About the game

Tomb Raider is one of the longest-running branded slots in online casino history. Microgaming launched it in 2004, updated it in 2008 to the version most operators carry today, and it has remained in Ontario lobbies more or less continuously since. The branding is the original Eidos / Square Enix Tomb Raider IP, with classic-era Lara Croft art rather than the modern reboot version.

The base game is a conventional 15-line video slot — Lara, weapons, idols, jungle backgrounds. Three or more idol scatters trigger the Tomb Bonus, a pick-em mini-game where players select from twelve idols to reveal coin prizes. The bonus ends when an unlucky idol (a "shadow") is picked. Three or more Tomb Raider scatters separately trigger 10 free spins with a 3× multiplier on all wins. The 96.55% RTP is solid for a 2008-vintage slot and makes Tomb Raider a reasonable choice in modern lobbies despite its age.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTP of Tomb Raider?
96.55% — solid for a 2008-vintage slot and slightly above the modern Ontario industry average. Some operators may host lower-RTP variants; check the in-game info screen.
Is the license still active?
The Tomb Raider IP is currently held by Embracer Group / Crystal Dynamics. Microgaming's license was originally with Eidos (pre-Square Enix acquisition). The slot remains in Ontario operator catalogs as of 2026 and has been continuously available — the license appears active.
How does it differ from Tomb Raider II: Secret of the Sword?
Tomb Raider II is the 2008 sequel — 30 paylines, more bonus rounds, different math. The original Tomb Raider reviewed here is the simpler, longer-running version. Both are in many operator catalogs.
Is this slot legal to play in Ontario?
Yes — provided you play at an iGaming Ontario / AGCO-licensed operator. The casinos listed above are Ontario-licensed. Playing on unregulated international sites from within Ontario is not legal and offers no consumer protections.
