Lara’s close up symbol is the Wild and it substitutes for all symbols in the game except for the Scatter symbol and Bonus symbol. Wild symbols can also form winning combos on its own.
Green Fragment is the Scatter in the game and it can from scatter wins. If you land 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels, you will activate Free Spins feature with Rolling Reels. During this feature, all symbols forming a win will dissolve causing affected reels to roll down and potentially create new winnings. Each consecutive rolling reels win will increase the multiplier by one. A maximum multiplier that can be achieved is x5. If no consecutive win is achieved, the multiplier resets.

Tomb Raider II or Tomb Raider - Secret of the Sword (SOTS for short) is one of my all time favourites to use not just to win on but also to take many bonuses out of my balances. I can't believe this slot isn't as hot as Immortal Romance or Thunderstruck II. Is it because Tomb raider II lacks the way wins ability? Or do people think the Global Adventure bonus isn't worth fighting over? Whatever the reason I find Tomb Raider II to be super good despite it's limited paylines.
Out of the many times I played on this video slot I never leave my seat for hours trying to chase the glorious Global Adventure Bonus! It takes a long time to trigger so I have to find passport symbols landing in the middle of EACH reel to trigger that bonus. There will be a portent of a successful activation just by looking at the top reels holding blue lights or when a passport lands exactly in the centre of reel making a ping sound. The second I trigger the GA bonus I can choose a destination to find lost relics of the mysterious sword which appears to be the magical Excalibur. Each pick from a vase, statue, tomb or other can offer large credits which will depend on my triggering bet, a special option hiding in one pick for a bonus shootout bonus, win all (being the best) can occurs sometimes, 2x multiplier or simply bonus credits, and 2 trap symbols hiding among some of the other objects. I always put down $1.20 to make it rain cash. The unfortunate can happen sometimes when I choose the wrong picks, 2 traps can indeed end my feature...BUT...there is also a good chance to move forward if I find a showdown with Amanda. If she goes down then my second chance of continuing sees daylight, if not...well...you have an idea of what happens to every feature that doesn't go well. I walked away with a total of about $130 or more when I find all the sword fragments. In the end another big reward is collected as I see the complete form of Excalibur (usually in the $30 - $40 range)!
Another great thing to add under review is the free spins. These entertain me, helping me boost my winnings while I chase the GA bonus. Rolling Reels and multipliers can boost per consecutive win are what to expect inside. All it takes is 3 scattered relics to trigger them. Rolling Free spins containing multipliers, A not so great Super mode of 5 free spins triggered randomly, huge Global Adventure Bonus that pays hard should I find all fragments (requires lots of patience to get) and overall this slot deserves a 9.6 out of 10!
