Hot Chilliways Slot Information

It’s just a few months ago, All41Studios released Dia Del Mariachi Megaways, and Hot Chilliways could take place in the same little town for all we know. The instruments have been exchanged for spicy chilli peppers, but the colors and sounds are very familiar. The reels have a golden frame, and the symbols have their own colorful backgrounds. On both sides stand houses with wooden doors, and there’s a box of hot chillies in the bottom left corner. To make a win, you’ll need to land at least 3 symbols on consecutive reels, starting with the first reel to the left. You start every spin with 729 ways to win, which can be increased to 117649 ways thanks to the row-expanding chillies. The game is available on all devices: desktop computers, notepads, and mobile phones.

There are quite a few symbols to keep track of in Hot Chilliways. The lower-paying ones are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. They won’t even give you the money back for a full win of 6 symbols, paying between 0.7X to 0.9X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are tomato, corn, cactus, sombrero, and a decorated death skull. They pay between 1X and 10X the bet for a 6 symbol win. There are two Wild Symbols. The green one expands the reel it lands on to 6 positions, and the red chilli transforms the reel 7 symbols high and adds a 2X multiplier in the base game and even greater multipliers in the free spins. The Wild Symbols substitutes all symbols except the Scatter Symbol that can activate the free spins.  

Hot Chilliways Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Hot Chilliways?

You can win up to 30000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Hot Chilliways?

The features are Cascading Wins, Wild Green Chilli, Wild Red Chilli. Scatter Symbol, Super Stake, Free Spins Gamble, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Cascading Wins

Whenever you hit a win, the involved symbols will vanish into the air, and new ones will fall from above. If you manage to make a new win, the involved symbols will once again vanish while new ones drop down. This goes on as long as new wins are being made, and it’s all part of the same spin. The rows can also grow during the cascades for every wild symbol that hits the reels, expanding the rows.

Wild Green Chilli

The Wild Green Chilli increases the number of symbols from 3 to 6 on the reel it lands on. The 3 original symbols split and duplicate themselves. The green chilli substitutes all symbols except the scatter. The reels go back to 3 rows high when no more wins can be made.

Wild Red Chilli

The Wild Red Chilli goes one step further than its green brother and expands the reel it lands on to 7 rows. The 3 original symbols drop to the bottom while 4 new ones are added on the top. The red chilli also brings a 2X multiplier that is added to the top of the reels and is used to multiply the final wins. Just like the green chilli, the red one substitutes all symbols except the scatter. In the free spins, it can have a multiplier up to 100X.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter Symbol is two wooden maracas with a purple pattern. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6+ scatter symbols anywhere on the reels reward 12, 16, 20, and 24 free spins.

Super Stake

Stakelogic’s Super Stake feature can sometimes turn a game a hundred times more interesting. In this case, it’s pretty lame, though. In exchange for doubling your bet, the game will throw in some extra scatter symbols, raising the chance of triggering the free spins. Remember that the paytable stays the same while playing the Super Stake, so your wins are practically only worth half of what they would have been without the feature. Usually, playing the Super Stake doesn’t affect the RTP, but we can’t find any information about that in the demo.

Free Spins Gamble

When landing 3 or more scatter symbols, you can choose to gamble your free spins for the chance to win more. The player will be presented with a wheel in green and red, showing how many total spins a win landing on green will give, and how many spins a loss landing on red will result in. Landing on green will award the extra spins and give you an opportunity to gamble again. Landing on red will reduce the spins and start the feature. If the spins are reduced to 0, you’ll be taken back to the base game straight away.

Free Spins

The free spins work pretty much like the regular spins except for the red chilli, who becomes crazy, adding multipliers up to 100X the bet. The feature is over when the player runs out of spins. 

Bonus Buy

Well, Stakelogic usually has the friendly hospitality of offering this feature to any player who doesn’t have the patience to activate the free spins the regular way. For 100X the bet, you’re guaranteed a spin that will give you at least 3 scatter symbols, activating the free spins.  

Hot Chilliways Slot Conclusion

This game surely is hot, no doubt about that. The green and red mustache-adorned chillies do their best to turn up the fire, and it works pretty well. Although they are very similar at first sight, they work quite differently, with the red one adding four completely new symbols to the reel, while the green one duplicates itself and the other two original symbols to make a sextet. The colorful graphics are also impressively sharp, although the game doesn’t treat the player with any advanced animations. Stakelogic’s Super Stake feature typically gives something extra, but we’re not too impressed with having to double the bet for more scatter symbols. The game developer doesn’t mention the RTP while playing the Super Stake, but we assume it stays the same.

Feature-wise, it’s really only the free spins that are interesting. Even if you have managed to gamble some extra or not, you should prepare yourself for a ride where the red chilli can reward you greatly. The downside is that the free spins don’t seem to give much if you can’t boost a good multiplier. There’s a huge winning potential here, though, with a max win of 30000X the bet. The RTP of 96.01% isn’t much to brag about, putting the slot a bit below the average RTP. If you’re looking for a higher RTP and maybe even a crazier Mexican theme, we can advise you to check out the somewhat stereotypical Big Juan with a trigger-happy man in a huge sombrero.

Hot Chilliways from Stakelogic takes the player for a colorful ride in a Mexican town where green and red chilli peppers expand the reels, making way for the huge max win of 30000X the bet.
