So you only thought sequels existed in the movies? This isn’t the case, because you’ll also see the best online slot games often spawn sequels of their own, and today, at our casino site, we’re letting you all players in on another follow-up title to hit the scene. Moon Princess 100 welcomes back some anime royalty in a beefed up version of the original. You’ll find cluster pays as well as cascading reels, also known as avalanche reels. The maximum win has also been increased to a cracking 15,000x your stake! Did we mention there’s also a free spins feature that can boost winning chances? Let’s take a closer look.
In terms of iGaming providers, the studio that created Moon Princess 100 is quite a big one, being Play’n Go. The stable has given us some really entertaining titles lately, including Raging Rex 2 (another sequel) as well as the comical Fat Frankies. Just like with the original Moon Princess, we follow three princesses as they go about enchanting the five reels into bestowing cash wins upon you. If you're a fan of anime movies, then you might feel this slot took a little too much inspiration from one of the genre's more popular movies, although we don't hold it against them. Cascading reels are here to help you out, so wins will trigger 'respins' which could also possibly result in wins. There are also Cluster Pays, so wins don't come about thanks to paylines, but rather by symbols falling in clusters.
Unlike the first Moon Princess, which only paid out a maximum of 5,000x your bet, Moon Princess 100 goes all the way up to 15,000x your stake, which is a big improvement. However, there are online slots out there going as high as 50,000x, so even though it’s more, it could be better. Play’n Go has lowered the maximum stake limit to 60 per wager, while the minimum you'll be able to bet is 0.20. There are still relatively high levels of volatility, and you can play on any mobile device, providing it uses iOS or Android.
Unlike in movie sequels, where new characters are introduced, and storylines take a twist, it isn't always the case with online casino games, especially slots online. You'll see that all the symbols are exactly the same from the original, with no new characters. The lower paying symbols are a selection of icons, including a circle, a star, a heart and a bell. The higher paying icons are the three princesses, Storm, Star and Love. You can also land them all in the same symbol.
There’s a wild symbol in Moon Princess 100 that is represented by the moon. This symbol acts like all the regular symbols in order to help create winning clusters. For example, if you had a few stars in a cluster and one more star was needed to make a win, should a wild land where that star was required, you'll have a win.
There's a meter that lies to the left of the reels, and you'll see that it charges to possibly become fully charged. The trigger that charges it is any winning combinations involving the three princesses. Once you've fully charged the meter, you'll have triggered free spins. You can add more spins by fully charging the meter once again, with a possible 100 free spins being made possible.
There are also randomly triggered reel modifiers that happen at any time. One of the princesses will work her magic to modify the reels, like adding wilds, removing lower value icons or making different icons the same.
We wouldn’t say Moon Princess 100 is the most astounding of sequels to original online slot machines we've ever seen. While there are the random reel modifiers, plus cluster pays and cascading reels, there isn't that extra bonus feature to accompany the free spins, to be one of those casino games that really deliver added value. Regardless, there are still winning opportunities, and the higher variance means wins come with excellent returns.
