NetEnt Launched Aloha Cluster Pays Pokie Machine

With Aloha Cluster Pays, Net Ent created a game with a cute design, the way they often do, and with an interesting mix of features that include free spins and sticky win re-spins.

It’s also a Hawaii themed pokie machine, with inspiration drawn both from the island’s natural beauty and from the old religions of the Pacific, which we know about thanks to the Tiki statues that were left behind.

The pokie takes advantage of that heritage, and gives you a chance to play on its unusual setup, which sports 6 reels with 5 rows of symbols. There are no regular paylines inside, the combinations forming in clusters.

What We Love

The design is clearly one of the big advantages this pokie has, but since it’s a Net Ent title it’s something that I expected from the beginning. The theme is inspired by Hawaii, so you will find on its reels and behind them various images which will remind you of a tropical island, from coconuts, to beautiful flowers, shells and Tiki masks. The background will show you the island, with a fuming volcano in the distance and with a small bay closer to the action. On the right side, a Tiki God accompanies you, smiling, wearing sunglasses and generally just trying to entertain you.

It’s not a game like most that you can play these days. Besides the fact that it has 6 reels instead of 5, it doesn’t have any paylines, not even ways to win. It uses a cluster pay system instead, with symbols being required to be next to each other and on three or more reels, going from left to right. You can have multiple icons from the same reel in a cluster, and the more you get the better the prize.

Wild symbols show up with Question Mark icons on them, and they help out by turning into a symbol that they’re next to, which can use them as part of their paying cluster. They don’t seem to be able to take part in multiple clusters, since they don’t keep their own symbols once they’re used up.

The Sticky Win Respin is one of the big features introduced in Aloha. Get a regular cluster of symbols to form and pay you, and you will get a respin out of it. The symbols of the cluster remain in place, while all the other symbol positions change into new ones. If additional symbols are part of the locked cluster thanks to this respin, they also lock in place and new respins take place. The game stops the respins only when you no longer get new symbols for the cluster.

Another option available to you is to trigger free spins. For three to six symbols marked Free Spins, you are rewarded with 9 to 12 free games. These free games drop from the reels the symbols which don’t pay much, leaving Tiki Masks only, which offer better rewards.

What We Do Not Like

I loved what I saw so far. No idea on what kind of payout we can expect from this game right now, but hopefully it will not be too low. It might be the one downside that it has.

Worth Playing?

It’s a game that is easy to enjoy, which is both unusual and fun, with more reels and a different way of awarding prizes. You have plenty of reasons to give it a go once it’s released.
