Explore the Universe in Moon Princess Stargazing

The iconic magical girl trio comes together again in Moon Princess Stargazing, the latest slot from the Play’n GO team. This time, the game takes us into outer space, as an entirely new galaxy awaits players. Will their magical powers be just as effective far from the Moon’s glow?

Find out if this game is for you by reading our review. In it, we’ll go over the visuals, gameplay, bonus features, and payouts and see how it stacks up with its rivals.

Moon Princess Stargazing Visuals & Sounds

We like the background, though the reels do cover it up slightly. You can see a large, sprawling galaxy, glowing with distant stars. Above it, three shooting stars, representing the moon princesses, can be seen zooming through space. Our heroines appear next to the reels one after the other, changing when their corresponding feature triggers. Their appearance slightly changes the colour of the backdrop, which is a nice touch.

Play’n GO adds a variety of symbol designs, all of which match the theme. Gold bells, hearts, stars, and discs are the lower-paying icons, while our three heroines are more valuable. The princess symbols also pay, even if you get a mix of different icons, which is a big plus. The Moon with a star and moon shape on top of it is the Wild and is the only outright special symbol.

While idling or spinning the reels, you’ll hear a calm, relaxing track playing in the background. Forming big wins or triggering the feature will cause the music to ramp up, with new instruments becoming more prominent. As you’d expect from a modern slot, there are plenty of sound effects that make it clear when you trigger features.

Moon Princess Stargazing Gameplay & Features

The Moon Princess Stargazing slot is played on a 5×5 grid with a ways-to-win system. Scoring a payout requires three or more matching symbols in a row, horizontally or vertically. One icon can participate in multiple winning combinations.

Cascading Reels

Every time you score a win, the participating symbols explode and disappear from the reels. If three icons disappear, a Wild appears in the center of the match. Each consecutive win increases the win multiplier by one.

Unlike in most other slots, new symbols do not appear from the top of the reels. Instead, it’s only existing icons that drop to fill the empty spot, with cascades continuing until no new winning combinations occur.

Princess Powers

There are three Princess Powers in this Play’n GO release, which trigger randomly on non-winning spins. Which power takes effect depends on the currently active princess on the screen.

• Star places two or three Wilds on the reels
• Nova creates Wilds on one diagonal line
• Astra adds 1-2 Power Wilds, which remain on the grid even after participating in wins

Constellation

Every spin, select areas in the playing area will be highlighted. Each win in a highlighted position increases the multiplier by one. Additionally, clearing all highlights will award an extra cash prize.

Resonance Meter

Whenever a princess symbol wins, it fills the Resonance Meter. The meter consists of three sections, each causing a Princess Power to play out when filled. If you clear the grid during this bonus, you activate the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins

Before the bonus begins, you choose one of the three princesses. During the feature, her signature power activates every spin, increasing your chances of winning. The multipliers do not reset during free spins, allowing them to climb up to 100x.

The meter is still in effect during this feature. Filling it adds more free spins, up to a maximum of 50.

Moon Princess Stargazing RTP and Payouts

Moon Princess Stargazing has an RTP of 96.2%, which is standard for Play’n GO slots. We like the 10,000x jackpot, though the high volatility makes it difficult to hit.
