Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword

Review

Introduced via a gripping introductory animation complete with a stunning soundtrack that any Hollywood Composer would be proud of, you really gain a sense of what's to come and Microgaming's new Tomb Raider slot doesn't disappoint. From the regular game the main icons to look for are the different variations of Lara on the reels with her portrait being the most rewarding icon (as well as being the wild icon too). Other than the passport and regular scatter symbol, the other icons are based on the high card suit values as seen in Tomb Raider's previous outing. Whether you are a prize-hunter, or a slots enthusiast who prefers the essential aspects of this genre of gaming, we are sure that a variety of people will find this game a perfect foil to enhance their gaming skills.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol is Lara's portrait. It can substitute for all other icons except the scatters of the passport and the special jewelled sword-part icon. Show 2, 3, 4 or 5 across an active payline to drop line multipliers of 5, 75, 750, or 7,500 times respectively.

Scatter Symbol

There are two main scatter icons available from your spins: The passport and the jewelled sword-part icon. The passport will take you to the main Global Adventure Bonus round. The green jewelled icon however can trigger you free spins as well as a prize. Show 2, 3, 4 or 5 across the reels in any positions to trigger a prize of your total staked bet multiplied by 2, 3, 20 or 100 times respectively!

Free Spins

There are two ways to gain free spins in this slot. Spin three or more of the scatter icon across the reels to win at least ten free-spins with the Rolling Reels feature. How the Rolling Reels feature works is that from a free spin, any symbols that contribute to a winning combination, dissolve away and allow the remaining symbols to replace fall down on their positions. Using this method, new symbols are brought onto the reels and your prizes are recalculated. Super Mode is randomly triggered after a spin where you can gain five free spins with an exclusive multiple-wild-position feature. During Super Mode, multiple symbols are held as wild icons for the duration of the feature.

Bonus Round

The main icon to trigger access to this round is the passport symbol. You have to spin the icon onto the CENTER of all five reels BUT it doesn't matter whether this is all in one spin, or over the course of several spins. Once all five passports have been shown you will gain access to the Global Adventure Bonus. From the map of the world you can choose a place to look for mystical artefacts (and in turn prizes). Once you've picked your location, you will be taken to the site where you will have a choice of six items to choose from and win prizes with.
