Tomb Raider Pokies – Laura Croft Slots Action

The first Tomb Raider game defined an era in video gaming, before going on to influence the entire action-adventure genre, both in video games and on the big screen. Microgaming own the license for the pokie versions of this well-known and much-loved series, and this pokie, which can be found on Spin Palace, was their first creation.

 

Gameplay

 

The classic EA game is a little dated, and the graphics of this pokie match. Both were created some time ago, so this is excusable. The fact that there are some high paying symbols, including the wild, which pays 7,500x when you get 5 of them, also helps to take the attention away from these somewhat limited aesthetics.

 

Betting

 

There is a minimum bet of just $0.75 on this pokie, which comes from the fact that you can bet just $0.05 per payline. If you’d prefer not to play all of the paylines then you can reduce this amount further, picking and choosing how many lines you want. The same goes for the higher end, and if you play all lines and bet the maximum then you’ll be risking $37.50 per spin.

 

Bonus Rounds

 

There are two features, unlocked with the totem symbol and the Lara Croft symbol, both of which also return an instant win amount when you land enough of them on the reels. The bonus round is known as the Tomb Bonus and is a fun little “choose-me” mini-game, whilst the free spins round will give you 10 free spins and a multiplier of 3x. These free spins can be re-triggered and you can unlock the Tomb Bonus in the free spins round.

 

Summary

 

The Tomb Raider game was a game changer, and this pokie is definitely not as impressive or as revolutionary. It’s fun though, and there are also some big wins available, and we can’t ask for much more from a game that was created many years ago.
