A Tonybet player from Canada won CAD 36,000 (USD 25,465) from a CAD 3 bet on Pragmatic Play’s Starlight Princess 1000 on 22 September, delivering a 12,000x return on the original stake.
The player registered with Tonybet in early August 2026, meaning the five-figure payout came less than seven weeks after joining the platform.
Starlight Princess 1000 has a maximum win of 15,000x the stake. On a $3 bet, the maximum payout is CAD 45,000, putting the player’s CAD 36,000 win at 80% of the game’s maximum and CAD 9,000 below the top payout available on that stake.
Released in October 2023, Starlight Princess 1000 follows Pragmatic Play’s original Starlight Princess. The sequel features the Princess character next to a 6×5 grid filled with colourful gems. It also increases the maximum win from 5,000x to 15,000x and offers multiplier symbols ranging from 2x to 1,000x.
The original game’s 5,000x cap would have limited a CAD 3 wager to a maximum payout of CAD 15,000. The latest win was therefore CAD 21,000 above what the original version could have paid on the same stake.
The game uses a tumble mechanic in which winning symbols are removed and replaced by new symbols falling from above. Consecutive tumbles can continue without a set limit unless the maximum win is reached. Multipliers are combined at the end of each sequence to increase the total payout.
Four or more scatters trigger the free spins feature. During free spins, multipliers accompanying winning sequences accumulate in a running total, which is applied whenever another winning sequence includes a multiplier.
The mechanics allow individual spins to build into larger payouts, as demonstrated by the Tonybet player’s $3-to-$36,000 win.
Starlight Princess 1000 is part of Tonybet’s casino offering of more than 6,000 games from over 1,000 providers. The operator also offers a sportsbook covering more than 100 sports, with both live and pre-match betting markets, including esports.
