Starlight Princess

There's no denying that the world of anime is huge with a growing fanbase that is constantly growing, so it's no surprise as to why many developers have begun to combine anime with online slots. After the success of Play'n GO's Moon Princess, Pragmatic Play has been naturally inspired by this and decided to create their own original anime-slot series.

Playing on a grid of 6x5, Starlight Princess is an anime-fairytale slot that uses a Cluster Pays mechanic that matches up symbols of 8 instead of traditional paylines. Throughout this slot, you'll find multipliers and free spins leading to interstellar wins!

Design

Starlight Princess is set in the clouds and close to the stars with a royal kingdom in view just underneath. The tone of the slot features bright, pastel colours that are soft and not too overbearing on the eyes. Around the reels, you'll notice various clouds moving across the screen with shooting stars in the distance adding an extra level of detail.

To the right of the reels, you'll see the titular character of Starlight Princess who is designed in an anime style of artwork. She has vibrant red hair mixed with a lolita style outfit giving off a cute style. Throughout free spins, the screen takes you to the stars with various beautiful constellations combined with a cute adorable sidekick to the left of the reels to cheer you on.

As for the music, it's soft trance music that builds up the atmosphere whilst you are in the base game and isn't too annoying. During free spins, the music becomes J-Pop inspired with a more upbeat track to get you excited for the potential wins.

Gameplay

This slot plays on a grid of 6x5 whilst using a Cluster Pays slot to match symbols instead of the traditional payline system - so anyone can literally pick up this game.

Like most titles from Pragmatic Play, the spin button is to the right of the screen with a trademark crown on top to highlight this. To either side of the spin button, you'll find the autospin and bet level buttons. Further menus can be found to the left of the screen with the sound settings and paytable information.

Win Potential

Starlight Princess is a high volatility slot meaning that you can expect less frequent wins, so make sure you have a bankroll to sustain yourself until those big wins come. As for the RTP, it's a fantastic 96.50% which is over the average standard of 96%.

The biggest question is what is the maximum win? Sadly, it's at a measly 5,000x your stake which is low for a high volatility slot, but the maximum bet is 100.00, so high rollers can expect decent returns with it.

Our Verdict

In a nutshell, Starlight Princess is bright and thoroughly engaging leading to a slot that is well worth your time. The design is stylised after animes and looks the part, whilst the gameplay is mesmerising to watch with the Cluster Pays mechanic.

The win potential is a little disappointing with the maximum win of 5,000x your stake, but betting with higher amounts will lead to some decent wins. Throughout our gameplay, we found the free spins and multipliers to be extremely generous in delivering amazing wins. Of course, this won't be the case for everyone.

Honestly, Starlight Princess is a load of fun and will give you some amazing entertaining moments. It's a brilliant slot from Pragmatic Play, and you should definitely check it out.
