Magic Princess is one of those slot titles in which the lowest-value symbol and high-value symbols all start paying prizes for two matches or better, and it is also one of the rare Novomatic slots with just 9 pay lines. Players can bet up to 500 coins per line and although they can adjust the number of pay lines, playing all 9 gives them access to the biggest prizes. So if 4,500 coins per spin is a bit steep, it makes more sense to keep all 9 lines engaged and lower the bet per line, which can be as little as 2 coins, or 18 per spin.
There is no real storyline, but Magic Princess revolves around a princess in her castle, along with her pets and her magical artefacts. The design has five beige reels against a plain purple background, the colour of royalty, with the Magic Princess logo above the reels, the game controls below, and the pay lines numbered simply down the sides.
Poker Symbols, Magic and Royalty
The six popular poker symbols feature as Magic Princess slot low-value icons, with the 9 winning 2 coins for two of a kind. For better matches, the 9 wins the same prizes as the 10, J and Q: 5, 15 or 100 coins. The K and A also win matched prizes: 10, 40 or 120 coins for three, four or five of a kind.
The princess’ magic wand and her jewel-bedecked golden crown are also symbols of equal value, with coin prizes of 15, 60 or 50 + 2SG; the SG count increases the number of free spins in bonus rounds. A fairy-tale castle is the next Magic Princess symbol, winning 20, 80 or 100 + 3SG for three, four or five matches.
The princess’ pets, a black cat and a peacock, win prizes for two matches or better: 2, 25, 120 or 100 + 4SG.
Princess is Top Value and Wild Symbol
The Magic Princess herself is the title’s top-paying symbol, also winning prizes for two matches or better. She pays 10, 50 + 2SG, 400 + 16 SG and 2,000 + 80 SG when in combos with herself on a pay line from Reel 1.
The Magic Princess is also the Wild icon, substituting for any other apart from the Scatter. Any ordinary symbol combos that include a Wild have their prize values doubled immediately. The top prizes for five-of-a-kind-matches among all the ordinary symbols also include extra SG points when the Wild is part of a win.
Crystal Ball Scatter Triggers Bonus Round
The Magic Princess Scatter is another indication of the royal lady’s mystic powers: a glowing crystal ball on a velvet cushion. It can form combos with itself in any position on the reels, and it also requires only two matches or more to win prizes. For two, three, four or five matches, it wins coin values of 40, 100, 100 + 4SG and 2,200 + 88SG.
Like scatters playing roles in many Android pokies, three or more Scatters will also activate a bonus round, consisting initially of 15 free spins, along with any SG enhancements.
