DOUGLAS, Isle of Man, March 11 /PRNewswire/ --     Launching today is one of the most ambitious video slots yet seen in
online gambling - TOMB RAIDER: SECRET OF THE SWORD. It's been almost three
and a half years since she made her debut on Microgaming powered casinos and
this new 5 reel 30 pay-line video slot sets new standards in every aspect of
gaming.

The sequel version of the Eidos-licensed top-seller Tomb
Raider, invites players to join the famous Lara Croft as she travels the
world and its perils in the search for a priceless relic.

Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming says, "From multi-million selling
console game, to movie sequels and an online gaming franchise, the Lara Croft
brand has proven to be a complete success story. Six months ago, we set our
designers a challenge - to take a modern day icon and probably the most
recognisable games character in the world and create a video slot that would
bring her to life in a way this industry has never seen. And they've
delivered beyond our expectations. Whether you are talking graphics, gameplay
or features - this slot delivers on every level and yet again Microgaming
sets new industry standards in games development."

Offering hours of interactive entertainment and the chance to
hit major rewards through a variety of free spins, bonuses, wild and scatter
awards and free games, this beautifully crafted game faithfully captures the
gripping excitement and suspense of the original movie and video series,
together with unique online gambling twists and turns that make for a fully
immersive experience.

With brilliant, almost photo-realistic graphics, stunning
sound effects and dynamic 3D action, the game takes players to mysterious
locations around the world, encountering both riches and dangerous traps in
truly dynamic Tomb Raider style.

Keep a watchful eye out for the randomly triggered Super Mode,
where 5 Free Spins are awarded and Lara acrobatically swings in 3D style to
turn a random position on screen to Wild, bringing with her the prospect of
significant wins.

But the adventure is only beginning...find 3, 4 or 5 scattered
Keys and 10 Free Spins are awarded, each containing the Rolling Reels(TM)
feature, where consecutive wins can award up to a maximum of a 5x multiplier.
This innovative feature is something special, and can lead to many more
winning chances.

The finale of this game culminates in the interactive Global
Adventure Bonus, where Lara's agility and treasure hunting expertise are put
to the test. Players assist the famous adventuress as she searches across the
planet to harvest reward opportunities. Hidden Treasures add to the
excitement, each offering its own surprises, and in the Shootout bonus
players can win more multipliers by selecting the right disc in a highly
interactive bonus game with a richly themed storyline that will keep players
on the edge of their seats.
