Seeing is believing

Bright and cheerful, this slot combines fairy tale magic with a frog theme to great effect. Upon a background of lily pads floating on swirling turquoise water, you’ll see majestic letters and picturesque symbols, from the frog prince himself to the princess, and of course the grand castle, standing tall above the trees and fields.

The graphics have a hand-drawn quality to them, rather than the more cartoon-like look common in a lot of newer slots. They mimic the traditional illustrations present in fairy tales themselves, and it really adds to the theme. However, like most video slots from Eyecon, there’s little in the way of sound. Whether this is a benefit or drawback is of course largely a matter of personal opinion, but truthfully it doesn’t feel like a great loss – the graphics are more than enough to immerse us into this magical world.

Meeting the characters

It won’t take those with less experience very long to get their head around the workings of this Eyecon slot. There are five reels, each with three symbols, and 25 paylines in total. When deciding on your wager, you can play with as many or as little paylines as you like, up to this number, and they all go from the leftmost reel rightwards. The RTP, or return-to-player of Enchanted Prince is 94.995%, which is around average, but there are plenty of slots with higher percentages. This slot has low-to-medium volatility, meaning that frequency of wins is slightly prioritised over size of wins – there’s a lower risk here.

Look out for the frog prince – the scatter symbol, he pays out too, and wins here are multiplied by the total wager. If you get five scatter symbols, you can win £50 from a £1 bet! However, there are quite a few other symbols to have a look at. The most valuable is the princess, as you could win £96 from the same £1 bet, but the castle, heart, water lily and lily pad symbols are also worth looking out for too.

Going into the wild

Free games are the main bonus feature on offer here, and you’ve got every chance of activating them! You just need to find three, four or five scattered frog symbols anywhere on the play board at once, and you’ll receive 15, 20 or 25 free games respectively. You can retrigger them a maximum of 15 times too, while they use the same paylines and wager as the triggering game. Meanwhile, there’s a wild symbol too, in the form of a crown. The crown symbol substitutes for all symbols apart from the scattered frog symbol, and when it appears as part of a winning combination it will double the win!

However, there’s also a Gamble Bonus, if you’re feeling particularly ready to take a risk. It pays double or nothing on the last one, and all you need to do to win is pick the correct selection when you’re faced with two. The Gamble Bonus will continue until either you decide to take the win, your next win would exceed £32,000, you make five correct selections, or you get a selection wrong. Each bonus round is an independent event, so feel free to back out whenever you like!

Conclusion

Enchanted Prince won’t be the most thrilling game you’ll play, but if you’re looking to get lost in something a little more slow-paced, it could well fit the bill. The RTP of 94.995% might not be eye-catching, but the low-to-medium volatility makes this slot suitable for less-experienced players and those looking to avoid too much risk – the gameplay and bonus features are pretty standard, so this is definitely one for fans of classic fairy tales in particular.
