out of this world. Flash games can’t handle the resources a downloaded game could. There’s always that tradeoff between quality of looks, and playability. However, if you are playing the flash version, it’s because you put a priority on being able to play instantly, or on a mobile device. Graphics shouldn’t get in the way of your opinion.

The gameplay itself is exactly like the standard, download version of Tomb Raider and has all the same features that players have grown to love. It’s a typical 5 reel slot that holds many of the characteristics of today’s, modern day slots.

There are some cool bonus features like free spins and the Tomb Bonus that make the slot unique and give its own identity. And of course, it does have the brand power of Tomb Raider that is enjoyable and fun to play.

Short game explanation

The Tomb Raider bonus features are where the action is at. This will be where you can win the biggest payoff in the game as well as free spins. There are 3 types of bonuses and features in Tomb Raider that will perform their own specific actions.

More on those in a second.

As always we need to cover the basics of the slot before getting ahead of ourselves.

Tomb Raider is a 5 reel, 15 payline slot. The min bet is just 0.75 which appeals to most casual slot players. The max bet isn’t that large compared to other slots at just 37.50.

The symbols in the game include 10 through Ace symbols. Lara Croft, a tiger and a pendant.

The wild symbol is the Tomb Raider logo and substitutes for all logos except the scatter and Tomb Bonus symbol. Five wild symbols will trigger the big payout of 7,500 coins.

The scatter is a close up of Lara Croft. She triggers the free spin bonus round that awards 10 free spins.

Finally, there is the Tomb Bonus symbol. All this does is act as a higher paying symbol that can award the second largest payout of up to 2,500 coins.

Pros

As with any slot there will be something to like and dislike. There are many positives to tomb Raider that come quickly to mind. The obvious is that you get to play Tomb Raider. This is a great franchise that appeals to a wide audience.

Next are the bonuses. You have the typical free spins, as well as wild symbols that actually payout; and an added bonus symbol that gives Tomb Raider a little extra kick in the pants.

Finally, this slot has a very low minimum and maximum bet. Most bankrolls can handle playing Tomb Raider, not just those with deep pockets.

Cons

The one disadvantage would be the lack of a real Autoplay feature. It does have one, but it only lets you select 10 or 5 spins at a time.

In game bonus features

The free spins are the most exciting part of Tomb Raider. You always get 10 free spins; so there’s no guessing on how many you’ll get. Which I like by the way. I like to know what I’m getting into, and Tomb Raider nourishes this need.

Not only does Lara Croft coddle my needs, she gives me more than I could ask for. During free spins, all wins are tripled no matter what. I do like a woman that delivers the goods and never keeps secrets.

Final thoughts

Tomb Raider has, and will be a mainstay in the slot universe. It’s technically an oldie, but still very much a goodie. When it first came out as a downloaded version, it was heralded as one of the best of its kind. And to this day, online casinos use this slot to promote their game libraries.

If you have never experienced the thrill and excitement of Tomb Raider, it’s time to see what everyone has been talking about. With free spins, Tomb Bonuses and the adventure, Tomb Raider will deliver on all fronts.
