When it comes to graphics and music, the slot is fairly simple, as everything looks minimalistic but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
The RTP of Crystal Prince is 96.04% which is a bit higher than the average standard rate. Betting range is pretty wide, with min bets starting off at C$0.20 and maximum allowed stake being C$100.
Gameplay & Bonus Features
Symbols
Symbols in Crystal Prince are pretty basic, however symbols are split into three sets: 4 low-paying icons, 4 medium-paying icons and a single high-paying symbol.
Low-paying symbols consist of snowflakes of different colors, pink, blue, yellow and green. Getting a combination with 6 of the same symbol will earn you 0.25-0.3x of your stake.
Medium-value icons are represented by colorful gemstones. 6-of-a-kind formation of them is worth 0.5-0.8x your bet.
The slot features only one icon that could be classified as ‘high-paying’, and that’s the Prince himself! Landing six Prince symbols on a winning payline will get you 2x your bet.
The Wild Symbol of this game is the Wild Frost icon. Its main purpose is to replace all the symbols sans Scatter and Multiplier Wild, which boosts your chances of completing winning combinations.
Crystal Prince also has a Blue Snowflake Scatter symbol in its line-up. This little icon is your key to activating one of the game’s main features, the Free Spins mode.
Features
Snowfall
First of the features we are going to talk about is the Snowfall Feature. Each time you form a winning combo, a new row will be added to the game’s grid. The maximum number of total rows you can play with is 8.
Blizzard Mode
Once you manage to unlock all 8 rows, a Blizzard Mode will come to life. A Prince will pay you a visit, adding between 1-3 of the new special symbol, Wild Multiplier to the grid. The number of symbols you receive is random, but you are guaranteed to get at least one. Every winning formation that includes a Multiplier Wild will be increased by either 2x or 3x.
In this mode, all bonus symbols (Wilds and Scatters), as well as high-value icons freeze in their place and all the remaining symbols are removed from the reels. This causes the new symbols to cascade from above, which can lead to some crazy winnings.
The mode will continue as long as new winning combinations are being made.
Free Spins
Once you manage to get at least 3 Scatter Symbols, a Free Spins Mode will commence.
In case you land 3 Scatters, you will get 8 Free Spins, for 4 you receive 12, for 5 its 15 and finally if you land 6, you will receive 20 Spins maximum.
Before each spin, between 1-4 of Multiplier Wilds are randomly added to the reels. What’s more, these multipliers can be multiplied, for example if you get two 3x multipliers, they will result in a 9x boost to your earnings from the winning combinations they are part of.
You also can extend the duration of Free Spins mode by getting at least 2 Scatters, which will earn you 3 extra spins. And there’s no limit to how much bonus spins you can grab either.
If you play this game outside the UK, you can skip the hassle of activating the feature and buy it by paying 60x of your stake instead.
