Immortal Romance Returns in Stunning Revamp

Published: tue 30 jun 2020

Microgaming Renews it's Most Popular Slot

Back in 2011, Microgaming released a game called Immortal Romance, which brought the sexier side of vampirism to discerning online slot players. It was a big hit, which isn’t at all surprising when you consider that Twilight fever was at its peak and people seemingly couldn’t get enough of vampires, but the popularity of Immortal Romance wasn’t short-lived by any means. The game has since become a firm favourite with many players, and Microgaming have therefore seen fit to breathe new life into the original by giving it a comprehensive revamp.

Vampires Improve with Age

Vampires have the enviable tendency to improve with age, which probably has something to do with the cumulative effects of ingesting the lifeblood of their human victims. The revamped version of Immortal Romance is also superior to the original, whilst retaining everything that made the first version popular to begin with.

This title has five reels, three rows, and gives you 243 ways to win. The game takes place in a dark gothic building in front of ornate lead-glass windows. It is night, but shafts of mysterious sparkling light can be seen to the upper left and right of the screen.

The symbols appearing on the reels include stone renderings of the playing card ranks of 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, a journal, the grand home of the vampires, four different characters (Amber, Troy, Michael and Sarah), the Immortal Romance logo, which is wild, and a door knocker in the shape of a lion’s head, which is a scatter.

One of the things we really like about this slot is that it has a story. Head over to the pay table and underneath each of the characters you will see a STORY button. Click it and you will hear a potted biography of the associated character which explains who they are and why they are here in the first place. That gives the game a lot of depth, and is something that we would like to see, where applicable, in many more games.

The graphics are beautifully detailed, and this newly revamped version of Immortal Romance is now in HTML5 format, which has made it possible for Microgaming to enhance the animations. Audio has also been improved, so whilst the very popular soundtrack will be familiar to anyone who enjoyed the original, the quality has been taken up a notch or two.

Wild Desire Feature

A Wild Desire feature can be triggered at any time, and when that happens it will cause up to five reels to turn completely wild. The more reels that turn wild, the better, and turning all five reels wild would obviously give you maximum cause for celebration.

Chamber of Spins Feature

Get three or more scatter symbols on the reels and you will be given entry to the Chamber of Spins. From here you will proceed to enjoy one of four Free Spins features, each of which is associated with a different character and has different parameters, as follows:

• Amber will give you 10 free spins and all wins that are achieved will be enhanced by a 5x multiplier. Should you be lucky enough to get another three or more scatters on the reels, you will retrigger the feature
• Troy will give you 15 free spins, and this mode will have a Vampire Bats feature active which can randomly turn symbols into multipliers worth 2x or 3x. This mode can be accessed when you have triggered the Chamber of Spins five times
• Michael will give you 20 free spins with a Rolling Reels feature active, The Rolling Reels reward consecutive wins with a multiplier that starts at 2x and increases with each win, up to 5x. This mode can be accessed when you have triggered the Chamber of Spins ten times
• Sarah will give you 25 free spins, and here a Wild Vine feature will be active. This is a special symbol on the third reel which can randomly transform symbols into wilds. Get 2, 3, 4 or 5 more scatter symbols on the reels and you will retrigger 1, 2, 3 or 4 extra free spins, respectively. This mode can be accessed when you have triggered the Chamber of Spins fifteen times

We like the fact that repeated triggering of the Chamber of Spins feature gives access to a gradually increasing range of Free Spins modes, because it adds an element of progression and plenty of longevity to an already satisfying game.
