Moon Princess: Christmas Kingdom Slot review

Continuing the success of Moon Princess, the Christmas edition features the princess trio’s venture to their snowy northern domain. With fancy new 3D animations, win multiplier mistletoe, tripling the jackpot to 15,000x, and many more features to discover, Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom adds extra layers of entertainment while keeping the iconic look intact.

Betting Options and Bonus Features

With the background of a magnificent castle, Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom plays on a 5x5 configuration. It utilizes the cluster pay system, where players need three adjacent symbols to form winning combos. The game takes inspiration from the homie Christmas experience, complete with evergreens and snow. The jingle tunes accompanying every win add festivity to Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom. Across the pay table, players can spot the three charismatic ladies who pay an equal 16x the bet for five of a kind.

The math models of Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom received changes. The RTP has received minor tweaks from the developer, going down to 96.20%. On the other hand, the game drops in volatility level from 10/10 in the prequel to 8/10 in this one. Regardless, these changes are in balance with the jackpot, which has now tripled to 15,000x the bet.

One of the new features of Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom is the Mistletoe Multiplier. In every spin, the game highlights five random positions on the grid. Wins that occur on these spots increase the multiplier counter by +1. The counter resets after a loss spin.

Three ladies of the original game return with their powers intact. They activate their abilities on a random non-winning spin. Depending on the princess on the screen, the Girl Power can be:​

• Love: Transforms a set of symbols into another.
  
• Star: Randomly adds one or two wilds to the grid.
  
• Storm: Removes two sets of characters from the screen.
  

Princess Trinity returns in Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom accompanied by the Scatter Fox, the other new feature. Scatter arrives randomly on a spin or through the “What, The Fox?” event. When Trinity takes place, the game resets the multiplier counter while each Princess takes turns applying their powers. Should players clear the grid entirely, they receive access to the bonus round and a 50x the bet reward.

Players can pick from three flavors of Free Spins when starting the bonus round. Love, Star, and Storm reward 4, 5, and 8 Free Spins, respectively. During the event, the positions marked by Mistletoe Multipliers go up from 5 to 10. Each Scatter hit awards players with extra free spins, depending on the chosen princess. Love, Star, and Storm, bring 4, 3, and 2 Free Spins. Finally, the Trinity feature is inactive during Free Spins, although the cap of Free Spins has increased to 150.

Roshtein’s Take

I must admit Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom is a much better version of the original game. Of course, my favorite part of the game is getting Free Spins and the fun can continue infinitely with the generous Free Spin rewards. And although the game has experienced some changes to the volatility level, it still doesn’t feel any less time-consuming. No offense, but even if I try, I can't find the game enjoyable because it's simply not to my taste.
