Tomb Raider - One Of
Microgaming's Most Popular Games
We
give you the verdict on Tomb Raider - one of Microsoft's
most popular progressive jackpot slot games.
Tomb Raider is
Microgaming's first game to use an existing, established
brand to provide a game theme.
The animation that
introduces the game is really good. It sets the scene for
the game perfectly. The animation of the icons is also
great. When you hit the wild symbol, Lara dives scross the
icon as the sound of gunshots rings in your ears. And when
you get two or more scatter symbols, the animation zooms
right in to her eyeballs.
That said, a few more Tomb
Raider icons, rather than the playing card-based icons used
for the lower-paying symbols, would also have been
nice.
The sounds are very well
done and really add to the feeling of being in an
underground tomb. The reels sound like stone rubbing aginst
stone as they spin. There is a constant low growling sound
in the background as if in an earthquake is about to begin,
and the sound effects on each win are great. When you
trigger the 'idols' bonus feature, there is a drumroll and
the cavern is filled with the background sound of dripping
water and bats screeching.
Tomb Raider has two bonus
features, a wild symbol and a scatter symbol.
The free spins feature is
triggered by three or more scatter symbols. You get ten free
spins where all wins are tripled.
The second bonus feature
is triggered by getting three or more 'bonus' symbols. In
the feature you get to pick as many idols as you had
symbols. Each idol has a value hidden inside it that varies
from 12 to 500 coins.
The maximum payout is
37,500 coins if you play the maximum five coins per line,
but this could be trippled should you hit the win in the
free spins feature.
Tomb Raider can be played
at Golden Reef Casino - they are currently giving £100
(or $100) free to all new players who deposit £100 (or
$100) or more.
