Starlight Princess Slot Review

Starlight Princess Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The game engine used in the Starlight Princess slot is a little unusual. The action plays out on a 6 reel, 5 row, Cluster Pays machine. To create a winning combination, you need to land 8 or more of the same symbol anywhere on the reels. They don’t have to be in paylines or on adjacent reels. Anywhere on the game grid will do.

You can play at bet levels of between 20p and £125 per spin. Use the + and – buttons next to the spin button to adjust your stake size. In some countries, there are Turbo Mode and Autoplay functions.

The Starlight Princess RTP is 96.5% which is better than average. The theme might not scream high variance but that’s just what this is. On a scale of 1 to 5, I’d put the volatility at the maximum 5 so tread carefully. The maximum win here is 5,000 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – princess has a hint of Manga  

With a Manga theme, there’s a bright, colourful feel to the design in the Starlight Princess slot. Set against a backdrop of billowing white clouds and the turrets of a mysterious castle, you’ll see the manga-style Starlight Princess floating alongside the reels.

The soundtrack has a high tempo, techno energy that doesn’t immediately seem to fit the magical theme. You can adjust the volume here easily enough though, so it won’t become too grating. Overall, the simple design here works pretty well.

The reels are made up of 5 gemstone symbols which appear alongside icons brandishing star, moon, heart and sun motifs. The best paying symbol is the sun which pays 50 x your total stake if you land 12 or more of them on the same spin. There aren’t any wilds here. The Starlight Princess is the scatter. Landing 4 or more of these activates the free spins.

Starlight Princess has been optimised for play on all devices including desktop, tablet and mobile devices. The simple but colourful design is nicely done on the smaller screen and everything is nice and easy to follow.

Starlight Princess Bonus Features

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

Tumble feature

Each time a winner is formed, the Tumble feature follows. The successful symbols are blasted off the grid and new symbols drop in and replace them. A new payout consideration then follows. These tumbles keep on coming as long as a new winner is formed.

Heart Multiplier feature

On any spin, you could see a special multiplier symbol (a heart with wings attached) appear. There are 4 of these: green, blue, pink and gold. As their name suggests, these special symbols come with multipliers attached. Each heart can deliver a boost of between 2x and 500x. This is known as the Heart Multiplier feature.

After a series of tumbles has been completed, the multiplier is applied to your total win. Better still when you land more than 1 heart multiplier during the same set of tumbles as the value of the multipliers is added together to deliver an even bigger payout boost.

Free Spins feature

Trigger the Free Spins feature by landing 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols anywhere on the game grid on the same spin or set of tumbles. You’ll then receive a payout equal to 3, 5 or 100 x your total stake before going on to play 15 free spins.

Just like in the base game, multipliers are the key to success. Land a multiplier on a free spin that results in a winner and that amount is added to the Total Multiplier. Each new multiplier adds to the Total Multiplier amount which is applied to your win from that free spin. Think of it as an increasing multiplier whose value increases each time you land a multiplier symbol.

Land 3 or more scatter on any free spins results in a retrigger and 5 more free spins are added to your total. You can win unlimited extra free spins.

In some territories (but not the UK), players can buy the Free Spins feature for a fee equal to 100 x stake. This option isn’t available if you have the Ante Bet activated. This is known as the Buy Free Spins feature.

Ante Bet feature

Each spin in Starlight Princess normally sets you back 20 coins. Increase that to 25 and you can activate the Ante Bet feature. For example, a £1 per spin stake would rise to £1.25 per spin with the ante in play. In return for that extra investment, you’ll double your chances of triggering the free spins.

Starlight Princess Review Summary – clone of Gates of Olympus

The gameplay in the Starlight Princess slot might be familiar. This is because this game is identical to Gates of Olympus in terms of gameplay. It’s a fairly straightforward Cluster Pays slot with multipliers and free spins.

The key to success is the multiplier symbol. These can deliver some big boosts and can increase throughout the Free Spins feature. Highly volatile, the max win of 5,000 x stake per spin is decent but offered in countless other slots.

I would only recommend Starlight Princess if you’re a fan of the Manga/Japanese theme. That aside, it’s just another slot with offers nothing unique or appealing. I suggest you try Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza which comes with 21,175 x stake max wins.
