Immortal Romance by Microgaming will make most players’ list of the Top 5 best-known slots since slots went online. Maybe it’s the intriguing love ‘square’ between the four central characters or maybe it’s the fact that the game was first launched at the height of the world’s obsession with ‘Twilight’ and anything involving vampires was bound to instantly become popular. Or maybe it’s just that this is a truly stunning game that ticks every box, none more so than that you can choose which one of four different free spins rounds you fancy going for.
Before you start unfolding this tragic romance tale in our online casino, you’ll need to choose a ‘stake’. No apologies for the vampire reference, there.
That’s determined by how many coins you want to be playing on each spin- between 1 and 10 with a coin value of 0.60 CAD. This means that the bets range from a minimum of 60 cents to a maximum of 6 CAD per spin.
The plot’s central characters- Amber, Troy, Michael and Sarah – are at the heart of the action on the reels with the other symbols being the regular playing cards one sees on most slots. Special symbols? We’ll come to those right now.
The game pays from left to right, but wins don’t necessarily have to be in a straight line. So, you could have a symbol on the far left at the bottom joining up with one on the second-from-left that’s in the middle with one from the middle reel at the top. It’s this flexibility in terms of combinations that means there are 243 different ways to win.
As ever, there’s a hierarchy when it comes to pay-outs. The biggest win of all in the base game is secured by getting five Scatter symbols. Then it’s five Immortal Romance symbols, followed by getting five Sarah symbols, then 5 Michaels, 5 Troys and lastly five Ambers. Next up is the five of the Haunted Mansions, five of the book and candle and then five of each of the playing card symbols.
The Scatter is represented by a big golden lion and the clue to it being the Scatter is that… it says Scatter. You’ll see in a second what getting three or more of those does but even just getting two of them will see you recover the value of your bet.
The Immortal Romance Wild Symbol is… the Immortal Romance symbol. The game’s logo is the ‘Joker’ here, substituting for any other symbol to help you form winning combinations.
It can appear anywhere on the reels and you can of course have several of them in play at any time. Remembering that the combinations can be in a zig-zag direction rather than just in a straight line and getting one Wild on the reels normally guarantees you a win. Two or more and you really should be in clover.
We mentioned what happens when you get two Scatter symbols so it’s time to mention what happens when you get three (or more).
It means that free spins are coming your way. Or rather, given this slot likes to put its own twist on things, the ‘Chamber of Spins’ round is coming your way. And following on from the theme that Microgaming seem to like marching to the beat of their own drum with this slot, one doesn’t know how many free spins we’re about to get.
That’s because you can choose. Each of the characters has their own free spins round and it’s up to you to decide which one will give you the best pay-out. Here are your options:
Amber Free Spins Feature – The least amount of free spins with ‘just’ 10 but every win has a 5x multiplier attached to it, meaning any win you get will be due a big upgrade.
Troy Free Spins – Choose Troy and you get 15 free spins. There’s no Multiplier set in stone but there is a Multiplier after every win, that is revealed when some bats show up on the reels, flip one of the symbols over and reveal a Multiplier.
Michael Free Spins – Michael brings you 20 free spins. And after every win, you can look forward to cascading reels, sometimes known as rolling reels. What happens here is that the symbols that made up the win disappear to be replaced by others. If those form a second winning combination, then that’s another win for you. And you can keep on going while there are more wins.
Sarah Free Spins – Sarah gives you the freest spins of all at 25. Her free spins come accompanied by the Wild Vines that appear across the reels, aiding you towards more wins.
There’s an additional bonus round to look forward to.
Wild Desire– In a game where lust plays such an active role, it’s no surprise there’s a bonus round by this name.
It’s randomly triggered and when it is, you’ll get a re-spin. But not before you’re awarded at least one random wild reel. Sometimes it’s two wild reels and once in a blue moon, it’s five, though that’s extremely rare. In fact, this feature itself is pretty rare. But it’s extremely welcome when it does pop up.
If you like the Immortal Romance slot game, check out the following slots :
Despite being around for a while, it was only in January 2017 that this slot was made available on all mobile devices. Prior to that, it was just on Casinos that allowed for play on Android and even then, the game needed to be downloaded. Now you can play on the device of your choice and there’s no downloading needed.
This is a slot of medium volatility meaning that wins are fairly frequently but that activating the ‘Chamber of Spins ‘Round will still make a big difference to your bankroll.
The Free Play option means you can start the romance without getting your wallet out. It’s nice to know it’s there but let’s face it: it’s not quite the same as doing it for real.
Microgaming can’t have known that when they named this slot Immortal Romance, it was going to be an immortal slot. And by that, we mean that other slots come and go but this one has secured its place in the hearts of thousands of slots lovers till the end of time.
There’s always something a little bit special about a slot that has a cool storyline but mostly it’s just a really entertaining slot. May its romance with the Mr Green Casino continue in this life… and the next.
