Immortal Romance slots: A 14-year love affair with vampires and wildly volatile maths
When Immortal Romance hit Microgaming casinos in 2011 it rewrote the rulebook: a soap-opera plot (hot on the heels of Twilight), four branching free-spin paths and a soundtrack that still pops up in Twitch playlists. Ten billion recorded spins later, Stormcraft Studios doubled down with Immortal Romance II (2023).
The follow-up upped the ways to win to 3, 125, added community progressives and smashed opening-week records at many top online casinos worldwide.
Now, two years of hush-hush development later, the trilogy is set to close with Immortal Romance: Vein of Gold™ – global release 24 June 2025. We’ve had the pre-launch demo for a week, and it may be the rare finale that feels fresh without killing what made the saga iconic.

What’s new under the coffin lid?
Vein of Gold™ Cash Collect
Gold-plated coins worth up to 20 × bet sprinkle the reels. A blood-drop Collect on reel 1 or 6 hoovers every coin on screen. Hit Collects on both edges with no cash present and you get a forced respin that can’t fail to pay. In 200 test spins this feature triggered every 41 spins on average, frequently topping up the base game bankroll.
RisingRewards™ Personal Jackpots
Each collected coin slides into a persistent pot that follows you between sessions. Every 40–60 coins nudge one of three fixed jackpots (0.2×, 0.5×, 1× bet) and crank a Bonus Multiplier that caps at 5×. It’s a clever hybrid—progressive enough to feel “live”, but private, so whales can’t clear the community bar before casuals log in.
Choice Bonus
Three Blood-Vial Scatters unlock a pick screen: 12 Free Spins with stacked premiums + Multiplier Wilds or 3 Vein of Gold Super Spins with guaranteed cash collects and unlimited retriggers. In the demo the super-spin path returned the headline 5 500 × win (0.04 % hit rate), but the 12-spin option produced steadier 60–150 × hits.
New Immortal Romance Demo highlights – spin diary
After 2 000 demo spins, Vein of Gold lands between the original’s methodical build-up and IR II’s streamer-bait explosiveness: base-game dribbles of 4–15 × via cash collects, punctuated by 250–500 × spikes when a 5× RisingRewards multiplier aligns with a 15 × coin.
- Spin #17: First Cash Collect:
4 ×, 2 ×, 1 × coins = 7 × total.
- Spin #181:
Double-edge Collect with empty reels → respin drops a single 20 × coin → instant 20×.
- Bonus #4 (Vein path):
3 super spins produced £142 on 20p stake (710 ×) thanks to a 3× global multiplier and three 10 × coins.
- Bonus #9 (Free-spin path):
12 spins, stacked Sarah symbols, 2× wilds: £31.60 on 20p (158×). - Session win:
1,852 × over 2,000 spins; bankroll peaked at +£246 on 20p stake. Variance feels lower than the 12,000 × potential of the original, but base-game ROI is healthier.
Will it eclipse Immortal Romance II?
- Mathematics:
Lower max win (5,500 × vs 15,000 ×) but far higher hit frequency; casuals will get visible wins every few minutes instead of bonus-hunt dry spells.
- Theme continuity:
The OG quartet return with new voice work; soundtrack remixes lean heavier on orchestral swells—less synth, more drama.
- Commercial hooks:
Feature-buy for non-UK markets and personal jackpots should keep streamers pumping content months after launch.
Play It Safe Verdict: Immortal Romance Vein of Gold
For pure adrenaline, Immortal Romance II’s Wild Desire full-screen wilds still reign. But Vein of Gold is the more playable sequel—friendlier bankroll curve, sticky progression, and genuine choose-your-bonus strategy. We expect it to overtake Immortal Romance II’s long-term lobby share once the initial max-win hunters move on.
