A 6x5 grid of 30 cells, set in an anime and fantasy world, where wins form from symbols rather than lines. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay, so no paylines decide a win. After each win the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in, which the game calls a tumble. Each tumble can make a new win, and the total from one sequence is paid together.
Four or more scatters start 15 free spins on special purple starfield reels. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 spins. A total multiplier builds from multiplier orb hits over the round and multiplies later wins. The Ante Bet costs 1.25 times the bet and doubles the natural chance of free spins, while Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the total bet.
Bonus rules
Most players wonder how the bonus starts, and how a multiplier carries through the round.
Switch on the Ante Bet (Double Chance) toggle before a spin. It raises the bet from 20 to 25 coins (1.25x cost). The natural chance to trigger Free Spins doubles, and scatters appear more often on the reels.
Standard betExtra scatter chance
Landing 4+ SCATTER anywhere starts the round with 15 spins on special purple starfield reels. During the round, 3+ scatter retriggers +5 spins. A persistent Total Multiplier collects hits from multiplier orbs across the whole round and multiplies subsequent wins.
Base game15 free spins
Each spin uses a 6x5 grid of 30 cells. Symbols pay anywhere on the grid, with no fixed paylines. After each win, the winning symbols tumble out and new ones cascade in. Multiplier orbs can land during a winning tumble sequence and multiply the whole sequence win.

Clear path to payout
Zodiac Casino lists each step with its figures, so the round is clear before the first spin.
A$0.20 to A$300 is the bet range, and the player picks one before the first spin. Every cost, win and feature in the round is counted from this single stake.
Eight matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay, with no fixed paylines. A winning group clears, and new symbols tumble in to form the next win.
Tumble runs after every win, and a multiplier orb can hit during the sequence. A hit multiplies the total win of that whole tumble sequence.
4+ SCATTER symbols anywhere start the Free Spins, with 15 spins on purple starfield reels. 3+ SCATTER symbols during the round retrigger for 5 more spins.
The bet from A$0.20 up to A$300 sets the cost of each spin, so the budget set beforehand decides how long the session runs. Nothing in advance shows when the session ends.
4+ SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the bonus round, and nobody can say in advance how often that happens. A session can pass with no trigger or with several. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, because RTP describes the average over a very long run, not the next spins.
96.49 and 96.50 are the two RTP versions of Starlight Princess 1000, a gap of 0.01 percentage points. Which of them runs on Zodiac Casino is shown only in the game rules, so read those before you bet.
15,000 times the bet is the maximum win of Starlight Princess 1000, which is A$75,000 at an A$5 bet. The ceiling is reached very rarely, and no one can say in advance when a session gets near it. Read it as the limit of the paytable, not as a target.

Starlight Princess 1000 FAQ
This section settles bets, the top win, RTP, volatility and whether the bonus can be bought.
The lowest bet is A$0.20 and the highest is A$300. Turning on the Ante Bet raises each stake by 1.25 times, so an A$5 bet costs A$6.25.

The game runs in two RTP versions, 96.49% and 96.50%. RTP is the return to player over a long run, so it does not set what one session pays.
The volatility is high, so wins can arrive in long gaps and larger swings are possible. No one can know in advance how often wins or the bonus will come.
