Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword is Microgaming’s 2008 sequel to the original Tomb Raider slot, built on the official Lara Croft licence and expanded with a multi-stage global adventure bonus that set it apart from most of its contemporaries at release. It is a product of its time, but the bonus structure remains more interesting than many later licensed slots.

The game plays on 25 paylines with bets from $0.15 to $150 — the lower minimum makes it accessible even for careful bankroll management. The Tomb Raider theme is expressed through the classic early-era Lara Croft visual style, with globe-trotting iconography, relic symbols, and location photography that builds the adventure narrative through the reel design.

The defining feature is the Global Adventure bonus, which triggers and sends players to one of three distinct stages: Aztec, Egyptian, or Japanese. Each stage presents a different bonus game with its own structure and prize potential. The variety across the three locations gives the bonus round real replayability — landing it multiple times does not guarantee the same experience. Standard Free Spins are also available via the scatter.

Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword carries a 96.56% RTP — one of the higher figures in this batch — with medium volatility. The maximum win is 500x your stake. The combination of above-average RTP and medium volatility makes this one of the more player-friendly titles in this collection from a pure return perspective.

Secret of the Sword is the right choice for players who want a classic branded slot with a genuine multi-stage bonus and a solid return profile. It is not a modern high-volatility game, but it delivers consistent entertainment with a well-constructed bonus feature.
