Starlight Princess 1000: how the free-spin multiplier works
Starlight Princess 1000 pays for eight or more matching symbols anywhere on its six-reel grid, with random multipliers worth up to 1,000x. Four Princess Scatters start 15 free spins. That feature can build a multiplier across winning sequences, but it applies the saved total only when a new multiplier lands on a winning sequence.
This is the Pragmatic Play edition released on 26 October 2023. Its appeal is the combination of unrestricted symbol positions and a multiplier that can grow through a feature. Choose it for that sequence of tumbles and multiplier additions: the number in the title is the largest individual multiplier symbol, while the round ceiling is a separate 15,000x the standard stake.

Eight matches count across the whole grid
Starlight Princess 1000 has six reels and five rows, giving 30 symbol positions. Count each ordinary symbol type across the entire grid. Eight yellow gems can pay even when other symbols separate them; they do not have to touch or form a line across the reels. Seven matching ordinary symbols are below the first paying count.
The count selects one payout band: 8 to 9, 10 to 11, or 12 to 30 matches. Several ordinary symbol types can pay on the same screen, and their wins add together. Each type uses its highest applicable payout, so a count of 12 does not collect all three bands. The heart emblem is an ordinary paying symbol; the winged hearts with printed multiplier numbers perform a different job.
The game's standard stake factor is 20. This describes how its coin value and bet level form the total stake, not a set of 20 paylines. For a cash calculation, use the standard total stake shown for the spin. Ante changes what the spin costs; its extra charge does not enlarge the ordinary payout basis.
What every paying symbol is worth
All ordinary payouts below are multiples of the standard total stake, before any tumble multiplier. The Sun has the largest ordinary payout in each count band. Yellow gems have the smallest, but eight or nine still create a paying combination and continue the tumble sequence.

Hypothetical payout example: nine yellow gems at a €1 standard stake pay €1 × 0.25 = €0.25, before any multiplier. This illustrates a paytable calculation, not a recorded or predicted spin.
The Princess Scatter has its own payouts and starts free spins. Four Scatters pay 3x, five pay 5x, and six pay 100x the standard stake; each of these counts starts 15 free spins. Only the highest applicable Scatter count pays. During free spins, three or more Scatters add five spins. Three is a retrigger count, with no three-Scatter cash payout listed in this paytable.
Ordinary symbols, Scatters and multiplier symbols cover the relevant roles here. There is no Wild substitution mechanic to use when counting an ordinary combination.
- 4 Princess Scatters
- 3x + 15 free spins
- 5 Princess Scatters
- 5x + 15 free spins
- 6 Princess Scatters
- 100x + 15 free spins
A tumble win resolves before its multiplier
An ordinary win starts the tumble loop:
- Pay the combination and remove its winning ordinary symbols. Scatters and multiplier symbols stay in place.
- Let the remaining symbols fall into the spaces, then fill vacancies with new symbols from above.
- Count the new grid. A new paying combination repeats the loop; a refill with no new paying combination ends the sequence.
These tumbles belong to the same spin, rather than a new stake being charged for every refill. There is no fixed count limit on consecutive tumbles, although the round payout ceiling still ends a round that reaches its cap.
Multiplier symbols can appear on the initial spin or during a tumble, in the base game and free spins. Their possible values are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000x. A printed number is the value of that particular symbol; the heart emblem in the ordinary paytable has no such value.
At the end of a winning base-game sequence, add the multiplier values on the grid, then multiply the ordinary sequence win by that sum. The values are added to each other, not multiplied together. The base-game sum belongs to the current spin and its tumbles; the feature-wide accumulator is a free-spins rule.
Adding 2x and 5x to a €2 sequence
Hypothetical base-game example: ordinary wins across one sequence total €2, with 2x and 5x multiplier symbols. The payout is €2 × (2 + 5) = €14. This is an illustrative ordinary tumble calculation; treat a Scatter trigger award separately. A multiplier symbol with no ordinary win supplies no amount to multiply.
The saved free-spin total needs a new multiplier
The 15-spin feature uses the stake that triggered it and does not debit a new stake for each free spin. Its special feature reels and stored multiplier change how consecutive spins work. The stored total lasts through this feature, including any retriggered spins.
Three outcomes make the rule easier to follow:
- A winning sequence with a new multiplier adds the new values to the saved total, applies the resulting total to that sequence's ordinary win, and retains the larger total.
- A winning sequence without a new multiplier pays its ordinary value. The saved total remains available for later qualifying sequences, but does not multiply this win.
- A sequence without a paying combination does not add its multiplier symbols to the saved total.
Hypothetical feature example: the saved total is 7, a sequence pays €2 before multipliers, and new 3x and 5x symbols land. Its payout is €2 × (7 + 3 + 5) = €30. The stored total becomes 15. A later €2 ordinary win with no new multiplier pays €2, while the stored total stays at 15. These are example inputs, not a demonstration of how often the feature pays.
Three or more Scatters during the feature add five spins. They extend the current feature, so its stored total stays in use under the same qualifying rule. Four, five or six Scatters at the initial trigger still start 15 spins; a larger trigger count changes the Scatter cash award, not that initial spin count. The stored total belongs to the current feature, so do not plan a later independent feature around it.
The useful number to follow is the combination of ordinary sequence win and new multiplier. A large saved total alone does not turn every remaining free spin into a multiplied win.
Ante and a feature buy charge for different routes
Ante changes the Scatter setup
Ante raises the spin cost by 25%. It changes the stake factor from 20 to 25 and doubles the stated Scatter chance. That is a relative increase: it supplies no absolute trigger probability or fixed number of spins to a bonus. Ordinary payouts continue to use the underlying standard stake.
Hypothetical Ante example: a €1 standard stake costs €1 × 25 ÷ 20 = €1.25 with Ante. The extra €0.25 buys the changed Scatter setup; a 0.25x ordinary payout still uses €1 as its basis. A higher debit does not make the paytable 25% larger.
A 100x purchase starts the feature
Buy Free Spins costs 100x the chosen standard total stake. It starts the feature through a Scatter trigger. The RON configurations use a random four-, five- or six-Scatter result, and the EUR configuration guarantees at least four. The feature starts with 15 spins in either case. The purchase secures entry to that feature; it does not secure a return equal to its price.
Hypothetical buy example: €1 × 100 = €100 to enter. Any resulting payout and the €100 purchase cost are separate figures. A payout below €100 would leave the purchase with a negative net result.
Ante and Buy Free Spins are mutually exclusive: the buy option is disabled while Ante is active. For the EUR configuration described here, the feature-buy stake stops at €50, giving a maximum purchase price of €5,000. That is lower than the €100 maximum standard-spin stake. Do not extend the buy menu to a €10,000 purchase just by multiplying the ordinary maximum by 100.
RTP changes with the configured version
Pragmatic Play's catalogue RTP for Starlight Princess 1000 is 96.50%. The game also has documented RON variants with different returns, and each states base, Ante and buy figures separately.
96.50% base version
- Base game
- 96.50%
- Ante
- 96.50%
- Buy Free Spins
- 96.49%
95.00% base version
- Base game
- 95.00%
- Ante

- Buy Free Spins

94.00% base version
- Base game
- 94.00%
- Ante
- 94.00%
- Buy Free Spins
- 94.03%
These are configuration examples, not a promise that a particular casino delivers all of them. A mode's RTP belongs to its version: the 94.03% buy figure does not belong beside a 96.50% base figure. The EUR stake configuration below has no stated RTP to attach to it.
RTP describes theoretical return across a very large amount of play. 96.50% is not a 96.50% chance of winning a spin, nor a promise to get €96.50 back from a €100 session. The native game labels volatility high, with five lightning marks. That describes its uneven payout profile; it is not a measured frequency for a feature or a 1,000x symbol.
The mode choice has a clear cost consequence even before any outcome: standard spins debit the standard stake, Ante debits 1.25 times it, and a buy debits 100 times it at once. Choosing a button or a time of day does not establish a way to force a random multiplier. Pick the entry cost you mean to use, then judge the resulting feature by its actual sequence rules.
The round ceiling and stake menu are separate limits
The 15,000x round ceiling applies to the complete round, including its feature. Reaching it ends the round immediately, caps the payment and cancels remaining special modes. Unused free spins do not continue adding payments beyond the ceiling. An individual 1,000x symbol is only one input to the sequence calculation; it is not the largest possible total round payout.
Hypothetical cap example: at a €0.20 standard stake, €0.20 × 15,000 = €3,000 is the round ceiling. It is a theoretical limit, not a predicted result or the amount a demo will show.
- Standard spin
- €0.20 to €100
- Ante spin maximum
- €125
- Feature-buy underlying stake maximum
- €50
- Feature-buy price maximum
- €5,000
- Printed absolute game maximum
- €1,500,000
The EUR amounts belong to that configuration. The three RON variants print a 0.20 to 500 RON stake range. Neither set supplies a PLN, USD or Rupiah minimum by conversion, and the stake menu at your chosen game instance determines the amounts available there. The €1,500,000 printed absolute maximum is a configuration ceiling, alongside the stake-relative 15,000x limit, rather than a cash award attached to every spin.
Original, 1000 and Super Scatter have different offers
The original Starlight Princess has multiplier symbols from 2x to 500x. The 1000 edition extends the individual symbol range to 1,000x and uses the conditional accumulation explained above. That is the useful distinction when choosing the edition, rather than assuming that an extra zero changes every ordinary symbol payout.
Starlight Princess Super Scatter is another game. Its multiplier symbols go up to 500x, while its separate Super Scatter awards can reach 50,000x. Those instant Super Scatter awards are not part of Starlight Princess 1000. Search results combining "1000" and "Super Scatter" do not turn them into one feature.
For this edition, follow the printed multiplier symbols and the total saved during the feature. Do not transfer Sugar Rush's sticky-position multiplier idea onto this grid: Starlight's ordinary wins count symbols anywhere, and its feature rule depends on a new multiplier in the winning sequence.
Open the official browser demo, then choose the account separately
The official Starlight Princess 1000 product page contains the browser demo entry and asks for age confirmation before entry. Use that published page to reach the exact edition. The link opens the provider's page; use Play demo above to load the practice game here.
The mobile version follows the same game rules, stakes and payouts as desktop, with controls arranged for the device. On a smaller screen, read the total stake and whether Ante is selected before treating an ordinary win as a multiple of the debit. The two figures can differ by that 25% Ante charge.
For free play or an APK search, the available route here is the official browser demo entry. There is no APK download supplied by this page. A demo outcome is also separate from a casino balance, bonus award or withdrawal.
Before choosing a casino account, compare its game catalogue, bonus choices and account conditions separately from these slot rules. The Vavada review explains its general casino and bonus choices; select the exact game and its settings in the casino catalogue separately.

Questions and answers
How does Starlight Princess 1000 build its free-spin multiplier?
A winning sequence with a new multiplier adds the new values to the stored total, uses that total for its ordinary win and retains it for later qualifying sequences. A win without a new multiplier pays its ordinary amount. Multipliers on a nonwinning sequence add nothing; the stored total lasts through the current feature and its retriggers.
What happens when Starlight Princess 1000 reaches its maximum win?
The complete round is capped at 15,000x the standard stake, including its free-spin feature. Reaching the ceiling immediately ends the round, caps the payment and cancels remaining special modes, so unused free spins cannot add more. The 1,000x printed on one multiplier symbol is a separate value within the calculation.
Which RTP figures belong to the Starlight Princess 1000 versions?
The documented RON versions pair base and Ante RTPs of 96.50%, 95.00% and 94.00% with respective Buy Free Spins RTPs of 96.49%, 95.01% and 94.03%. Each buy figure belongs to its own version. The separate EUR stake configuration has no stated RTP to attach to it.
