More From Eyecon
A frog in a crown is on a lily pad on reel 3, and that single symbol carries every feature this demo has. Land two of them across the five reels, and they pay on their own. Land three, and a Free Games banner drops over the pond. Behind it, there is no pick round, no second scatter, no wheel. Enchanted Prince uses 25 lines across a 5×3 grid, and five princesses on a line return 96x, the highest figure the paytable carries. Everything below that top row is short, flat, and close together, so free play fills the win box often and rarely by much.
Open blue water and floating lily pads fill the screen behind a bamboo frame, with the game’s name on a paper scroll above the reels. Six of the 13 symbols are card ranks from 9 to A, rendered in purple-and-gold knotwork rather than plain type. The pictures are a blonde princess, a turreted castle, a red heart, a white water lily, and a green lily pad, all in the soft storybook pastels Eyecon was working in around 2013. Nothing on the reels flashes or snaps. The art is gentle, and it matches the way the game pays.
The frog wears a crown, is on a leaf, and pays without needing a line under it. Two return 2x, three return 5x, four return 10x, and five return 50x. Scattered wins pay any, so whatever line count you have set doesn’t affect them. That two-symbol pay does more work than it looks. The frog is the trigger as well, so the landing that starts the feature has already paid on its own account. Five frogs return 50x, well under the 96x top line, which shows where this paytable puts its weight.
A third frog opens 15 free games, a fourth stretches that to 20, and a fifth to 25. The lines and the stake stay exactly as the triggering spin left them, and no multiplier comes with the round, which is where Enchanted Prince parts company with Eyecon’s other 25-line classics. A purple banner replaces the scroll above the reels, the water behind the grid darkens under a canopy of lily pads, and a counter in the spin bar shows what is left. More frogs inside the feature extend it to a maximum of 15 retriggers. An extra crowned character symbol appears on the reels during free games, and it is not listed on the pay tables.
The Crown covers every symbol, but the frog and any line win it completes pays double. It has no pay of its own, so it matters only when it lands beside something that does. On a ladder this short, doubling a 4x three-princess win into 8x is the biggest single swing available outside the feature. Eyecon went back to this pond twice, with Enchanted Prince 2 and a jackpot edition, and neither changed the shape of what happens here.
The coin-stack button under the reels opens a two-column panel: LINES on the left and BET PER LINE on the right, each with an up arrow, a down arrow, and a MAX button beneath. The up arrow beside the line count is greyed out, because 25 is as high as the count goes, so the only travel it has is downward. Cutting the count is the one adjustment that changes how this fairytale slot behaves, and it thins line coverage without touching the frog, which pays scattered whichever lines are switched on. On a phone or tablet, all four arrows are tap targets, with the spin bar running the width of the screen underneath them.
The rules give a return to player of 94.995%. That is on the same 25-line chassis, with the same free-games counts and the same substitute rule, that Eyecon uses across its classic slots, so the ladder and the return read as a matched pair rather than a set of choices made for this game alone. No maximum win is stated anywhere in the rules, and the largest number the paytable carries is the 96x top line, which free games do not multiply. The nearest thing to a cap the game writes down concerns the frog, where “the highest scatter win only is added” to the line wins.
Read the table from the bottom up, and the flatness shows itself. The six card ranks fill the lower half and never separate by much, 4x to 16x for five of a rank. The four pictures above them climb faster but stop early, and each pays from two symbols, which is unusual company for card ranks this low. The frog is outside the line structure altogether, on the last row.
| Symbol | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 / 10 | — | 0.32x | 2x | 4x |
| J / Q | — | 0.48x | 3.2x | 8x |
| K / A | — | 0.64x | 4x | 16x |
| Lily Pad | 0.08x | 0.8x | 6x | 32x |
| Water Lily | 0.08x | 0.8x | 6x | 32x |
| Heart | 0.16x | 2.4x | 8x | 56x |
| Castle | 0.32x | 3.2x | 12x | 72x |
| Princess | 0.4x | 4x | 20x | 96x |
| Frog (Scatter) | 2x | 5x | 10x | 50x |
Enchanted Prince is the calm member of Eyecon's 25-line family, with the top line cut to 96x, no pick round, and free games that add spins rather than multipliers. The frog paying from two keeps the reels busy, and the Crown's double is the only real lift on a short ladder. As a free demo of a modest 2013 slot, it is honest about itself, and the 94.995% return does the rest of the arguing.
Eyecon’s better-known 25-line classics use the same trigger counts and the same substitute rule as this one, and their top line pays 200x. Enchanted Prince pays 96x. That halving explains most of what the demo does, because the studio has not stripped value from the ladder so much as spread it thinner and lower.
What comes back is a slot that hits often and pays small. The frog paying from two, four pictures paying from two, and 25 lines running at once keep the win box lighting up, while the figures it lights up with rarely clear 1x. Across a stretch of free play that reads as steady rather than dull, a 94.995% return means the drift runs one way over a long enough sitting.
Free games are where the design feels thinnest. Fifteen spins with nothing added on top are just 15 more spins of the same thing, and a retrigger allowance of 15 is generous for a feature that provides volume but no lift. The Crown doubling a completed line is the only lift, whether inside the feature or outside it.
Anyone after a fairytale slot with a bigger swing behind similar storybook art will find one in Wish Upon a Jackpot. What this review rates is a calm, legible demo that does one thing without pretending to do more, and the frog does enough to keep the pond worth watching.
