Casino Site With Tomb Raider

Lara Croft is a universally-recognized, bonafide legend of a video game character. You could mention her name to someone who'd never played a video game in their life, and they would likely be able to tell you that she's the star of 'Tomb Raider.' She's always represented by cosplayers at Comic-con festivals, and she's been played in movies by both Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander. In short, she's a pretty big deal, and she has been ever since the first-ever 'Tomb Raider' game was released all the way back in 1996. Such is the value of the franchise that they still make new 'Tomb Raider' games to this day.

Where there's familiarity and brand recognition, there's an opportunity to make money, and Triple Edge Studios haven't passed on that opportunity. While this casino game doesn't explicitly reference 'Tomb Raider,' it would appear that they did have permission to use both the name and the likeness of Lara Croft. Whether that was a licensing issue or a stylistic choice is unknown, but as everybody knows who Lara is anyway, it scarcely matters.

This May 2019 release has managed to pack 243 different ways to win into its 5x3 layout, which is achieved by tossing the rule book out of the window. Unlike conventional UK casino games, where you can only win by lining symbols up in straight lines, in Tomb Raider, you're fine just to have them on neighbouring reels. You'll earn more if they line up nicely, but it's nice to get a little something just for coming close! The setting for this casino game is a broken-open tomb (would you have expected anything else?), with the reels set into a glowing chamber which Lara has presumably knocked down a wall to gain access to. The blue hue of the area around the reels suggests that she's carrying out her tomb raiding under cover of darkness.

You’ll see plenty of the same sights on the reels as those that you’d seen in the ten-plus video games which star Lara. The low values are her standard kit; a water bottle for hydration, a torch to see with, a grappling hook for climbing, and a backpack to carry them all in. Two middling symbols represented by figures from Egyptian mythology are next, and then we have four different Lara symbols, each of which captures her in a different pose.

The symbol of the ankh - a familiar sight in UK casino games which dabble with Egyptian themes - serves as this game’s wild. It can substitute for any of the other base game symbols to help make winning lines, but won’t replace Lara’s diary, which is the bonus symbol.

Tomb Raider Bonus Round

When developers use video games and video game characters as their source and inspiration for a casino game, it’s usually good advice to make sure you have plenty of bonus features to offer. The sort of player who’ll be attracted by the theme will be expecting them! Tomb Raider doesn’t disappoint in this respect; there are three of them to play for.

Collapsing Wins is the first feature of this casino game which we’d class as a bonus, and it’s one we’re seeing more and more in recent years. When you find a winning combination in this game, the symbols which make that combination will disappear after you’ve collected your winnings. Replacement symbols will then land on the reels from above, and the reels will be checked again to see if any further wins have been created. If so, you’ll be awarded the value of those wins - plus a sequentially increasing multiplier. String together five wins on the bounce with collapsing wins, and the last one will be worth 5x* what it would be in standard play.

Keep your eye on the wild symbols in this game too - on occasion, you'll notice that they have a coin printed on them. Each time coin-laden wildlands, the coins go into a pot, which is positioned above the reels. If you fill the pot up, you'll trigger the Jackpot Prize Game, within which you’re looking to secure yourself a nice, big multiplier. The very largest of them is a whacking great 5000x* your stake, but all of them are fairly good.

To round things off, there’s also a Free Spins feature. Three of the bonus symbols anywhere in view on the same spin will trigger it, and award you eight free spins. You can re-trigger this round the same way you triggered it in the first place. There are no extra frills to this free spins feature, which would feel a little flat if it didn’t combine so well with collapsing wins. Get on a roll with free spins and collapsing wins, and it might feel like forever since you last had to pay to get a fresh set of symbols!

The Lara Croft license has been well used by Triple Edge Studios in this casino game. It looks great, the collapsing symbols feature can mean you could trigger a landslide of wins on any spin, and the jackpot prize game is a highly rewarding one, too. We 'e sure Lara herself would approve!

Tomb Raider Developer

When you take into account the fact that Triple Edge Studios are still so new, it’s amazing they’ve come up with something as polished as Tomb Raider. At the time of writing, they’ve only published five UK casino games in total, but what a five they are. Bookie of Odds Slot Game is one of those five, as is Ancient Fortunes: Zeus Online Slot; both of which have proven to be winners with our Kong Casino members!

The potential of Triple Edge Studios is obvious for anyone to see, and globally-huge gaming company Microgaming appears to have spotted it before anyone else did. They've signed Triple Edge to a deal, by which all UK casino games created by Triple Edge are brought to market by Microgaming, and have the Microgaming label stamped on them. This is beneficial to Triple Edge because it means they have a market reach they wouldn't necessarily be able to obtain otherwise. It's also pretty good for Microgaming because it means they've got a very talented company working for them almost like an in-house design team.
