How to play Starlight Princess, step by step
Starlight Princess plays like any pay-anywhere slot: set a stake, spin and count matching symbols across the grid. What to follow are the star multipliers that drop during the tumbles, because their values are added together and applied when the sequence ends.
- Log in to Playme8, open the slots lobby and choose Starlight Princess in the Pragmatic Play channel (Starlight Princess 1000 is a separate game).
- Set your stake per spin.
- Spin: 8 or more identical symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay out.
- Wins tumble away and new symbols drop in, giving the chance of further wins on the same spin.
- Multiplier symbols worth 2x to 500x can land in the base game and the feature round; at the end of each tumbling sequence their values are added together and applied to the total win.
- Land 4 or more scatters to start 15 feature spins.
- In the feature round, any multiplier that hits on a winning tumble is added to a total multiplier that boosts wins for the rest of the round.
Quick tip: Start with a few low-stake spins; its swings are similar to Gates of Olympus.
How the Starlight Princess features work
What sets Starlight Princess apart from the other pay-anywhere slots is that its multipliers are not held back for the feature: 2x–500x symbols can land in the base game, and in the feature round any that hit on a winning tumble build up until the round ends.
Base-game multipliers
Multiplier symbols take a random value from 2x to 500x. When a tumbling sequence ends, all of them are added and applied to that total win.
Pay-anywhere tumbles
Winning groups vanish, new symbols drop and more wins can follow on the same spin.
Total multiplier in the feature
During the 15 feature spins, multipliers that hit on a winning tumble are added to a total multiplier that boosts wins for the rest of the round.
Who is Starlight Princess for? Pros and cons
Starlight Princess suits players who like the Gates of Olympus system but want a brighter anime theme, and anyone who wants to see multipliers in the base game. It is not for players who want steady results, because big wins depend on multipliers that do not land every spin.
Pros
- Multipliers appear in the base game and the feature, so you are not waiting for the feature alone.
- Several multipliers in one sequence are added together, which makes wins easy to work out.
- The 96.50% RTP is published on the provider's game page.
Cons
- Multiplier values are random between 2x and 500x, so sometimes they add very little.
- A multiplier only counts if the sequence also contains a win.
- The provider does not state volatility, so test the rhythm with a low stake.
Common misconceptions about Starlight Princess
Two misconceptions come up most with Starlight Princess: that multipliers only appear in the feature, and that several multipliers multiply each other. According to Pragmatic Play, they land in both phases and are combined by adding.
“You have to reach the feature round to get multipliers”
The facts: Pragmatic Play says multiplier symbols land in both the base game and the feature, unlike Sweet Bonanza, whose bombs only appear in the feature.
“A 20x star and a 25x star together make 500x”
The facts: When the sequence ends, the values are added: 20 + 25 gives 45x, not 20 × 25.
“The cute theme means it pays more easily than Gates of Olympus”
The facts: A theme does not change a game's maths. Both games list a 96.50% RTP on the provider's pages and use the same pay-anywhere tumbling system.
Games like Starlight Princess at Playme8
The game most like Starlight Princess is Gates of Olympus, the same system with a mythology theme. For a different take on multipliers, Sweet Bonanza saves its bombs for the feature, and Mahjong Ways 2 uses a meter that climbs with every cascade.
