🌈 Rainbow Princess: Slot Overview
Anime-style slots still make up a relatively niche part of the market, but it’s a niche that’s growing — and fast. While Moon Princess from Play’n GO remains the crown jewel of the genre, other studios like Pragmatic Play (Starlight Princess 1000) and Hacksaw Gaming (Aiko and the Wind Spirit) are building up the category with their own magical heroines.
Enter Rainbow Princess, Hacksaw Gaming’s cluster-paying, anime-inspired follow-up to Aiko. While Aiko had its own dreamy, storybook charm, Rainbow Princess leans harder into classic anime tropes — think long-legged princesses, ethereal clouds, and fantasy backstories powered by “stardust, gems, and ancient forces.”
Visually, it’s unmistakably anime — a floating heroine flanks the grid, backed by a pastel dreamscape high above the clouds. The theme might not be groundbreaking, but it’s clearly designed to appeal to fans of the genre. For everyone else, the presentation is polished enough to entertain, even if you’re not brushing up on magical-girl lore.
While the visuals wear their inspiration on their sleeve, Rainbow Princess still promises original features and Hacksaw’s signature gameplay flair, offering more than just an anime reskin.
🎰 How Rainbow Princess Works
Rainbow Princess plays out on a 6×5 cluster-pay grid and carries a medium volatility profile — a sweet spot for players looking for balanced gameplay between risk and reward. Bets range from €0.10 to €100 per spin, and, in typical Hacksaw fashion, several feature buy options are available for those who prefer to jump straight into the action. The top theoretical RTP clocks in at 96.36%, although this may vary depending on region or casino settings.
Wins are formed when 5 or more identical symbols connect horizontally or vertically, triggering the game’s signature Super Cascade mechanic. When a cluster hits, all instances of that symbol type are removed from the board, even if they weren’t part of the winning cluster. This makes room for new symbols to drop in and possibly retrigger wins — a chain reaction that continues until no more clusters appear.
There are 10 different paying symbols in total, with payouts ranging from 0.1x for small wins to up to 100x for clusters of 15 or more. A wild symbol steps in to substitute for any regular pay symbol, helping players build even bigger clusters as the grid evolves with each drop.
✨ Magic Multipliers & Bonus Features in Rainbow Princess
Rainbow Princess isn’t just about dreamy visuals — its core gameplay is elevated by Magic Frame Multipliers, Aurora Gems, and three distinct bonus rounds, two of which are available via feature buy.
🔮 Magic Frame Multipliers
These multipliers can appear during any spin or cascade — as long as there’s at least one winning cluster. Each Magic Frame shows a multiplier from x2 to x100 and activates if it becomes part of a winning combo. If multiple frames connect to the same win, their values are added together and applied to the total payout.
-
Persistent during cascades: Frames don’t move and double in value each time they contribute to another win within the same spin.
-
Once cascades end, all frames are cleared before the next spin begins.
💎 Aurora Gems
Aurora Gems may drop in during cascades and activate before wins are awarded. When triggered, they multiply all existing Magic Frame Multipliers by x2 to x10. Only one Gem can land per cascade, and it vanishes after use.
🧚♀️ Bonus Rounds
👑 Tiara Treasure (10 Free Spins)
Triggered by 3 FS scatters, this mode keeps base mechanics but adds Sticky Progressive Magic Frame Multipliers. These stay locked in place across spins and continue to grow via wins or Aurora Gems.
-
Land 2 or 3 FS scatters during the round to gain +2 or +4 extra spins.
🌈 Make It Rainbow (10 Free Spins)
Triggered by 4 FS scatters, this bonus includes everything from Tiara Treasure plus the Rainbow Rush Bar. Each cluster win fills the bar — and when it maxes out, 3–5 wilds are randomly added to the grid before resetting.
⭐ Throne of Starlight (Hidden Bonus)
Hit 5 FS scatters to unlock this epic round. Every position starts with a Sticky Magic Frame Multiplier, each beginning at x4 or higher. FS symbols don’t land during this bonus, so there’s no retriggering — it’s full throttle from the start.
💰 Feature Buy Options

BonusHunt Spins – 2x bet: 3x chance of triggering a bonus game
-
Magic Mode Spins – 50x bet: Guarantees 1+ win and 5 Magic Frame Multipliers per spin

🌈 Rainbow Princess: Slot Verdict
Rainbow Princess might have landed with more impact had Aiko and the Wind Spirit not already marked Hacksaw Gaming’s entry into anime-style slots. But now, with a second release in quick succession, it looks like the studio is more than just flirting with the genre — they’re investing in it. Whether this becomes a lasting trend or a brief experiment remains to be seen, but Rainbow Princess certainly feels like a more traditional take on anime slots, visually aligning with the likes of Moon Princess or Starlight Princess.
Gameplay-wise, though, Rainbow Princess leans closer to Sugar Rush than anything in the magical girl category. Both games use cluster pays and position-based multipliers that grow with consecutive wins. However, how those multipliers enter the grid sets them apart:
-
In Sugar Rush, positions are marked with multipliers after any winning tumble.
-
In Rainbow Princess, Magic Frame Multipliers appear randomly on wins and can start with values as high as x100.
Add in the Aurora Gem, which boosts all current multipliers by up to x10, and you’ve got a system that, while familiar, introduces a nice twist. The bonus rounds also feel more layered here — from the sticky multiplier setups of Tiara Treasure to the escalating wild drops in Make it Rainbow, and the all-out chaos of Throne of Starlight, where every position begins with a multiplier.
With a solid 10,000x win potential, animated flair, and cluster mechanics that fans of Sugar Rush will likely enjoy, Rainbow Princess brings enough to the table to satisfy both anime lovers and bonus feature hunters. It’s a smooth continuation of Hacksaw’s creative streak, even if it borrows from familiar formulas.
