Tomb Shadow - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Clearly inspired by Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, this innovative game from Dreamtech slots is packed with amazing content.

Using Dreamtech’s reelspins mechanic this slot delivers plentiful free spins and a fantastic tomb raider bonus that makes this game highly playable.

The tomb robber starts her journey at the top left of the reels and eventually exits bottom right to the pick me bonus feature. This is one feature you’ll want to test out using demo mode spins.

There’s a beautiful synergy between theme, bonuses and symbols with 13 making up the paytable including the prize paying scatter.

Watch out for the wild that replaces all symbols except the scatter.

There are a couple of other symbols to keep an eye on, the X2 and the compass. These interact with the tomb robber to double up wins and advance her progress to the exit.

This browser based slot also plays superbly on mobile and tablet devices.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Influenced by Tomb Raider, Tomb Shadow creates a world that’s all its own with a rich cast of characters intent on unlocking the secrets of the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, deep in the Changbai Mountain.

So we have our fearless tomb raider and her male support team who are on standby to help out if she hits an unknown trap in her pursuit of countless treasure. The reels represent a series of rooms ripe for exploration, deep in the mountain.

Other symbols include the compass she uses to navigate to the exit, candles, a spade and rocks with unknown runes. The scatter is the Queen Mother of the West herself and everything is superbly drawn in an anime style.

The tinkling soundtrack nicely captures the sense of mystery and unease as we penetrate further into the mountains and the animation of the tomb raider herself is brilliantly done as she runs, rolls and climbs across the reels.

RTP & Volatility

This medium volatility slot has an above average theoretical RTP of 97.28%. That makes this a highly promising game designed to appeal to a wide range of players.

Bonus Features

Tomb Shadow is a feature rich slot with plenty of special symbols to look out for. The two main features create masses of potential with generous free spins and an innovative pick me bonus.

Free Games Feature

The free spins round is triggered by any scatter win. Scatters pay 30x, 60x, or 120x for 3, 4 or 5 anywhere on the reels.

A number of free games are awarded:

- Multiply number of scatters and wilds by columns
- Multiply by 8

Free games can be retriggered.

Tomb Escape

There are 15 positions from top left to bottom right. The tomb raider starts in position 1 - if she occupies the same space as a compass she moves forward 1, 2 or 3 positions. If the woman and the 2X symbol occupy the same position all wins are doubled. When she reaches the bottom right corner, the pick me bonus is triggered.

Pick Me Bonus

There are 10 hidden objects awarding low, medium or high prizes plus 3 hidden keys that award an extra bonus. Players have 5 picks to win prizes.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

Dreamtech have done a superb job in this slot where the audiovisuals and bonus gameplay combine to create a thoroughly immersive slot.

The Tomb Escape bonus is inspired, virtually guaranteeing players a crack at the pick me bonus. And watching the tomb raider navigate across the reels is a real thrill, delivering massive replayability.

Lara Croft Temples and Tombs is a similarly compelling slot with rolling reels, increasing multipliers and a superbly realised theme.
