Lara Croft Temples and Tombs

Few characters from video games ever make a successful debut in movies. It’s certainly not for a lack of trying! But for whatever reason, it almost never works out. But there is one notable exception to this rule, and that’s Lara Croft! She’s conquered video games, she’s tamed the movie industry, and now, she’s ready for her latest adventure. A slot made by Microgaming!

Lara Croft Temples and Tombs is played on a 5×3 board with 243 ways to win. It comes with several special features. First and foremost, it has Rolling Reels active, alongside a multiplier trail that increases consecutive prize wins. There’s a free spins round that further enhances the multiplier trail. And finally, there’s a chance at winning the fixed jackpots!

The game might be one of the better looking things this developer put forward recently. It feels very smooth to play; not to mention all the little details put in the background. In fact, the background image will change slightly during free spins! Loose rocks will get replaced by gold, and the cold blue gets replaced by a warm, fiery orange colour.

You play this release on a 5-reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. Players must collect three or more identical icons in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. Thanks to the Ways to Win system, there’s no need to worry about following individual paylines. This makes it a lot easier to score wins!

Setting your total bet can be done in two ways. The first is to just click the plus and minus buttons until you find the wager that suits you best. The other option is to just click the bet directly, which opens a menu. Here, you can pick from a set of pre-selected values already. Either way, you can only bet between $0.20 and $20 on each spin.

Lara Croft Temples and Tombs has high volatility and an RTP of 96.05%, which is slightly above the current industry average. The top prize you can win is worth 5,000x your total stake, which you gain from winning the fixed jackpot.

We really like how the symbol designs look. There are no shortcuts being taken here! Each icon is completely unique. They depict Lara in various stages of kick-assery, the guardians of the temple she’s breaking in, and her numerous supplies. A brown journal is Scatter, while a golden scarab coin is Wild.

On each spin, Wilds are collected and put into the pot of coins.This gives you a chance at triggering the jackpot special feature. Once activated, it will award one of three fixed jackpots: the minor (15x), major (100x) or grand (5,000x).

After each win, winning symbols disappear from the reels to make way for new icons. Using Rolling Reels, you can earn multiple consecutive wins. The slot encourages you to do so, too, with the help of the multiplier trail! Each consecutive win increases it higher, which allows for greater prizes. During free spins, the multipliers awarded are dramatically increased.

Three Scatters in any position will earn you 8 free spins. And yes, the extra turns can be retriggered!
