The base game has a breezy, fiesta feel: to the strains of Mariachi-style music, players spin for symbols like the Chihuahua, sombrero-wearing man, and smiling, moustachioed sun. But the adrenaline soon ramps up with Chilli Heat’s combination of stacked wilds, fixed jackpots, free spins, and a rich, rewarding re-spin bonus mechanic.
In free spins rounds, all royals are removed from the reels, leaving only high-paying symbols and the potential for significant wins. Re-spins are triggered by landing six or more money-bags, at which point all other symbols vanish, and players are given a pool of 3 re-spins. Each re-spin can reveal a new bag with either a direct monetary award or a ‘mini’ or ‘major’ fixed jackpot. For every new bag, the re-spin pool is reset to 3, and the round ends in one of two ways: either players deplete their pool and the total is paid out, or they fill the screen with bags, earning their combined pay-out as well as triggering the ‘grande’ jackpot.
Despite a calm exterior, and a quiet Mexican village backdrop, Chilli Heat is a dynamic game that rewards players in true Pragmatic Play™ style: with peaks of excitement, excellent presentation, and the potential for huge wins if they can withstand the heat!
