Cloud Princess
Cloud Princess Slot Review & Demo Game
Cloud Princess may reveal all her treasures to you if you’re lucky enough. The game is a 6×5 scatter-pays slot from Hacksaw Gaming. It operates on a medium-variance maths model, carries a top RTP of 96.24%, and offers a maximum win of 10,000x your bet. The feature set covers cascading wins, three types of multiplier symbols, two free spins rounds, and four bonus buy options. This review walks through how the game works and where it sits compared to the slots that clearly inspired it.
Cloud Princess Slot Game Details
Game Theme and Design
Cloud Princess has a strong anime and manga style, and you can find the princess hovering on the right side of the game grid, which is framed by an icy white structure adorned with theme-related carvings. The reels sit among clouds, which fits the name, and the soundtrack carries a calm, slightly romantic tone.
The art and audio are well put together, and the influence of classic anime is easy to spot. If a manga-styled slot is your thing, the presentation here does its job. If the style doesn’t do anything for you, the visuals alone are unlikely to change your mind.
RTP and Variance
The published top RTP is 96.24%, which is a fair figure for a modern video slot. Worth knowing: Hacksaw Gaming has built Cloud Princess with four different RTP settings, and casinos can choose which version to run. The 96.24% release is the best of the four, so it pays to check the game info section at your chosen casino before playing, since a lower setting reduces your long-term return.
Variance is medium. That means wins arrive at a reasonable rate, but the big payouts still rely on the multiplier symbols and bonus rounds lining up.
How to Play
Setting a spin is simple.
- Use the plus and minus buttons on either side of the spin button to set your stake. Bets run from 10c up to 100 per spin.
- Pick a stake you are comfortable with and treat the game as entertainment rather than income. Hacksaw includes self-exclusion and timeout tools, and using them is sensible if you ever feel you need a break.
- The three-bar menu button opens the music and sound settings and the game info section with the full paytable.
How Wins Work
Cloud Princess uses a scatter-pays system, so symbols pay wherever they land rather than on fixed lines. You need at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the grid to form a win.
There are ten pay symbols in total. Five are jewel-style icons that serve as the low-paying ones, and five are more elaborate, themed objects that pay more. Eight matching symbols award 0.2x to 2x your bet, while a cluster of 19 or more matching symbols pays 50x to 400x. There are no wild symbols at any stage of the game.
After a win, the cascading mechanic removes the winning symbols and drops new ones in to fill the gaps, which can lead to further wins from a single spin.
Multiplier Symbols
Multiplier symbols are the main driver of the bigger payouts. If at least one win lands on a spin and a multiplier symbol is also present, that symbol applies its value to the total win at the end of the spin. When more than one multiplier symbol is in view, their values add together first. The highest possible combined multiplier value is 10,000x, which also matches the game’s overall maximum win.
There are three multiplier symbol types.
Normal Multiplier Symbol
Lands with their value already visible. Possible starting values are 2x, 3x, or 4x. The value increases by 1 with each new cascade.
Super Multiplier Symbol
Lands showing a question mark, and the value is revealed only when the symbol is activated. Possible starting values are 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x. The value increases by 2 with each new cascade.
Epic Multiplier Symbol
Lands with their value already visible. Possible starting values are 5x, 10x, 50x, or 100x. This is the one to watch because its value doubles with each new cascade. An x100 Epic symbol in a long cascade run is the most realistic route to the top win.
Bonus Features
Cloud Princess has two free spins rounds, both triggered by the FS scatter symbol.
Cloud Surge Free Spins
Land three FS scatter symbols together in the base game to start Cloud Surge with 10 free spins. During each spin, all wins are collected into a pending win amount shown above the reels, which updates after every winning cascade. Any multiplier symbols that land have their values added together and applied to the total win at the end of the spin.
You can extend the round by landing more scatters. Two FS symbols award +2 free spins, and three FS symbols award +4.
Divine Boost Free Spins
Land four FS scatter symbols together in the base game to start Divine Boost with 10 free spins. This round adds a progressive Divine Multiplier. It collects every multiplier value that forms part of a win, and the stored figure grows with each later winning spin that includes multiplier symbols.
Two conditions are worth noting. If a spin produces a win but no multiplier symbols are on the grid, the Divine Multiplier is not applied. If multiplier symbols land but there is no win, those multipliers are not added to the Divine Multiplier, and the Divine Multiplier remains inactive. As with Cloud Surge, two FS symbols award +2 free spins and three award +4.
Bonus Buy Options
If you would rather skip the base game wait, four bonus buys are available:
- BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 3x the bet, which makes each spin five times more likely to trigger a bonus round.
- Heavenly FeatureSpins at 50x the bet, where every spin guarantees at least one win and one multiplier symbol.
- Cloud Surge at 100x the bet.
- Divine Boost at 200x the bet.
Bonus buys cost real money up front and do not change the game’s RTP, so they suit players who already understand the trade-off. They are restricted or unavailable in some regions.
Our Verdict
Cloud Princess is a competent slot, but it is also unusually derivative for a Hacksaw Gaming release. The studio is known for original ideas, yet this game borrows heavily from the scatter-pays template popularised by Pragmatic Play titles such as Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza, with traces of Play’n GO’s Moon Princess in the mix. Scatter pays, multiplier symbols, and a building total multiplier in free spins are all familiar ground.
That said, Hacksaw adds enough of its own touches to keep things interesting. The growing multiplier symbol values, the split between the Cloud Surge and Divine Boost rounds, and the way the features interact give the game its own feel, even if the building blocks are not new. The 10,000x ceiling on both the multiplier symbols and the overall win is a genuine high point for players chasing a big result.
