The Masked Prince (SimplePlay) – Review & Demo Play

Game theme & storyline in The Masked Prince

Set during the Joseon dynasty, The Masked Prince follows a young royal who hides his face to move among his people while corrupt ministers pull palace strings. The theme leans on an Asian backdrop with a 5x4 layout and 50 paylines. Key characters appear as stacked symbols, which helps the tale play out on the reels. I found the story adds purpose to the free spins chase, tying the red and blue princes to the features without slowing the game.

Graphics & sound in The Masked Prince

SimplePlay’s art is sharp and detailed, with the prince, two princesses, and the chief minister standing tall as stacked symbols. The background is rich and supports the period feel, while the interface keeps the focus on the reels. Animations are clean, so spins clip along nicely even when stacks land together. I liked how the character sets tell the story without clutter.

The soundtrack is soothing and cinematic, matching the measured pace of a high volatility slot. It sits under the action rather than taking over and works well for long sessions. Effects are restrained, which suits a game built around stacked character hits and feature bursts. The overall presentation feels polished and consistent with the narrative.

How to play The Masked Prince

Gameplay will suit anyone who knows payline slots. Wins land for three or more matching symbols from the left on a payline. You can adjust paylines from 1 to 50, pick coins from 0.01 to 0.50, and set a line bet between 1 and 10, giving a total bet from 0.50 to 250 per spin. Controls include a slick slider, turbo, autospins up to infinity, and a max bet button, all clustered around the spin.

There are nine standard symbols covering royals and characters. Two wilds do the heavy lifting. Wild 1 is the Gold Mask and Wild 2 is the Silver Mask. Both substitute for all symbols, appear on all reels, and have their own pays. Wilds also connect directly to the free spins features, so you are always watching for mask clusters in the base game.

Bet sizes & maximum win in The Masked Prince

The betting model offers granular control with adjustable lines and coin steps, topped by a max bet of 250 on all 50 lines. I prefer the slider for quick tweaks. The headline base hit is five of a kind wilds, which pays up to 1,000x your stake, though it is a tough catch. The Masked Prince also sits on a progressive jackpot network with a Grand Jackpot that can reach six figures, but that is a rare sight.

Bonus features in The Masked Prince

There are three free spins bonuses, all triggered from the base game. Each one keys off how the wild masks land. This makes the features feel connected to the theme rather than bolted on. In practice, you are chasing clusters of Gold Mask, Silver Mask, or a mixture, and the best outcomes appear when stacks line up with those wilds.

Free Game Feature 1 triggers by landing three, four, or five Gold Mask symbols for 8, 15, or 30 free spins. Free Game Feature 2 mirrors that with the Silver Mask. For both, you also pick up 100x, 500x, or 1,000x your stake when three, four, or five of the triggering wilds land. None of these free spins rounds can be retriggered, so front-loaded setups matter.

Free Game Feature 3 arrives when a mixture of Gold and Silver Mask symbols triggers the round. You again get 8, 15, or 30 free spins, but this mode applies a 2x multiplier to every win. During free spins, when the Gold Mask substitutes for the red prince or the Silver Mask substitutes for the blue prince, their pays are doubled, which can push stacked character hits much higher.

RTP & volatility in The Masked Prince

The RTP sits at 96.38 per cent on a high volatility model. That means the game pays in bursts and the features carry most of the weight. In my sessions, the base game ticked along on stacked character lines with long dry spells between bigger hits. When features arrived, wins jumped fast, especially in the mixed wild free spins with the 2x blanket multiplier. Bankroll swings are real, so patience helps.

Our verdict on The Masked Prince

This is a handsome slot with a clear story, two distinct wilds, and three free spins paths. The stacked character approach gives the reels a strong rhythm, and the mixed wild feature with a 2x multiplier can produce standout runs. The progressive layer adds long-shot appeal, while the base 1,000x wild line is the realistic ceiling if jackpots are not your thing.

I like the control scheme with sliders, turbo, and unlimited autospins, which keeps play smooth. Triggers can be stubborn, so it can feel frustrating during lean spells, but the maths stays consistent with high volatility aims. If you fancy an Asian-themed 5x4 with 50 lines, three free spins modes, and a jackpot carrot, The Masked Prince is well worth a spin.
