Eternal Loveby RealTime Gaming

I’ve always been a big fan of goth girls. Something about black hair and pale white skin that just does it for me. Perhaps that’s why I enjoyed playing Eternal Love from Real Time Gaming.

This goth inspired slot is dark and sinister with a spooky backdrop and heavy metal music that accompanies any winning spin. The graphics are superb and very detailed. The setting is in a graveyard with subtle hints of a vampire’s lair.

Yes, there are vampires in this slot. Two of the main characters just happen to be bloodsucking creatures. But while the vampire theme may seem played out and stale, Eternal Love brings these undead creatures back to like in art like fashion.

Eternal Love Rules

Eternal Love is set on 5 reels with an “Any Way Pays” format. There are no standard pay lines in this slot. Instead, it uses a method that makes winning combinations any time there are 3 or more of the same symbols going from left to right.

Game controls include the standard auto play that takes customization to another level. Rather than simply being able to play X amount of games on auto pilot. You can also set parameters to set a stop loss limit. Stop the game when you have reached a bonus feature. Even stop after a specific win is reached. These features, along with a few more, allow for complete control of the game.

Another cool feature is the speed option. You will see 3 candles in the bottom left corner. Each candle represents a speed. When all 3 are lit up, the reels will stop almost instantly when you spin them. At its lowest setting, the game plays at a normal speed, building anticipation.

Betting is pretty straight forward since there are no physical pay lines. You can wager between $0.30, up to $150 per spin. There’s plenty of in between bet amounts that will suit a wide range of bankrolls.

The maximum win cannot exceed 2,000x your bet amount.

Eternal Love Symbols

The graveyard setting flows through to the generic 9 through Ace symbols. These will all be tombstones with their respective numbers on them. All of these will require 3 or more to make a win.

There’s also red and blue pieces of jewelry that start the theme based symbols off. They only pay out a maximum of 125x your bet which is only slightly higher than the 9 through Ace.

It’s not until you meet the 3 main characters that you start to see bigger payouts. These characters are 2 vampires and a very innocent looking girl. The girl pays out the most when you get 5 in a row.

All of the theme based symbols only need 2 in a row to make a winning spin.

The wild symbol is the Eternal Love logo. This is a grouped wild that shows up in pairs usually, and can multiply a win by 1x, 2x, or 3x. This symbol will only appear on reels 2 and 4.

An old coin is the scatter and will trigger the bonus round when you get 3 or more.

Free Spins

Free spins are awarded when 3 or more scatters appear anywhere on the reels. You get 10 free spins with a special, unique feature called the Life Force Meter. This is a meter shown in the top right that will hide a win amount of up to 100x your bet amount. After the free spins are over the Life Force meter reveals a random value.

Extended Life

If the amount you have won during free spins is higher than the amount in the meter, the bonus round is over and you collect your winnings.

If your win does not exceed the Life Force amount, you win additional free spins until it does. The Life Force meter can keep going up during these extra spins as well. It will increase between 1x, and 10x your bet amount after each additional free spin. The maximum it will reach is 1,000x your bet amount.

A Fresh Bite for an Old Genre

Eternal Love was refreshingly, a good play. I was hesitant to play yet another vampire based slot; but, Eternal Love shows off its talents in more ways than one. The Any Way Pays feature is just one of those. The addition of a unique feature in the free spins bonus was further proof that they weren’t just trying to spin off another cheap vampire slot.
