There is always something of a battle going on between online slot game designers<\/a>, for each designer is going to be very eager to put together a slot game that will appeal to players and get them playing those slots more than any other.<\/p>\n It can often take many months to design a slot game completely from scratch and get it to the point where it is ready to go live, and lots of unique aspects of each new slot game need to be fully tested to ensure that slot works, plays and pays exactly as it has been designed to do.<\/p>\n There are a number of things that are going to attract players to any new slot game that goes live, the theme of the slot is usually one aspect of the game that draws players in, however it can often cost a lot of money to theme a slot around a film, book, celebrity or sports team and as such you will not find lots of fully branded and licensed slot games being released during the course of a year!<\/p>\n The main draw and lure of a slot machine is often down to the Long Term Expected Payout Percentage<\/a> that the slot has been designed to return to players over the long term. The higher the RTP is the more times when playing it a player is going to win, and players do tend to remember winning sessions more than losing ones, so this is one aspect of designing any slot game that needs to be carefully considered.<\/p>\n This does therefore lead slot players to ask the question are new slot games configured to payout more than older, more established slot games. In this slot playing guide we shall try and answer this question as best we can and will give you a few examples of recently launched slot games and compare them to their older more established sister games or slots that make up the same slot game series.<\/p>\n The very first slot game designed in the Tomb Raider series was the Mark I version of the slot, this game has actually become one of the most played slots found in the gaming suite of Microgaming Software Powered Casinos<\/a>, and is also one of their most popular slot tournament games.<\/p>\n The original slot was designed to return to players over the long term a payout percentage of 95.22% which is a fairly high paying slot game that will appeal to many players. However, when Microgaming launched the second slot in this series that being the Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword slot game they chose to give that game a long term payout percentage of a slightly increased 95.23%.<\/p>\n So in regards to the Tomb Raider slot series it is true to say that the newer slot does come with a higher RTP although of only a fraction of one percent!<\/p>\n Microgaming have another set of slot games which both share the same type of theme and these are their range of two Thunderstruck slot games, both of which get a huge amount of action at all casinos powered by this very well known software and casino game designer.<\/p>\n Once again there are some noticeable differences in regarding the way these two slot games have been designed, more so the long term expected payout percentages attached to each game.<\/p>\nComparing the New and Original Tomb Raider Slot Games RTP\u2019s<\/h2>\n
