Out with the Old and In with the New for Microgaming

December 5^th, 2011 saw the release of one of the iGaming industry’s most popular slots – Immortal Romance. A tale of love, lust and vampires captivated a global audience with a series of bountiful bonus features and impressive pay potential.

What made this slot so attractive was its dark theme, choice of…

…four bonus spins modes and its epic multipliers of more than 12,000x the initial bet! Both high rollers and low stakes players could stand to benefit from a colossal win and despite aging with every year that es, the love for the game has grown.

Read All About It

You only have to take a look at the news section to see just how quick new games are released and as a result of this, timeless classics such as Immortal Romance take a step back. As new emerge with revolutionary features and exceptional graphics, older titles seem less attractive and ultimately offer little or no competition for the fresh-faced counterparts.

To ensure this doesn’t happen with one of their own, Microgaming have taken time out from slot production duties to remaster Immortal Romance. The firm player favourite still offers all its usual features, only the layout, graphics and ease of gameplay have changed.

Andrew Clucas, Chief Operating Officer at Microgaming had this to say on the reinvented slot:

“In today’s gaming landscape, it is imperative that we continue to strive to ensure that our entire casino offering remains at the top of its game – so while we will continue to provide quality game releases every month, we are also enhancing and optimising our current offering, such as our popular classics and feature-rich games, so as to bring players even more enjoyable and entertaining gaming experiences.

Immortal Romanceremains one of our most popular online slot games of all time. The remastered upgrades enhance and pay homage to our Immortal Romance brand, which continues to be enjoyed by players around the world.”

What’s the Verdict?

We’ve had the pleasure of playing both the old and the new version of the slot game and there are only a few minor differences! Yes, the visuals are more immersive, but other than the game being more of a mobile-friendly video slot, there’s not much else to document. Oh, perhaps the control could do with a mention what with it being uncluttered with the added options for auto play and turbo mode.

The biggest change (or should that be challenge?) comes with the pay table and if you’re playing on desktop devices, scrolling through this menu may prove to be quite difficult! The slightest scroll of our mouse and the screen will jump quicker than a flea on a dog! Be warned!

Everything else stays the same – untouched and aging like fine wine! The duo of vampires, the secret witch and the doctor of pathology remain intact with a story waiting to play out. Will Sarah eventually discover the cure for vampirism and destroy her only shot at true love? It’s time to find out!
