Sunlight Princess Review
3 Oaks are arguably the most active studio when it comes to Hold and Win slots, and there’s just no stopping these guys and girls in that respect. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the Sunlight Princess slot that the team launched in January 2023. It takes place on a classic playing field with 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 paylines, and it’s certainly a fun game overall!
Thematically, Sunlight Princess takes players to what’s a fairly classic Ancient Egypt setting, and the designers did a very good job overall. The slot’s graphics are by no means cutting-edge, but they are of a high standard, and we’d especially like to highlight the designs of the various symbols.

Mathematically speaking, Sunlight Princess is a highly volatile affair, but you can win up to 10,345x your bet if everything goes your way, so there’s certainly a lot to play for. The absolute minimum that you can risk is £0.25 per spin, while the game’s max bet stands at £20. Unfortunately, the theoretical Sunlight Princess is on the lower side of the spectrum, clocking in at just 95.52%.
Sunlight Princess Slot Features
Sunlight Princess offers just 8 pay symbols, and they are split evenly between low pays and high pays. For the former, there are card ranks from Jacks to Aces, which pay 2x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. For the latter, there are snake amulets, ankhs, dove necklaces, and cats. Cats are the slot’s top-paying symbols, and you’ll get 10x your stake if you manage to find a full combo.
In addition to pay symbols, there are also Princess Wilds, Temple Scatters, and various Sun Bonus symbols. Princess Wilds can substitute for any of the game’s pay symbols in winning combos, and they also come with their very own payout values. If you land 5 Princess Wilds on one of the game’s paylines, you’ll get a nice 12x payout!
Sunlight Princess Slot – Free Spins
If you manage to land 3 Temple Scatters in view, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with a set of 8 free spins. Retriggers are possible, but the even more important detail is that you cannot land any low pays on the reels during free spins.
Finding 6 or more Sun Bonus symbols in view then leads to the Bonus Game, which is all about landing more Sun Bonus symbols, Super Sun Bonus symbols, Jackpot Sun Bonus symbols, and Mystery Sun Bonus symbols. You can get more spins, and also get to the Super Bonus Game with improved wins.
Jackpot Sun Bonus symbols are there to net you one of the game’s fixed jackpots. There are 5 of those in total, and Jackpot Sun Bonus symbols are your tickets to four of them. The jackpots in question are called Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, and they are worth 20x, 50x, 150x, and 2,000x your bet, respectively. The top Royal jackpot, which is worth 10,000x your stake, is then waiting for players that manage to fill the entire board with Sun Bonus symbols!
As for the aforementioned Mystery Sun Bonus symbols, these can transform into Jackpot Sun Bonus symbols or Super Sun Bonus symbols.
