Ten Year Anniversary for Tomb Raider Slot

In other news for Microgaming, the company is celebrating 10 years for the release of its classic video slot Lara Croft: Tomb Raider™. The release of the Tomb Raider slot back in 2004 was a landmark for online casino slots as a whole, as it was the first branded online slot introduced after Microgaming secured an exclusive deal with publisher Eidos Interactive.

In 2006, the slot was developed in J2ME for mobile use and it was followed by Web App, Android and HTML5 versions which made it popular with mobile players as well. The Tomb Raider slot was also configured to include tournament capabilities for operators in 2007. Many software developers have followed suit with branded slots since 2004, bringing to the online casino world a multitude of branded video slots which became classics by themselves.

Where to Play

The Lara Croft: Tomb Raider™ video slot and its 2008 sequel Lara Croft: Secret of the Sword™ can be played at top Microgaming online casinos like Platinum Play Casino, All Slots Casino and bet365 Casino.
