Cloud Princess Review
It's fascinating how certain slot games seem to spark entire subgenres, with a wave of releases following in their wake. The slot mechanic genre is a prime example, but now we're witnessing the rise of a mechanic genre, with many titles already in circulation. It is surprising to see a jump on the bandwagon with their Cloud Princess slot release.
Visually, Cloud Princess bears a resemblance to other games. However, the vibe is decidedly more ethereal than the cutesy inspiration. Both games showcase a princess amidst the clouds, a concept hinted at in the title of the release. A soothing melody enhances the otherworldly ambiance as the action unfolds on a 6x5 grid with a Pay Anywhere win system. Winning symbols include gemstones and jewelry, rewarding players for 19+ in view. You need a minimum of 8 matching symbols to trigger a win.
Unlike its source of inspiration, Cloud Princess offers medium volatility. With bet levels from €0.1 to €100 per spin, it caters to a wide spectrum of players. The hit frequency translates to a win approximately every 3rd spin on average. The cascading reels mechanic enables indefinite winning streaks, further fueled by 3 different multiplier symbols. All these multipliers are progressive, either increasing or doubling per cascade. This unique innovation also benefits you in the bonus rounds.
The regular Cloud Surge bonus round mirrors the base game, with additive progressive multipliers amplifying your cascading wins. In contrast, the Divine Boost bonus round features a progressive overall win multiplier that increases per winning cascade involving a multiplier symbol. It boosts all wins that include a multiplier symbol, but not those without. The RTP is above average, but be mindful of potential lower versions. While the max win doesn't match some games, remember that Cloud Princess boasts a more forgiving medium volatility.
Cloud Princess Features
You get cascading wins and 3 different progressive multiplier symbols in Cloud Princess, as well as 2 unique bonus rounds with different multiplier systems. Let’s see how it all works!
Cascading Reels
Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, making room for new and existing symbols to drop down to fill the gaps. This process repeats as long as you keep landing new wins, meaning indefinite winning streaks are possible.
Multiplier And Progressive Multiplier Symbols
Multiplier symbols accumulate per cascading sequence, and their values are added together to boost your total win from any spin or cascading sequence. However, there are 3 unique multiplier symbols in this game, and their values can reach as high as x10,000:
- Regular Multiplier Symbol - reveals values and increases per cascade.
- Super Multiplier Symbol - reveals values and increases per cascade.
- Epic Multiplier Symbol - reveals values and doubles per cascade.
Cloud Surge Free Spins
Landing 3 FS scatters in view on the same spin, or within the same cascading sequence, triggers the Cloud Surge Bonus Round with 10 free spins. Wins from cascading sequences accumulate just like multiplier symbol values, and the total win is then boosted by the total multiplier symbol value at the end of each cascade. You win extra free spins from scatters in view.
Divine Boost Free Spins
The Divine Boost Bonus Round triggers from 4 FS scatters on the same base game spin or within the same cascading sequence, awarding 10 free spins for starters. The Divine Multiplier collects all used multiplier symbol values, creating a progressive multiplier that collects all values multiplier values before it boosts your wins. However, this multiplier is only applied if you land a win with a multiplier symbol. You win extra free spins from scatters on the same spin or in the same cascading sequence.

Our Verdict
We were a bit surprised to see such an effort, as they usually pride themselves on their original creations. However, at least they have done it right. Unlike many developers who simply clone a game and change the visuals, the concept has been improved upon with innovative progressive multiplier symbols. This is a fantastic addition, and it wouldn't be surprising to see it implemented in many future releases.
The theme might echo other games, but it carries a distinct vibe. Personally, I prefer this release in terms of theme and music. The symbols are beautifully detailed, but it's not always easy to discern what they represent. Most seem to depict jewelry, but could have done a better job distinguishing them.
The gameplay mechanics will be familiar to anyone who has played popular titles, with Pay Anywhere cascading wins at the core of the experience. The progressive multiplier symbols, however, add a fresh dimension. While games offer higher potential multipliers, Cloud Princess can turn even lower multipliers into massive boosters with longer cascading sequences. A single multiplier symbol can reach a staggering amount, though this would require consecutive cascades starting with the doubling multiplier.
Of course, it's a huge advantage when these progressive multipliers contribute to the overall win multiplier in the top-tier bonus round. As in other games, you need to win with a multiplier symbol to benefit from the overall win multiplier though, which can be frustrating when you land regular wins without that extra boost. It's also worth noting that although not explicitly mentioned, the bonus buy menu hints at increased multiplier symbol action in both bonus rounds, something observed during testing.
Overall, Cloud Princess game is a welcome addition to the growing subgenre and a great example of how to execute successfully. As long as improvements are made, it contributes to the evolution of online slots. I thoroughly enjoyed testing Cloud Princess slot, and I appreciate that the medium volatility makes it more accessible than its more brutal inspirations. The potential is more than enough to make this a highly attractive game.
