Immortal Romance
If you somehow haven't come across this wonderful online slot before, Immortal Romance is a hugely popular 5-reel, 243 payline slot that was developed by Microgaming way back in 2011. Since then, however, this horror-themed masterpiece has received a fresh lick of paint, with the developers opting to return to the slot to give it some much-needed upgrades rather than create a sequel, not something we see too much of in this day and age.
If you like your slots to have depth to them, with a rich story to compliment the game's exciting bonus features and mechanics then you'll most certainly find Immortal Romance to your taste.
Design
Immortal Romance still retains a bit of an old-school charm about it, despite having seen some minor graphical upgrades since it first came out. Whilst this gothic slot is most certainly dark and atmospheric, it certainly doesn't overdo it with the theming, which some games in this genre are guilty of doing.
The game is set within the room of a castle dimly lit by what appears to be nothing other than moonlight. The reels themselves are designed to look as if they're built by stone. The game symbols are hand-drawn portraits of our characters and gothic-themed card symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.
Whilst a lot of credit goes to Microgaming for making a game that looks and sounds fantastic, there's actually a bit more to this slot than meets the eye when it comes to the world the developer has built around this title.
If you head over to the game's paytable you'll find that each and every character that's represented as a game symbol has their very own in-depth biography and story written about them, not only that but a narrator will read each one to you as and when you click through onto them. It's a design-element we've never come across before in an online slot game and we LOVE it.
There aren't many slots out there (If any) that are designed to tell an epic tale of forbidden love between humans and vampires. Yes, it sounds a little bit cliche, but at the time of development films and TV shows such as Twilight and True Blood were all the rage, so it's not hard to see why this slot has done so well over the years.
Gameplay
Immortal Romance is a simple game to master, all of the buttons you'll need are situated on the far right-hand side of the screen with the denomination button and autoplay button finding themselves below and above the main spin button respectively. Players can also click the lightning bolt button if they wish to enable to quick spin feature.
Heading over to the paytable will reveal a long page detailing everything you need to know about this game including bonus features, symbol values and of course information on each and every mysterious character that appears in this epic slot.
Win Potential
This high-volatility slot has a more than agreeable RTP of 96.86% and a maximum payout of 12,150x the player's initial stake. So all in all we can't turn our nose up at Immortal Romance as it delivers on all fronts when it comes to value for money.
Our Verdict
This beautiful and truly entertaining game stands head and shoulders above many other horror-themed slots for a number of reasons. If you're after a title that you can truly lose yourself in, that could potentially offer players a solid return for the time they invest, then Immortal Romance would be a great choice of game.
