Tomb Raider – Secret of the Sword is a 5-reel slot machine with thirty win lines. The game has amazing animations, a host of bonuses and flexible bet options. Microgaming has designed the slot inspired by the video game Tomb Raider and the same-name movie starring Angelina Jolie. In this slot you’ll see a beautiful Lara Croft exploring yet another mystery trying to find pieces of an ancient sword. The slot features a scatter, a wild, and a few bonus games that fit the theme and give you great winning chances.
Apart from the four symbols showing Lara in various situations – riding a bike, firing two pistols, etc. – the slot also features playing card icons from ten to ace. The card icons are less valuable than character icons, as it is in most slot games, with the top reward being x100 times a bet for five Aces on a payline. The second-largest jackpot of 2000 coins is paid out for five symbols depicting Lara against a waterfall background.
Before every spin you can alter a value of the bet per spin by adjusting a coin size ($0.01 to $0.25) and selecting the number of coins you want to wager (up to 10). The floor and ceiling bets per spin are $0.01 and $60, respectively.
The Lara’s Face symbol serves as a wild replacing regular symbols to complete a winning payline. Besides, five wild icons produce the slot’s grand jackpot at x7500 times a bet. The minimum wild win amounts to 5 coins, for two of a kind.
The black artifact with a green gem in it represents a scatter. Five scatters pay out x100. Three or more scatters appeared in any position start the non-retriggerable free spins round augmented by the Rolling Reels feature. During the free spins all symbols that have formed a winning combination disappear causing new symbols to fill in the empty spots, which can potentially create new winning combos. With each consecutive win, a multiplier increases up to x5 times.
This is a randomly triggered bonus that can be activated any time in a normal playing mode pumping up your chances for winning. You get five free spins with a few wild positions assigned at random that stay fixed through the duration of the Super Mode bonus.
This stunning side game offers potentially high payouts, yet triggering it may be a somewhat challenging task. The feature starts when all the five reels get activated. A reel gets activated when the Passport symbol lands on the central position of the reel, which causes a blue indicator above the reel to switch on. As you continue betting and spinning, you finally may reach the point where all the five reels become activated, thus starting the Global Adventure.
At the beginning of this event, you’ll have to choose one of five locations on the world map. Each location has six hidden treasures to pick from. There are four kinds of winnings you can be awarded after selecting a certain hidden treasure: all wins for the location; a x2 bet multiplier; a bonus cash prize or; a trigger of the Shootout Bonus described below. Besides, you may find a piece of the sword, and your key mission in the event is to find all the five sword fragments.
The Shootout Bonus starts if the item of your choice reveals a gold disk. You will then be taken to the second screen featuring a selection of fifteen gold disks. Every disk hides a mystery cash value according to the table shown to the right of the disks. The Global Adventure ends when you find all the sword fragments or get into traps twice.
Tomb Raider – Secret of the Sword is a feature-packed video slot that will come to the liking of the fans of the Tomb Raider franchise: a feature film starring Jolie, video games, comic books, etc. Flexible betting options with a one-cent minimum wager make the slot appealing to newcomers and low-rollers, whereas an amazing Global Adventure Bonus will become a desirable destination for whatever category of gamblers.
