Gameplay

Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay. Winners vanish, new symbols drop in, and the tumbles run until nothing connects. The sun pays 50x your bet for 12 or more, the heart 25x and the moon 15x. Five gem colours fill the bottom of the paytable.

The Starlight Princess base game: a 6×5 grid where 8 or more matching symbols pay anywhere.

Winged hearts are the multipliers, worth 2x to 500x. They wait for the tumbles to finish. Then every multiplier on screen adds together and applies to the total win from that sequence.

The princess is the Scatter. Four or more across one tumble sequence start 15 free spins and pay up to 100x for six. There’s no Wild.

How Starlight Princess multipliers work in free spins

In the base game, a multiplier only counts for its own spin. In free spins, every multiplier on a winning tumble joins a running total that stays for the rest of the round. Land a 10x early any future multipliers will stack. Three more Scatters add five spins and carry the total forward.

Build the multiplier early and the round snowballs, but keep in mind at high volatility most rounds end small.

Starlight Princess vs Starlight Princess 1000

Starlight Princess 1000 landed in October 2023 with the same grid, symbols and features. Only the top end changed.

Multipliers reach 1,000x instead of 500x, and the max win jumps from 5,000x to 15,000x. The bet range and the 100x buy stay the same.

The original is the classic, and the 1000 is the one with triple the ceiling.

Final verdict

Every reviewer lands in the same place: this is Gates of Olympus in a magical-girl costume. The grid, the 2x to 500x multipliers, the 15 free spins, the 100x buy and the 5,000x cap are all the same. Nothing is new and nothing is broken, and that free spins multiplier is still one of the sharpest engines around.

Pick it for the anime art, or for a change of scenery from Gates. If the theme means nothing to you, you’ve already played this game.
