Moon Princess

Watching the rising popularity of anime in the West has been a fascinating phenomenon. It’s the perfect illustration of just how globally connected the world has become.

Despite that, we can’t say we would have ever seen this slot coming! Play’n Go borrows the famous Sailor Moon magical girl formula for their own purposes. But don’t think this game is all about pretty anime girls. It has a few spells of its own that are sure to enchant players.

Moon Princess Slot Review

This release is played on a 5 reel board, without pre-defined paylines. Instead, wins are awarded if you have three or more identical symbols in adjacent positions, either horizontally or vertically, in any direction. The background changes depending which Moon Princess is currently active on the reels. Not that any of the backgrounds are particularly detailed. The change adds a bit of flavor, but it’s nothing that’ll blow your mind.

Icon designs are something we’re not too sure about. These aren’t bad by any stretch of the imagination. Every symbol is uniquely designed for this slot, and the human characters are all visually distinct. But because of the layout and cascading reels mechanics active, none of the icons are animated! The budget for that seems to have gone into the floating magical girls who sit on the side of the reel, and strike poses as they activate bonuses using their powers!

Let’s talk special features. As we already mentioned, there’s a cascading reels mechanic present. After each win, symbols will disappear, and fall down. New icons will not appear to take their place, however. A three-of-a-kind Win will create a Wild in the middle, which can then create more wins. On any non-winning spin, your currently active princess can cast a spell to help you. After each consecutive win, your multiplier increases, and resets back to one when the round ends.

How to Play Moon Princess

You play this release on a 5×5 board. The special features we mentioned earlier play a big role in keeping Moon Princess fun. But there are even more bonuses waiting for you to use them! Punters can wager between $0.20 and $100 on each spin. This is a great betting spread, which will appeal to both high rollers and casual players.

Bonus Features

Let’s take a more detailed look into the powers of these magical girls, shall we?

• Girl Power:

As we mentioned earlier, every non-winning spin has a random chance of activating Girl Power. What effect you get depends on which princess is active during that round. Love transforms all symbols of one set into another. Star can create up to two Wilds. And Storm destroys two sets of any icon. After a princess casts her spell, she is then replaced by another in a set order. First Love, then Star, then Storm.

• Princess Trinity Free Spins:

When the meter in the bottom left is fully filled, you unlock free spins. You can choose three options here: less risk and more free spins, or higher risk with less free spins. Using this, you can control your volatility, which we quite like. During free spins, the progressive multiplier does not reset in between rounds. This makes it much easier to reach the 20x multiplier maximum!
