Play Starlight Princess Slot

The game engine of this slot is a bit unusual. The action takes place on a 6 reel, 5 row, Cluster Pays machine. To form a winning combination, you need to get 8 or more of the same symbol anywhere on the reels. They do not have to be on paylines or adjacent reels. Anywhere on the playing field is sufficient.

You can play with bet levels of between 20p and AUD125 per round. Use the + and – buttons next to the spin button to adjust your bet size. In some countries there are Turbo Mode and Autoplay functions.

The RTP is 96.5% which is better than average. The theme may not be crying out for high variance, but that's exactly what this is. On a scale of 1 to 5, we would put volatility at the maximum of 5, so be careful. The maximum win here is 5,000 x your total bet.

Theme

This slot machine has a manga theme and a bright and colorful design. Against a background of billowing white clouds and the turrets of a mysterious castle, you see the manga style Starlight Princess floating along the reels. The soundtrack has a fast-paced, techno energy that doesn't immediately seem to fit the magical theme. However, you can adjust the volume easily enough so that it doesn't get too annoying. Overall, the simple design works quite well here.

The reels consist of 5 gemstone symbols appearing alongside symbols with star, moon, heart and sun motifs. The highest paying symbol is the sun which pays 50 x your total stake if you get 12 or more during the same round. There are no wilds here. The Starlight Princess is the scatter. 4 or more of these will activate the free spins.

Slot is optimized for all devices including desktop, tablet and mobile devices. The simple yet colorful design is nicely made for the smaller screen and everything is nice and easy to follow.

Bonus features

With 5 bonus features, special multiplier symbols can provide the best action in Starlight Princess. They can really come into their own during the free spins feature as they increase during the round.

tumble feature

Whenever a win is formed, the Tumble feature follows. The winning symbols are shot off the grid and new symbols take their place. A new payment will then follow. These tumbles keep coming as long as a new profit is formed more.
Heart multiplier feature

During each round you can see a special multiplier symbol (a heart with wings attached) appear. There are 4 of them; green, blue, pink and gold. As their name implies, these special symbols feature multipliers. Each heart can boost between 2x and 500x. This is known as the Heart Multiplier feature.

After a series of tumbles are completed, the multiplier will be applied to your total win. It's even better if you get more than 1 heart multiplier during the same tumbling sequence, as the value of the multipliers are added together for an even bigger payout.

Free Spins

Trigger the Free Spins feature by landing 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols anywhere on the game grid on the same spin or series of tumbles. You will then receive a payout of 3, 5 or 100 x your total bet before playing 15 free spins.

Just like in the base game, multipliers are the key to success. Get a multiplier on a free spin that results in a win and that amount is added to the Total Multiplier. Each new multiplier will be added to the Total Multiplier applied to your winnings from that free spin. Think of it as an increasing multiplier whose value increases every time you get a multiplier symbol.

Land 3 or more scatters on any free spins and you will receive a retrigger which will also add 5 extra free spins to your total. You can win unlimited extra free spins.

In some areas, players can purchase the Free Spins feature for an amount equal to 100 x bet. This option is not available if you have activated the Ante Bet. This is known as the Buy Free Spins feature.
Ante Bet feature

Each round normally costs you 20 coins. Increase that to 25 and you can trigger the Ante Bet feature. For instance; a bet of AUD1 per round rises to AUD1.25 per round with the ante in play. In exchange for this extra investment, your chances to activate the free spins double.

Review

The gameplay of this slot may look familiar. This is because this game is identical in gameplay to Gates of Olympus . It's a pretty straight forward Cluster Pays slot with multipliers and free spins.

The key to success is the multiplier symbol. This can lead to big wins and can increase during the Free Spins feature. The max win of 5,000 x bet per round is highly volatile, but it is also offered in countless other slots.

However, we would only recommend Starlight Princess if you are a fan of the Manga/Japanese theme. That aside, it's just another slot with nothing unique or appealing. We suggest you try Pragmatic Play's Sweet Bonanza first, with the grand prize being 21,175x the max bet.
