Seeing is believing

The mood is instantly set as you start the slot. This isn’t a light-hearted game – instead, we’re thrown right into the vampire’s lair. Listen to the foreboding music, and hear it intensify if you’re in line for three Scatter symbols. If you get a win, it looks as if you’ll be let out safely, as the music gets a little brighter in tone.

We can’t say the same for the graphics however, as they remain dark and bewitching. Our bloodsucker friends all look incredibly realistic as they stare straight at us, and you’ll see all sorts of gloomy-looking decorations too – this is firm vampire territory.

How many ways to win?

Instead of using the conventional paylines that we all know and love, Immortal Romance have gone for the ‘Ways’ model. Hence, you’ve got 243 different ways to win on each spin – all wins pay left to right, so you just need adjacent symbol combinations.

There are 5 reels in all, so you’ll see 15 symbols appear on the play board during each spin – the most valuable are the Wild and Scatter symbols, but the vampires themselves are also valuable, so don’t be afraid if they pop up from time to time. When the Wild symbol substitutes for regular symbols, it pays out double, so it could be your lucky day…

Vampires on Fire

There are a couple of different features on offer here, so we’ll begin with the Wild Desire Feature. This will turn up randomly – so keep a lookout – and will turn up to 5 reels wild. Surely, that’s the perfect time to pick up some wins? Alongside this, if we venture further into the vampires’ haunt, is the Chamber of Spins.

To be awarded entry, you just need 3 or more Scatter symbols, and a number of special perks will await you. First up is Amber, who’ll get you 10 free spins and a multiplier of 5x. Then there’s Troy, with 15 free spins and a 6x multiplier, as well as the Vampire Bat Feature, turning symbols into multipliers.

Next up is Michael, with 20 free spins and Rolling Reels, and Sarah, who offers 25 free spins and the Wild Vine feature, which transforms symbols into extra wilds at random. The more times you enter the Chamber of Spins, the further you can go. Will you meet all four of them?

Conclusion

Immortal Romance is a creative slot with immersive graphics and some great features – not to mention the backstory it gives for each vampire character. Although it clearly takes inspiration from the glut of vampire-based franchises that exploded in the late 2000s, you don’t have to be a bloodsucker boffin to play as there’s something for everyone here.

With an RTP of 96.86%, it offers a decent return compared to a lot of online slots, and has a high volatility rate too, so give it a go if you’re feeling risky. With 243 ways to win too, there’s a lot to sink your teeth into!
