Princess Warrior slot by Realtime Gaming (RTG)

There is little to learn about how to play Princess Warrior beyond the stake, and it is the only thing that has to be set before the first spin. What the Princess Warrior paytable promises is stated against that number and not in cash.

A win in Princess Warrior is a run of matching symbols on one of its 40 lines, counted from the leftmost reel rightwards; a combination that starts anywhere else does not pay. Only the highest win on each line is paid, so two hits on the same line do not add up.

Everything above is stated in full inside Princess Warrior itself — the paytable button opens the list of symbols and the rules for Warrior Wild. The numbers there are quoted against the stake you currently have set, which makes them easier to read than any review.

Mechanically Princess Warrior is 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines, which puts it either side of the RTG norm. The princess is the top symbol, a blade sits under it, and the card ranks below those are what most Princess Warrior spins return.

Warrior Wild does the substituting (the blade turns a whole reel wild), and it is worth learning what it does not substitute for, which is the scatter. The Princess Warrior ceiling is 5,000× the line bet, which is a feature number, not a base-game one.

On Princess Warrior one entry does the heavy lifting — Free Games: up to twenty-five spins under a multiplier. Practically, that means a session on Princess Warrior divides into two very different modes, and judging the game on the base spins alone gives you half the picture.

Princess Warrior carries three features, and they are where the game earns its place in the lobby rather than on the base grid.

Warrior Wild. The paytable entry reads: the blade turns a whole reel wild. On Princess Warrior this is the difference between a flat session and one you remember, so it is worth knowing what Warrior Wild looks like before it arrives.

Free Games — up to twenty-five spins under a multiplier, with princess still the symbol you want them to land on. In a high-volatility game like Princess Warrior that matters more than it sounds: Free Games is the round the quoted ceiling is calculated from.

Star Bonus. The paytable entry reads: pick a star for a payout. On Princess Warrior this is the difference between a flat session and one you remember, so it is worth knowing what Star Bonus looks like before it arrives.

None of these fire on demand, and that is the point: Warrior Wild is worth having a balance left for, and the rest of Princess Warrior is the wait.

The stake on Princess Warrior is 40 lines times whatever you set per line. Playing fewer than 40 is possible but rarely sensible on Princess Warrior — it lowers the cost and the hit rate in the same step. That is also why 5,000× the line bet is written as a multiple rather than an amount — the Princess Warrior ceiling moves with the stake.

Volatility on Princess Warrior is high, which means it pays rarely and heavily, so long flat stretches are normal and the bankroll has to survive them. Be careful with any RTP figure you find for Princess Warrior elsewhere. RTG sets the return per operator, not per game, so Princess Warrior runs differently from one casino to the next. The only figure worth trusting for Princess Warrior is the one printed in its own paytable.

Raising or lowering the stake mid-session leaves no memory behind in Princess Warrior: it settles each spin independently, and a run of losses does not make the next one better priced. If you autoplay Princess Warrior, set it to break on Warrior Wild — the one moment in the game you want to be watching.

On Princess Warrior the stake wants to be small relative to the balance: the game can go a long way without paying, and the only protection against that is spin count. A limit set before Princess Warrior loads is worth more than one set at the end of a losing run; the tools for it are in your account.

If you are clearing a bonus on Princess Warrior, note that slots contribute 100% of the wagering requirement — the full terms are on our bonus page. Warrior Wild is what Princess Warrior is built around, and it shows itself in play rather than in a table — a few rounds say more than the specification above.

One thing not to do with Princess Warrior is chase Warrior Wild by raising the stake after a dry run: its trigger frequency does not change with bet size, only the cost of waiting does. If Princess Warrior stops being comfortable, the responsible gaming page lists the limits, the cooling-off options and the outside organisations we work with.

In short: Princess Warrior is for a game that can do very little for a long time and then do a great deal at once. The natural companion in our lobby is Nova 7s; the family of mechanics is close, the feel is not.

Nova 7s is the near neighbour, and either is a reasonable opening. Princess Warrior is the better one when you are prepared to sit through the quiet.
