Koi Princess Bonus Features
There are plenty of different features. Let us describe them for you.
Bonus Bet. For every spin, a Bonus Bet option can be activated. The price of a spin doubles when this option is turned on. When the Bonus Bet is activated, you are more likely to receive a Random Feature, a Bonus Feature, and increasing sure coin wins for Sure Win Free Spins.
There is also a chance to randomly trigger one of four random features during the main game which will play out as follows: Three different carp suddenly jump out of the pond and you need to choose one of these fish to see which of the following features will be triggered:
- 5-hit. The player receives 1 spin with a 5-symbol win guarantee when the 5-hit Random Feature is activated, with a random symbol on the reels.
- Random Wilds. As part of the Random Wilds Feature, the player will get one spin during which between 4 and 9 Overlay Wilds will be arranged in a random fashion on the reels.
- Wild Reels. The player who activates this bonus is awarded one spin in which anywhere from two to five of the reels will be completely taken up by Wild Symbols.
- Bonus Game Activation. When a player activates this feature, they will be awarded one spin that includes three Bonus symbols as well as an extra Bonus Feature that is chosen at random.
If you spin the reels and happen to acquire three Bonus symbols on the first and third reels at the same time, you will activate a bonus round that is completely random. There's a small chance that a Bonus Feature will occur when the reel set has symbols outside the visible area. This would happen if two Bonus symbols were on the reels after you spin, and any bet line wins. The following granting of a Random Feature may also trigger the activation of one of four Bonus Features.
- Sure Win Free Spins. With this feature, players are given 10 of them straight away. For the free spins sequence, except for the initial spin when a payout is determined by what's wagered, every spin will be at least equal to the highest payout on all of the previous spins. (The multiplier for 20 coins is 1 if you're betting in Standard Mode. The multiplier for 40 coins is 2 if you're betting in Bonus Bet Mode). There is also a chance to get additional free spins during this feature.
- Wild Reels Free Spins. You’ll be awarded with 10 Free Spins with a special function when you trigger this game. Additional bonus rounds can't be won again during that bonus feature. During this feature, there is a certain chance that random reels are selected to have Wild symbols overlayed on them. After each spin, their quantity and position may be changed.
- Bonus Wheel. In this feature, you can spin for coins and also unlock 2 other bonus features: Wild Reels Free Spins and Sure Win Free Spins. This feature is a 1-tier wheel, divided into 12 evenly spaced locations. To navigate the wheel, the player clicks the dice.
- Coin Win. The player receives an immediate coin win by activating this feature.
As you can see, players that enjoy additional features will find a lot of exciting action.
Our Experience Playing Koi Princess
When we began the game, we were met with a Japanese girl who looked adorable on the left side of the screen, symbols that resembled cartoons on the reels, and music with an eastern flavor. Even though we had heard a lot of positive things about this slot machine, we still wanted to test it out to see whether it really paid out. We made our customary deposit of 200 Euros, set the bet to 1 Euro, and started our first one hundred spins. On our twelfth spin we collected 3 Scatters and started the bonus round, the Bonus Wheel gave us the Sure Win Free Spins. The first bonus round paid us 30 Euros which was not particularly a lot, but still decent enough. After our initial one hundred spins, with the help of the bonus round and a few respectable winnings here and there, we ended up losing a total of just 14 euros in the end. Over the course of our next one hundred spins, we did not manage to trigger any Free Spins but the main game was quite generous in terms of payouts, making our balance go up to 204 Euros in the end. The remaining one hundred spins of our session were packed with exciting events, we once again got three Scatters, and the Bonus Wheel awarded us the Wild Reels Free Spins, which resulted in a substantial payout of 136 Euros. The total amount of money left in our account after all was said and done was 298 Euros, and we were quite satisfied with how everything worked out for us.
