Sweet Hawaii - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Bwin.Party formed in 2011 when PartyGaming and bwin Interactive Entertainment merged. With its impressive track record in the industry, any Bwin.Party slot is worth checking out, even if - like Sweet Hawaii - it doesn’t offer the free spins we have come to expect in most free casino slots. 

The Hawaiian theme is slightly reminiscent of online slots such as Push Gaming’s Razor Shark, but this is where the similarities end. Here is our Sweet Hawaii slot review

Like many free casino slots, the Sweet Hawaii online slot has a five-reel, three-row grid with nine paylines. The minimum bet is 0.01 and the maximum is 90.00. There are ten regular symbols: a surfer, a boat, a fish, a hut, a cocktail, a flower, a bottle, a hat, a shirt, and a garland. The wild is a girl and the scatter is a volcano.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The background is not the obvious sun-bathed beach; instead, it is a serene evening scene. The images on the reels are just as unusual and the designers have clearly given thought to how to make this online slot stand out. They have succeeded.

Sweet Hawaii RTP and variance

The return to player is 96.00 per cent - although one source puts it at 95.5 per cent - and the volatility is unknown.

How to play Sweet Hawaii

1. The Sweet Hawaii slot has nine variable paylines. It has a ca$h fla$h jackpot, which is a jackpot that grows progressively as bets are made
2. Only the highest win will be paid on each active payline.
3. Select the number of lines you wish to play using the control on the left.
4. Your current bet is shown in the middle of the control panel. You can adjust it with the plus and minus symbols; alternatively, select ‘max bet’.
5. Like many free casino slots, Sweet Hawaii enables you to play in auto mode. In addition to choosing a number of auto spins, you can set auto mode to quit when you reach a specified win or loss limit or when a special feature is triggered.
6. Click the large play button on the right to spin the reels. 
7. The credit balance is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This figure will adjust after every spin.
8. The three-line menu to the bottom left gives you various options:
   - Click ‘responsible gaming’ to navigate to the responsible gaming page
   - Click 'game logs' to view the logs of the games you have played.
   - Click 'game rules' to view the current version number and the rules of the game.
   - Click 'exit game' to leave the game and return to the lobby.
9. Always gamble sensibly. We support BeGambleAware and other safe gambling initiatives. Bet no more than you can afford to lose, and use the time out and self-exclusion features in your account if needed. When you stop enjoying online slots, it is time to stop playing.

Sweet Hawaii bonus features

Jackpot round

The ca$h fla$h jackpot can be triggered during normal spins, autospins, or after the free spins. Any bet is eligible for the jackpot. The larger your bet on each game, the more chances you have of winning the jackpot. The current value of the jackpot is shown in the top right-hand corner of the game screen.

Hot hula

The hot hula bonus feature is triggered when the girl symbol appears anywhere on reel three. All symbols on the triggering reels change into girl substitute symbols after any normal payouts have been awarded. The hot hula feature game is available only during normal play. Wins are transferred to the win meter at the end of the base game, before the start of the feature game, and at the end of the feature game. Feature prizes are added to payline and scatter wins. The hot hula feature game is not played during the cash eruption bonus game.

Cash eruption

The cash eruption bonus is launched when three or more volcano symbols appear from left to right anywhere on the reels. The original game screen will change and the feature game screen will open. Select one of the five volcanoes to reveal the number of free games awarded. You then select another volcano to reveal a bonus symbol; for each of these, a prize of up to 100x the triggering bet is paid. The cash eruption bonus round ends after the free games awarded are played. All other wins during the free games are doubled. The cash eruption bonus can be re-triggered.

Sweet Hawaii review: our verdict

This is an entertaining game with an unusual look and a welcome selection of bonus features. It is nice that you can choose the number of paylines, although the maximum of nine is rather limiting. This game is good fun.
