EXTRA CHILLI SYMBOLS AND BONUS FEATURES
In the spirit of a chilli pepper theme, players will find 4 top-paying chillis in purple, red, blue and green. Each can appear as one space or two spaces tall. The purple chilli can create winning way wins of just 2 symbols long. Players will also find 6 bottom-paying royal flush letters and numbers in unique colours.
Besides chattering Spanish shoppers at a bustling outdoor market, a distinctive Mexican tune plays on each round.
The main feature of extra Chilli is undoubtedly the MegawaysTM mechanic that randomizes the number of ways to win on each spin. It was created by Big Time Gaming but can be found in slots from other developers. Another unique feature of Extra Chilli is the extra reel below vertical reels 2-5.
Winning symbols disappear as part of the Reactions feature. The gaps created are then replaced by symbols from above (vertical reels) or from the right (horizontal reel). This can create further reactions that keep the round going longer.
Although scatter symbols are common in video slots, the scatter here works a little differently. It takes 3 scatters to trigger the 8 Free Spins feature. However, they must spell the word H-O-T. For each scatter after the first 3, an extra 4 Free Spins are added. Arguably, the best part of the Free Spins is the accompanying unlimited win multiplier that increases by one on each successive reaction. During the Free Spins only, scatters appear on the horizontal reel only. Landing 3 or 4 scatters award an additional 4 or 8, respectively.
When first unlocking the Free Spins game, it is preceded by the Free Spins Gamble feature. This is an optional feature giving players a chance to increase the number of Free Spins up to 24. It involves a wheel that can award 4 additional Free Spins at a time when successful. If unsuccessful, the default number of Free Spins displayed in black is awarded.
The sparks fly with the wild symbol in the shape of firecrackers that substitutes for all regular-paying symbols. These only appear on the extra reel.
If you're tired of waiting for the Free Spins feature to drop, then you can use the optional Buy Feature at the cost of the displayed amount. Feature Drop symbols appearing on the reels during spins cumulatively reduce the Buy Feature price to as low as zero.
RTP OF EXTRA CHILLI
Extra Chilli has an RTP of 96.15%-96.41% but can range from 96.26%-96.82% during the Feature Drop. Make no mistake, Extra Chilli is a very high volatility slot, as you might expect from the very high maximum payout.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
After the release of Bonanza, it was hard to imagine that Big Time Gaming could ever top it. Extra Chilli does just this with the high-intensity features, including the MegawaysTM mechanic and the extra horizontal reel, along with others.
After being released in March 2018, Extra Chilli continues to be one of the top-performing games from the provider. It's great to see the features unfolding before your eyes on each spin, and the charm of the Mexican theme, artwork, and soundtrack is the icing on the cake. Slot games like this don't come around every day, which is why we suggest that you take it out for a spin.
