ABOUT IMMORTAL ROMANCE MEGA MOOLAH
Mega Moolah is one of Microgaming’s signature products – a progressive slot program that, since its inception, has paid out a total of over £1.3 billion in jackpot prizes!
Well, Microgaming has decided to blend its two flagship items – Immortal Romance and the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot into a single entity that most certainly won’t go unnoticed in the online casino gaming community.
Founded in 1994, Microgaming has for decades stood atop the casino software development industry. Their games are prominently featured on all UK online casinos and slot sites. The Immortal Romance Mega Moolah slot features several progressive jackpots, with the smallest starting at just £10 and the biggest, Mega Jackpot, at a whopping £1 million. But, you can score big wins even outside these jackpots, with a potential of 12,000x your stake if all five reels contain wild cards, which, as you can guess, occurs rarely. The minimum bet is £0.30 while the maximum is £6.
THEMES, SYMBOLS, AND PAYTABLE
It’s a Vampire-themed slot, with the overall look and feel of the game not that different from the original Immortal Romance (2011). That is a big plus, considering the original got it right in almost every aspect and stood the test of time.
There are 14 different symbols that can line up (or not, in the case of scatters) to form winning combinations. These symbols vary from low-paying icons like 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, to higher-paying symbols represented by the game’s four characters: Amber, Troy, Michael, and Sarah, as the highest-paying symbol, rewarding up to 16.66x the wager amount for 5 on a pay line.
RTP, VARIANCE, AND PAYOUTS
RTP refers to ‘Return to Player’, and is the percentage of money the slot gives back on average. The Immortal Romance’s RTP has been reduced when compared to the original Mega Moolah game. The Immortal Romance Mega Moolah RTP is 93.4%, which is slightly lower than high RTP slots that don’t have to surrender their profits to build up a jackpot.
The volatility (or variance) of the game is also much higher compared to its predecessor. What that means is you shouldn’t expect to win frequently, but whenever you do win, the value of your winnings will be significantly higher.
If you don’t count the Major Jackpot over £1 million, the maximum payout is 12,150x the stake.
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
Scatter symbols and wilds that trigger free spins bonuses and increase your winning chances are standard features that Microgaming has borrowed from the original Mega Moolah slot. Naturally, scatter symbols and wilds are present at almost any slot and are not a unique feature of Immortal Romance Mega Moolah.
Game mechanics are pretty much the same as the original, only with an extra feeling of excitement knowing that you can hit the jackpot or stake multiplier anytime.
IMMORTAL ROMANCE MEGA MOOLAH PAYOUTS
Immortal Romance Mega Moolah has 243 pay lines i.e. 243 ways symbols can align to form winning combinations left to right.
The lion door knocker represents scatter symbols, and by landing 3 or more scatters, you get access to the Chamber of Spins. Here, you can unlock four free spins options based on the four characters – Amber, Troy, Michael, and Sarah spins. Depending on your choice, you can trigger anywhere between 10 and 25 free spins, as well as up to a 6x multiplier.
IMMORTAL ROMANCE MEGA MOOLAH – SIX-FIGURE JACKPOT
The main difference from the main game would surely be the four progressive Mega Moolah jackpots you can trigger randomly at any time. There are 4 progressive jackpots, with Mini Jackpot starting at £10; the Minor Jackpot starting at £100; the Major Jackpot starting at £10,000; and the Mega Jackpot starting at a whopping £1,000,000.
The lion’s head door knocker scatter symbols, as per usual, unlock free spins. Just spin the reels and hope for 3 to 5 scatters across all reels to access one of the four free spins options.
OUR VERDICT
Regarding specs and technicalities like pay lines and RTP, Immortal Romance Mega Moolah is similar to other Microgaming titles like Thunderstruck II, Finer Reels of Life, and Riders of the Storm by Thunderkick.
But, the four progressive jackpots are the unique and enriching complement that makes this crowd-pleasing game stand out!
