The Chillies Slot Review

In my home town, there is this street food that I haven’t seen anywhere else. It’s a skewer of pineapple chunks🍍, rolled in masala and chili powder🌶️. And I know what you’re thinking— spicy, hot fruit😰?

However, the pineapple's intense sweetness counteracts the spice. So instead of burning your face off, the sweet and spicy complement each other perfectly🤤.

Don't overthink the impact of the pineapple's acid and spices on your stomach🔥, nor the discomfort you may experience when using the restroom later😅. It’s a perfect seaside snack.

I have witnessed many unexpecting tourists running across the beach sunburnt on the outside and erupting from the backside🥵!

I imagine the same scenario would occur if players combined the symbols in Booming Games' The Chillies slot into some kind of street food!

Gameplay

The Chillies slot takes us south of the border, to Mexico. Kind of. The background looks like a street market scene, but the sound track is more like something you’d hear in a cantina with talking and guitar music.

The screaming baby noise you’ll hear is actually a man laughing. But it is increasingly grating after hearing it for the 100th time. If you’ve been on a flight with a crying baby, it might trigger some PTSD.

The normal paying symbols on the 5 reels aren’t particularly Mexican; the major symbols include a 7, a bell, a star, and a bar symbol. The minor symbols are all fruit symbols.

Only the special symbols stick to the theme. The Wild symbols, which are 1x1 Wild, and 2 Expanding Wild symbols are chillies, and the Scatter symbol is a bottle of chili sauce.

There are 20 paylines to land winning combinations from left to right. You can bet as little as $0.20 or as much as $60. If you bet the max, you could potentially win $240,000 by way of the 4,000x peak multiplier.

The theoretical return to play is 95.4%, and the game’s volatility is high. So watch your bankroll closely, as the game tends to take significantly longer to payout.

Features

WALKING WILDS FEATURE

An Expanding Wild can nudge up or down to take over every position on the reel, triggering the Walking Wilds feature.The Expanding Wild transforms into the Walking Wild.

After any winning combinations are paid, you’re awarded a Re-spin and the banner above the reels displays multipliers, from left to right, with values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, and 7x.

The reel contains the Walking Wild Re-spins with a 1x Win Multiplier. On each new Re-spin, the Walking Wild moves one reel to the left.

Additional 1x1 Wild symbols can appear to help create wins, but only 1 more Expanding Wild can land during this feature.

The Re-spins continue until all the Expanding Wild symbols are removed from the screen. During this feature, you are unable to trigger Free Spins.

FREE SPINS

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols will award you with 9, 12, or 15 Free Spins, respectively.

During Free Spins, an inactive Win Multiplier from 1x to 10x randomly appears above each reel and activates whenever an Expanding Wild lands on that reel.

Expanding Wilds move randomly to any position on the reels, and any payline wins they help form are multiplied by the value displayed above the reel they are currently on. If there is more than one Expanding Wild in a win, the reel multipliers are added together.

BUY BONUS

You skip the base game and trigger a round of Free Spins for 100x your current bet.

Performance

Except for a few timeout errors, The Chillies slot played perfectly on my Windows laptop and Android phone.

Maximum Win

The most you can win in The Chillies slot is a spicy $240,000, which is possible if you bet the highest bet, $60, and hit the game's top multiplier of 4,000x. But if you’re here for a less intense game, the betting opens at $0.20.

Conclusion

Despite its confused theme, The Chillies slot is a great-looking game, particularly on mobile. The developers were kind enough to include a left-handed mode too, so you can switch where the controls are.

Strangely, you can only select 50 auto spins, which you can access by tapping the little + symbol next to the Spin Button. A little menu pops out, and you can also mute the game’s soundtrack and sound effects.

I did so as soon as I found it because, good lord, that screeching laugh is like hot sauce in your ears!

This game is fairly generous with its Free Spins, and the Walking Expanded Wilds can help create a lot of wins if you’re lucky. Although I was severely disappointed with the expensive Buy Bonus, it’s better to trigger Free Spins naturally, in my opinion.

This is a solid slot all round, but you need to check the stats and decide if this game is going to be a winner for yourself.
