Aloha! Christmas review
Aloha! Christmas puts a tropical bar in a festive setting and asks you to choose how the bonus plays. NetEnt's December 2020 release is a 6x6 cluster slot in which Mystery symbols reveal themselves, Multiplier Wilds join winning clusters and Sticky Win Re-Spins hold winning symbols in place. Before free spins begin, you pick between 10 Tiki Bar Spins and 6 Tiki Bar Max Spins. The catalogue lists a 96% RTP and Medium volatility.
Mystery symbols and Multiplier Wilds
Wins on the 6x6 grid are formed by clusters, not paylines. The studio lists a bet range of €0.10 to €200.00. In both the main game and the free spins, Mystery symbols that appear on the reels turn into regular symbols.
One of those Mystery symbols can instead turn into a Multiplier Wild. A Multiplier Wild can join a winning cluster and multiplies that cluster's win. The values depend on the mode: x2, x3, x4, x5 and x7 in the main game, x2, x3 and x4 in Tiki Bar Free Spins, and x4, x5 and x7 in Tiki Bar Max Free Spins.
Sticky Win Re-Spins
A cluster win in the main game can randomly activate this feature. All symbols that match the activating cluster stick to the reels during each re-spin, and the sequence continues until no new symbols stick or until the winning cluster covers the whole play area. At the end, a multiplier between x1 and x7 is applied to all feature wins, depending on the final number of symbols stuck to the reels.
The studio adds that, during the free spins, Sticky Win Re-Spins get a boost from win multipliers. It does not give the exact rule, so we leave it at that.
Two ways to take the free spins
The studio presents the free spins as a choice of style, not a single round. The two options trade length for the size of the multipliers.
Tiki Bar Spins
Ten spins in which Multiplier Wilds carry the lower values of x2, x3 and x4. More spins give more chances for Sticky Win Re-Spins and wilds to appear.
Tiki Bar Max Spins
Six spins with Multiplier Wilds of x4, x5 and x7 only. Fewer spins, but every Multiplier Wild that lands is worth at least x4.
RTP, hit frequency and top prize
Aloha! Christmas has one RTP on record, 96%, a house edge of 4%. That is about $40 lost per $1,000 wagered over a long run. A 100-spin session costs about $0.80 at a $0.20 bet, $4 at $1 and $20 at $5.
The hit frequency is 25%, one spin in four. The maximum win is 1,800x the bet, which equals $360 at $0.20, $1,800 at $1 and $9,000 at $5.
Comparable Medium games
Thrill to Grill lists 96.05% and 1,900x, Koi Princess 96.23% and 1,500x, and Wolf Cub 96.34% and 2,100x. Let It Burn lists the same 96% with a 2,700x ceiling, and Cupcakes 96.05% with 2,700x. Arabian Nights lists 95.62% and 1,727x. Aloha! Christmas sits in the middle of that range.
Pros
- A choice of two free spins modes, 10 spins with lower multipliers or 6 with higher ones
- Multiplier Wilds of up to x7 and Sticky Win Re-Spins with a x1 to x7 multiplier
- Medium volatility with a 25% hit frequency
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Max win of 1,800x is moderate
- Several multiplier ranges across modes make the rules harder to follow
- Studio text does not say how win multipliers boost the re-spins during the free spins
Verdict
Aloha! Christmas lets you decide how to take its bonus, longer with smaller multipliers or shorter with bigger ones, while sticky re-spins and Multiplier Wilds shape the base game. The 96% RTP means a 4% house edge, Medium volatility keeps swings moderate, and the ceiling is 1,800x. It is paid entertainment, so set a budget and use the free demo to compare the two modes.
