Phoenix Princess by GameArt

Provider: GameArt | Type: Video Slot | RTP: 95.42% | Max Win: ~3,000× stake

Phoenix Princess is a GameArt original built around Chinese mythology, centering on an immortal phoenix and the princess it accompanies. Released in 2015, it carries the studio's signature approach: rich gold and violet colour palette, detailed hand-drawn symbols, and a high-volatility math model that rewards patience. Five reels, 20 paylines, and a Free Spins feature that genuinely transforms the grid distinguish it from the era's more template-driven releases. During Free Spins, most premium symbols convert to additional Wilds — a mechanic that turns an already high-volatility game into something capable of significant cluster wins.

Game Overview

How to Play

1. Set your bet between $0.20 and $100 per spin

2. Press Spin — five reels land across three rows on 20 fixed paylines

3. Wins form left to right; the Yin Yang Wild substitutes for all symbols except the Phoenix Scatter

4. Three or more Phoenix Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels (they need not appear on a payline) trigger 8 Free Spins

5. During Free Spins, the Princess, Palace, Vase, and Flower symbols transform into additional Wild symbols — dramatically increasing the density of Wilds on the grid

6. Free Spins can retrigger if additional Phoenix Scatters land during the feature

Key Features

Yin Yang Wild The primary Wild, substituting for all regular symbols. It is also the single highest-paying symbol in the base game — five of a kind pays up to 150× the total bet. This double function makes Wild-rich spins especially valuable.

Phoenix Scatter Three or more Phoenix symbols anywhere on the reels trigger Free Spins, regardless of payline position. The scatter trigger requirement is lenient by classic slot standards, with the Phoenix appearing on all five reels.

Free Spins with Expanding Wilds Eight free spins play out with a crucial rule change: the Princess, Palace, golden Vase, and Lotus Flower symbols all become additional Wild symbols for the duration of the feature. This can produce a grid with a very high proportion of Wilds — the primary mechanism for the game's largest potential wins.

Retrigger Additional Phoenix Scatters during Free Spins award more free spins, potentially extending the high-Wild feature across many additional rounds.
