Crystal Prince Review

Crystal Prince Reviewed November 24 2020 by Casinogamesonnet.com

Developed by Quickspin, Crystal Prince is a 6x8 grid slot that offers 4,096 ways by default. It revolves around a prince who presides over a wintery wonderland. With up to 262,144 ways and serious win potential, this game is definitely worth a look.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

This slot features five reels and 25 paylines. You score wins by landing 3+ matching symbols in a reel going from left to right, starting with reel 1.

Crystal Prince features six reels and eight rows (6x8 grid). Although the grid can hold up to 48 symbols, only 32 icons fall onto the grid to start each round. Therefore, you have plenty of chances to earn extra symbols through features (covered later).

Wins form when matching symbols land in adjacent reels. You initially start with 4,096 ways but can increase this amount as high as 262,144 ways in the bonus.

Regarding the atmosphere, Crystal Prince offers a Frozen feeling. The main game takes place in a majestic ice cave filled with rocky slopes.

Upon triggering the bonus, you’ll be whisked above ground to a beautiful wintery night. You’ll also hear a majestic soundtrack in both the main game and bonus settings.

The atmosphere is low energy and won’t pump you up while playing. However, it’s perfect if you want a relaxed-feeling game (minus the high volatility) during the winter season.

Crystal Prince Max Win, Payouts and Symbols

Low-paying symbols include blue, green, pink, and yellow snowflakes. Higher pays include blue, green, orange, and purple gemstones along with the Crystal Prince.

His majesty offers the most among regular pays at 2x your stake for six. You can win a maximum of 11,630x your stake when accounting for bonuses.

This game features two wild symbols, including a “Wild Frost Wild” and a “Wild Frost Multiplier Wild.” Both perform the normal function of substituting for regular pays to form wins.

However, the multiplier version offers either a 2x or 3x multiplier on your win. Assuming 2+ Wild Frost Multiplier Wilds appear in the same payout, then they multiplier each other’s values (e.g. 2 x 3 = 6x multiplier).

Crystal Prince RTP, Volatility and Betting Options

The betting range runs from €0.20 to €100 your stake. The Crystal Prince RTP is 96.04%, which is at the industry average.

Quickspin rates the volatility at 4/5, meaning that it’s fairly volatile. It’s not hard to see why this game drew a 4/5 when considering wins up to 11,630x.

Crystal Prince Features

Extra symbols/ways is at the heart of Crystal Prince’s features. You’ll also find plenty of other bonuses in this slot as well.

Snowfall

Following any win, the Snowfall feature activates. It adds a new row of symbols above the grid and gives you an opportunity to score more payouts.

Assuming you do get another win, then the next vacant row fills up with icons. This process continues until you either fail to get another payout or fill the entire grid.

Here’s a look at how many ways you can enjoy at each level:

• 4 rows (default) = 4,096 ways
• 5 rows (one consecutive wins) = 15,625 ways
• 6 rows (two consecutive wins) = 46,656 ways
• 7 rows (three consecutive wins) = 117,649 ways
• 8 rows (four consecutive wins) = 262,144 ways

Blizzard Mode

Upon reaching eight rows, you’ll break the “Blizzard Seal” at the top of the grid. The Crystal Prince will appear and use his wand to trigger Blizzard Mode.

The latter puts between 1 and 3 Frost Wild Multipliers on the reels. Additionally, all winning symbols, high-paying icons, scatters, and wilds (regular & multiplier) become sticky.

Every symbol that doesn’t fall into one of these categories vanishes from the reels. A new symbol drop occurs and wins are evaluated accordingly. These drops continue so long as new payouts keep forming.

Wild Frost Free Spins

You trigger Wild Frost Free Spins by landing 3+ scatters anywhere on the reels. You receive 8, 12, 15, or 20 free spins for three, four, five, or six scatters, respectively.

Each round adds extra Wild Frost and Wild Frost Multiplier Wilds to the reels. As explained before, the Frost Multiplier Wilds will multiply each other when appearing in the same win.

If you get 2+ scatters on the reels, you’ll receive +3 free spins. No limit exists on how many additional free games you can receive.

Feature Buy

You can purchase Wild Frost Free Spins at any time (except in the UK) for 60x your stake. Feature Buy causes between 3 and 6 scatters to automatically fall on the ensuing spin.

Final Thoughts

Crystal Prince might seem like a quaint winter-themed game that you can sit back and relax to. However, its appearance is deceiving when considering the big wins, lucrative features, and high volatility.

This game feels like it’s having an identity crisis—but in a good way. If you’re willing to brave the frigid storm of high volatility in search of big wins, then you’ll be at home with Crystal Prince.

Snowfall and Blizzard Mode ensure that the main game stays entertaining. The action picks up even more when you trigger Wild Frost Free Spins.

The main possible downside to this game includes the seasonal angle. You may not feel like playing a wintery slot in the middle of the summer, for example. Any other time, though, you’ll probably enjoy Crystal Prince and its big potential wins.
