Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis (Mascot Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Introduction to Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis

I have put plenty of spins into Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis and it fits my rotation. Mascot sets it on a 5x3 grid with 10 betways and a 0.20 to 50 stake range, so it suits quick sessions and longer runs. The hit frequency sits around 20.1, but the game leans high volatility, so dry spells happen. When the features line up, the slot can feel lively, helped by sticky wilds, win multipliers, and a straight free spins trigger.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack in Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis

I like how Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis drops me into opulence and intrigue. The reels sit in a gold frame against a cityscape, with a sunset sky and a dusting of stars. Symbols use a vibrant palette, which makes spotting the next line simple. The sound effects support the setting without fuss, so I keep the audio on. Some character faces lose a bit of fine detail, yet it never spoils the feel for me.

Each symbol looks distinct, from regal figures to coloured jewels, so the paytable theme ties in cleanly. The interface gives a central blue jewel spin button, plus autoplay and turbo if I want to pick up the pace. I can get to the rules, win lines and settings from the menu, and wins land in the box before the balance updates, which keeps tracking tidy. That flow keeps things clear between spins.

Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis RTP and Variance

Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis runs at 95.1% RTP and high volatility, so I expect swings. The 20.1 hit frequency points to stretches with few wins and the odd burst when features land. I keep stakes steady within the 0.20 to 50 range and let the game breathe, rather than chasing. Session length matters here; I plan for longer cycles or I stick to short tests when I only want a taste.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins in Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis

The slot takes a 0.20 minimum bet and a 50.00 maximum bet across 10 lines. Payouts follow the theme. On my sheet it reads: 5 x Prince pays x20, 4 x pays x5, 3 x pays x1. The Princess pays x10 for 5, x2.50 for 4, x0.50 for 3. The King sits at x8, x1.50, x0.30. The Blue Devil pays x5, x1, x0.20 on 5, 4, 3 of a kind.

Lower symbols are jewels. The Pink Square Jewel pays x2 for 5, x0.40 for 4, x0.20 for 3. The Red Jewel pays x1.50, x0.30, x0.10. These values scale off stake, and wilds can step in to build lines. I find the spread clear, with character symbols carrying the weight and gems filling the board when the features are waiting. The Pink Jewel Wild substitutes for all symbols except the Gold Wild and the Scatter, which helps nudge extra lines through.

Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis Bonus Features

Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis uses two wilds. The Pink Jewel Wild substitutes for all symbols bar the Gold Wild and the Scatter, which helps tidy up awkward lines. The Gold Wild also substitutes and applies a x2 win multiplier to any line it completes. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, so the best hits often grid around the centre when it shows up together. In my sessions it is the key driver of momentum.

The Crossed Swords Scatter starts the feature. Three Scatters, or two Scatters plus a Gold Wild, give 10 free spins. In free spins, all Gold Wilds turn sticky and hold for the round. When reels 2, 3 and 4 fill with sticky Gold Wilds, I get 3 extra free spins, which can press the board into steady hits while the multiplier keeps the lines honest. This is where the slot opens up for me, as lines connect across the middle with repeat wins.

After any spin in the base game I can see the Risk'N'Buy prompt. On a win, I can risk the payout to enter free spins. On a miss, I can buy the feature for a stated fee. I use it sparingly in high variance slots like this, yet it is a neat route into the sticky wild round when the base game stalls. It is optional after every spin, so I decide based on balance and mood.

Our Verdict: Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis Review

Prince of Persia: the Gems of Persepolis wins me over with its clean design and a tight set of features. Multiple wilds, a x2 multiplier and sticky wilds in free spins give decent routes to value when the grid behaves. The flip side is a below average 95.1% RTP alongside high volatility, so I pace my stake and spin count. If you like a straight 5x3 with clear pays and a punchy bonus, this one earns a place in the mix.
