Aloha! Cluster Pays Slot Review

Aloha and welcome to a great new Hawaiian slot game from slot-kings NetEnt. As befitting a tropically themed game, the vibrant primary colors are the first thing to hit you. The game is set on abeautiful Hawaiian island at sunset, a volcano smoking in the background. Beside the reels is a grinning carved wooden Tiki statue, which bursts into life to celebrate a win.

Apart from the vivid colors, you will quickly notice the unusual reel layout. Rather than a standard 5 x 3, this is a more complex 6 x 5 layout. The symbols are high value Tiki heads in red,green and blue, with low value symbols consisting of pineapple, flower, shell and coconut. Everything about this game is colorful and appealing, and that goes for the playability as well.

The unusual layout of this game allows for very innovative gameplay. There are no paylines, and instead you win when 9 or more of a particular symbol appear in a cluster. A ‘cluster’ in this casemeans that the symbols must all connect in any sequence. The biggest possible win would be x10,000 your coin value when all 30 spaces are taken up by the Red Tiki. You may think that impossible,but another feature increases the possibility of that happening. A cluster win can randomly activate the Sticky Win Respin feature. The winning cluster stays in place and the other reels spin,with new winning symbols added to the cluster. When the cluster gets bigger, another respin takes place, giving you a fighting chance of filling the reels. There are also question mark Wildsymbols available to boost your winning chances still further.

The warm Hawaiian welcome continues with the chance to win free spins. If between 3 and 6 Free Spin stamps show up – one per reel – you win from 9 to 12 free spins. There’s also the chance toearn extra free spins when 3 or more scatters appear during your free spin rounds up to a maximum of 60 in total. During free spin rounds, the excellent Symbol Drop feature comes into play. Thismeans that low value symbols will drop off the reels to boost your chance of winning big as you keep spinning. But wait, because this game just keeps on giving: if you fail to win on your lastfree spin, you keep spinning until you get a win.

Famously, visitors to Hawaii are greeted at the airport with a ‘lei’ flower necklace. This game feels just as friendly to new players, as it looks beautiful and is packed with features. NetEnthave really pulled out all the stops to make this an entrancing slot. The innovative cluster feature combines with Symbol Drops, Sticky Wins and the chance for free spins to make this an instantclassic. The RTP of 96.42% shows that this game does not flatter to deceive, and all of these factors have made Aloha! Cluster Pays a dream destination from slot players all over the world.
