Tonybet player’s $3 spin pays out $36,000

29 September 2026
(PRESS RELEASE) -- A Tonybet Casino player from Canada turned a $3 stake into $36,000 on Pragmatic Play's Starlight Princess 1000 on 22 September, landing a 12,000x win that returned every dollar of their bet twelve thousand times over.

They only registered with Tonybet in early August 2026, so that bonus became a five-figure payout less than seven weeks into their membership.

Starlight Princess 1000 caps any win at 15,000x the stake. On a $3 bet that puts the ceiling at $45,000, so their payout reached 80% of the game's maximum and landed just $9,000 short of the top prize available on that stake.

Pragmatic Play released the slot in October 2023 as a follow-up to the original Starlight Princess. It keeps the Princess beside a 6x5 grid of colorful gems, triples the maximum win from the original's 5,000x cap, and raises the multiplier symbols to a range of 2x to 1,000x. Under that original cap, no $3 spin could have paid more than $15,000, which means $21,000 of this payout sat above the old ceiling and was possible only because of the 1000 edition's higher limit.

Winning symbols clear away and fresh ones tumble in from above, with no limit on consecutive tumbles unless the maximum win is reached. Multipliers combine at the end of each sequence to boost its total win. Four or more scatters trigger free spins, where multipliers accompanying wins build a running total, applied whenever another winning sequence includes a multiplier. And that mechanic is how a modest stake can build into a sizeable sum, or, in one Tonybet player's case, how $3 became $36,000.

Starlight Princess 1000 sits among more than 6,000 casino games from over 1,000 providers at Tonybet, where the sportsbook adds 100+ sports with live and pre-match markets, esports included.
