Pick this game if you want an anime and fantasy slot that pays wherever symbols land, with no fixed paylines. The 6x5 grid has 30 cells. A win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid. After each win the grid tumbles and new symbols fall in, so one spin can run through several wins. Multiplier orbs can land during a winning sequence and multiply its total.
Read the Free Spins rules first if the bonus round is what draws you in. Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid start 15 spins on purple starfield reels. Three or more scatters during the round retrigger 5 more spins. Orbs that hit during the round feed a Total Multiplier that carries across the whole round and multiplies later wins.

Three modes explained
It settles how each mode starts, what the player gets in it, and how it changes the bet.
Ante Bet (Double Chance) starts when you switch on the optional toggle before a spin. The bet rises from 20 to 25 coins, a 1.25x cost. The mode doubles the natural chance to trigger Free Spins and adds scatter presence on the reels.
Standard betDouble chance
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere trigger Free Spins. The round starts with 15 spins on special purple/starfield reels. Three or more scatters during the round retrigger +5 spins, and multiplier orb hits build a Total Multiplier that multiplies later wins across the whole round.
Four scatters landedStarting 15 spins
The Base Game plays on a 6x5 grid of 30 cells, where symbols pay anywhere with no fixed paylines. Each win sets off a tumble, and the grid refills after it. Multiplier orbs can hit during a winning tumble sequence and multiply the total win of that sequence.
Before any spinTumbling wins
Decide before you buy: Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the total bet, so the price rises with each bet step, as the table shows.
| Extra bet | Price | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins at 100x | x100 · A$1,000 | – |
Choose a bet knowing the return to player, the share of each stake paid back over the long run. The table turns that share into money per A$100 staked. Bonza's game rules show which version runs.

Five steps, one round
Settle the order of a round before you pick a bet and press spin.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$300 before the first spin. Every payout scales with that bet, so A$2, A$5 and A$10 follow the same rules.
Look for eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid. Each win clears its cells, the grid tumbles, and a multiplier orb can multiply the whole sequence.
Watch each tumble sequence for multiplier orbs. A hit orb multiplies the total win of that sequence.
Land four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere to start Free Spins. Free spins open with 15 spins on purple starfield reels, and three or more scatters add five more.
Set a limit before the first spin, since no one knows how a session ends. Stop when the limit is reached, or call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Decide how much you will stake before the first spin, because how often the Free Spins round comes is not known in advance. The gap between bonus rounds is random, and so is the result of any single session, whatever the RTP of the version in play. RTP is an average over a very large number of spins, so it says little about one session.
Check which RTP version runs before you bet, because only the game rules show it. Starlight Princess 1000 comes in two versions, and the gap between their return figures is small. Read the rules once, then compare the version in play with the RTP table on this page.
Plan around the bet you can afford, not around the top prize, because the maximum win of Starlight Princess 1000 is a ceiling reached very rarely. The ceiling is a multiple of the stake, so the money amount grows with the bet size listed in the table. Treat a big win as an outcome of chance, not a plan.

Starlight Princess 1000 FAQ
Bonza Casino lists the numbers first, so you can judge the game before the first bet.
Look at the RTP before you bet. Starlight Princess 1000 comes in two versions, at 96.49 and 96.50 per cent. The RTP is the long-run return on money staked, so it says nothing about a single session.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$300. The examples on this page use A$2, A$5 and A$10, but those are not the limits. The bet you choose sets every win and loss in money, so set it before the first spin.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. The highest possible win is 15,000 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$10 that is A$150,000, and at the highest bet of A$300 it is A$4,500,000.
Decide whether Buy Free Spins fits your budget before you use it. It costs 100 times the total bet, which is A$1,000 at the example top bet of A$10. The purchase triggers the bonus on a spin with four SCATTER symbols. It is unavailable while the Ante Bet is on.
