For 2023, Microgaming has Immortal Romance 2, the sequel to Immortal Romance, and other slots coming up. Alongside Mega Moolah, the provider has produced some of the best slots, and in 2023 we could see some new titles.

Progressive jackpot slots can be fun to play. Even though the RTP is average, they can potentially pay out big rewards. And this is why, the progressive slots are still popular.
