Microgaming’s iconic vampire-themed Immortal Romance slot is back again in its most thrilling form yet. The developer has imbued the game with the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot, making this 2011 classic even more alluring to play.

This enhanced version retains most of the features and all of the charm of the original along with the four legendary Mega Moolah progressive prizes, the Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega jackpots.

Immerse yourself in an eternal love story with striking, simple graphics that immerse you in the experience along with an atmospheric soundtrack to match the eerie setting. This fantastical pokie offers an affordable betting range and is fully optimised for mobile, thanks to HTML5 technology.

Fresh fangs

The jackpot-enriched version of the game came out on 24th June 2021 and has already drawn significant attention from players. This is a well-trodden path for Microgaming as it has previously attached the Mega Moolah jackpots to numerous other pokies to great effect.

The original immortal romance received a similarly enthusiastic reception from players when it was first released a decade ago, most likely thanks to its alluringly dark subject matter and the dramatic atmosphere that all the thematic elements combine to create. Get your hands on this supernatural experience and stand the chance to win millions at a Microgaming-powered casino today.

Hard-won award

Slingo Starburst has climbed the popularity charts rapidly since its release, entertaining players in the United States, Europe and the UK. Mark Segal, the Chief Financial Officer of Gaming Realms, expressed how delighted he is at the success of the game’s launch.
