Immortal Romance Details, RTP, Payout and Volatility
The Immortal Romance slot is played using 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. Land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols and/or wilds on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel and you’ll create a winning combination. Symbols can appear in any position on their reels too. With the scatter, 2 or more will result in a winning outcome.
This vampire romance is available to play at bet levels of between £/€/$ 0.30 to 30.00 per spin. Click/press on the Coins icon to adjust your bet size. In most jurisdictions (not the UK), there is Autoplay which allows up to 100 auto spins. Another gameplay option is Quick Spin which speeds up the spin speed.
The Immortal Romance RTP is 96.86% which is much better than average (around the 96% mark). Games Global has also produced 94.12% and 92.1% RTP versions which may be used at certain online casinos. Check within the game’s Help section.
As you’d expect from a slot where vampires feature heavily, this is a slot that comes with plenty of bite as far as variance goes. The volatility is very high. Winning combinations will land every 3.2 spins (on average) as the hit frequency rate is 31.21%.
Finally, the win potential matches the volatility with the Immortal Romance slot delivering 12,150 x bet max wins. This can be won in the Troy feature which is described in more detail below.
Immortal Romance Theme, Audio and Symbols
With a vampire theme, a game featuring witches and vampires like the Immortal Romance slot was never likely to be filled with rainbows and pretty pastel colours. Expect plenty of darkness and a rather creepy feel to the visuals and that is exactly what you’ll see.
The exterior of an imposing Gothic building is the setting. According to Games Global, the game tells a dark tale of love and intrigue. There’s a rather haunting quality to the soundtrack which is a good fit for this theme. It matches the visuals nicely.
Those visuals received a makeover in 2020. The original release was starting to look its age but the remastering has brought things nicely up to date. In particular, the various free spins features have their own custom soundtrack which adds to the appeal the game offers.
The reels are made up of lower value A to 9 symbols as well as a book of spells, a haunted castle and 4 character symbols. There’s Amber the rather glamorous witch (Grotbags she ain’t), Troy the vampire playboy, Michael the 800-year-old vampire (who doesn’t look a day over 25) and Sarah, the heroine of our tale. Sarah is the best-paying symbol with 5 in combination awarding a 16.67 x bet payout.
Joining the standard symbols is the Immortal Romance Wild. This substitutes for everything apart from the scatter. As well as paying 3.33, 8.33 or 50 x bet if you land 3, 4 or 5 wilds in combination, it also doubles the payouts when it makes up part of a win with the standard symbols. Finally, there’s the Lion Door Knocker Scatter symbol and the key to unlocking the game’s free spins features. Here is a list of symbol payouts and functions:
- 9: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.17, 0.5 or 3.33 x bet
- 10: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.17, 0.5 or 3.33 x bet
- J: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.23, 0.67 or 4.17 x bet
- Q: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.23, 0.67 or 4.17 x bet
- K: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.33, 0.83 or 5 x bet
- A: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.33, 0.83 or 5 x bet
- Book of Spells: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2 or 8.33 x bet
- Haunted Castle: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2 or 10 x bet
- Amber: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.67, 2.67 or 11.67 x bet
- Troy: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.67, 2.67 or 13.33 x bet
- Michael: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 3.33 or 15 x bet
- Sarah: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 3.33 or 16.67 x bet
- Immortal Romance Wild: Substitutes, pays up to 50 x bet + doubles payouts in wins
- Lion Door Knocker Scatter: 3+ triggers free spins and pays up to 200 x bet
Immortal Romance Mobile
It’s possible to play the Immortal Romance slot on all devices including mobiles, tablets as well as desktops and laptops. Compatible with iOS and Android smartphones, the super sharp remastered version works very nicely on the smaller screen. For the full aural experience, I would suggest sounds on though.
Immortal Romance Bonus Features
There’s a cracking collection of extras in the Immortal Romance online slot. The Wild Desire feature can turn multiple reels wild. Trigger The Chamber of Spins and there are 4 potential free spins features, each with special modifiers.
Wild Desire
The Wild Desire feature can trigger randomly on any spin. Between 1 and 5 reels will be filled with wilds. A payout consideration is then made with all the stacked wilds in position. If you manage to fill all 5 reels with wilds, you’ll pocket the max win of 12,150 x your total bet.
The Chamber of Spins
Open The Chamber of Spins features by landing 3, 4 or 5 Lion Door Knocker Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. You’ll receive a payout of 2, 20 or 200 x your total bet before going on to play 1 of 4 possible free spins feature.
To start, only the Amber Free Spins are available. The more times you trigger The Chamber of Spins, the other features unlock. The Troy, Michael and Sarah free spins can be selected once you’ve triggered The Chamber of Spins 5, 10 or 15 extra times respectively. Here is what each of the features entails:
- Amber Free Spins: This round awards 10 free spins, complete with a massive 5x multiplier boost. Always available to pick, you can retrigger for 20 free spins in total.
- Troy Free Spins: These unlock after you’ve triggered the Chamber of Spins 5 times. With 15 free spins awarded, it’s enhanced with the Vampire Bats feature. The Vampire Bats come with 2x and 3x multipliers attached. Land more than one and their values are combined up to 6x to deliver even bigger multiplier boosts.
- Michael Free Spins: Unlock the Chamber of Spins 10 times and you’ll have the chance to choose the Michael Free Spins. On offer are 20 free spins with Rolling Reels. Successive wins expand multipliers from 2x up to a maximum of 5x.
- Sarah Free Spins: Available after you’ve opened the Chamber of Spins 15 times, the Sarah Spins deliver 25 free spins with the Wild Vine feature. The Wild Vine on reel 3 transforms a random collection of symbols into wilds. Landing scatters add up to 4 extra free spins to your total here too.
Finally, you don’t have to unlock the various free spin offerings in a single setting. The game remembers how many times you’ve triggered The Chamber of Spins and returns to that amount the next time you log on.
Immortal Romance Review Verdict
Remastered a couple of times by Games Global/Microgaming, the Immortal Romance slot is one of the biggies when it comes to the most popular online slots of all time. It’s easy to see why too. You’ll find terrific design, loads of backstory and a quality array of bonus features. The superb soundtrack is also available on Spotify by the way.
The wild reels in the Wild Desire bonus can really rev up the base game with 5 reels awarding the game’s max win. It’s the quartet of free spins features, complete with their associated modifier extras that have proved such a smash hit. Unlocking all 4 features isn’t the easiest of tasks but can prove worth the effort thanks to the multipliers and wild extras on offer.
The numbers for Immortal Romance stack up well too. The 96.86% RTP is well above average and the 12,150 x bet max wins impresses. The volatility might be a bit high for some tastes though.
The original Immortal Romance slot has proved so popular and has spawned a Mega Moolah jackpot version which is called Immortal Romance: Mega Moolah. That means these vampires can deliver progressive jackpots on top of the usual collection of extras. The big Mega Jackpot is seeded at £2 million but awards average wins of €6,694,281 every 46 days. Naturally, the RTP in the jackpot version is much lower at 93.42% compared to the original though.
The Immortal Romance slot is my all-time favourite game and remains a top choice for avid slot fans. You’ll be pleased to know that Games Global/Stormcraft Studios will be releasing Immortal Romance 2 which is expected to hit online casinos sometime in 2024.
Finally, if you want slot games with multiple free spins features, Games Global offers you Game of Thrones (based on the iconic TV series) and Thunderstruck 2 (which inspired Immortal Romance).
