A Look at the Koi Princess Slot from NetEnt

Added: December 28, 2015

There are very few Manga themed slot machines available online today, but there is one that is definitely worth trying to track down. The Koi Princess online slot arrived in casinos on November 24th, 2015, and this Manga-art-inspired slot was developed by an industry award-winning online casino software provider called NetEnt AB (formerly Net Entertainment NE AB).

The lowest cost per spin on this game is just 0.20 coins and there is no way that you can adjust the number of paylines each spin is played with. Increasing the bet level and the coin value to the maximum amount allowed means that high rollers can spend up to 200.00 coins per spin. However, you can increase this bet range even further by having the Bonus Bet Option ACTIVATED.

Activating this feature will double the cost of the spin, which means that you can actually spend up to as much as 400.00 coins per spin. Having this Bonus Bet Option activated will also increase the chance of triggering a Random Feature or a Bonus Feature, so we do recommend activating it activated if you can afford it. The lowest cost per spin with this feature active is therefore 0.40 coins and not 0.20 coins. Having it active will also increase the values on the Bonus Wheel and it will also increase sure win coins in the Sure Win Free Spins Bonus Round.

“Koi Princess is a beautifully designed Manga-inspired slot that includes more features than ever before,” said the Chief Product Officer of NetEnt, Simon Hammon. He continued, “With this thrilling multichannel release, NetEnt has delivered on an Asian promise of more excitement and ways to win, whether that’s on desktop, retail or mobile.” We took these comments from the official NetEnt website.

The four Random Features include 5-Hit (a guaranteed 5-of-a-kind-win), Random Wilds, Wild Reels and the Bonus Activation Feature. A Random Bonus Feature can also be awarded when a Bonus Symbol lands in any position on reels 1, 3 and 5. These Bonus Features include Sure Win Free Spins, Wild Reels Free Spins, a Coin Win and the Bonus Wheel. All of these exciting Random Features and Bonus Features guarantee some kind of win once triggered.

We definitely recommend checking this action & feature packed slot out as soon as you get the chance. This game can now be found at more than 60 fully licensed NetEnt powered casinos and some of our favourite NetEnt casinos include bet365 Vegas, bgo Vegas, Mr Green Casino, Casumo Casino, Vera & John Casino, Betfair Arcade and Slots Magic.

NetEnt always strives to design and build games that excite players and fulfil the requirements of our customers,” said NetEnt’s Chief Product Officer, Simon Hammon. We took these comments directly from a recent NetEnt press release.

NetEnt was also in the headlines when a 30-year-old Swedish player hit a world-record-breaking €8.6m jackpot while playing on a NetEnt mobile slot called Mega Fortune Touch in November. “I was totally speechless and couldn’t believe what was happening. It was late and my wife had already gone to bed, but I had to wake her up and celebrate,” said the lucky winner. He then went on to say, “I’m going to lay low to begin with, but I’ll make sure my mortgage is paid and treat myself to some exciting holidays. It will probably be difficult to avoid buying a new car!”

Lots of new online slot machines recently arrived in casinos and are now widely available in the real money mode and in the free play demo mode. Microgaming launched a new mobile slot called Lucky Koi, as well as four new desktop pokies including Bullseye, Star Dust, Serenity and Christmas Holidays.
