Theme and Storyline

Starlight Princess has an anime theme reminiscent of the ‘90s series Sailor Moon.

Players will find themselves in a celestial world of fantasy ruled by a powerful princess. Fluttering on angelic wings, she’s ready to guide players on a mythical quest for gems.

This slot is a great fit for lovers of Japanese anime, as well as fans of jewel-themed slots. The ethereal atmosphere offers a fun escape from reality.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack brings to mind retro sci-fi and classic anime shows. The digitally-infused notes add tension and players will feel ready for a dramatic climax.

The reels are filled with adorable gems from rubies to sapphires to emeralds. Each one is framed in gold and some have golden stamps of hearts or stars.

Beside the reels, the Starlight Princess hovers, her delicate wings glowing softly. She wears a cut yet glamorous outfit complete with whimsically mismatched tights. Her long red hair flows nearly to her knees. She seems every bit a classic anime dream girl.

The game’s heroine definitely brings to mind the iconic star of Sailor Moon, but she’s also original enough to feel like a new discovery.

Beyond the gold-framed reels, players will see a dreamy sky-scape with twinkling stars and a majestic moon. Fluffy white clouds catch pink and blue light, and in the distance are towers of a castle.

Overall, the music and graphics construct a magical anime world.

Gameplay

Starlight Princess is a reskin of the popular Gates of Olympus game — a six reel, five row slot from the same publisher.

Players are awarded wins for landing given numbers of matching symbols anywhere on the reels. The total number of matching symbols that land can increase the prize awarded.

The Cascade feature means that symbols that are part of winning combinations vanish. Their positions are then filled by new symbols falling down from above.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Scatter symbol can appear on any reel and pays in no matter where it lands.

There are a variety of Multiplier symbols that land at random during the base game and Free Spins feature. When the Multiplier symbols land, they reveal a randomised value between x2 and x500.

During cascade sequences, players accumulate Multiplier symbols which are combined, then applied to their total win at the conclusion of the sequence.

When players land 4 or more Scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature is triggered, starting with 15 free spins. Players can gain 5 additional free spins when they land 3 or more Scatter symbols during the feature.

If they wish, players may increase the bet multiplier by 25%, to x25 per win line. If they opt into this feature, the chance of landing Scatter symbol is doubled.
