Slot machine suppliers draw a lot of inspiration from the cinematic universe for their productions. For example, NetEnt has already released a slot on the Narcos theme. Microgaming has also unveiled its slot machine Jurassic Park. 

Lately, we have also looked into one of this iGaming supplier's other creations. This is Tomb Raider! Here too, this slot machine is inspired by one of the greatest successes in cinema and video games: Lara Croft.

In this guide, the 8Fortuna teams offer you an analysis as detailed and complete as possible of this slot. We have actually spent a lot of time studying: 

• how this slot machine works,

• its details, its bonuses, but also its return to player rate,

• some simple but effective strategies to hope to win money.

Discover the Tomb Raider slot machine

Tomb Raider is a slot machine that was launched in 2004. It is one of the oldest we have worked on so far. It is a Microgaming creation, one of the first suppliers on the market.

Directly inspired by the Lara Croft universe, this slot machine features an archaeological adventure theme, with the main heroine of this world as the central character.

This slot machine works on the basis of a 5x3 grid, with 15 paylines in total, for a potential win of x7,500, making it a potentially profitable slot machine.

On the other hand, as this slot machine is old (over 20 years old), its graphics are starting to look dated. The gaming experience, as pleasant as it is, inevitably suffers, especially in comparison with more recent slot machines.

Symbols on the Tomb Raider slot

The operation of the Tomb Raider slot machine is extremely simple. The "Tomb Raider" logo is the Wild symbol. It replaces all other symbols on the page to allow the creation of potentially very profitable combinations.

Lara Croft, the character, is the Scatter symbol. Finally, the "Idol" symbol is the bonus card. This unlocks extra chances to significantly boost your winning opportunities.

To complete this point, you can read the SpinGranny review.

The bonus on the Lara Croft slot machine

On the Lara Croft slot machine, it is possible to be awarded up to 10 free spins. For this to happen, three (or more) Lara Croft symbols must land on the grid. If this is the case, absolutely all winnings won during these ten spins are tripled, which can allow you to reach extremely large multipliers, especially as the counter is reset as soon as three Lara Croft symbols appear again.

Another bonus can be discovered, this time on condition that three Bonus symbols appear during a spin. If this is the case, you launch a bonus mini-game, which consists of selecting from 12 idols. Each of them hides a specific win. You then win points which will then be "exchanged" for multipliers, which can also allow your bankroll to increase.

How to play the Tomb Raider slot machine?

As an old game, the Tomb Raider slot machine relies on a "vintage" operating mode. This means that this slot machine is really very simple to understand and use.

It all starts with the betting phase. You must exchange your money for coins, which will then be used to activate the slot machine. Per spin, you can spend from 0.05 to 5 coins, which corresponds to a spend of 0.05 to 150 pounds.

The slot machine will then activate. The result comes up automatically. This means that no matter what happens: win, bonus or loss, you will be automatically notified of what is going to happen.

Finally, if you want to set up a simple but effective strategy, based on respecting the amount of your spins, you can activate the auto-play feature. This consists of automatically relaunching a spin as soon as the initial game stops, and so on.

Volatility, RTP and potential payout

On Tomb Raider, the RTP is 96.56%. This is a rather decent return to player rate. Indeed, the average for slot machines is 95 - 97%. In fact, we can consider this game to be a game that pays out.

Regarding bets, the lowest bet is 0.05 pounds. This is extremely rare and worth highlighting. The maximum bet is 150 pounds per spin. In other words, the Tomb Raider slot machine is accessible to absolutely everyone!

Finally, the maximum win is x7,500. It is quite high. Granted, it is not the 10,000 or 20,000 found at some suppliers, but for a rather old game, we can consider this as being very attractive.

Are there other versions of the Tomb Raider slot machine?

The first version of the Tomb Raider slot machine, the one we are presenting to you in this content, was indeed followed by other, more recent and therefore more advanced games. This slot machine thus has a "sequel", called Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword. This Microgaming slot was released in 2008. It is, once again, a fairly old game, but one that met with quite significant success!
