Princess of Paradise Slots

Author: GamblingSites.org | Last Updated: December 2023

High 5 Games released the Princess of Paradise slot game in
2009. The game draws inspiration from adventure stories set in
the wild jungles of Africa, Asia, and South America where lost
cities and temples are guarded by secret warriors, wild animals,
and the jungles themselves.

Princess of Paradise uses split symbols to make players’
experiences more interesting. The Bonus game also brings a
different set of reels to the gaming experience.

The game was originally released to land-based casinos but
has since been launched on the Web, in mobile apps, and through
RMG Online.

Gameplay Features and Mechanics

High 5 Games’ Princess of Paradise is a 5-reel, 3-row video
slot game with 30 pay lines. Prizes are paid only from left to
right. The game’s jungle theme is expressed through the tile
backgrounds, the game screen background, and the characters of
the high- and mid-value symbols used in the game.

Game Symbols

Princess of Paradise uses split symbols, where some of the
tiles have double value, thus reducing the number of required
adjacent tiles to form winning combinations while increasing the
number of possible winning combinations.

There are two special symbols in the game:

• The Wild, which is the Princess of Paradise logo
• The Bonus Game trigger, which is a golden flower

The Wild symbol substitutes for all others symbols in the
game except the golden flower. It’s also the highest value tile
in the game. The maximum winning combination of five of a kind
on any active pay line pays 10,000 credits.

Credits are valued at 0.01, which technically makes Princess
of Paradise a penny slot. Awarded prizes are denoted in whole
credits which are then multiplied by the Bet per line amount.

The golden flower also acts as a Scatter symbol and it is the
only symbol that awards a prize in terms of a multiple of the
full bet. If four Scatter symbols result from a spin the player
is awarded twice their bet as the Scatter prize.

The Princess can appear in winning combinations ranging from
3 adjacent tiles to 10. This is accomplished on 5 reels with the
split (double) symbols. You’ll see two girls on a single tile.
The lowest prize is for 3 of a kind and pays 10 credits per pay
line on which the winning combination occurs. The highest prize
is 2500 credits per pay line on which the winning combination
occurs.

The Orangutan, Cheetah, Zebra, and Parrot are the next four
high-value symbols. Their prizes range from 10 to 1000 credits
per pay line. Each of these symbols can appear as a single or
double (split) symbol.

The four remaining symbols are low-value and consist of the
“A”, “K”, “Q”, and “J”. Each uses a stylized background of
jungle leaves.

Game Controls

The game controls line the bottom of the screen. From left to
right they are:

Lines (pay lines)

Use the up and down arrows to scroll
through 1, 5, 9, 15, and 30.

Per line (bet)

Use the up and down arrows to scroll
through 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 1.00, 2.00, 5.00, and 10.00.
You’ll see the total amount of your next wager to the right
of the Bet Per Line control.

Credits

The Credits window displays the total of the
last spin’s prizes and your remaining available credits.

Replay

The Replay button allows you to watch the
previous spin again. This feature is popular with players
who like to share pictures and videos of their big wins.

Question mark

This brings up the pay table (help
screen system), which consists of 19 screens. The first
screen up explains how the bonus game is triggered.

Sound

The sound control toggles the volume on or off.
With online versions of the game you’ll be able to adjust
your machine’s volume but in a land-based casino you only
have the two choices.

Auto Play

This button is standard on all High 5 Games
video slots. Clicking on the button allows you to choose
from 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 games. The wager amount is
deducted from your available credits at the beginning of
each spin. The Auto Play button serves as its own Stop
button so that you can prevent the game from depleting your
balance if you forget to adjust your bet amount.

Spin

The Spin button counts down the remaining spins
in your auto play. It also acts as a Stop button for
animations, which play automatically when you win prizes.
You cannot change the outcome of a spin by clicking Stop.
The results of each spin are determined as soon as you click
Spin. Using the Stop feature just saves time by quickly
ending or preventing the animations from playing.

In a land-based casino, you should reset the betting options
as soon as you sit down at a machine to avoid making wagers
higher than you normally would. The machines do not reset.
Online versions of the game default to 30 active pay lines with
a low bet-per-line value.

Triggering the Bonus Round

The Bonus Game is triggered by one of several combinations of
the Scatter symbol (the golden flower). This symbol only appears
on reels 2, 3, and 4. You need at least 5 flowers to initiate
the Bonus Game. You can get a maximum of 6 flowers, but if you
roll up 5 or 6 flowers the Scatter prize is only paid for the
first four. When you enter the bonus game music starts playing
and the game’s background screen is replaced by a new image of a
lost city.

The number of Free Spins you win is determined by how many
flowers initiate the game.

• 5 flowers awards you 5 free spins
• 6 flowers awards you 10 free spins

The Bonus Game uses a different set of reels from the regular
game. The game cannot be re-triggered from within itself so
there are no golden flowers in the free spins.

The Wild symbol still substitutes for everything else.

The Orangutan in the regular game is replaced by a Chimpanzee
symbol but it pays the same amount as the regular symbol.

A Hippopotamus symbol replaces the regular game’s Cheetah, a
Giraffe replaces the regular game’s Zebra, and a Flamingo
replaces the Parrot.

The background for the “A”, “K”, “Q”, and “J” becomes a stone
wall.

Conclusion

As an older game Princess of Paradise lacks some of the more
interesting features of slots games that High 5 released after
2011 but it does fall into the category of early evolutionary
video slot games that were getting away from the simple
multi-pay line penny slots. The complicated Scatter/Free Games
rules represent an experimental phase in game design that has
given way to a less confusing structure in more up-to-date
games.

Nonetheless if you enjoy playing High 5 Games’ more recent
slot machines you should easily be able to understand how
Princess of Paradise works. The split symbols and reel
restrictions are still used in later game designs. The game also
celebrates big wins with a fireworks display, which is also
characteristic of later games. You really won’t find much
missing from this game’s style compared to more recent games,
except that there are far fewer animations. The tiles merely
flash at you when they contribute to prizes on active pay lines.

There is something to be said for looking at jungle flowers
and foliage. It can be relaxing and non-threatening in a
potentially stressful environment. Most players should enjoy
Princess of Paradise unless they just want to experience
something new.
