Immortal Romance... the worst win on a feature?

[mrmark21]

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering who else here plays Immortal Romance? I had $650 in winnings and decided to give max betting a shot

I've been playing a lot of Immortal Romance on Practice Play and actually rather liked the game, reminded me very much of the popular land based slot San Choy Doa. Seemed to pay good on Practice Play as well.

So Immortal Romance was my game of choice to max bet on...

HUGE MISTAKE!!

Got on Immortal Romance playing $3.00 - $5.40 a spin... it's gambling after all.

Not winning much on the base game just getting allot of lagging and near hits was relieved to get the feature betting $5.40... i ended up winning less than $15.00 that's less than three times my total bet wow don't spend it all at once

What I'd like to know is, have other forum members found that to be a regular occurrence on Immortal Romance? Has that happened to anyone else before? Below is a screen shot of my feature...

You played max bet on (arguably) the MG slot with the highest variance. Less than 3 times bet for a feature is not common but is not rare either.

Interesting... Well, all the same I'm going to switch to a different casino (have been using Jackpot City) that dosent use Microgaming software. I'm starting to gather from what I've read that streakiness is common for Microgaming casinos?

I don't have much intention of withdrawing unless the win is over the $2000.00 mark, I'll end up loosing the money playing the slots anyway. So really wasnt to phased by this, just shocked.

Playing $5.40 on a $650 balance is risky. You either hit or bust quickly. You need to give yourself 200-300x the spin capacity - $1500 on $5.40 is kinda OK on a High Variance game like this. Getting anywhere between 5x to 20x is common occurrence on Immortal Romance.

It also boils down to luck - You could hit big within your first 100 spins.

I feel better knowing that Just so shocked after how the game played in practice mode compared to real mode at Jackpot City. In practice mode it generally seems to be wins galore Would have been okay with 20x but $25.00 is ridiculously low. What are some good Microgaming slots to max bet on?

Are there any Microgaming slots that have different spin features compared to just 3 or 5 times you're bet? Apart from Thunderstruck 2 (which i don't like) or Immortal Romance, like More Chillies with four game screens or Wheres the Gold where you can choose you're wilds or Tiki Torch where symbols turn wild. I have to say that's the only thing about online slots that turn me off them, they just all seem to feel the same. I know I saw one that reminded me of Sweet Hearts 2 where five scatters can come up three times, but i cant find the game.

Actually, you won less than ONE times your bet:
You got $10.80 for hitting the 3 scatters before the free-spins even started. Those free-spins only added $3.42...!

As a matter of interest, which of the free-spin features did you pick?

Virtually ALL free-spin features on all slots have the potential to pay out ZERO (or very close to it). But similarly, most also have the potential to give you a very big win as well. That's a choice you have to make before you start playing.
You could go for a lower variance slot where the chances of good free-spins is better, or a slot with a picking bonus instead, or both.

A couple of MG slots have a "bonus win" added to every free-spin so that you never get £0. Can't think of all of them off the top of my head, but Cashanova is one for sure.

Try something like Glory of Rome - that's a nice low variance slot with a feature which combines free-spins with a "pick a win" - you would have to be mega-unlucky to get a < x10 win from the feature on that.
Or Gladiator which gives 100 free-spins (Don't be fooled by that though - it's still very low variance).

Hi,

I got the Wild Bats feature... and that's terrible, I have never had such a low paying feature on a max bet. Yeah all features do have the potential to pay out ZERO but that hardly ever happens, and certainly not to me on a high bet. Yes slot features can either loose or win big (the chance i took), but that payout was just terrible. Shocking!

I meant like with free spins, like instead of just times-ing you're win by 3 or 5 they have a different feature, like where you need to collect things for a bigger win, the Secret Admirer game is a good example of this and also a take off of Sweet Hearts 2. Otherwise the features are just a bore, i like fun features. Similar to the Immortal Romance features just not Immortal Romance after that little episode Are there any Microgaming features that are similar to the Wheres the Gold feature by Aristocrat?

I've won $200 off a $1.00 bet at land based casinos quite a few times... would that even be possible at an online casino? Is this very common with the Microgaming software?

P.s. Should I stop comparing land based slots to online slots? They seem to be in two totally different categories.

 

[tinybettor]

Yep can be quite common indeed. Can't count the number of times where I've gotten successive features that pay absolute crapola.

I'm gonna head on over there now.

Seriously though $15.00 on a $5.40 bet is a common occurrence?

No more than land based slots. Both types of slots are just computer softwares that are run by a Random Number Generator with a preset RTP.

You have to start reading up on things
It's more common than huge winnings, but you'll never know when it happens.

Here is a link to my highest win. You can imagine what it would have been if I had been betting $5.40 instead of $0.90

Exactly why i like betting higher lol, trying to catch something i'll actually want to withdrawal

I still seriously think that a win that small though is crazy bad though.

Well I've never played "Where's the Gold" - so I have no idea what the feature on that actually does.

Here's an MG suggestion for you though: Tomb Raider - Secret of the Sword
It has more different features than you can shake a stick at!
1. Supa-Mode - randomly awarded (usually super crap, it must be said)
2. Rolling Reels Free-Spins (Like on IR & TR2 - only without changing the reel-strips)
3. Global Adventure Bonus, which includes all of these things:
3a. Pick a win
3b. Win all
3c. All wins x2
3d. Shoot the discs for $
3e. Collect the Sword pieces
3f. Shoot-out with Amanda for an extra life (Not skill-based, unfortunately)
3g. Extra Bonus for collecting all 5 pieces of the Sword.

Despite all that, it is still quite a low variance slot IMHO, so large-ish bets are fairly safe.

Here's one of my best wins on it:

[mrmark21]

Also here's a link for the Wheres the Gold bonus, basically at the beginning of the feature you choose a character (there are six) and this determines how many free games you get and how many symbols turn to wilds (you can get up to three). Then this is what happens...

I'd like to play a game similar to this one online, but can't play this exact one as I'm from Australia (you can play it at Bet 362).

ahh one of my favorite land based games Not Microgaming but a game that reminds me of Where's The Gold is Paydirt on the RTG software especially the "Strike It Lucky Feature".

I cannot think of a Microgaming game that is similar (brain is not with it atm, damn flu)

Immortal can be a money drainer but as a High Variance slot she can also throw you some sweet wins.

$3 bet if I remember correctly (may have been a $6 bet which makes it look worse )


The thing you want to hit is something decent in the "Wild Desire" feature but I say good luck to you if you manage it in all the years playing Thunderstruck II and Immortal I have never hit more than 2 wilds in those features.

Yeah, i just really wanted to win something decent, like what you did What an awesome win! can you imagine that on $5.40 errr lol!

I'm never playing that game ever again lol!

Yeah Wheres the Gold is my favorite machine. I would also love to find a game like this...



You have the choice of 30, 15, 8, or 4 free games. You get an 88X multiplier when you choose four free games. Pretty easy to get allot of money on this machine but allot of people are scared of choosing only four spins. Another game on Bet 365 but I can't play there, sucks!

I'm going to find a decent online casino to play Play Dirt, got any ideas for the Lucky 88 game?

Ah yes another favorite of mine, used to win some good cash on this at pubs and clubs and always played the 4 free spins x88. Everyone always went for the higher free spins I usually always take the lesser free spins with the higher multipliers eg. 5 free spins on "King of Asia" aka (choy sun doa) and 10 free spins on "5 Dragons".

Strike it Rich? cannot say I know that slot.

I was looking for Strike it Rich and couldn't find the online version lol! I meant Play Dirt, I want to play that game now.

Yeah I'm the same, you see people thinking they won a big amount on the higher amount of spins, when they most likely would have won a HUGE amount on the four spins. I'm the same, highest multiplier every time, if i loose it's gambling, if i win i play higher stakes... Everyone's going to loose the money playing slots sooner or later so may as well enjoy the rush

See these are the games i wish Microgaming had similar versions of. Would be awesome. I'd play all the time

 

[LaHutti]

If you're looking for big win potential this could be an option as well (They now chanced the name of it to "Hearts and Tarts".
Should warn you tho, that these are extremely rare, as it is very high variance. If you take this one on, watch your bankroll

This is something i'd try on low bets like 30 - 60c changing bets every now and then. I love stacked wild games but know they don't always love me lol

Congrats on you're big win

I thought I had a feel of it from playing in practice mode... turns out the practice version is funkified

Oh well always next time, for the other one, not Immortal Romance, wouldnt touch that again lol!

You got $10.80 for hitting the 3 scatters before the free-spins even started. Those free-spins only added $3.42...!

Try something like Glory of Rome - that's a nice low variance slot with a feature which combines free-spins with a "pick a win" - you would have to be mega-unlucky to get a < x10 win from the feature on that.
Or Gladiator which gives 100 free-spins (Don't be fooled by that though - it's still very low variance).

KK

I tried Gladiator, now that's definitely a low variance slot, my first line hit, I was like "this is sure to pay off" not so lol! I even went and checked the pay table only to find this game has absolutely no potential except for being an eyesore. I liked the free spins but with no real potential to win anything there's no rush in playing. The free games also cant be re triggered. I wouldn't mind sitting there for 200 spins and just killing time Same goes for Glory of Rome... I do think these would be good games to boost a low deposit. Wouldn't touch them if i was up though. Actually are there any low variance games that have good graphics?...

Just tried Cashanova, whoever designed these games obviously didn't have the graphics in mind lol!

I've found my kind of games on there, I seem to like the following games and any variation: Monsters in the Closet, Sugar Mama, and Gold Factory. With Gold Factory probably being my favorite and then Monsters in the Closet running closely behind, i spend the most time on these games, what kind of volatility are these?

Awesome feature on Gold Factory, that game is just worth it's weight in gold, I'd be happy to continue loosing money playing that game, it's just so fun and when you get into the reactor bonus now that's awesome, and you can win upto 32 free spins on a two times multiplier (I've gotten that).

Got the feature on Old King Cole a few times, but it took tons and tons of spins to get the first feature. That was a fun feature as the win box kept on appearing, it's always nice to think you're winning when playing the slots lol.

Id actually say gladiator os med to high. Should you climb the bomus ladder for scatters and wilds and lots of free spins.ive made some monster hits woth the scatter feature

Isn't there two Gladiator slots? One in MG that Mark is playing now, and one in Playtech that you are talking about D?
I have never played the MG one, but someone in the back of my head is saying that there is one.

Ya, if its the playtech one, it can pay quite well.
The mg one imo sucks ass, ive gotten the 100 free spins and its still paid crap

[KasinoKing]

That's awesome! How much were you betting?

About £1.50 per spin.
However, please note that on this slot (TR2) the value of the Global Bonus is determined (in some vague, undefined way) by your total average bets between getting the first passport and the last.
So you can actually vary your bets while playing it, and the bonus is NOT dependant on the cost of the spin when you actually get it.
I hope that makes sense!

[09237653]

for me 9/10 IR bonus games are 10xbet or less, thunderstruck 2 ones are better, id assume IR makes up its rtp through the much higher paying wild desires/wild storms and changed reel positioning (wilds/sarahs)

Yeah... I figured that to... until i started playing higher bets and that wild desire feature didn't come up once lol.

I'm still not quite over the shock of that terrible bonus but after having that happen I've been playing at a different casino. Everything started going south when i upped my bets, Immortal Romance wasn't the only game I played on, but the feature irritated me enough for me to make a post.

 

[The Viking]

I agree my FS wins have always been way better in TS2 then IR, but my biggest wins have been on IR,
3 times ive had 4 reels stacked on the wild desire feature, but im still to go past 2 stacked wilds on TS2

How does the passport thing work? The game say's when the passport appears in the center reel? I get it on the center reel and nothing happens? confused me to no end

 

[LaHutti]

You have to get a passport in the center of all reels, to trigger the bonus (Not at the same time).
When you get a passport on a reel, the thing on top of the reel will lite up, and when they're all lit up, you get the bonus.

God that's bad...

Well, I found out that my session on Immortal Romance at Jackpot City had a Return to Player percentage of 22%. That's the lowest percentage I've ever gotten on any game (and i should know i ask for these statistics after every session). Funny how that happens as soon as i raise my bet

Trying out a couple of different casinos. Looking to play Thunderstruck 2 next.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but.....

I dont know if its just me, but have the bonus rounds been worse than ever lately? Maybe my memory is just fading, but I remember the good old days when on a bad round you would get 10 x on a bonus round with Amber, but now it seems that a very good round is 10 x , and today i must have had at least a dozen bonuses but not one over 5 x........ or am i just imagining its getting worse?

Nothing untoward though, take a look at McGameboy's screenshots he posted yesterday. Granted he's lagging with his posts but shows the good shit still happens

Yes, saw the posts from McGameboy, and it brought back memories of the good old days........

 

[aceking123]

nope it has changed in terms of play & bonuses , i think maybe people are not playing it too much im getting the same results as you but much higher stakes & far less bonuses , if i do happen to hit a few bonuses they've all paid crap not hitting even a 30x on troy , last good bonus was at trada for around £530 odd but that was at £4,20 stake. ive opened two new accounts this weekend to play I M both with big bonuses attached this was no help either , although once i dropped the stake down from £4,80 bang i hit a £600 wild desire on £1.50 stake you could not write it how pissed off i was.

 

[pinnit2014]

Until recently I'd play this pretty much daily and the days of 'getting a Sarah Blitz' in Amber remain a memory - lots of x10 or less bonus results. I used to have a bit of optimism in going into Amber bonus on a a high stake but now i'm not surprised to see a scatter as the only win...

Did have a recent 4 reel WD - with 10, J and Q

It did help with recent wagering requirement but tbh it's been a bit cold for me over the last 6 months - 1 year.

Having said that, despite myself battering Bonanza, IR still is in the top 2/3 of my biggest 'X'

When the flash version goes and is replaced by the horrible HTML5/Mobile version I'll not play again and that'll be a sad day indeed given the amount of pickles that it go me out of in the past - and into...
