Starlight Princess Review
Starlight Princess is Gates of Olympus with an anime look. Instead of Zeus there's a princess with wings and a star wand, but the grid, the multipliers up to 500× and the free spins work the same way.
About the game
We compared the game data of Starlight Princess and Gates of Olympus, and they match: the same payouts, the same multiplier values, 15 free spins, 96.50% RTP and a 5,000× max win. So which one you play is really about which look you like more.
You win with 8 or more of the same symbol anywhere on a 6×5 grid. Winning symbols disappear and new ones fall in, and multipliers can drop on any spin.
Starlight Princess Features
Tumbles
After every win the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall from above. If that makes another win, it happens again. The whole chain is paid at the end.
Multipliers
Multiplier symbols can land on any spin and are worth 2× to 500×. When the tumbles stop, they're added together and the win is multiplied by the total. If there's no win, they don't do anything.
Free spins
4 or more princess scatters give you 15 free spins. The scatter also pays 3× your bet for 4, 5× for 5 and 100× for 6. 3 more scatters in the round add 5 spins.
In free spins the multiplier keeps growing. Every multiplier that lands on a winning spin is added to a total that stays until the end of the round.
Double Chance and Buy Free Spins
Double Chance to Win costs 25% more per spin and doubles your chance of free spins. Buy Free Spins takes you to the bonus for 100× your bet. You can't use both at once.
Graphics
The grid floats above the clouds, with a big moon in the sky. The princess stands on the right with long red hair, wings and a white dress, and a small winged pet sits on the left. The high symbols are a sun, a heart, a moon and a star, and the low ones are gems.
How to play
Set your bet (from 0.20 in the demo) and spin. You need 8 matching symbols anywhere for a win. 4 scatters start the free spins, or you can buy them.
Symbols and payouts
The sun pays the most: 50× your bet for 12 or more. Here is the pay table from the game:
| Symbol | 8–9 | 10–11 | 12+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | 10× | 25× | 50× |
| Heart | 2.5× | 10× | 25× |
| Moon | 2× | 5× | 15× |

RTP, volatility and max win
RTP is 96.50% in the demo, also with Double Chance and the buy. The max win is 5,000× your bet, which Pragmatic Play says happens about once in 697,000 rounds.
Like in Gates of Olympus, the rules say high volatility while the start screen shows medium. The payouts point to high.
Other versions
Starlight Princess 1000 raises multipliers to 1,000× and the max win to 15,000×. If you prefer a Greek theme, Gates of Olympus is the same game.
