Tumble

When you create a winning cluster, the tumble feature will be activated. Then all symbols that were part of the win will disappear and new symbols will fall down to cover the empty positions. This continues as long as new wins are created.

Random Wild Multiplier

When you create a winning cluster, a wild symbol will be placed on one of the empty positions. The wild symbol helps to enable more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols, except for the scatter symbols. When you create a winning cluster, you will also activate a progressive feature, where you randomly start on any of the levels 1 to 5. Depending on the active level, the wild symbols will have different multipliers and when you create wins with 3 wilds, you will level up with a maximum level of 5. If you create a win with several multiplier wilds, their values will be added together before they are applied to the win created. Depending on the size of the winning clusters, this will also give different multipliers within the different levels.

Level 1 = Depending on whether you created a win with 5&6, 7&8, 9&10 or 11 or more symbols, it gives a multiplier of 1X, 2X, 4X or 8X respectively.

Level 2 = Depending on whether you created a win with 5&6, 7&8, 9&10 or 11 or more symbols, it gives a multiplier of 2X, 4X, 8X or 16X respectively.

Level 3 = Depending on whether you created a win with 5&6, 7&8, 9&10 or 11 or more symbols, it gives a multiplier of 4X, 8X, 16X or 32X respectively.

Level 4 = Depending on whether you created a win with 5&6, 7&8, 9&10 or 11 or more symbols, it gives a multiplier of 8X, 16X, 32X or 64X respectively.

Level 5 = Depending on whether you created a win with 5&6, 7&8, 9&10 or 11 or more symbols, it gives a multiplier of 16X, 32X, 64X or 128X respectively.

Free Spins

If you land 3 scatter symbols, the free spins feature is activated. You are then welcomed with 12 free spins and if you land 3 scatter symbols during the bonus game, you receive 5 extra free spins. During the bonus game you will always have Level 5 activated on the wild multipliers.

Hot Pepper Slot Conclusion

Players who are familiar with the classics Fruity Party and Fruit Party 2, are aware with the sudden explosive wins that can be generated within the bonus as well as the base game. This is a slot based on a similar concept, but where wild symbols are generated when a winning cluster is created. Depending on the size of the winning cluster and the current level, wild peppers are awarded with different multipliers. The higher paying symbols have great payouts when you create clusters with larger amounts of them and together with the wild multipliers, the wins get a great boost quickly. During the base game, you are randomly assigned one of the levels 1 to 5, but within the bonus game, you are guaranteed to have level 5 activated.

Level 5 can give wild multipliers of up to 128X and with a generous start with 12 free spins that also can be retriggered, you have good opportunities to create big wins. Pragmatic Play is known for constantly launching new games, but this is certainly a version that stands out from the crowd, where you can tell that they have given the game extra love in terms of features as well as design. The crisp design that constantly delivers symbols in vibrant colors adds a nice touch to the spins. They usually stick to a potential maximum win of 5000X, but this time this size is doubled to 10000X, and the spins immediately become more nerve-wracking with this in mind. It's a good size of the RTP by default and the game has a great set of features that interact in a very elegant way with each other.

Hot Pepper is a slot reminiscent of the Fruit Party series, where fruits now have been swapped for Mexican items that make up for an even hotter gaming experience.
