Cloud Princess Free Play in Demo Mode by Hacksaw Gaming

Cloud Princess review

Theme and Storyline

Cloud Princess slot fits into its own sub genre of fantasy-themed games, with a Japanese anime twist.

Players will see a princess hover above the reels, and it is as enchanting as a Barbie movie. But on a slot-related note, it bears more than a passing resemblance to Gates of Olympus.

The world of Cloud Princess is both romantic and adventurous, and players will notice this as soon as they step in.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Hacksaw Gaming isn’t known for producing copycat graphics or animations, and it tries to give a unique take on Cloud Princess.

There is a cute vibe to this game which players will discover, and that is supported by an ethereal soundtrack. It seems like a harp is playing in the background, and it will allow players to relax into the game when they load the reels.

The sound effects add to the atmosphere of this slot, which is rather wispy, especially in terms of the clouds that the Princess is floating on.

Overall, the visuals and soundtrack give this Hacksaw Gaming title a more light-hearted feel compared to some of its other darker, more sinister titles.

Gameplay

The action unfolds on a 6x5 grid and has a scatter-pays system. The scatters pay system has the potential to create mammoth multipliers and huge wins for players.

Scatter-pays slots will have winning symbols that will pay wherever they land, and at least 8 are needed to trigger a prize. Lucrative winning symbols include gemstones and jewelry, rewarding players with prizes worth 50x to 400x their stake, when 19 or more gemstones come into view.

The cascading reel mechanic of the game will help to provide indefinite winning streaks that will be fueled by 3 different multiplier symbols. Through this mechanic, winning symbols are removed from the grid, making room for new and existing symbols to drop down to fill the gaps.

Multipliers in this game, as players will discover, are progressive, so they will increase by +1 or +2 per cascade.

The maximum win ceiling is set at 10,000x a player’s total stake for any given round.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Multiplier symbols will accumulate per cascade that occurs. Their values will be added together to boost a player’s total win from a spin.

This slot features three types of Multiplier symbols. The first is the Normal Multiplier Symbol, which will land and increase by +1 with every new cascade. The possible initial values for players are x2, x3, and x4.

The Super Multiplier symbol will increase cascades by +2 and have the following values attached: x5, x10, x15, and x20. Or, players can land an Epic Multiplier Symbol which will reveal values of x5, x10, x50, or x100, and double cascades.

A Cloud Surge Bonus Feature comes into play when players land at least 3 FS Scatters in view on the same spin or same cascade sequence. This will trigger the Bonus Round with 10 free spins, and wins from this sequence are just like any multiplier values.

The total win will be boosted by the total multiplier symbol value at the end of a cascade. Players can get 2 or 4 extra free spins from 2 or 3 FS scatters, depending on how many additional scatters they land.

The Divine Boost Bonus Feature will be activated when players land 4 FS scatters at the same time in the base game. This will trigger 10 free spins, and in this bonus round, a Divine Multiplier will collect all multiplier values that are involved in a win before adding it to the total win.

Multipliers will be stored in the progressive Divine Multiplier portal and will increase with each following spin containing multiplier symbols. If there is a win but there are no multipliers on the grid, the Divine Multiplier will remain dormant.

Players can also receive 2 or 4 more free spins for gaining 2 or 3 additional scatters on the same spin or cascade respectively.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

Cloud Princess has an RTP of 96.24%, which is slightly above the industry average of 96%.

The range of the bets starts from a minimum of $/£/€0.10 per spin, running to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin. This seems to be a standard range to suit bankrolls of all sizes.

However, Cloud Princess is of medium volatility, meaning players can expect medium-sized payouts with moderate frequency. However, the slot RTP makes this game reasonable.

Conclusion

While this might not be the most polished production Hacksaw Gaming has produced, Cloud Princess has a rather genteel vibe that deserves special praise.

However, add in multipliers along with some big wins, and this will keep players on their toes.

There aren’t many Hacksaw Games with a scatter-pays mechanic, so this is something worth paying attention to.
