Extra Chilli Megaways Online Slot Description

Playable on desktop and mobile, the game has a betting range from 0.20 to 40 coins per spin. A merchant cart in the midst of a village market serves as the background to the giant reel set, which contains 9s to As as well as chillies in green, blue, red and purple colours. Hit six across the reels to win 0.8x to 50x your stake. A set of fire crackers is the wild symbol, appearing in the horizontal reel only.

Having a scatter combination spelling H-O-T in view at the end of a spin sequence will trigger 8 free spins which each further scatter adding +4 to the tally. The game leads to a gamble wheel where you can attempt to win more free spins. The first two step from 8 to 12 and 12 to 16 are all-or-nothing gambles while 16 to 24 will get you 8 and 24 to 30 will get you 12 free spins respectively should you lose the gamble. During the feature, the win multiplier will start at x1 and increase by x1 after each winning reaction, no limits. Retriggers are awarded for three or four scatters appearing in the horizontal reel on a free spin.

GAME MECHANICS

Those familiar with Bonanza, BTG’s flagship game, will be instantly at home with Extra Chilli, where Megaways and multipliers are the order of the day. Megaways creates a new number at the top of the display, showing how many combinations exist within that spin to achieve a win. These may range from a few hundred up to the maximum of 117,649 ways, and are randomly generated anew to give the game an air of unpredictability.

Running six reels across, any of the game’s reels may hold up to 7 symbols in it, and when combined with other packed reels can produce stupendous win combinations, both in the base game and during the bonus multipliers!

Implementing cascading reels as the game mechanic, every winning symbol within that sequence disappears entirely, to be replaced with an upcoming, new one in its stead. This means that cascades can go on indefinitely, and coupled with the lower reel’s added symbols can amount to mesmerizing sequences that can quickly add up!

The Wild is represented via a lit set of fireworks, and only appear on the bottom reel, and will substitute for all other symbols bar scatters, naturally, whilst the scatters themselves are rendered as gold letters. Three are needed to trigger the bonus, to spell ‘H O T’, or ‘T H O’ if you prefer, and make securing the bonus a lot easier than Bonanza.

High values symbols are pictured as crystal chillis, of which the purple ones represent the highest value, paying 50x one’s bet for 6 of a kind, whereas 9, 10, J, Q, K & A make up the remainder and do enough to keep the player’s balance ticking along.

GAME FEATURES AND BONUSES

Free spins are triggered with the appearance of 3 gold scatters, to spell H O T, with any additional scatters adding extra spins, in the form of ‘+4’.

Players are subsequently presented with a Gamble Wheel, whereby one can opt to ‘gamble’ and therefore risk the initial 8 spins given for higher rewards, in the form of more spins. The wheel’s segment favour the player initially, as 6 out of 10 parts will ensure a further 4 spins, if successful. These can then be banked, or gambled further, up to a maximum of 24 spins. It is worth noting however that losing at any point in the gamble frolics will leave the player desperately empty- handed, and somewhat embittered no doubt!

As with Bonanza, the free spin multiplier will start out at 1x, but does increase by one after each win. Meanwhile, the actual ‘Spins’ counter remains unchanged as these wins complement one another, and are part of the same sequence. It is not uncommon to be at say 5x multiplier after only the first free spin being used.
The bottom row may also present three scatters to grant a further four spins.

Coin Drops also play a part in proceedings, as in White Rabbit, and when shown onscreen will take a minute amount off the Feature Buy price. The Bonus round can therefore be bought outright for 50x your stake, but is lessened by the aforementioned Coin Drops, and will trigger itself when bludgeoned into 0. A free bonus round. Great!

CONCLUSION

Some may find the combination of being able to buy the bonus and the gamble feature a bit hard to stomach, and this alone makes Extra Chili a highly- controversial and dangerous game if played recklessly. However, it’s simply a pared- down version of a fantastic game, namely Bonanza, and is virtually indistinguishable, barring the option to purchase the bonus (and gamble wheel!).

Wins come thick and fast, and the game’s ability to swing massive wins one’s way out of nothing will always keep players captivated, and coupled with the quirky music and spicy festival fanfare makes this a great alternative to those tired of chasing that elusive D on Bonanza!
