Lara Unleashed In Tomb Raider Sequel Video Slot
Lara Croft Tomb Raider : Secret Of The Sword. Holy hot-pants! She’s back! She of pneumatic lady-lumps fame, purveyor of many an adolescent digital fantasy, returns in this cutting-edge video slot sequel from top online casino software provider, Microgaming.
The Chipster foresees feverish right hand action of a slightly different nature as you click your way through the huge array of online slots bonus features that this frontline video slot has to offer!
Following on from the huge success of Lara Croft Tomb Raider slots, the first licensed video slots from Microgaming, Secret Of The Sword takes a huge leap forward in terms of slots bonus features, animations, soundtrack (truly cinematic!) and playability.
Like its Tomb Raider predecessor, Secret Of The Sword is a 5-reel video slot machine but the winlines have been ramped up from 15 in the original to 30, giving you many more opportunities to win.
With a max bet of 10 coins and max coin value of £0.20 (£2.00 max bet per winline), you can bet up to £60.00 per spin or as little as £0.01 per spin (1 winline) - a wagering structure that should appeal to most of you.
Never before have you been faced with such a haul of beautiful bonus bounty games, all imaginatively crafted and uniquely animated. First up is a quick look at the free spins bonus, common to many online slots but in the case of Tomb Raider Secret Of The Sword, with a very tasty and lucrative twist.
You need 3, 4 or 5 of these ancient artefact symbols to trigger the Free Spins bonus feature and they don’t need to be on a winline. The twist with Tomb Raider Secret Of The Sword is the spanking new Rolling Reels feature.
Any Bejeweled players amongst you will be familiar with the premise of this feature. When you spin a winning combination during your 10 free spins, the symbols involved in the win explode and disappear causing affected reels to roll down and fill the gaps, potentially awarding further wins from the same video slots bonus feature!
What’s more, each time an explosion results in another win, the multiplier is increased up to a maximum x5. Needless to say, rewards can be huge here! My feeling is that at max bet, free spins tend to return about 6,000 coins as an average but I have won as much as 22,250 coins and as little as 3,200 coins.
Of course, these wins are unique to me and your experiences could be wildly different.
If you haven’t understood my explanation of this unique video slots bonus, why not download one of our Microgaming partner casinos (see list at the bottom of this review) and play for free so that you can experience it first hand for no risk?
The second online slots bonus feature to show you is Super Mode. This is awarded randomly at any time during your playing of Secret Of The Sword. 5 free spins is your prize but with yet another added twist!
During the free spins, a stunning Lara Croft animation appears on top of the reels and shoots one or two symbols at a time to turn them Wild.
She sometimes climbs up from the bottom and somersaults onto the screen with all guns blazing and sometimes swings in from the left on a rope to shoot the symbol of her choice. Brilliantly done!
Whatever she turns Wild stays Wild for the remaining spins, thereby increasing your chances of landing winning combinations. Imagine how big the wins get if you have 3 or more positions on the reels permanently Wild with the possibility of spinning in further Wild symbols, too! Pretty sexy!
Thirdly, the daddy of all bonuses, the main bonus feature of Secret Of The Sword video slots, the Global Adventure bonus, much more like a video game than anything before seen in the world of online slots!
Passport symbols are quite literally your passport to potential mega-riches! When one lands on the centre winline of a reel, that reel gets activated and remains so until all 5 reels have been activated. You will then be taken on the Tomb Raider Global Adventure of a lifetime!
It can take a long time for all 5 reels to be activated so I recommend you kind of forget about this bonus (there is so much else going on anyway) as you play and then marvel at its complexity, beauty and innovation when it finally lands.
Pick from one of five destinations to get your cash journey started…
Each destination contains 6 identical containers and you have to find the container with the sword fragment in. Finding the sword fragment lets you choose another country and you move on. 3 of them hold random cash rewards and 2 of the 6 are Traps so choose carefully!
A Hidden Treasure Bonus is randomly awarded (infrequently though) where 3 spinning question marks jump out of one of the containers. Each one hides cash awards or multipliers and also yet another bonus, the Shootout Bonus, where you shoot one of 15 shields and uncover a mystery cash prize. Phew! Is Secret Of The Sword the first online slots game where you could get fed up with winning bonuses??
Uncover 2 booby traps (they would be wouldn’t they?!) in the same country and your adventure is over! Or is it…..? Occasionally (seems to happen more if you find 2 traps very early on in your quest), a Fight Bonus is triggered and you get to shoot the crap out of another pneumatic stunner - winning allows you to continue on your global adventure.
The Chipster has yet to complete all countries but came damn close on a couple of occasions! My best result is here…
Tantalisingly close but no cigar - apart from the 24,000 consolation panatellas! Pretty sweet result!
Lara Croft Tomb Raider Secret Of The Sword, to give it its full name, blows away all online slots that precede it. It’s almost into video game territory with the depth of bonus features available and cinematic soundtrack.
This Tomb Raider video slots sequel caters for all, from huge to tiny bankrolls, bonus-hunting junkies and even for Lara Croft digi-perv followers! So, whether you’re turned on by digi-lumps or potentially huge cash wins (or both!), Secret Of The Sword delivers.
By playing Tomb Raider video slots at one of our trusted online casinos, you can rest easy that your online slots delivery will be made safely and securely. Our unique player guarantee backs this up.
