DOUGLAS, Isle of Man -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Launching today is one
of the most ambitious video slots yet seen in online gambling - TOMB
RAIDER: SECRET OF THE SWORD. It's been almost three and a half years since
she made her debut on Microgaming powered casinos and this new 5 reel 30
pay-line video slot sets new standards in every aspect of gaming.
The sequel version of the Eidos-licensed top-seller Tomb Raider,
invites players to join the famous Lara Croft as she travels the world and
its perils in the search for a priceless relic.
Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming says, "From multi-million selling
console game, to movie sequels and an online gaming franchise, the Lara
Croft brand has proven to be a complete success story. Six months ago, we
set our designers a challenge - to take a modern day icon and probably the
most recognisable games character in the world and create a video slot that
would bring her to life in a way this industry has never seen. And they've
delivered beyond our expectations. Whether you are talking graphics,
gameplay or features - this slot delivers on every level and yet again
Microgaming sets new industry standards in games development."
Offering hours of interactive entertainment and the chance to hit major
rewards through a variety of free spins, bonuses, wild and scatter awards
and free games, this beautifully crafted game faithfully captures the
gripping excitement and suspense of the original movie and video series,
together with unique online gambling twists and turns that make for a fully
immersive experience.
With brilliant, almost photo-realistic graphics, stunning sound effects
and dynamic 3D action, the game takes players to mysterious locations
around the world, encountering both riches and dangerous traps in truly
dynamic Tomb Raider style.
Keep a watchful eye out for the randomly triggered Super Mode, where 5
Free Spins are awarded and Lara acrobatically swings in 3D style to turn a
random position on screen to Wild, bringing with her the prospect of
significant wins.
But the adventure is only beginning...find 3, 4 or 5 scattered Keys and
10 Free Spins are awarded, each containing the Rolling Reels(TM) feature,
where consecutive wins can award up to a maximum of a 5x multiplier. This
innovative feature is something special, and can lead to many more winning
chances.
The finale of this game culminates in the interactive Global Adventure
Bonus, where Lara's agility and treasure hunting expertise are put to the
test. Players assist the famous adventuress as she searches across the
planet to harvest reward opportunities. Hidden Treasures add to the
excitement, each offering its own surprises, and in the Shootout bonus
players can win more multipliers by selecting the right disc in a highly
interactive bonus game with a richly themed storyline that will keep
players on the edge of their seats.
