Starlight Christmas Slot

If you’ve played Pragmatic Play’s Starlight Princess, you’ll know what to expect in the developer’s slot game, which even contains the same word in its name, Starlight Christmas. As you’d assume, the slot is a Christmas reskin of the original, with little, if anything changed other than the theme and symbol design.

The slot uses a 6x5 grid with the Scatter Pays mechanic and offers the average RTP and a 5,000x the stake payout potential. If you’ve played the original, you know that Multipliers and Free Spins are the two features that can take you to the max win, so stay with us to learn how to make the most out of them to reach your goal.

The anime girl on the right side of the grid immediately reminds you of the original, and you see her the minute you load the slot, this time wearing a Christmas outfit. On top of the reels, you see the Tumble Win display. On the left, you see the Buy Free Spins button and going down, the Ante Bet which doubles your chances of triggering the bonus by increasing the bet by 25%. Going further down, you'll see an empty display, to be filled later throughout the gameplay.

Below the reels, you see the standard buttons present in all Pragmatic Play slots. If you look down from the anime girl, you first see the big Spin button, with the Autoplay button below it and the – and + on the sides, where you can adjust your bet. The minimum bet you can place per spin is $0.20, while the maximum is $100.

Going left, you see the Win display, followed by the Credit and Bet displays. The “i” button is next, where you’ll find the paytable. Inside, you’ll have the Scatter Pays system explained, which basically means symbols pay when at least 8 matchings are present anywhere on the reels, hence, the name of the system. Winning symbols are removed from the reels by the Tumbles, so new symbols slide down to fill in the gaps. In the paytable, you'll meet the symbols, too. You'll see the low-paying five gemstones in different colors, and the high-paying gems with moons, suns, hearts, and stars on them. When they form a win with at least 8 symbols, they can give you a payout of 0.25x to 10x the stake, and with 12 to 30 symbols, 2x to 50x the stake.

Finally, you have the Speaker button where you can enable or disable the sounds of the game, and above it, the three-bar button where the other game settings are.

Available on any device, the Starlight Christmas real money slot plays smoothly regardless of whether you’re using an iPad, a Samsung tablet, an iPhone, or a Xiaomi smartphone. As long as your mobile device is connected to the internet, without downloading it, you’ll be able to play the game no matter where you are.

In the base game of the Starlight Christmas slot, you’ll notice the presence of many Multiplier symbols, even though they also appear in the Bonus Round.

When they land, they display a value of 2x to 500x, and after a Tumble, their values are added up and applied to the total win of that spin.

The Hello Kitty-like anime cat is the Scatter in the slot, wearing a Santa hat. Whenever you land 3 to 5 Scatters, you get 15 Free Spins plus a cash prize of 3x, 5x, or 100x the stake, respectively. During the Starlight Christmas Bonus Round, whenever a Multiplier lands, its value is added to the Multiplier value of the total spin. If 3 or more Scatters land during the Free Spins, you get to play through 5 or more extra Free Spins.

You should also know that in order to use the Bonus Buy bet, the Ante Bet needs to be disabled. Paying 100x the stake, you’ll buy your way into the Free Spins and not wait to trigger them organically.

Most of the real cash slots by Pragmatic Play nowadays have the same RTP of 96.50%, and so does Starlight Christmas. When it comes to volatility, it is a high variance slot, also like most slots by the developers recently. The payout potential, on the other hand, is 5,000x the stake.

If you play it for the minimum bet of $0.20, you will get $1,000. But, if you decide to play it with the max bet of $100 (or $125 with the Ante Bet feature), the max you could win playing the slot is $500,000 (or $625,000 with the Ante Bet feature).

Starlight Christmas does not offer an exciting theme, to be honest. There were so many Christmas reskins launched nowadays, offering nothing new but only Christmassy elements, and sadly, this slot is no different. However, if you liked the original and you want to feel the holiday vibe, you’ll enjoy it at our recommended online casino slot sites. The gameplay is straightforward, the Scatter Pays mechanic is fun, and the max payout of 5,000x the stake is decent… What else can one ask for?
