The Pacific Islands are a regular virtual stop-off for online slots fans and we are well used to the scenery and symbols which come with this theme. We now have one more to play and it’s called Aloha! Cluster Pays; it’s developed by Net Entertainment and it features some creative gameplay mechanics which should keep you coming back for more – read all about it below.

Aloha! Cluster Pays is a six reel slot with five rows and no standard payline structure; as the title of the game suggests wins are formed by landing groups (or clusters) of nine or more symbols joined horizontally or vertically together. The design is high quality and cheerful and there’s an animated Tiki statue to the right of the reels; in the background we have a beach, palm trees and what looks like an active volcano.

There are seven theme-related symbols including three Tiki masks – red, green and blue – plus a pineapple, half a coconut, a shell and a flower. The biggest payout can be won by filling the screen with 30 red Tiki masks and that’s worth 10000x your total stake.

The wild symbol is a box daubed with a question mark and it will substitute for the highest potential winning symbol; it won’t replace the Free Spin icon.

Bonus Features

Sticky Win Respins

This is randomly activated after any win and you will see those symbols involved in the win freeze in place for a free respin; any new symbols which add to the cluster will trigger another respin and this process continues until no more matching icons land.

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three or more of the Free Spins scatter symbols anywhere in view and you will receive:

• Three Scatters – 9 free spins
• Four Scatters – 10 free spins
• Five Scatters – 11 free spins
• Six Scatters – 12 free spins

During the spins, the lower value symbols (fruit and flowers) will fall away from the reels gradually so by the end only high value icons remain in play; hopefully this results in higher wins during this round.

If the last free spin doesn’t result in a win, it will keep on spinning until it does. More spins can be won by landing more scatter symbols during this round.

Verdict

Aloha! Cluster pays is high quality and good fun – it reminds us a little of Play N Go’s Cloud Quest with it’s six reels and creative non-standard payline structure. The Sticky Win Respins seems to trigger regularly and there’s an RTP of 96.42%.
