Hot Chilli Fest Slot Information

Hot Chilli Fest invites the player to a Mexican square with houses in blue and beige. There’s probably a mariachi band just around the corner because traditional-sounding music with guitar and trumpet accompanies this party. To be honest, nothing directly says that we’re in Mexico, but all the clues tell us that. The word “chilli” comes from Nahuatl, a language that is still spoken in several varieties by Nahua people, mainly living in Mexico. To make winning combinations in this street party, you need to land 3 or more symbols of the same type on one of the 25 paylines, going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and you can access the game on mobile phones and other devices.

The lower-paying symbols 10, J, Q, K, and A pay between 1X and 2X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. The higher-paying ones are cactus, guitar, maracas, sombrero, donkey, and woman with roses in her hair. They pay anything between 4X and 30X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols in making winning combinations, but not the Scatter Symbol.

Hot Chilli Fest Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Hot Chilli Fest?

You can win up to 5,000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Hot Chilli Fest?

The features are Wild Symbol, Free Spins Gamble, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

A wheel with black and green segments and a table showing that the black segments equals 0 spins and the green 12.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a man with a big sombrero holding a red chilli in his right hand. He substitutes all regular-paying symbols in making wins but not the Scatter Symbol. The Wild Symbol also has a multiplier of 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X. If more than 1 Wild is part of a win, the multipliers of several Wilds are added together.

Free Spins Gamble

The Scatter Symbol is a picture of three chillies in yellow, red, and green that can appear on reels 1, 3, and 5. Landing 3 Scatters on a spin triggers 8 Free Spins. Before the feature begins, you’re taken to the Free Spins Gamble.

You’re presented with a wheel and have to choose if you want to gamble your 8 spins for a chance to win 12 by spinning a wheel. Your chances of succeeding are 50%, and you can try to gamble for more spin if you win. However, if you’re unsuccessful, all your spins are lost, and you go back to the base game.

With 12 spins, you can gamble for 16, and therefrom you can gamble for 20 and later the max amount of 24 spins. You have a 60 percent chance of winning each of those gambles, and you lose all your spins if you’re unsuccessful in gambling 12 spins. If you lose the wheel spin while gambling with 16 or 20 spins, you will lose 8 spins and start the Free Spins feature with 8 or 12.

You can choose to collect your spins and start the feature at any stage.

Free Spins

You start the Free Spins with 8 spins unless you were bold enough to win extra spins in the Free Spins Gamble. Every time a Wild Symbol lands during the feature, it stays on the grid, moving to a new position on each spin for the rest of the feature. Landing 3 Scatter Symbols awards 5 extra spins and upgrades all Wilds with a +1 multiplier up to 5X.

The Free Spins end when you run out of spins or reach the max win of 5,000X the bet.

Wild 2X symbols on reels 2 and 3 in the Free Spins.

Bonus Buy

Even the Bonus Buy feature has a gamble twist. You can purchase the Free Spins for 100X the bet, but you can also pay 50X the bet for a 50% chance of winning the Free Spins by landing 3 Scatter Symbols.

Hot Chilli Fest Slot Conclusion

Hot Chilli Fest is a lively and spicy casino slot that transports players straight to a Mexican street party filled with festive music. The game’s design captures the essence of a Mexican celebration, featuring symbols like cacti, guitars, maracas, and a man with a sombrero. The man with the sombrero is the game’s Wild Symbol, and he also brings a multiplier between 2X and 5X apart from substituting all regular-paying symbols in making wins.

You will also find the Free Spins Gamble feature, which adds an extra layer of excitement, allowing you to gamble the initial 8 free spins for a chance to win more. It works similarly to the Free Spins Gamble in Hot Chilliways, although you can win even more spin in that game (30).

Hot Chilli Fest is a welcoming and good-looking game. Some players will probably find it too basic since the features are pretty limited. The RTP of 96.01% is alright, and the max win of 5,000X the bet is also okay but far from amazing. For another chilli adventure where the max win is higher, we recommend you to have a look at Big Time Gaming’s Extra Chilli Megaways, awarding up to 16,877X the bet.

Hot Chilli Fest from Stakelogic has a Wild chilli-eating man who brings multipliers of up to 5X.
