Hands up. Who doesn’t love Lara Croft? If so, you should leave now as we love her, which is why we’re over-the-moon that there is a Tomb Raider mobile slot to get involved with. Sure the films and the computer games were great but could you make money whilst playing them? No you couldn’t.
Tomb Raider mobile has been on the scene a long time now and that is telling somewhat in the graphics. You can understand why it won the video slot of the year award in 2004 as back then the graphics would have been pretty special but there are a fair few games around now that are visually much better.
However, the game was launched by Microgaming and the one thing about their games, regardless of look, is that they really hold their value when it comes to gameplay. Tomb Raider mobile is still one of the most popular games out there. I mean, Lara is a pretty girl but there’s much more to this game than a pretty face.
Tomb Raider mobile is a 3 reel video slot with 15 paylines. You can play up to 5 coins and there are varying levels of coin value. Playing the lowest coin value, with just 1 coin and on just 1 payline will see you betting just $0.01, whilst at the other end of the scale you can find yourself betting $75 per spin by taking the maximum amount of lines/coins and value. Therefore, whether you are an established video slots player who is used to higher stakes, or a newcomer who wants to test the water, there is a stake value for you.
The gameplay on Tomb Raider mobile is fantastic as it is a very slick game which keeps you hooked with regular payouts and both a free spin and bonus round feature. As well as all standard symbols there are bonus symbols, scatter symbols and wild symbols.
The biggest regular payout is to the tune of 37,500 coins – quite a prize if you’re playing the max coin value – and this is paid out for 5 wild symbols – the Tomb Raider logo. The wild symbols also act as any wild symbol should; helping you to make up paylines by substituting in for other symbols.
The free spin feature is triggered by hitting 3-5 scatter symbols – in this case, a picture of Lara in that familiar pose of twin pistols crossed across her chest – and during this feature you will get 10 free spins where any winnings will be trebled and added to your payline. During the feature you can even trigger another free spin round so the winnings keep on coming.
The bonus game is simple but effective and it’s all about finding 3-5 of the golden tomb symbols. Once triggered you will be taken to a scene full of golden tombs and will be required to choose a number of them where they will each then reveal a value – your bonus amount.
Ultimately this game is simple but effective; it’s fully understandable why it’s still so popular and despite the lack of flashing lights, the addictive sounds and all other bells and whistles that come with modern day mobile casino games, it’s an extremely playable and enjoyable game. Oh and then there’s Lara. We did mention there’s Lara, right?
