We recently had an in-depth look at our review library and were stunned to see how much we have neglected Microgaming products. It is unforgivable, as they’ve been around since the very start (1994). Everyone throws around the terms trailblazer and pioneer, but no one can deny that Microgaming is just that in the iGaming sphere. So, we decided to designate some space on BTCGOSU for a few of their slots. They have more than 500 of them, so we feel that we should list at least some.

Immortal Romance is likely their most successful release ever, so we are kicking things off with it. It hit online casinos in December of 2011 and was a smash hit. Over the past decade, it has maintained in the top 50, continuously entering and exiting the top ten ranks. So, let us dive deep and explore this vampire romp to see what about it has captivated spinners.

Theme & Design

If you did not know already, Immortal Romance is about vampires. A popular theme in the industry, with some 150 spinners incorporating this piece of European folklore. That said, when it comes to it, there is no doubt that this title reigns supreme over all competitors. The story here revolves around four characters named Troy, Michael, Amber, and Sarah. The male ones are vampires, while the females are humans that are in love with them. The whole game gives off a very Twilight feel. We cannot blame Microgaming for that since it came out in 2011 when the movie series was about to wrap up, and its popularity was at an all-time high.

The reels here spin in front of a gothic stone house with large windows. An ornamented cast iron construction frames the reel grid, and it features an angel and demon statue at the top on both sides. The graphics here are painterly, and they look like teen book illustrations. Everything is life-like but a bit cartoony. Know that storyline animations play on a central screen throughout the gameplay. So, they are something to look forward to while you spin.

The old buttons configuration consisted of two large red buttons. These are the spin one and bet adjuster, which you could find at the bottom of your screen. However, you are far more likely to locate this game utilizing the more modern Microgaming panel. On a desktop, it has all of the necessary options lined up vertically.

Specs & Gameplay

Immortal Romance is a five-reel, three-row slot that uses the 243-ways-to-win format. It is a medium variance game with an above-average RTP of 96.86%. Though, some operators may lower this percentage to 96.01%. So, always check. The bet sizes here range from $0.3 to $60, and the max exposure is x12,150. Thus, the maximum win potential here is decent, and it suits small to medium-rollers. Wins happen when you land three to five identical symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost one.

The low-paying symbols here are the typical A-9 royals. If five matching royals appear on the grid on a payline, they pay out a prize that can range from x3.3 to x5 your stake. There are quite a few high-paying symbols here. Starting from the lowest to highest in value, they rank as so, letter, castle, Amber, Troy, Michael, Sarah. Those in this batch provide, for five-of-a-kind, provide prizes between x8.3 to x16.6 your wager.

The game logo is the Wild, and hitting five of these symbols on a spin, on a payline, will get you a reward of x50 your stake. It substitutes all symbols except the Scatter. The door knocker is the Scatter, and if you hit it five times, you will get a win x200 your bet.

Bonus Features

Immortal Romance features a randomly activated Wild Desire mode. When it triggers, it will turn specific reels fully Wild, up to all five. This mode is not active in the Free Spins Bonus Round (The Chamber of Spins).

Landing three or more door knockers (Scatters) will gain you entry into the Chamber of Spins. There, you get to choose one of the four characters. Each one carries his/her perks. Amber will get you ten free spins and will multiply all wins x5. Troy will provide fifteen complimentary reel rotations with the Vampire Bats feature active. Michael will get you twenty spins with the Rolling Reels mode in play, and Sarah will supply twenty-five spins and the Wild Vine feature.
