Hawild Island Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

World Match slots have their own distinct style and use the most modern technology to make sure they work well. Hawild Island is no exception, with its impressive 243 ways to win across five reels. It is a good-looking slot, helped by the themed wild, scatters and higher-paying symbols alongside the traditional card icons. There is also a free spins round with its own multiplier to add a little extra excitement.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Take a look at the name ‘Hawild Island’. It is pretty clear that this is a combination of ‘Hawaii’ and ‘wild’, which is exactly what you get on these beautiful reels. See the palm trees wave and the waters lap on the beach, all illuminated by the soft light of a tropical sunset. It is not all gentle, however, with the surfboards leaning at the side of the screen and the larger waves amongst the symbols on the reels hinting at a thrilling way to pass the time. Other symbols include a surfer with an exceptionally well-muscled torso and a local woman with flowers in her hair. There is also a tiki mask, a tropical bird and a coconut turned into a cocktail glass, with even the traditional card symbols carved in colourful wood for an island style. The graphics are bold and animated to catch the eye, whilst a calypso rhythm plays in the background to make this a shining example of a beach themed slot.

Hawild Island RTP and variance

Hawild Island doesn’t have an official RTP or variance, which is a little annoying when trying to set expectations. Of course, any stated return figure would only be an average, so there still wouldn’t be any guarantees. The best way to figure out how frequent wins can be in Hawild Island is to play the free demo version here at Slots Temple and see how it goes.

How to play Hawild Island

You may just want to lay back on this gorgeous beach; however, if you are ready to play, here is what you do:

1. Look to the left of the reels, where you will see a button with three lines on that will open the menu. This will go straight to the settings page, where you can toggle the sound effects, music and fast play.
2. From the settings page, you will also see links to the paytable and the help page. Read through these for a more thorough explanation of how the game works and everything you need to know.
3. Close this window and go back to the main screen. One thing you will definitely want to do before you start playing is to adjust your bet to your preferred level. The button for doing this is found to the top-right and looks like a stack of coins. Clicking it will reveal all the available wagers, from minimum to maximum.
4. You now have two options. The first is to spin the reels once, at which point you can choose whether to spin again or to adjust your settings. You do this by clicking the big button in the centre. You can also hold it down as another way to trigger fast play.
5. The second option is below the main spin button, where you will find autoplay. Click this and choose a number of automatic spins between 5 and 1,000 or to set the reels spinning infinitely until you hit stop. There is no option for win and loss limits as stopping points.
6. Once you are playing, don’t forget your budget. Stick to your limits and don’t chase losses. It is also better to play the free demo version before you try a real-money version to make sure it is the game for you. This is the way to maximise the fun and reduce the risk.

Bet & win sizes

The bet range of between 0.50 and 200.00 seems reasonable, although it doesn’t allow for the biggest possible wins.

A dynamic paytable adjusts to your bet. If you start at the minimum, it looks like this for three, four and five matches respectively:

• Jack, queen = 0.10, 0.25, 0.50
• King, ace = 0.25, 0.50, 1.00
• Coconut = 0.50, 1.00, 2.00
• Bird = 0.75, 1.50, 3.00
• Wave = 1.00, 2.00, 4.00
• Surfer = 1.25, 2.50, 5.00
• Scatter = 1.50, 4.00, 7.50

Hawild Island free spins

There is a free spin game in Hawild Island, but it is not quite typical. You trigger it by finding three bonus symbols, which is fairly standard, but the number of spins you get is awarded at random. It is even possible to win zero free spins, which is a little annoying when you have finally managed to trigger the feature. The good thing is that all wins during the free spins round come with a 2x multiplier.

Hawild Island review: our verdict

If you are heading to a tropical beach, you are probably there to relax. You don’t want too many complicated thrills, which is why Hawild Island keeps things simple but attractive. The Aloha Cluster Pays slot has a similar theme but more complex gameplay with some larger potential rewards. The part of Hawild Island with the most depth is probably the graphics and the way they create a truly gorgeous setting.
