Overview: a licensed sequel from the Microgaming vault
Microgaming built two Tomb Raider slots. The first came out in 2004; this sequel followed a few years later. Exact release date: check in game info.
Today the Microgaming catalogue is distributed by Games Global (since 2022). Licensed titles depend on the brand owner too, and that is the problem: Tomb Raider slots have been dropped from many lobbies. Our research notes on Zodiac Casino mention Lara Croft titles in its lobby, but no studio is named there, so we cannot tell you which version.
Five reels. Paylines, RTP, volatility, max win: check in game info. The 2023 page listed 30 lines, and we could not confirm that figure for the version casinos serve today.
Wilds, Lara scatters, free spins and the pick bonus
The feature set, as the game's help describes it and as our old page summarized it:
- The Tomb Raider logo is the wild and substitutes for regular symbols.
- Lara is the scatter. She pays anywhere and, landing three or more, starts free spins with multiplied wins.
- A separate pick-style bonus round lets you choose objects for cash prizes.
- The card ranks fill the low end, as always.
Multipliers and the number of free spins differ between the 2004 original and the sequel, and our old page mixed them up a little. Trust the help screen.
The art? Fine for its era. Lara looks like a 2008 cutscene, which, for some of us, is exactly the point.
How a session works
Choose a coin size, set the lines if the version allows it, spin.
That is it. The skill element is zero, which is true of every slot and still surprises people. Where you do have control is the stake and the stop point. Decide both before you start, not during the third bonus round when you feel invincible.
A small digression. The loonie has been gone from slot machines for years now, everything is tickets and screens, and somehow that makes it easier to lose track. Set a limit in the casino account. Then actually stick to it.
Free play: casino lobbies only
We used to host a demo here. That embed stopped working long ago and will not come back.
If a casino still carries the game, its lobby usually offers a demo or "play for fun" mode, sometimes only after you sign in. If the title does not appear in the search, the casino no longer has it.
Two things the demo is good for here. Seeing how often Lara's scatters actually land, and finding out whether the old-school pace annoys you before any money is involved. Two things it is useless for: predicting a real session, and "warming up" the machine. Slots have no memory. A demo streak means nothing for the next paid spin.
Real-money options for Canadian players
The honest answer is shorter than usual: we cannot confirm a casino in our list that still carries this exact title. These Québec-accessible casinos list Games Global as a studio, so they are the first places to search:
- Ruby Fortune review (visit)
- Jackpot City review (visit)
- Royal Vegas review (visit)
- Zodiac Casino review: no studio named on site, Lara Croft titles reported in the lobby (visit)
Lobby availability: check on site. Operators may also run lower RTP versions of older games; the info screen tells you which one you have.
Not in Québec? Ontario players (19+) need an iGaming Ontario site; Alberta (18+) has a regulated market since 13 Jul 2026. Help line in Québec: 514 527-0140.
Frequently asked questions
Is Tomb Raider 2 the same as Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword?
Yes. Secret of the Sword is the sequel to Microgaming's 2004 Tomb Raider slot, and many lobbies list it as Tomb Raider 2.
Can I play Tomb Raider 2 free without signing up?
Some casino lobbies show the demo to anyone, others only after login. If the game is not in the lobby at all, no demo is available there.
Why can't I find Tomb Raider slots at my casino?
Licensed slots depend on the brand owner's deal with the studio. When a licence ends, the game is removed, sometimes from a whole network at once.
