If you follow us, you'll discover some of its special features, but not before remembering why Lara Croft became a myth and a pop icon.

A Plunge into a Returning Past

For those born in the 1980s, Lara Croft represented a teenage myth that they still can't shake. With her «polygonal adventures» for PC and PlayStation, video games' most famous archaeologist and adventurer amazed all teenagers of that era with titles such as: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: The Nightmare Stone and Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword. And that was only the beginning, because the success Lara Croft enjoyed allowed her to make her way into the movies and, more importantly, into a renowned and popular online casino like PASINO.ch, with Lara Croft Temples and Tombs.

Why Is Lara Croft so Popular?

Why does Lara Croft appeal so much that she becomes the star of a slot? Because she is the archetype of the free woman, confident in her own means and abilities, always ready to travel around the world to discover herself and the most beautiful treasures, heedless of the dangers and traps that lie in her path. With so much desire to get to know the reality around her, she is eager to embark on a journey that makes her grow from chapter to chapter. Since 1996, when she first landed in the video game universe with Tomb Raider, Lara Croft has come a long way!

Lara Croft Temples and Tombs: Basics

After this brief introduction, it's time to talk about one of our flagship slots that we host here at PASINO.ch: Lara Croft Temples and Tombs. Made by Microgaming and released by Games Global in 2019, it is visually based on the Tomb Raider Survivor video game trilogy. This slot consists of a five-reel, three-line layout; here, there are no fixed paylines, meaning that equal symbols must be on adjacent reels to each other, starting with the first one on the left, in order to obtain a prize. With a minimum stake of CHF 0.20 and a maximum of CHF 50, Lara Croft Temples and Tombs boasts an RTP of 96.05% and 243 potential winning combinations.

Spectacular Graphics with a Jackpot

Lara Croft Temples and Tombs features spectacular graphics that closely resemble those of the masterpiece titles from the Tomb Raider saga. What's more, the symbols that appear on the reels, e.g. the water bottle, the medical kit and the rope with grappling hook, are based on the objects that Lara Croft regularly uses in video games to recover energy. In addition there are the Ancient Egypt symbols, with the scarab wild playing a key role, being the symbol that can activate the scarab jackpot. There are three total jackpots and they grow according to the bet level. They are: Minor, Major and Large, with the latter providing a higher prize of up to 5'000 times the stake.

Some Special Features

This adventurous video game-themed slot also appeals because it comes with some special features. For instance, the scarab wild symbol substitutes for any icon on the reels and can help you get interesting wins. In addition, remember that after each winning combination the symbols disappear and new ones fall from above (rooling reels feature), like a sort of complimentary respin, where you don't risk anything, but, on the contrary, you can have the chance to aspire for interesting prizes. Finally, after the first win the next winning spin entitles you to a x2 multiplier, which will become an x3 on the second win and an x5 on the third win in the same round.

Free Spins

Of course you can't miss the free spins, which appear on reels one, two and three upon the presence of the Lara Croft book symbol, which activates the free spins round. Should this happen, know that you have eigth 8 free spins at your disposal, which can also be reactivated during the same free spins round. The scarab wild symbols also contribute to their activation! A nice convenience that suits every player, from the novice to the experienced.
