Red and Hot Chilli Slot Review
Last week at a wing night, a friend of mine ordered extra-hot sauce at the table next to me. After telling us it wasn't even that hot, two bites later, he had sweat pouring from every pore and tears running down his cheek as he held a napkin over his eyes. 🥵
Someone brought him a glass of milk to drink and he pushed it off saying he would never go back on what he said. 🥹 We all took videos of him, and he'll be reminded of it for a long time to come.
Now, if you are looking to learn how to keep a straight face, I know a guy who can help you out - The Mustached Pepper in the Red and Hot Chilli slot machine by BGAMING.
Gameplay
The game drops you on a sunny desert street lined with buildings and a big cactus. The reels sit in a red patterned frame over dark blue tiles, making up a 5x5 grid with 20 paylines.
The chilli from the intro keeps his post to the right of the grid, sombrero on and arms still crossed, while a rooster holding the Buy Bonus sign waits on the left.
The Maracas symbol leads the paytable, shaking loose 12.5x for 5-of-a-kind. Next in line are the Hot Sauce at 10x and the Sombrero at 7.5x, followed by the Avocado at 5x and the Tequila at 4x. On the lower end, the A, K, Q, J and 10 pay 1x, 0.9x, 0.8x, 0.7x, and 0.6x, respectively.
The Wild fills in for every paying symbol except the Scatter symbol and the Lucky Coin symbol. Line up 5 Wilds and they pay 12.5x on their own.
A quick look at the stats reveals a 96.35% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., low/medium volatility, a 5,000x max multiplier, and a $290,000 max win.
Features
LUCKY COIN
Get 3 or more Lucky Coins onto the grid to trigger an instant win, with each coin carrying a random 2x to 100x multiplier.
BONUS GAME
Land 3 or more Scatters and you're off to a round played on a 5x5 board, with every cell hidden behind a mystery crate.
You crack the crates open one at a time, or hand the job over to auto-pick, and any of them could be hiding a Lucky Coin, Bag of Gold, Multiplier, Chilli, Max Win symbol or Bomb.
With 3 Scatters, the round kicks off with 3 Lucky Coins, while 4 Scatters gets you 4, at least 1 of them Silver. Picks keep going until a Bomb shows up, ending the round and paying out the total of everything you collected.
Lucky Coin
Inside the round, coins have a value ranging from 2x up to 250x, and the special symbols around them can push that value higher.
Multiplier
The moment a Multiplier opens, it multiplies every Coin, Bag of Gold and Chilli already showing on the board by its own value, once. More than 1 Multiplier can turn up on the same board.
Bag of Gold
A Bag of Gold copies the value of every open Coin, Chilli and fellow Bag of Gold and adds the lot to its own value. The copied symbols stay right where they are, so nothing gets taken from them.
Chilli
A Chilli scoops up the values of every open Coin, Bag of Gold and other Chilli, then shuts every opened cell on the board apart from its own. Those closed cells can be opened again, with fresh random symbols inside.
Only 1 Chilli works the board at a time, so a new one swallows the previous Chilli's value and takes its place.
Bomb
Once you find a bomb, the round is over.
Max Win symbol
You have a chance of landing the Max Win symbol. There's also a dedicated Max Win round, which gives you a single shot at finding the symbol on a board packed with Bombs.
GAMBLE
Once the round wraps up, a pop-up offers a 50/50 gamble on the whole prize. Keep in mind, if you’re unsuccessful, you lose the entire prize from the round.
The 5,000x max multiplier applies to the gamble as well, so a winning gamble that would push past it gets cut back down to 5,000x.
BUY BONUS AND ANTE BET
Chance 2x is an Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. that adds 30% to your bet on every spin, and in return it doubles your chances of landing the Scatters that trigger the round.
If that’s not interesting enough, Coin Hunt drops you into the Bonus round for 80x with 3 Lucky Coins. Chilli Blast asks 200x and starts you off with 4 Lucky Coins, 1 of them guaranteed to be Silver.
Performance
The chilli held his straight face through a long run of spins and crate-opening rounds, and the slot matched him, with no lag, no glitches, and every crate registering the instant I picked it.
Maximum Win
The max win tops out at $290,000, which is the 5,000x max multiplier on the $58 top bet. The smallest bet you can place is $0.20.
Conclusion
The game's paylines pay small, and the base-game Lucky Coin hit is a one-off. Everything big rides on the crate round, where Bags of Gold and Chillies pile up the Coins already open and a Multiplier scales the lot.
Reaching the max multiplier means a long round where Coins, a Bag of Gold and a Chilli all stack up before a Multiplier lands on top of them. Any pick can be the Bomb that shuts the whole thing down.
For a low/medium volatility game, the max multiplier is generous, so the swings you sign up for come with a prize worth the trouble, which works out in your favor.
The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. lets you settle in for longer sessions, and the moderate swings won't chase you out of the chair early.
By my own arithmetic, Chance 2x is the best-priced of the three paid options. If doubling the odds of landing the Scatters holds true, paying 30% more per spin works out to about a third less cost per round reached.
Chilli Blast runs 2.5x the price of Coin Hunt for 1 extra starting Coin and a guaranteed Silver, so Coin Hunt is the cheaper way in.
The Gamble is a coin flip with the whole prize on the line, so it's only for players who are fine with all or nothing.
Moderate-risk players who like steering the round themselves, pick by pick, will feel right at home with the crates. Anyone hunting a classic Free Spins round should keep walking.
