How Starlight Princess works

This is the latest slot from the very popular provider Pragmatic Play. Once again with princesses on a slot with a rather different operation from what we can discover in general in 2021. The connections are quite different, just like in Gates of Olympus, don't expect connections from the left or right side of the reels. A pleasant surprise in this slot, which immediately reminds of the famous Moon Princess from Play'n GO. 

Nothing very original concerning the music and the universe of Starlight Princess, the slot machine is very close to Moon Princess on its graphics and animations. Fortunately, the technical aspect is quite different and is closer to the great classic of the provider Pragmatic Play: Gates of Olympus.

With its 6 reels and 5 lines, the symbols connect according to their number displayed on the screen, just like in Sweet Bonanza. Multipliers will be added on the spins to increase the winnings. The bonus feature will give you more chances to hit the jackpot of up to 5,000 times your original bet. A benchmark maximum win at Pragmatic Play.

The theoretical rate of return to the player (RTP) is 96.5%. The volatility is very high, 5 out of 5 on the Pragmatic Play provider's scale. Lucky7Bonus' online casino partners allow you to bet from 0.20 cents to a maximum of 100 euros. Let's take a closer look at this slot machine with its different symbols, connections and bonuses.

The different symbols in Starlight Princess

Starlight Princess slot has 10 different symbols. It should be noted immediately that there is no Wild on the slot, you will need at least 8 of the same symbols to make a connection. But there is a Scatter symbol that will give you free spins from 4 Scatters, as well as 6 times your bet and much more if you manage to get 6 Scatters on the grid.

As for the premium symbols, you can count on: the red sun, the heart with a crown, the moon with its three candles and the star in the blue frame. The winnings can vary from 12 to 50 times your bet thanks to the premium symbols when you have at least 12 of the same symbols. For the more classic symbols, they are represented by gems of different colors: red heart, blue, green, turquoise and yellow.

As in Gates of Olympus or Sweet Bonanza, hearts of different colors can arrive on the grid, they will always be accompanied by a multiplier that will increase the total win at the end of the round. The value of the multipliers can vary greatly, from x2 to x500 maximum.

The different connections in Starlight Princess

There are no real paylines in Starlight Princess slot, you will have to rely on a minimum number of the same symbol present on the grid. Fortunately, you can rely on the avalanche system present in the base game and the bonus feature. As soon as you make a connection, the symbols disappear from the grid, the other symbols fall as low as possible on their reels and new symbols appear at the top of the reels.

The player's objective is to connect as many symbols as possible and hope to get new symbols, and if possible the same ones, in order to make several connections. The whole point is to get as many connections as possible to increase the total win of the spin, but also to get hearts with a multiplier that will multiply to the total win obtained at the end of the spin.

How the Starlight Princess bonus works

Getting at least 4 Scatters unlocks 15 free spins. If you get at least 3 Scatters during your free spins, you win 5 extra free spins.

Like Gates of Olympus, the objective will be to collect multipliers that will add up to a total that is displayed on the top left of the screen. The more connections you make and the more multipliers you collect, the more money you will earn in Starlight Princess. For example, if the player makes a connection with a x2 multiplier on the grid, but already had x6 in the total multipliers. Then the total win for that spin will be multiplied by 8.

Of course, if you're lucky, it's possible to get big multipliers like x50, x100 or even x500 and accumulate them throughout your free spins. This is probably the only way to reach the jackpot of 5,000 times your original bet.

To get the free spins more easily, it is possible to activate the "Double Chance" which will cost you 25% more on your bet. From €1, you will have to bet €1.25 to increase your chances of getting multiple Scatters on your grid. It is not yet possible to buy the bonus directly, maybe this feature will come to Starlight Princess in the future.

Our opinion on Starlight Princess

Unfortunately, Starlight Princess does not impress in terms of gameplay. If you prefer the manga world rather than the Greek gods of Gates of Olympus, then this new slot from Pragmatic Play might be for you.

This is a slot that can be quite frustrating at times, but exceptional when it offers big multipliers during the free spins, accumulating many multipliers or getting a huge x500 in one go. This will be the goal for players to easily reach x5000.

Nothing original for this last slot from the provider Pragmatic Play, let's hope that they will be able to innovate even more in the coming months.
