4 TAPS FROM THE LOBBY Search box to a spinning board

Upright, the spin button shrinks and the bet stepper crowds it. A wide thumb hits the wrong one. The demo pulls about 8 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 1.9 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.

One build, one return figure

Only one configuration of Aloha! Cluster Pays is licensed, at 96.42%, so there is nothing to check and nothing to get wrong. That puts it in the minority: 123 of 306 titles here ship in two or three builds, and nothing on screen tells you which one loaded.

Where it sits on the board

Ranked 136 of 306 here, and none of that ranking is about the game. It is about the handset. The load beats the board median of 2.1 s by 0.2 s.

Across the 24 NetEnt titles here the median is 2.6 s and 14 render upright.

What the game is

Out in 2016. NetEnt built it as 6x5, cluster pays with cluster pays / sticky re-spins. Tiki-themed cluster slot with substitution symbols and sticky-win re-spins during free spins where low symbols are progressively removed.

Volatility reads medium, so the balance moves in lumps, and fifty spins will mislead you either way. C$0.10 a spin, so twenty dollars runs to roughly 200 of them. Ceiling is 1,000x and it is not going to happen to you.
