Microgaming has been known since its launch for its high quality online gambling games. Whatever they may be: slots, table games, poker, or any other game, Microgaming games have always been a benchmark for the high standards they set in quality, both in functionality as well as interface. This year saw one such high-voltage action game successfully complete 10 years and step into the 11th. The game in question is Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
Microgaming launched this iconic game back in 2004, thanks to a partnership that has become, like all things Microgaming, a benchmark in longevity in the online gambling industry. That year, it got into an agreement with Eidos of the Tomb Raider brand to promote the game as an online video slot. The partnership was vital, because it resulted in this legendary online gambling software development company releasing the first branded online slot in the world.
What makes this partnership so successful is the fact that the game not only became a hit immediately on launch, but continued to be extremely popular among online casino and Microgaming fans through all these years of its existence. Contributing to this fact are many factors, including high quality graphics, excellent animations and sound effects, a great interface, and some superb features.
The success of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider resulted in the release of a mobile version in J2ME for mobile applications. Later, other versions that were compatible with Android and HTML5 were also released. The continued success story also saw the release of a sequel to the original game: Lara Croft: Secret of the Sword in 2008.
