Starlight Princess 1000 slot

Starlight Princess 1000 slot in brief

Pragmatic Play, the Gibraltar-based studio founded in 2015, released Starlight Princess 1000 in October 2023. It keeps the structure of the earlier Starlight Princess and raises two ceilings: multiplier symbols now reach 1,000x and the maximum win rises to 15,000× your stake.

The game has no paylines. Any eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the six-reel, five-row grid form a win, and winning symbols drop away so new ones can fall in. Pragmatic rates the volatility at five out of five on its in-game scale, the top of that scale.

How the features work in Starlight Princess 1000

Pays anywhere and tumbles

After each spin the game counts matching symbols across the whole grid. Eight or more of the same symbol pay, wherever they sit. The winning symbols are then removed, the remaining ones drop, and new symbols fill the gaps. If that creates another group of eight or more, it pays too, and the tumbling repeats until no new win forms.

Multiplier symbols

Multiplier symbols carry values from 2x up to 1,000x. When more than one lands during a winning sequence, their values are added together, not multiplied, and the combined figure is applied to the win.

A worked example makes this clear. Suppose a tumble sequence pays £1.50 and a 5x and a 10x multiplier land with it. The multipliers add to 15x, so the win becomes £1.50 × 15 = £22.50.

Free spins and the running total

Four or more scatter symbols trigger 15 free spins. In this round, multipliers don’t reset after each spin. Instead they build a running total multiplier across the whole round, so a large figure can grow as the spins go on. Landing three or more scatters during the feature adds five extra spins.

The exact moment the running total is applied to a win is set out in the help screen of the version you open, so check it there rather than relying on a summary.

Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players. In a UK app you reach free spins only by landing the scatters during normal play.

Starlight Princess 1000 vs the original Starlight Princess

The 1000 edition is a remake rather than a sequel. The grid, the pays-anywhere rule and the general flow are the same; the difference is how high the numbers can go.

With the same RTP and a three-times-higher cap, more of the game’s return has to come from rare, very large results. In practice that usually means more spins that return little. If you prefer the gentler version of the same idea, the original is the one to try.

Starlight Princess 1000 RTP and a £20 budget

At 96.50% RTP, the house edge is 3.50%. That makes the expected cost of £20 of stakes about 70p, whatever your stake. The table shows how that £20 behaves at three stakes and the average cost of 500 spins, a long session on a phone.

On the top-rated volatility setting, those averages hide very wide swings. Twenty spins at £1 is a tiny sample: you might reach the free spins or you might not land a single sizeable win. At 10p, £20 lasts long enough to give the game a fair chance to show its pattern.

If your app uses a lower RTP version, the house edge goes up. Because lower versions may be in use, follow the steps below before you play.

1. Open Starlight Princess 1000 in your casino app.
2. Tap the menu or information icon beside the spin button.
3. Scroll the game rules until you reach the theoretical RTP figure.
4. Compare it with 96.50%; if it’s lower, every £100 staked costs more on average.
5. If you want a higher figure, look for the same game at another licensed app, or see our high-RTP casino apps list.

Playing the Starlight Princess 1000 slot on a phone

A 6×5 grid holds 30 symbols, and pays-anywhere games ask you to spot clusters rather than lines. On a phone screen that is easier when symbols are large, so try the game in both orientations to see which suits your device. Pragmatic doesn’t publish a fixed orientation for this title.

Tumbles mean a single paid spin can run for a while as symbols drop and re-drop. That is normal, not lag. If your connection drops during a sequence, the operator must handle the interrupted game under the Commission’s rules; our guide to what happens if you lose signal during a spin explains what to expect.

Like other online slots, the game runs inside a casino app or browser rather than as a separate download. For the app itself, compare install size and iOS version in our best casino apps for iPhone list.

UK rules for Starlight Princess 1000 in apps

The Gambling Commission’s slot rules apply to this game in every UK app, and they shape how it plays.

• Stake caps: £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over, and £2 for 18–24-year-olds, as set out on our slot stake limits page.
• Speed: a spin can’t finish in under 2.5 seconds, and turbo and slam-stop are off the table.
• No autoplay: you tap to start every single spin.
• No feature buys: feature buy-ins have not been offered to British players since the Commission’s January 2020 warning.
• Honest celebrations: a return equal to or below your stake can’t be dressed up as a win.

The rules on game design sit in the Commission’s responsible product design standard (opens in a new tab), and the age-based limits are in its online slots stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab). At the £5 ceiling, 15,000× would be £75,000; at 10p it is £1,500.

Starlight Princess 1000 and other Pragmatic 1000 slots

Pragmatic has given several of its pays-anywhere hits the same 1000 treatment.

This game and Gates of Olympus 1000 share the same cap and headline RTP, so the choice between them is mostly about theme. You can read more on the studio at the Pragmatic Play website (opens in a new tab), or browse all our reviews from the slots hub.

Is Starlight Princess 1000 worth playing?

For players who already enjoy pays-anywhere tumbling slots, this is a clear, well-documented example with a competitive headline RTP. For anyone on a small budget, the top-of-scale volatility is a real drawback.
