Punters get to rack up wins on one, a 243 win ways grid where a base game culminates into a ramped-up bonus session and two, a side game screen where the win is simply determined by the number of glowing orbs landed. Can Maui Millions live up to its title and actually crank out megabucks? Time to give it a few spins to find out!

Aesthetic, Math Model, & Basic Rules
The action takes place in front of an open-sided hale (thatched ancient Hawaiian hut). There are five reels in total, with each accommodating 3 symbols. The backdrop makes it appear as if the structure has been erected on a beach as an upbeat tune tinkles away in the background to get the beach party mood going.
Playable on virtually any other browser with bets of 0.4 to 60 units of any currency, the game stats are just what you would expect from a Kalamba slot. Default Return to Player Percentage is above-average at 96.51%, and there’s even an option to boost it all the way up to 97.46% with the HyperBonus Feature; more on that later. Meanwhile, the volatility is rated 8/10 to make Maui Millions the type of slot that would appeal more to the dedicated gambler.
The paytable is made up of five theme symbols and six blackjack icon fillers. The five symbols on the better side of the paytable are coconut cocktails, hibiscus flowers, flip flops, pahus (drums), and ukuleles. Landing five of these symbols across a single win line will trigger payouts ranging from 2.25-12.5 times the selected bet. On the other hand, the rewards from the fillers are mediocre as expected, but luckily, they are not the most recurrent symbols in the game.

As for how the wins are triggered, it’s beyond easy, all thanks to the player-favorite 243 Ways-to-Win set-up. Players only need to line up at least three identical symbols on adjacent reels, except for the cocktails and 9s, which pay for 2-of-a-kind-combinations. The tiki wild helps a lot here by taking the place of any regular payer to complete a winning combination.
Collect Cash Spins as you play!
There are three Cash Spins Counters on the right side of the grid. Each represents a variant of Cash Spins, which can be triggered during the Wheel Bonus. Also important to mention, each counter has a 20 Cash Spins limit.
The Wheel Bonus
Showing up frequently alongside the regular payers and wilds are flaming orbs, with different cash rewards inscribed on them. The Wheel Bonus is activated whenever at least three of these are present on the grid.
Spinning the Wheel Bonus gives the player a chance to trigger one of the Cash Spins variants or a multiplier for the sum of the prizes displayed by the triggering orbs.
Cash Spins
Cash Spins play on a different screen, where players hope to land as many cash spins as possible. As already mentioned, the player can trigger up to 20 cash spins, and the variant (X2, X3, or X5 multiplier) triggered depends more or less on luck.
The goal of a Cash Spins session is to land full grids of flaming orbs to redeem the prizes with the corresponding multiplier boost. Players will be excited to find out that filling a screen with orbs also awards three additional Cash Spins.
Bonus Round
Last of the special symbols to watch out for is the bonus symbol, which awards eight, twelve, and fifteen rounds on the house for 3, 4, and 5 appearances during the base game. Besides that, it is also a payer with rewards of up to 10X.
During the bonus round, three, four, and five appearances of the bonus symbol will add eight, twelve, and fifteen rounds to the free spins tally. Also, the tiki wilds can show up with multipliers of up to 3X to boost your wins.
Maui Millions- Our Verdict
Ultimately, Maui Millions is one of those games where punters have to test the Buy-in feature to see whether it works better for them than playing conventionally. Admittedly, the Cash Spins and Free Spins offers are reasonably-priced to enable the player to instantly get a feel of the game when it is at its best with even much higher Return to Player and hit rate scores. We were especially pleased by the level 2 Cash Spins, where a payout of 200-300X was just about guaranteed to cover the entry cost.
