Free slot: Koi Princess

How Koi Princess works

Koi Princess is a slot machine present in online casinos. It is published since November 2015 by the online games provider NetEnt. Its theme revisits the world of Japanese manga with a young girl on the left of the grid as the main character.

It has a classic reel layout with 5 reels of 3 rows and 20 paylines. The reels are triggered to reveal various symbols. Koi Princess has a payout ratio of over 96% and can be described as a medium-volatility machine with a payout of up to 1000 times the original bet.

The different symbols of Koi Princess

11 different symbols can appear on the grid:

• the wave as WILD (pays x25 for 5 identical symbols): the highest paying symbol, it appears anywhere on the reels and replaces any other symbol except the Bonus.

• the dragon as a Bonus: it appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5 and triggers one of the bonus features.

• Koi Princess (pays x20 for 5 identical symbols).

• the lion (pays x15 for 5 identical symbols).

• the frog (pays x12.5 for 5 identical symbols).

• bound gold coins (pay x10 for 5 identical symbols).

• classic symbols A, K, Q, J and 10 (pay x5 to x8 for 5 identical symbols).

The different connections in Koi Princess

There are many connections available in Koi Princess. Indeed, there are 20 paylines, which you can see in the image below. Whether it's lines, diagonals or simple buttons, there are many ways to win. You need to line up between 3 and 5 symbols from left to right to get a win.

How Koi Princess bonuses work

During each round of play, the Bonus Bet option can be activated: the bet price is multiplied by 2, but the probability of triggering a bonus or random function is doubled.

When 3 Bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3 and 5, the Bonus feature is triggered. If two bonus symbols land on the reels and the spin results in a winning combination, then a third bonus symbol can be propelled onto the grid to trigger the bonus feature.

A wheel appears at the bottom of the screen with different bonus modes:

• Sure Win Free Spins : 10 free spins are awarded. The win on the first spin will be at least equal to the bet amount, while for the rest of the free spins, each win on each spin will be at least equal to the largest amount won on a spin. Additional free spins may be offered.

• Wild Reels Free Spins : 10 free spins are awarded. Between 1 and 5 reels will be filled with WILD on each spin.

• Bonus Wheel : A new wheel is unveiled with 3 levels of 12 sections. Cash can be won, but also Sure Win Free Spins and Wild Reels Free Spins can be triggered.

• Coin Win : a cash prize is won directly.

During the basic game, the Ramdom feature can be triggered, at random as its name suggests. Three fish will appear from the water below the grid and the player can choose one of them and discover one of the following functions:

• 5-Hit : a spin is awarded, guaranteeing a win with 5 symbols that connect.

• Random Wilds : a spin is awarded and 4 to 9 Wilds are placed on the reels at random.

• Wild Reels : a spin is awarded and 2 to 5 reels will fill with WILD.

• Bonus : a spin is awarded with 3 Bonus symbols landing on the reels. One of the Bonus Feature modes is triggered at random.

Our opinion about Koi Princess

Koi Princess is NetEnt's first venture into the land of the rising sun. If the interface seems rather old-fashioned and the animated princess a bit kitschy, the numerous features of Koi Princess are worth the diversions alone, whether in the base game or in the bonus game. Even if the winning potential is not very high for a machine with average volatility, its operation should please both beginners and experienced players.
