Hula Girl - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Who doesn’t dream of a vacation to Hawaii? The golden sands, perfect surfing waves and beautiful blue skies draw uncountable dreamers constantly, and for good reason! With Hula Girl, you can take a virtual vacation to this stunning island and enjoy all the wonder Hawaii has to offer without leaving your sofa.

Hula Girl is played over a 5x3 reel grid with 20 paylines and features plenty of themed symbols, including guitars, cocktails, drums, tiki masks and more. Even the A-9 symbols are adorned with lays and pretty flowers.

To win in Hula Girl, all you need to do is line up 3+ matching symbols along one of the paylines starting on the leftmost reel. The Hula Girl herself is the Wild. She can substitute for all other symbols (apart from the Scatter) to give you higher wins. She frequently appears Stacked and can show up on any of the five reels to give you plenty of winning potential.

The fabulous tiki mask is the Scatter symbol in Hula Girl. Land 3+ of these symbols in adjacent reels starting on the far-left reel to trigger the free spins bonus round that we will take a look at later.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Hula Girl is set on a beautiful Hawaiian beach with gold sand, blue skies and a calm sea visible behind the reels. The reels themselves are set on some form of beachfront stall made of wood and feature themed symbols, including cocktails, traditional Hawaiian instruments and other traditional elements to a Hawaiian vacation, with plenty of exotic flowers everywhere you look. The reel spins are accompanied by a wave of water that makes Hawaii such a popular destination for tourists, which we thought was a really nice piece of animation.

The sound effects in Hula Girl are simple island melodies which fit in well with the theme of this slot, even if they do get a bit repetitive after a while!

Hula Girl RTP & Volatility

Bet Sizes & Paytable

Wagers are placed per payline in Hula Girl, starting at 0.03 and going up to 50.00. Over 20 paylines, this gives a total betting range of 0.60 to 1,000.00 per spin, which should appeal to a wide range of slots players.

The best winnings are available in Hula Girl when you land five matching symbols along one of the 20 paylines. The Wild Hula Girl can substitute for other symbols to help you land longer winning combinations and better prizes and is also the highest paying symbol in the game. The top prizes (excluding any bonus features or multipliers) are as follows:

Hula Girl: 300

Sex on the Beach Cocktail: 100

Coconut Cocktail: 60

Drum: 40

Guitar: 40

A / K: 30

Q / J: 20

10 / 9: 10

The Scatter also offers cash prizes in addition to triggering the free spins bonus round, starting at 1x your wager for two-of-a-kind and going up to 20x if you land all five along a payline.

Bonus Features

In addition to the expanding wilds feature in Hula Girl that allows the Wild symbol to fill up entire reels at once, this slot also includes a free spins bonus round that’s activated when you land 2+ Scatter symbols starting on the leftmost reel.

The Scatter also appears Stacked to help increase your winning chances, and will award 3, 8, 20, o 50 free spins for combinations of two, three, four or five respectively.

During the free spins round, all winnings are tripled. The free spins can be retriggered during the feature by landing 2+ additional Scatters along a payline.

Conclusion

Overall, we thought Hula Girl was an excellent tribute to the island of Hawaii, filled with wonderful colours, graphics and music. We were worried when we realised the Scatters need to be along a payline and starting on the leftmost reel to trigger, but thanks to their stacked form we found free spins relatively easy to trigger and enjoyed the triple rewards available when we did.
