How Aloha! Cluster Pays plays
Wins come from clusters of matching symbols. A cluster win can randomly start Sticky Win Re-Spins: winning symbols hold and the rest respin for as long as the cluster keeps growing. Substitution symbols turn into whichever neighbouring symbol makes the best cluster. Three to six Free Spin symbols give 9 to 12 free spins, during which low-paying symbols are progressively removed; a spinless finish adds spins until a win lands.
Theme: Tropical island and tiki.
Features in this game
- Cluster pays: A pay system where groups of matching symbols touching each other on the grid win, with no lines or reels-from-the-left rule.
- Respins: An extra free spin of some or all reels, usually with certain symbols held in place, triggered by a symbol or a win.
- Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.42% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.58%, so every £100 staked costs £3.58 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.16, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as medium. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
Published hit frequency is 21%, meaning roughly 21 spins in every 100 return something. Many of those returns are smaller than the stake.
