Crystal Prince Review

The stated core idea behind this game was to create a seasonal winter slot for all players, without pushing any kind of belief system along with it (like christmas etc). Based on a Scandinavian folklore most have not heard about, Crystal Prince slot comes with simpler visuals than usual from this developer, but this puts the reels more in focus. The gameplay might seem a bit complicated at first, but it doesn’t take all that long to get into the swing of things.

Place bets between 20p and £100 per spin, and watch the rows being piled on as you keep building your way to the top like some kind of ice block mason. Sure, the volatility can give your bankroll a serious case of frostbite if you allow yourself to drift off with the soothing soundtrack, and the charming Prince might just rob you snowblind. However, this is a well-made winterland title that delivers engaging gameplay and a rock solid potential.

Crystal Prince Features

You trigger the Snowfall feature whenever a winning combo is landed. You will then see a new row of symbols land on top of the 4 standard rows. This goes on as long as you keep landing new winners. Naturally, each extra row you land will also expand the number of winning ways. Here is an overview:

• 4 rows equals 4,096 ways to win
• 5 rows equals 15,625 ways to win
• 6 rows equals 46,656 ways to win
• 7 rows equals 117,649 ways to win
• 8 rows equals 262,144 ways to win

The 8th row on top comes with a frozen Blizzard Seal. If you manage to fill it, you’ll see the Prince fly up there to break the seal and trigger the Blizzard mode.

This adds 1 to 3 wild multipliers (2x and 3x) to the grid, and all winning symbols, wilds, high value symbols and scatters will now become frozen in place. The rest of the symbols are removed, and you get a new cascade dropping from above. This goes on as long as you keep winning.

The Wild Frost bonus round is triggered by landing at least 3 scatters anywhere on the reels.

Each win adds a new row to the grid just like in the base game, and landing 2 scatters on the same spin gives you 3 extra free spins. There is no upper limit as to how many spins you can add to your tally here, and multiplier wilds can multiply with each other for potentially massive wins. In some jurisdictions (not the UK), you can opt to buy the bonus round for 60x your stake.

The 200 Spins Crystal Prince Experience

We had good fun with Crystal Prince in our 200 spins test session, and after a longer period of base game grind our luck finally turned. First we managed to get all the way to the 8th row and trigger the Blizzard feature, and then we decided to buy the bonus round. Okay, the latter was perhaps not strictly due to luck, but you catch our drift. Anyway, check out all the highlights in our brief video below.

Review Summary

Just like Seinfeld’s father famously wanted to create a “Festivus for the rest of us” as an alternative to Christmas, Quickspin’s stated goal with Crystal Prince was to create “a winter game for everyone”. There is no doubt that they have succeeded with this ambition, and in a typical Quickspin manner they’ve also managed to squeeze some innovation into the mix.

The baseline “Snowfall mechanic” of adding new rows for each win is cleverly done, and the Blizzard Seal on top gives you something to reach for outside of the bonus round.

Pros

• Innovative snowfall mechanic add rows for each win
• Blizzard Mode with 1 to 3 multiplier wilds and cascading wins
• Bonus round with 1 to 4 wilds/multiplier wilds on each spin
• Medium to high volatility and 11,630x max win potential

Cons

• The “complicated” mechanics might put off som players
