Immortal Romance slots suddenly turns very cold for me, anyone notice that?

[Jono777]

Don't know why I torture myself, no foil hatting but they defo do not play anywhere near as fair as when first released, maybe they are played a lot less and that is the reason

Just had 'one last blast' on them and all I was rewarded with was more 'wild wipeouts' (Had 3 on all reels numerous times and not once did 2 or more reels 'open')

Constant 2 scatter 'teasers' (none of which came) and my pet hate is when it is there for the 'Lucky Nudge' and doesn't budge grrr

Left Panda Save-a-wilds on 3-2-3-3-3 upon busting, I'm sure this wouldn't have happened if the slot kind of knew I had a pending withdrawal which will be sat there until tomorrow, no chance Panda

 

[PNEFOREVER2]

Can count the number of withdrawals I've made the last 2 & 1/2 years from playing this monstrosity on one hand.

Same thing seems to happen every session, 2 scatters every other spin, takes 3-400 spins to get a bonus round, hit sod all when I finally get one, then just before busting out it rubs salt in the wound by giving me a 1 reeled wild desire which inevitably pays sod all.

Don't know why I keep playing it, always think "can't have a worse session that the last one", then I end up having a worse one.

 

[PNEFOREVER2]

Finally a good hit on IR, the Amber feature. £476 on a 60p stake.

 

[Jono777]

Had a very frustrating run on this slot last night but still actually left with a small profit.

roughly 2 hours play and about 1200 spins managed,

12 x Troy features and 4 x Wild Desire.

Frustrating part was they were all roughly 30x no more, no less. Just wanted one to hit big but at least I didn't lose

 

[gambyx7]

Last 7-8 free spins spend pn Sarah...not a single wild wine on 1st or 2nd reel...no major wins only one 5OAK Troy with 3 wild wines, everything else misery. Since it has 25 spins (and gives 2-3 extre spins average) i tend to pick her though I know what she is like....I have to say that when I get the bonus I have some kind of fear what to pick...very rare I pick Troy lately because of bad history, maybe I should change that. Michael looks like sure bet for some decent (at least 25-30x) wins, but lately he also become stingy.

And here is Wild desire statistic for last 10 days ...

Numbers are reels...

1-2-4-Troy feature (391x)
2-4 (4x)
2-5 (0)
4 (0)
1-3-5 (226x)
1 (0)
1-4 (0)
4 (0)
5 (0)
2-5 (0)
3-5 (30x)
3 (2x)

 

[PyroclasticFlow]

Last night I lost almost 900 euro without hitting the 3 scatters. I destroyed the Ethernet port on laptop
Time for a longer break, I'm really tired. I will get only 13 euros cashback. Videoslots - end of love
I'm kidding, I will always love you for 2 wild lines in dead or alive in the past

 

[Adriana B]

Yup. No luck @ VS on IR for me either yesterday -- I may end up with a couple of bucks cashback -- didn't last long. Went to Leo Vegas and played IR and managed to cash out $100. Could have cashed out twice as much but greed reared its ugly head!

 

[Jono777]

Total turnaround, horrible game

2-3 hours play last night, 12 bonuses, nice hits, nowt huge but enjoyable

Today £80 left over balance (WR still to go or would have banked the lot) no feature bust in less than an hour

 

[gambyx7]

So weird wilds distribution:

It gave some 66x bet, but no way to spit on 1st reel (or at least 5th)...

Only 2 yesterday FS in some 400 spins (although in several sessions with 40-50 spins)...

I stayed away form MG and had great streak. Made the mistake to return to IR & TS2.
They're such terrible games. Really. I really don't understand how I ever did like them.
I feel nothing but disgust.

So weird wilds distribution:

OMG! I couldn't bear the pain. I'd need some serious painkiller. So close to to an ULTRAMEGAWIN.
You must have some great pain management.
Seriously, just looking at this not quite MEGAWIN makes me boil with rage. :mad

And if anyone, even jokingly talks about chasing a 5 reel WD, I can only shake my head in dismay.

 

[DANB9191]

Very, Very Cold

This was my favorite game by Microgaming.. I was always getting the Wild Desire feature and free spins until early 2015, since then it's been really bad !! I try to avoid it now

 

[Jono777]

Good Move!

With or without bonus rounds it will still mercilessly destroy you!

Amber - All wins x 5 - yeah 0x5 is still 0

Troy - Vampire Bats feature, may as well fuck em off as 3OAK '10' with bats is a max of 0.15 win

Michael - Why is there multipliers across the top

Sarah - with her 'random' (my arse) wild wine which only goes to reel 3 and 5!

Wild Desire - oh look reel 5 only again, yes yes yes - reels 3,4 and 5 wild, bullshit, letters on 1 and pics on 2

Base game, If I see that single scatter on reel one once more and as for Reels one and two Sarah with wild them letters on reel 3 aarrgghhhhh fuck off IR!

Never had a decent Troy or Michael bonus game.. They're pretty boring comparing to the Amber and Sarah bonus games.. I got £183 on £0.30p stakes on the Amber bonus game about 2 years ago.. Had an alright Sarah bonus feature too but not as nice as the Amber one.

Best of luck with the Wild Desire I've only ever had two stacked wilds and most of them end up being losing spins YOU COULD BE SO MUCH BETTER !!

Very few features tonight, but this beauty came in about 45 mins ago

 

[Jono777]

You're slipping Nicola

A 'standard' screenie from you would normally have the Sarah on reel 5 no problem lol

[gambyx7]

Maybe you remember that "good A1-E3 sign". Since this post I had it 4 times: 2 times nothing happened, but 2 times it did announce bonus/big wins.

Today, 10 spins from this 2 scatter position, it gave FS. Picked Amber - 4x bet win. Two spin s later, again FS - picked Sarah 11x win. 20 spins later again bonus , but I quit because I really have no idea what to pick...

I should be happy for getting bonus, but I have so little hope for anything big..


I could even accept that horrible and mean Sarah programming (it is not random in any way, that's for sure) if two things are rectified:

1. 3 or scatters should retrigger full number of spins in all features (not just Amber)
2. wilds shouldn't appear in middle (3th) reel since the wild generator is alway on that reel

But those are just my dreams...

Yeah you're definitely slipping Nicola. The "old you" would have had this down as a screenie that sucks.

Which is arguably where it should be. You don't need me to tell you what a wild or Sarah (or both) on Reel 5 would have meant.

 

[theapple]

I caught this one in some sort of hot mode really, had a veeeeery decent session where i started with $11 and ended up with $177 in 355 spins, all without any huge wins and all on 30/60c bets. My biggest win was $21 on 60c bet so really nothing huge but there was like a billion of those smaller "big" wins.

You can really tell its hot if your first spin is 4 scatters, but it was super strange session really. I mean i got 4 scatters before too, but tonight in 355 spins i had 7 features (all paid crap though) but 3 of those were triggered via 4 scatters (and those were especially bad, lol).

Unlike IR, which was very kind to me in past 2-3 weeks, TS 2 is either cold, or super cold lately. Today i started of $25 deposit, and after 60 spins (30c) on TS i was down to $11. My biggest win was x5 and that 2 scatter win was still showing as one of top wins in my stats window... I even got $hitstorm with 2 connected wilds which paid that x5 so in normal play my biggest was probably like x1 from two scatters

Think im gonna stop playing Thunderstruck for a good while, because i doubt IR can rescue me every time. Last week i started with $50 deposit, lost $42 on it before switching to IR, this time i was a bit smarter i suppose

oh and something probably not relevant (more like superstition i suppose) but i thought i should mention it anyways - its not first time that i switch from totally dead TS to IR just to find IR in veeeeery generous mode Either way, i stopped at 357 spins because i was sure such a good run cant last forever

screenie from my ok..ish 38 mins run



ah and last week rescue WD, dont think i posted it here yet



and a couple of years ago when i was still actively playing, i liked TS2 much more than IR. Its odd how things change

EDIT: just found this screenie

**and this is why you never, ever play in fun mode**. I wasnt even sure if this one is mine or i found it on the net, but then i noticed its from same small poker room i sometimes play at, so sadly i think it really is mine (its a poker room that has MG casino as side games).

 

[curremon]

I have used now all 5 of the guts birthdaypromos and played allmost exclusively microgaming slots with these bonuses...
Not a single feature with over 5000 spins... im so pissed right now

you and me both mate

2 features from £40 starting balance today, both shit, then after 2nd feature IR dies like its just paid me a grand!!!

Best base game hit 5OAK Amber (without wild)
1 Wild Desire (4th Reel) £0
Sarah Feature just over £2
Troy paid £19 early on but I was already losing more than that before it triggered.

Wouldn't mind but its every time I play IR now so I feel ya pain

Used all codes like yourself and IR and JP are my main played, deadly, have to rely on Netent for a tiny bit of game time.

yeah thats good old IR (and most 243 ways slots tbh) :/ Ive had some horrible sessions in the past, but now im past chasing it anymore. I just run any of those 243 ways (it actually applies to all slots imo) and if they are super cold, now i have no problems leaving after 50, 40, or hell even after just 20 spins. If its cold its cold and out of maybe 100 times i decided to stick with a cold slot, i dont think it was worth it maybe a handful of times, if that many.

How many times were you playing a cold slot and had super crap base game wins just to finally hit a FS, which inevitably paid f-all? Now i try to avoid doing that whenever possible, but sometimes i also get caught in a loop and it really feels so... deja vu really.
Heck the other day i was so pissed off with Piggys riches (and thats after i finally decided to stick to my "if its super cold after 50 spins tops, leave") that i ended up playing it for 700 spins. And only reason i actually left was because i just couldnt stand the sound of those damned 2 scatters, lol. So im well aware how hard it can be to leave a slot, especially one with such a nice potential but now

Yeah i do know about theoretical "every spin on its own ! " thing but tbh im not buying it anymore. Yesterday i had a session on IR where 10 spins without big win popping up was a rare sight, and yet there were sessions where id burn 500 or more spins, with no big wins, just trying to hit that dam FS round, and i dont think my chase was worth it, 95% of the time anyways. And at least speaking from my own experience, its like that 9 out of 10 times. Bar a few freak hits on Jurassic Park slot with its stacked wilds, i dont think i actually ever managed to recover from 500...ish odd dead spins session.

Its especially important if we keep in mind most of us start with a (sometimes very) limited bankroll, so we cant really wait for 500, or 1000 spins for that big win but even then you really need a couple of x200 - x300 just to get to the point you started at. So imo, HV or not HV slots arent really worth chasing even if you have a healthy bankroll behind you, you really dont want to chase that x400 wins if base game is paying crap, by the time you actually get that win you are still going to be behind

not sure how it ended up with me writing a wall of text about something i wanted to explain in a few sentences (and probably could have)
but i think we can blame Piggys for this one. i swear i can still hear oinks and its been days since i played that thing :/

edit: just to make things clear, there are some notable exceptions to my rule - games like DoA, bdba, Reel steal and such, obviously

 

[Adriana B]

Where were you last night theapple. Could have used your advice. We all know not to chase slots but you keep thinking the f**** thing owes you so you just keep spinning. Lost $80+ last night which is a lot for me. I just kept depositing hoping to hit a big one. First mistake was playing Holmes and the Secret Stones. Thought I won the jackpot -- uh huh -- free spins with a freaking ridiculous payout. Then went on to Dragons Temple that was really playing well (should have cashed out at this point as I would have ended up with a tidy profit). I think my thinking was I wanted to qualify for Battle of the Slots. DOH!

 

[Nicola]

So many Microgaming quickfire UK licensed casinos have opened in recent weeks with tempting deposit bonuses, but just not feeling this slot anymore to deposit.

I have so much fun playing NetEnt and only play IR when I see others winnings on it

One day I will hit that 5-reel wild desire

 

[gambyx7]

I play 20-50 spins on IR, nut in many sessions 8combining with TS2, TFROL and 9-liners). If I have decent balance and good start with 50AK(s), then I push to 1000 spins.

However, I have noticed something: if I play normaly (without stopping reels) I see some very ususall combinations. But when I stop it, I see the whole "world" of new combinations. I am not saying that this is better, but different it is. Today I got 4OAK Troy and Sarah (sadly, without wild). The win is minor, but I can't remember when I got playing in "regular way". If nothing else, the slot becomes somewhat fresh and interesting.

yeah thats pretty much how i do it too nowadays. Heck thats how it is with most slots for me now, bar a few exceptions of DoA, bdba, and their clones i rarely stick with a slot that starts too cold now. Only reason why i dont mind playing on cold DoA or BDBA is because those slots pretty much can pay as a lump sum, while on "normal" slots you really need a few of those normal, semi big wins to stay afloat

 

[gambyx7]

Ice-cold last 2-3 days. Nothing. WD disappeared completely, I just got one FS (A-B-C reels scatter position which is traditionaly bad for me). Picked Sarah and ended without any wild wine feature in 28 spinns and with 8x win which landed me painfully in bust.

But I have to be honest, my other favourite slots also slammed the door...really weird, but I guess those days happen...

yeah same for me lately. Started playing in one new mg casino and havent really played it all that much, because i dont stick with cold slots anymore, so only unlocked 9 features so far. Out of those 9 only one paid 30x, the rest was 10x or less :/ i did hit a couple of WD though but 3 reels WD paid a bit over 33x so yeah ...

but even at its worst, its still better than its brother, TS2

I mean how can you like a slot where one of its main features is almost guaranteed to pay $#($)# all, and you just want it to be over as soon as possible. Speaking of which, since shitstorm is not something pretty much anyone is looking forward to anymore, they might as well get rid of that feature completely and transfer its RTP % to normal play, it would make it much a better game, imo

 

[curremon]

Have now used 7 bonuses at guts during their birthday promo...

STILL NO FEATURE FORM MICROGAMING GAMES.. But hey.. i got feature from raging rhino with 4 scatters.. won that trigger 10x bet + 5x bet -.-
Im done with them....

 

[Jd666]

Does anyone know how i can get in touch with Microgaming to let them know that the wild desire feature is broken.

 

[s1lv14]

I started to hate this game, unfortunately, I used to love it but in past week I have lost sooo much mony while playing it!! I can definitely say that my salary is for this month is gone! And I hate that it turned so so cold to me and to everyone.. I am sure I am not the only one who was winning like a lot with only this game..

 

[slotmaster]

Hit 3 wd in a short time including my first spin, All nothing special. I still hate Amber free spins.

 

[Jono777]

Amber is my last choice also, never 'puts out'

Slot has currently also gone to the other end of the scale, a massive, almost unreal 36 bonus rounds over 2 deposits the weekend.

Yesterday and today countless spins and never more than 2 scatters

 

[brianmon]

I'm still doing ok on IR, depending where I play it at. Casumo is abysmal, EveryMatix sites are ok. But it's playing best for me at 32Red (just the download site though).

Although I managed a cashout of £800 from a £60 deposit + £50 bonus last week.
I struggled to get ahead of my starting balance by much, last night.
I was getting some half decent wins, but only after I'd lost quite a bit.
my £60 deposit + £30 bonus, only peaked at about £220 (very early, as usual ), and I finished the WR with only £130

 

[BrianGhattas]

Slots Million sent me an e-mail asking me to play Immortal Romance. No thank you. Other games they recommended include Bloodsuckers, Bloopers, Starburst and Aloha. A sorry bunch.

 

[Adriana B]

Got the same email Brian.

 

[gambyx7]

Last few days I concetrated myself on Sarah as only FS choice.

Managed to get 20 "Sarahs". This is so miserable:
- max. number of wiild feature is 5 (3 is average) of 25-28 spinns
- max. number of wild produced by the feature is 4 (2 is average)
- in winning combinations which could result in decent to excellent win (50AK Sarah) wild feature regulary gives ONLY ONE wild
- in non winning situations feature gives 3 to 4 extra wild
- in all 20 SARAHS ONLY ONCE WILD IS PRODUCED ON FIRST REEL (that was the only wild), all others on 3rd and 5th reel

Random, of course it is random...I have feeling that there is more chance of getting 4 or even 5 reel WD than anything bigger than 200x on Sarah.

 

[lockinlove]

Im finding all MG slots to be really ridiculous. Very close to putting them all (but Jurassic Park) on my never again list.

Last couple weeks its taking me well over 500 spins for a feature on all their games. Tonight it took me 750 spins on girls with guns...and I still didnt hit it and just left. Did 525 spins on IR. Had a wild desire feature pay me 30 cents. No free spins. T2 813 spins to get free spins.

Its every single one of their slots. Its really wild.

I tend to lose a bunch on their slots now and recoup them on other providers. So its becoming senseless to play them

I've always found that MG 243 ways games are very much a feast or famine affair when it comes to features. Rarely do you find that "happy/safe middle ground" ie triggering a feature around the expected average of 130 - 150 spins. As an example of the extremes a player can have...I'll give one glaring example. Avalon 2 - on two occasions I have gone over 1000 spins without getting a feature. On another occasion, I did the full "circuit" of features in under 350 spins, averaging one feature trigger in under 50 spins. That's over three times better than the expected average. If you get them in "a good mood", they are great. But god help you if they are in a bad mood.

Actually the more I think about it, any game with the number in the title (ie Avalon 2, TS2, GWG2, T2)....they are all capable of very nasty extremes when it comes to dishing out features. And to compound that, quite often, the features are low paying shit....especially on GWG2 and T2.

But most of the MG 243 ways catalogue is capable of producing wins of 1000x. Hence why the cold streaks are so punitively cold.

 

[Jono777]

Meant to mention it last night.

I've noticed since joining CM we end up having the 'What's happened to MG Slots?' conversation, myself adding a nice little rant and rave into the mix every once in a while.

The screenshots become less and less, the frustration builds and the tin foil wear comes out the wardrobe.

Then as if my magic, they start to deliver the 'player friendly' side of their capability, so defo a case of swings and roundabouts.

The thing I do strongly believe in though with MG (243 ways slots especially) is that there is no cold and hot spins/days/sessions. It seems more a case of cold and hot weeks/months, swings in variance based over much longer periods than say Netent or WMS HV games.

This is learnt from LOTS of spins on these 'little beauties' take last weekend as a small example, feature after feature on IR (beginning to think it was broken lol) nowt huge but amazing game time, lasted 3 days, even into Monday after work!

Since then I've struggled to hit 2 scatters, never mind 3 or more!

 

[brianmon]

Rarely do you find that "happy/safe middle ground" ie triggering a feature around the expected average of 130 - 150 spins.

I've been stuck in the "happy/safe middle ground" at 32Red for about a week now. Ever since i got a 932x bonus round I can't win or lose



£100 starting balance - £100 finishing balance after 1250 spins (minus the freespins)
My balance never went above £130 or below £50

 

[curremon]

11 deposits at guts.. 9 of them with bonus 50%-100%... NOT A SINGLE FEATURE FROM ANY MICROGAMING SLOT!!!!!

This is not bad luck anymore... Holy fuck my tinfoilhat has never been this deep in my head...................

 

[Nicola]

Horrible night, lots of bonuses but all paid less than x10 stake. Thank god I only low-roll these days.

 

[gambyx7]

For me misery, also.
Last FS I had was Amber..2nd spin gave 2 scatters and that was it.

Now, and I know it is silly question, but has anyone contacted MG about "random" Sarah wilds (in nearly 30 features only one wild is produceed on the 1 st reel).
I mean, they could explain in feature descriptions that wild will be generally produced at reel 3 and 5...

That is if they produce at all. Had several features now that had NO wild vines.

 

[Nicola]

Horrible, just horrible at 60 cent bets.

€100 deposit, straight down to circa €12.00 without any bonuses or big wins. Two (maybe three) completely useless wild desires then this hit:

Changed game straight after, lucky escape
