This page explains the Moon Princess slot RTP versions, max win, and UK stake limit for the original 2017 game instead of its sequels. A different game is described on several of the pages that rank for the name. Some numbers that players most often ask for are left out by Play'n GO's own page.
The basics most pages agree on
Moon Princess is a grid slot from Play'n GO that debuted on 26 July 2017. It uses a 5×5 layout. Players win by aligning three or more identical symbols vertically or horizontally. The game's theme centres on three princesses: Love, Star and Storm.
Three games, one name
Moon Princess Extreme is one separate title, while Moon Princess 100 is another; both appear among the top search results.
The original doesn't have a 15,000-times-bet maximum win or 96.20% RTP. These figures belong to Moon Princess 100. Verify which game is being referred to if a page lists those stats for "Moon Princess".
What the original actually does
The game is detailed by Play'n GO in this way:
- Cascades. Successful symbols vanish, and those above them slide down. The prize multiplier increases with every new drop.
- Wild Moon. This can stand in for the centre symbol of a winning set, continuing to act as a replacement during the next drop.
- Princess powers. A princess might appear randomly after a non-winning spin:
- Love modifies symbols.
- Star introduces wilds.
- Storm deletes symbols.
- Princess Trinity. A meter fills up when three or more similar symbols win. Once full, this meter initiates a re-spin where all three princesses use their abilities sequentially.
- Free spins. These are earned by removing every one of the 25 symbols from the grid.
- You pick a princess and the quantity of spins.
- The multiplier grows, reaching as much as 20 times the standard prize.
- If all 25 symbols are removed once more during this mode, you receive 100 times your total bet.
- This feature may reactivate for a maximum of 20 consecutive free spins.
Play'n GO provides no explanation regarding how selecting a specific princess affects the free spins. Be cautious of any detailed analysis unless it originates from the in-game help screen.
RTP and maximum win: what is and isn't confirmed
Play'n GO's public page for the original game omits the RTP, RTP settings, volatility rating, stake range, and total maximum win. While the grid-clearing prize of 100 times the bet is a payout from one feature, it is not identified as the highest possible win.
External data for the original exists, but the numbers differ:
- One source cites a default RTP of 96.50%, a secondary setting of 94.51%, and maximum volatility.
- Another mentions only 94.51%.
- A third suggests a maximum win of 5,000 times the stake.
Such reports are consistent with a game that has multiple RTP options. However, the developer has not officially verified any of this. The most trustworthy information is found in the rules menu of the specific casino version you are using, as that reflects your actual game settings.
How the game works for players in Great Britain
Under Gambling Commission regulations, Moon Princess is classified as an online slot. That means:
- Stake limit. For those aged 18 to 24, the cap is £2, while it is £5 per game cycle for anyone 25 or older. Here, you cannot access any higher stakes the game may provide in other regions. Every qualifying slot, regardless of its name, is subject to this limit.
- No autoplay. You must manually trigger each spin.
- No turbo or quick spin. Any functionality that accelerates the outcome is prohibited.
- Minimum spin time. A gap of at least 2.5 seconds is required between the start of successive game cycles.
- No false celebrations. Win animations or sounds cannot be activated by a spin that pays back your stake or less. In a cascade game, this is relevant because a sequence of minor wins might still total less than your bet.
Stop playing once you've hit a budget you set beforehand.
Where it sits among Play'n GO's games
Interest in a game is what Google Ads estimates of UK searches indicate, not the number of players. Based on that metric, sixth of 405 Play'n GO games is where Moon Princess ranks:
| Game | Average monthly searches for "[name] slot" |
|---|---|
| Reactoonz | 170 |
| Legacy of Dead | 170 |
| Cops 'n' Robbers | 170 |
| Fire Joker | 110 |
| Gemix | 90 |
| Moon Princess | 90 |
| Golden Ticket | 70 |
| Rise of Merlin | 70 |
Because it also features a cascading grid, Reactoonz provides the nearest comparison. Play'n GO defines it by these traits:
- Wild flux capacitors
- matching symbols in clusters of five or more for wins, instead of straight lines of three
- a larger 7×7 grid
- oversized aliens that can multiply prizes
- a Gargantoon feature capable of triggering a chain of up to five features
The more compact game is Moon Princess. Each cascade is easier to follow because of the three-in-a-line rule and its smaller grid. What changes the grid are the princess powers, instead of oversized symbols.
