Big Time Gaming wastes no time getting players stuck into the wonderful and lively atmosphere of the Mexican market, expanding their growing collection of Megaways slots, in a game where the number of ways to win is always changing.
This dynamic feature awards an element of unpredictability, keeping players on the edge of their seats as they anticipate the formation of winning sequences. In addition, this game offers a solid maths model, including a fixed RTP of 96.50%, a high volatility score, and a generous 20,000x max win potential.
Without further ado, let’s take to the streets of Mexico and see what rewards we can find on the market.
Base Game & Features
Extra Chilli is the latest Megaways release from Big Time Gaming, consisting of 6 reels, an extra Sliding Reel, and up to 117,649 ways to win. Winning combinations occur when 2-6 matching symbols fall upon reels 1-6 (on adjacent positions), starting from reel 1.
The paytable consists of 4 coloured Chillis and 6 A, K, Q, J, 10, & 9 card suits, each awarding a fixed payout between 0.1x and 50x your bet. In true BTG fashion, the highest-paying symbol is represented by a Purple Chilli.
Furthermore, Wild symbols appear on the extra Sliding Reel only, substituting for all symbols except Scatters & Feature Drop Coins. Lastly, the Avalanche feature removes all winning symbols and replaces them with new ones from above. This enables further winning combinations to occur within the same spin.
Extra Sliding Reel
Below the main reel set sits the extra Sliding Reel, which holds up to 4 high and low-paying symbols. With each new spin, the available paytable symbols alter to reveal new ones.
If 1 or more symbols from this reel are part of a winning combination, they are removed, along with winning symbols in the main reel set, causing the remaining symbols to slide over to the rightmost position until full.
Please note that Wild symbols are only able to land on this reel throughout gameplay.
Bonus Buy
Where applicable, players within Bonus Buy territory can purchase the free Spins mode for an additional 50x their current bet. Once active, ‘HOT’ Scatters will land within the next spin, guaranteeing entry into Free Spins.
When purchasing this option, the theoretical RTP increases between 96.26% & 96.82%. The ‘Feature Drop‘ aspect of this option allows Coin symbols to drop onto the reels, lowering the total cost of the Free Spins Bonus Buy (subject to jurisdictions).
Extra Chilli has a maximum win potential of 20,000x your bet. If a game round exceeds this figure, the current mode will end, and the player returns to the base game with the full amount.
Extra Chilli Free Spins
Triggering the Free Spins mode requires a minimum of 3 Scatters, spelling out the word ‘HOT’, to land in the base game, awarding 8 Free Spins. Alternatively, landing a +4 Scatter will award an additional +4 Free Spins to your total.
In this round, a Global Multiplier becomes active, starting at x1. Each time a winning combination triggers an avalanche event, the current Multiplier increments by +x1. This multiplier applies to all wins that occur during this feature.
Finally, landing 3 or 4 Scatters awards an additional +4 and +8 Free Spins, respectively.
Free Spins Gamble
After triggering the Free Spins mode, a special Gamble Wheel appears, where players can gamble their current Free Spins for a chance to win up to 24. Alternatively, if you’re not one to take risks, you can simply click the ‘Collect’ button, which takes you straight into Free Spins.
However, if you choose to gamble, a successful spin awards an additional +4 Free Spins. After this, you can gamble again for a chance to win even more Free Spins. Please note that an unsuccessful gamble will result in a loss of Free Spins or the end of the feature entirely.
Our Honest Verdict
Extra Chilli from Big Time Gaming is exactly the right amount of heat we’re looking for in a slot, which rates quite high on the Scoville Scale. The picturesque backdrop of the Mexican market is something we don’t often see in a slot, which pairs nicely with the catchy soundtrack and quality graphics.
In the base game, the Megaways mechanic is the star of the show, with the occasional appearance of Feature Drop Coins if you’re within a permissible region. Otherwise, the base game is pretty bare in comparison to other Megaways slots.
In terms of the Free Spins mode, Big Time Gaming has created a unique Gamble Wheel, which allows players (inside and out of the UK) a chance to build upon their current Free Spins.
If you’re not one to risk it all, you may find the standard 8 Free Spins insufficient when attempting to acquire big wins, and therefore, making this game unsuitable for you.
When deciding whether to give Extra Chilli a few spins or not, the maths model may help sway your decision. On a good day, this game can deliver up to 20,000x your bet in max wins.
This figure, accompanied by the RTP of 96.50% and a high volatility score, makes Extra Chilli a promising addition to the Megaways category.
All in all, Extra Chilli adds a lot of heat to the iGaming industry through its fiery Free Spins mode and increasing Global Multiplier. If you’re looking for a new release with lively features and creative aesthetics, then Extra Chilli is the one for you.
