🏖️ Club Cabana: Slot Overview
After their literary-themed debut The Library, which starred icons like Edgar Allan Poe and Dante Alighieri, Kitsune Studios (partnering with Hacksaw Gaming) takes a hard left turn with their second slot—Club Cabana. Trading dusty bookshelves for cocktails and bikinis, this release dials the clock back to the ’80s and sets its scene at a sun-soaked pool party in Ibiza. Quite the genre switch.
What hasn’t changed much, though, is the gameplay. Despite the time between releases, Club Cabana leans heavily on familiar mechanics, borrowing from well-known features like Lootlines, money symbol collection, and free spins that level up via collector symbols. It’s hard not to see shades of Big Bass Bonanza here—only this time, the fishing trip’s been replaced with a Balearic beach bash.
Visually, Club Cabana is minimal on mobile—just a sliver of sky, sea, and the occasional palm. On larger screens, however, the full retro-party aesthetic comes alive: poolside antics, neon vibes, and a hint of vintage SG Digital influence. It’s bold, nostalgic, and arguably not for everyone, but if you’re in the mood for a splash of synth-soaked escapism, Club Cabana might just be your kind of party.
🎰 Club Cabana – Game Setup & Symbols
The poolside party unfolds on a 5×4 grid with 20 fixed paylines, where players can place bets ranging from €0.10 to €100 per spin. It’s a high-volatility setup, built for risk-takers, and comes with a top-tier RTP of 96.31% and a hit frequency of 30.51%—meaning you can expect a win roughly once every three spins.
Symbol-wise, the game keeps it classic with a fruity twist. Five low-paying fruit symbols and four high-paying cocktail symbols fill the reels. Landing five matching low pays nets you 2x your bet, while cocktail combinations are worth 5x to 7.5x for five of a kind.
At the top of the paytable is the Singer symbol, acting as a wild. It replaces all regular pay symbols and takes on added importance during bonus rounds, where it collects Partygoer cash values. Line up five wilds, and you’ll earn a tidy 10x your stake.
🎉 Club Cabana Features
Club Cabana comes loaded with a mix of features that combine money symbol collection, progressive bonuses, and optional feature buys for instant action. Here’s what’s on offer:
💸 Lootlines
Partygoer symbols act as Money symbols, each displaying a value from 0.5x to 100x your stake. If three or more Partygoers land along a winning payline (excluding wilds), their combined values are awarded.
🎤 Headline Singer Wild
During bonus rounds, Singer Wilds collect all visible Partygoer symbol values. These Wilds can land with multipliers of x1, x2, x3, or x10, which are applied to collected values (note: not to line wins).

🎲 Club Cabana: Slot Verdict
Kitsune Studios’ second outing couldn’t be more different in theme from their first. After making a literary debut with The Library, the studio ditches the books and hits the beach in Club Cabana — a slot drenched in retro party vibes, pixelated swimwear, and Ibizan beats. While this tonal shift shows Kitsune’s versatility in presentation, it doesn’t quite extend to the gameplay mechanics.
🎮 Gameplay-wise, Club Cabana feels less like a bold step forward and more like a re-skinned homage to Big Bass Bonanza — or more specifically, Hacksaw’s own response to it, Marlin Mayhem. It borrows the Lootlines mechanic, money symbol collection, and tiered collector upgrades, but fails to introduce any major innovations of its own.
📈 On the plus side, Club Cabana does increase the max win potential to 10,000x the bet, making it a stronger offer in terms of raw numbers. Thematically, replacing fish with partygoers and a suave headline singer might appeal to players tired of the angling theme that dominates this category.
👙 That said, beneath the neon glow and beach vibes, Club Cabana leans heavily on familiar ideas. It feels more like a nostalgic remix than a fresh experience. If you’re in the mood for an 80s pool party twist on Big Bass mechanics, this might scratch the itch. Otherwise, it lands
