The Sand Princess

Exotic desert escapes and Arabian nights are a common backdrop for online slots games. There is something in the element of the mystique that makes this appeal as a game setting, complete with thematic symbols, imagery and sound effects that instantly transport the gamer to some far off land. The Sand Princess slot from 2by2 Gaming achieves this goal from the get-go, presenting stylish graphics and animations against an Arabian desert backdrop.

Players are tasked with lining up matching symbols, with a palace, an eagle, a potion bottle, a chest and a bearded prince finding their way onto the reels. There are also high card symbols, styled in an Arabian font, to complete the reel positions, accounting for the lower value end of the combinations on the paytable.

There are five reels on the board, standing three positions high – very much the standard form for modern slots games. While the graphics are basic, the 30 paylines across the board ensure there’s no shortage of action. There are even several bonus features, which we’ll come to discuss in more detail in a moment.

Any slots game is only as good as its betting options, and The Sand Princess has a broad range to suit any budget. The minimum bet per payline is £0.01, up to £1.00 per line – in other words, you can bet anywhere from £0.30 to £30.00 per spin. This isn’t the biggest upper limit, and some slots will definitely let you play with more, but it’s a quick spinner, so it’s still possible to play more aggressively if that’s what you’re aiming for.

The jackpot isn’t particularly high, standing at just 16x, but that’s still a nice win if you land it on maximum bets. The return to player percentage of 96.05% is more than clear on the industry average of 95%, so it’s fair to describe The Sand Princess as a high paying slots title.

Some of the most lucrative wins are to be found in the game’s bonus features, including its multi-dimensional free spins feature. There’s also a wild symbol and a stacked wild to help you on your travels.

Feature Symbols

The Sand Princess is the game’s most common feature symbol. She appears in one of two forms: as a single reel position, or stacked. She can appear on any of the reels at any time, but will only fall stacked on the central reel, reel 3. Whichever form she appears in, she contributes in the usual way, subbing for any combination symbols you’re missing to deliver the best possible combination wins on each spin – so it’s not hard to see how it can be helpful. The only exception is the scatter symbol – you won’t substitute that with a wild, but everything else is fair game.

The scatter symbol is the sands of time, which also has the word ‘BONUS’ written across it. Three of these on the internal reels 2, 3 and 4 will translate into the free spins bonus round, the game’s main bonus feature.

Bonuses & Jackpots

Players pick up a bonus every time they land a stacked wild on the central reel – when this falls, it brings one of a total possible four different features to your game. The first is a multiplier, with up to 4x available, or you might win a random prize in the form of an instant cash award. In some cases, you’ll get some extra random wilds, while in others, it might be an entirely wild reel. Not bad for an additional bonus.

Three of the sands of time symbols will trigger the free spins bonus, where you get your pick of one of four different features. The first is a random multiplier, with 10 free spins. Second is 10 free spins with one or more wild reels, while third is 10 free spins with some additional random wilds. Finally, there’s 10 free spins with any one of the previous features active on each spin.

Together, these two bonuses give a more unique feel to the action in The Sand Princess, which is a major part of its lasting appeal.
