Overview of Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs

Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs by Microgaming is a 5 reel, 243 ways to win online slot that takes you to a fortune-hunting adventure with a popular Egyptian theme. Coming third in a series of Microgaming’s tomb raider slots, we expect that Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs comes with the goodies we did not enjoy in its predecessor slots.

This is indeed, since there is a really updated galore of features and vastly improved graphics. Included in this latest adventure with Lara are the rolling reels feature and a massive bag of multipliers. There is up to 7,343 times your stake to take home on a single spin with a non-progressive jackpot that peaks at 5000x your stake. Multiplier values swell from a maximum of 5x in the base game to a maximum of 15x when you trigger the free spins bonus round. Free games are another appeal if you agree to come with Lara Croft to this trip into the temple.

Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs is playable across all compatible devices from as little as 0.20 to 20 coins per spin maximum for brave punters.

Game Symbols

Symbols on the reels consist of some of Lara’s personal items such as a medical bag for the bumps and bruises she sustains during the temple adventure, a flaming torch, a canteen, a grappling hook, a rope, and a water bottle. These are low paying symbols and will frequently appear on the reels hoping to please you with a series of small payouts.

High paying category features statues of Egyptian gods and four images of Lara under different circumstances. We find her swinging through the air, diving for cover with a gun, on a motorcycle and just her tough face.

Look out for the image of Lara with a gun and that with her face, which are the top value icons. Get 5 of a kind anywhere on the reels at a maximum bet and scoop a whopping 50 times your stake.

The book of secrets (journal) serves as the scatter tasked with unlocking the free spins round while the scarab beetle gold coin is the game’s wild assigned the regular substitution role.

Temple Adventure Begins

The reels introduce us to a Mayan Temple where the action takes place. Payouts in the 243 ways to win system are landed when you get at least 3 matching symbols starting with the leftmost reel to the right. Line bet varies from 0.01 to 1.00, which places your bet range at 0.20 and 20.00

The amount you make on each win will be jointly determined by the size of your stake and the paytable values of symbols that make up your winning combination.

Lara Croft: Temple and Tombs is a high volatility slot. Winning combinations, though making infrequent appearances, tend to give high payouts. The slot’s RTP stands at 96.05%.

The Cascading Reels Feature

Rolling reels is just the thing to go for in this latest release. After every winning combination, payouts are allocated and winning symbols disappear off the reels. New symbols will come in to take their place and give you yet another chance to complete a winning combination. This happens again and again until no more winning combos appear on the reels, then you can take another spin. This is the one feature you can count on playing Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs.

And it’s not only about winnings cascading into each other. You also benefit from a multiplier trail. Multiplier values advance with each consecutive win from 1x to, 2x to, 3x, and 5x. Lara Croft: Temples and Tombs is fully optimized for mobile casino play, as well.

Up to 80 Free Games

The free spins round is activated when you land at least 3 books of secret scatters on the reels. Free games range from 8 to 32, depending on the number of scatters you get. There is also a multiplier trail which begins at 3x to 6x, 9x and 15x for each consecutive win. To trigger the feature, you need 3 or more scatters again. The possible additional free spins amount to 48, which brings you to a grand total of 80 free games.

3 Non-progressive Jackpots

The jackpot feature will be activated at random at the end of any spin. Find the Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots above the reels which pay 15, 100, and 5000 times your stake respectively. Each wild you get is added to the golden pot. More wilds collected give you a chance with the Grand jackpot.

Conclusion

If Lara Croft: Temple and Tombs is out to give us what we missed in the last incarnation of the tomb adventure, then we think it has achieved it. Excellent visuals, loads of action, and greatly multiplied payouts in this slot pick up from the very point its predecessors left to give dedicated players renewed enthusiasm. The cascading reels feature is a generous addition as well as those multipliers both in the base game and the free spins round.
