From a plain tumble to a multiplier run
Symbols land on a 6x5 grid of 30 cells, and a win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid, with no fixed paylines. Winning symbols disappear, and new ones fall into their place, so one spin can run through several wins. The anime and fantasy theme frames this tumble mechanic, and four or more scatter symbols start the Free Spins.
Multiplier orbs can land during a winning tumble sequence and multiply the whole sequence win. Free Spins begin with 15 spins on purple and starfield reels, and the total multiplier builds from every orb hit across the round. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 spins. The Ante Bet doubles the natural chance to trigger Free Spins.
Rules before spinning
Know what each bonus round gives
The usual worry is when the bonus starts and how many spins follow.
How do Free Spins start?
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere trigger the Free Spins. The round opens with 15 spins on purple starfield reels. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 spins. Multiplier orb hits build a Total Multiplier across the round, which multiplies later wins.

Starlight Princess 1000 grid and tumbles
Each spin lands on a 6x5 grid of 30 cells. Symbols pay anywhere on the grid, with no fixed paylines. After each win, the grid tumbles again. Multiplier orbs can hit during a winning tumble sequence and multiply the total win of that sequence.

Know each step
Starlight Princess 1000 round, bet to payout
Read this before your first spin, to know how a round runs from bet to payout.
A$0.20 to A$300 per spin
Each spin on the 6x5 grid costs the bet you pick, from A$0.20 up to A$300. Paytable values use A$0.40 as the example stake and scale with your bet.
Fixed lines versus anywhere on grid
Symbols pay anywhere on the 6x5 grid, not along fixed lines. After each win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in, so one spin can chain several wins.
Does an orb multiply the sequence?
During a winning tumble sequence, multiplier orbs can land on the grid. They multiply the total win of that whole sequence, not each tumble on its own.
15 spins from four scatters
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid trigger Free Spins, starting with 15 spins on special purple starfield reels.
Your stop point before spin one
Every spin resolves on the grid, and no run of spins can be predicted, so set your limit before the first spin.
Buy in or add a bet?
On the reels, Buy Free Spins starts the free spins at once for 100 times the bet, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 top bet.

Learning the reels before any stake is placed
Read this when you first open the lobby and want to learn the reels.
On the demo reels, each spin costs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an Oz Casino account, and you must be 18 or over.
Play for moneyExpect no pattern in the reels
Each spin fills the 6x5 grid, and four or more SCATTER symbols start Free Spins, but nobody can tell in advance when that happens. How often the bonus round comes is not known before play, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. Two players with the same bet can finish far apart.
Each spin on the reels follows one of two RTP versions, and only the game rules state which version this lobby runs. Check the game rules before you choose a bet, since the version sets the long-run return on every bet.
Tumbles and multiplier orbs can build a large win in one sequence, but the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. A win at that ceiling is possible in theory, yet no session can be planned around it. The maximum win shows the limit of the game, not an expected payout.
When does Starlight Princess 1000 stop being fun?
You must be 18+ to play. Get help in Australia from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop to self-exclude.
The amount you can lose
Every spin on the 6x5 grid draws from your balance, so set the amount you can afford to lose before the first spin and keep to it.
Control the stop point
A win on the grid can tempt you to keep going. Set the stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a win too.
Set limits before you spin
Free spins and tumbles draw from the same balance, so set deposit and loss limits in your account before the first spin.
Is the grid still fun?
When the 6x5 grid stops being fun, take a break. If play no longer feels like a choice, self-exclude through BetStop before you return to the lobby.

Know the rules early
Bets, volatility and demo play
Plain answers from Oz Casino, with the numbers shown before you bet.
Is Starlight Princess 1000 a high volatility slot?
Wins on the 6x5 grid can be large but come in uneven patterns. The game is high volatility, so long stretches without a big win are normal. The maximum win is x15,000 the bet, or A$150,000 at the A$10 example bet.
What bets can I play on Starlight Princess 1000?
Each spin on the 6x5 grid starts at A$0.20, the lowest bet. The top bet is A$300, the highest allowed here, and the maximum win at that bet is A$4,500,000. Bets such as A$0.40 and A$10 are used as examples on this page.
Can I try Starlight Princess 1000 in demo mode before betting real money?
Tumbles follow each winning spin on the 6x5 grid, and the paytable shows how each win is paid before you stake real money. The lowest bet is A$0.20.
How does Starlight Princess 1000 differ from the other Starlight Princess versions?
Versions in the series differ in maximum win and RTP. Starlight Princess 1000 runs at 96.49 or 96.50 with a maximum win of x15,000. Starlight Princess Pachi pays up to x5,000 at 96.04, and Starlight Princess Super Scatter reaches x50,000 at 96.50.
