Aloha! Cluster Pays Slot

Aloha! Cluster Pays is a fresh-looking Hawaiian themed slot game by Net Entertainment that is sure to put you in the mood for seaside holiday fun. The Tiki masks and statues can award you up to 10,000 times your stake, but that is not where the funs ends. Re-spins and free spins ensure that your time on the reels is maximised.

Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols

This Summer online slot game takes place on a Hawaiian Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The white reel set is set against the backdrop of a tropical beach, with a smoking volcano in the distance. Your companion for the game is a Tiki head statue, like those found on Easter Island. His animations will keep you entertained throughout your stay, especially when a cluster pay is won.

The Ukulele and slide guitar theme tune offer a real sense of beach relaxation, and the sounds of the breakers in the background are enough to settle any anxious soul.

The game symbols on the grid are made up of icons that support the theme in every way. The higher value symbols consist of three different coloured tribal Tiki faces (Red, Green, and Blue). The lower value items include a pineapple, a coconut, a clam, and a pink flower.

The box with the question mark is the game Wild, which substitutes for any symbol that will give the biggest cluster pay. There is also a free spin scatter symbol. Land three or more of these on the screen to trigger the main feature.

Game Mechanics

The game is played on a 6 x 5 grid with no paylines, as the slot works off a cluster pay engine. Cluster Pays are groups of matching symbols that link vertically and horizontally on the grid. Aloha starts paying when clusters of 9 or more matching symbols link on the screen.

The game RTP is 96.41% and the variance is low to medium, which means that you will win frequently. The wins, however, are normally quite small.

Play a roll for between 0.10 and 200 per spin and reap up to 10,000 times your stake when landing a screen of 30 red-faced Tiki symbols, effectively yielding a massive payday.

Special Features

There are two bonus features available to you in this game. The one is a random base game feature and the other is a separate bonus game that yields free spin action.

Sticky Re-spins

Randomly after any cluster win, the game may award a free re-spin of the reels to increase your haul. The winning cluster combination will hold in place while the other reels spin. If the cluster is increased in size by the spin, the reels will be re-spun again with the cluster held in place to attempt to grow it again. As long as the cluster grows, the reels will re-spin.

Free Spin Bonus Round

Trigger this round by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 free spin scatters anywhere on the screen, and win 9, 10, 11, or 12 free spins respectively. The feature can be re-triggered again by landing more scatter combinations of 3, 4, 5, or 6 symbols, adding 1, 2, 3, or 4 extra spins to the tally.

Throughout the round, a symbol drop feature will be in place, which gradually starts dropping lower value symbols from the reels. This could set you up for much bigger wins if you are lucky.

Finally, if on the last free spin you yield no win, the reels will re-spin until a cluster combination is made, effectively granting you a guaranteed bankroll increase.
