Theme

The theme revolves around the relaxing and exotic cultures of Polynesian islands, specifically the beautiful isles of Hawaii. It’s easy to see why Hawaii is one of the most popular holiday destinations of all time and when you view the traditional tiki masks, tropical fruits and bright sunshine of Aloha Cluster Pays, you’ll be wishing you were onboard a plane to The Aloha State. The backing track consists of tranquil oceanic music with the occasional tribal drum chant thrown in for good measure.

How to play

You won’t find a traditional pay line structure across the reels of Aloha Cluster Pays. Instead, the game employs a one of a kind gaming function which rewards any combination of matching symbols formed together in a cluster. The larger the cluster, the more money you win. This cluster structure makes for many more opportunities to win. Before spinning, you will have to select the number of coins and the value of coins you wish to play with. The minimum bet is 10 coins per spin priced at 1p each. There is also a non-progressive jackpot up for grabs in this generous game which comes to a grand total of 100,000 coins.

Bonuses and extras

Find three or more free spins scatter symbols anywhere on your reels and you will trigger the bonus game. The number of scatter symbols you find will determine the exact amount of spins you are rewarded, this could be anything up to 25 spins. The bonus feature can be re-triggered throughout the game.
