Phoenix Princess Slots

Prepare to experience the majesty of the Orient in Phoenix Princess, a 5 reel, 20 fixed payline video slot from the software group GameART that looks every bit as splendid as its rather grandiose title and sits well with their other titles such as the Mystic Riches slot.

Featuring a striking gold background with velvet-like purple reels, Phoenix Princess makes an instant visual impression on players – and they’ll find themselves even more bedazzled when they experience the slot’s bonus feature, which awards free spins and turns half the symbols into wilds.

Although a “what you see is what you get” type slot that does not feature any additional mini-games save for the gamble feature, Phoenix Princess packs enough punch to keep even seasoned slot players intrigued, while the great graphics and colourful theme should certainly pull in the amateurs.

Pearls of the Orient

With 20 fixed paylines, Phoenix Princess is a relatively straightforward game to play. Before each turn, players simply have to select their bet per line amount and hit the spin button, with coin amounts ranging from $0.01 to $0.50 to provide a fair deal of flexibility even for smaller bankrolls and low limit game players.

This means that Phoenix Princes can be played from anywhere between $0.20 and $10 per spin – making it generally a game for lower stakes players – but for your investment you’ll have a chance of landing a maximum jackpot of 3,000x your bet per line for matching a yin-yang symbol on each reel.

While that top payout obviously doesn’t come around too often, regular prize awards of between 5x and 50x your line bet are available for the game’s three-of-a-kind combinations. A bonus round that gives players eight free spins and turns all medium value symbols wild also helps ensure that your winnings keep ticking over, while the yin-yang symbol can be substituted for all regular icons too.

Phoenix from the Flames

As alluded to previously, Phoenix Princess is a beautiful slot to look at, both in terms of its colour scheme and the artistry that has gone into designing its symbols. Although, as is often the case, the standard ace-through-nine playing card symbols are present to lower the tone somewhat, the game’s unique icons depict lotus flowers, ornate vases, pagodas and the beautiful princess herself.

A stone yin-yang is both the wild and the game’s highest value icon, while the 5 reels are also adorned with majestic looking phoenix symbols. Straddling three spaces on the reel in total, great detail has been put into these special icons and they really improve the overall look of the game.

All symbols feature pretty crisp animations whenever they feature in a winning payline, but unfortunately the game has very little in the way of music throughout, with only a few winning jingles thrown in to break up the standard sounds of reels falling into place and cash being banked.

Earn the Crown

Of course, as beautiful as Phoenix Princess looks, players wouldn’t simply sit there admiring it if it wasn’t for a bonus feature that doles out some fairly substantial prizes. Unfortunately, you’ll often have to go through a lot of spins to trigger it as – despite being scatter symbols – the phoenix icons are only valid when they appear on consecutive reels from left. It is, however, well worth the wait.

Once the bonus feature is activated by three or more phoenix icons appearing in a row, players will automatically receive eight free spins to try and build their bankroll. During these spins, the yin-yang symbol will be dropped from the reels, but the flower, pot, pagoda and princess icons will all become wild, meaning you’re more or less guaranteed at least one winning payline per free spin.

Multiply this by eight turns and you’ll obviously be left walking away with a fairly substantial prize amount – but if even that’s not enough for you, your winnings can be gambled in red or black picking game. Be warned, however, that if you chose the wrong colour you will lose the entire amount.

Keys to the Kingdom

While it’s easy to get sucked in by the beauty of Phoenix Princess, the top-notch visuals are merely the icing on the cake for what is, at its core, a pretty enjoyable slot which can offer real cash rewards. Although you’ll have to stick around for the long haul to get the most out of the game, the bonus feature in Phoenix Princess is definitely worth the wait and can easily turn a long losing streak into profit after just one trigger.
