The Masked Prince Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Game theme & storyline

During the Joseon dynasty in 18th-century Korea, the royal family finds itself manipulated by unscrupulous ministers hellbent on exploiting the people of the region. Determined to stay alive, protect his people and fight back against the cabal controlling the palace, the young prince dons a mask so that he can travel freely and gain the strength and power to fight back.

This is the story behind The Masked Prince from SimplePlay Free Slots. It is a beautiful 5x4 slot with an unusual theme and three free spin bonuses.

Graphics & sound

SimplePlay does a nice line in Asian-themed slots with stunning graphics, with The Masked Prince no exception. The attention to detail in the graphics is exquisite, while the use of stacked symbols to represent the major characters - the prince, princesses and chief minister - allows the narrative to shine. The highly detailed background contributes further to the immersive quality of this slot.

The soundtrack is soothing with an atmospheric and cinematic quality that serves to further enhance the overall quality of this gorgeous game.

How to play

The gameplay in The Masked Prince will be familiar to players of payline slots. Land combos of three or more matching symbols on a payline to earn a payout in multiples of your stake. To play your game, select a stake you are comfortable with and hit the spin button.

There are nine standard symbols in the paytable, including six beautifully drawn royals and the minister who appear expanded on the reels. You can’t miss the wilds on offer in this slot as there are four of them, including the red-clad prince with his gold mask and the blue-robed prince and his silver mask. These perform the usual substitution duties for all symbols and serve to unlock the three free spin bonuses available in this game.

Setting your bet size and your game personalisation options couldn’t be easier and we like the way you can control your options with sliders in addition to buttons. The set-up is fast and efficient, with the turbo option, autospins up to infinity and max bet option clustered around the spin button.

Bet sizes & maximum win

This game allows you to get quite granular when it comes to selecting your paylines and wagers, which are controlled by a clever slider. Pick a coin size between 0.05 and 0.50 for a choice of bets from as little as 0.05 per spin playing one payline to a maximum bet of 250.00 over all 50 lines.

The maximum win can run into six figures if you land the Grand Jackpot; however, dedicated jackpot hunters will be aware of how difficult this can be. In the base game, you are looking at a maximum payout of 1,000x your stake when you land five of a kind wild symbols, which is also difficult to achieve.

Bonus features

This challenging slot features three free spins bonuses, all of which can only be triggered from the base game.

Free spins bonus 1: land three, four of five of the red-robed prince icons to trigger 8, 15 or 30 free spins. You will also be awarded 100x, 500x or 1,000x your stake for landing three, four or five of a kind symbols.

Free spins bonus 2: this is identical to free spins bonus 1 except it is triggered by landing three or more blue-robed prince symbols.

Free spins bonus 3: landing a combination of wild 1 and wild 2 symbols will automatically trigger this free spins bonus. You will earn 8, 15 or 30 spins but instead of a payout for landing three or more symbols, all wins are subject to a 2x multiplier to double your winnings.

None of the free spins bonus rounds can be retriggered.

RTP & volatility

The RTP of a slot is an indication of the long-term return a player could expect by matching the spin frequency and bet denomination of the software developer. This should be taken as a guideline only and represents a theoretical payout of 96.38 credits for every 100 wagered.

Volatility is a measure of the frequency of potential wins. In a high volatility slot such as The Masked Prince, you can expect infrequent high value wins from the free spins bonus rounds.

Our verdict

This is another gorgeous looking slot from SimplePlay with a compelling narrative and beautiful sounds and graphics. It is packed with bonus features, such as three free spins rounds. These are essentially the same, with up to 30 free spins on offer - the only difference is that if you trigger the free spins bonus with a mix of the two wild symbols, you will also be awarded a 2x multiplier on every win.

As part of the SimplePlay progressive jackpot network, this slot obviously has massive potential and there are some useful base game prizes up to 1,000x for five of a kind wilds. You will struggle to land one of the free spins features, which makes this a beautiful but frustrating play.
