Extra Chilli Slot Review 2023

If you enjoyed Big Time Gaming’s Bonanza slot, it is time to roll up your sleeves in readiness for its sequel. The Extra Chilli slot game is an intriguing and popular sequel to Bonanza that offers plenty of entertainment and is packed with spicy bonus features. If you like Latin flavours, this could be the slot for you!

In this Extra Chilli slot review, we will break this slot down for you and give you all the key details you need. Read on to find out whether Extra Chilli is a dish full of flavour or just another bland disappointment.

When it comes to the Extra Chilli slot, Big Time Gaming has produced a game that has 6 reels, but a variable number of rows up to 7. This is because symbols can be of different sizes. There are also a massive 117,649 possible paylines. This number is so huge part because of the extra row of symbols that appears under the second, third, fourth and fifth reels. The symbols that appear on this extra row slide in from the right-hand side rather than being spun down from the reels. They play a full part in generating wins for you.

Extra Chilli slot UK players can place a minimum bet of 20p and a maximum of £2000, though this may change depending on which casino you are using. The maximum win you can collect is 10,000x your stake. An autoplay function is available if you want to enjoy this game’s lush graphics and immersive sound without having to worry about spinning the reels. The game was released by BTG in April 2018.

Extra Chilli Slot RTP

The RTP of the Extra Chilli slot varies between 96.26% and 96.82% if you are playing using the Feature Drop option. When you play it with the Feature Drop is not in operation, its RTP is 96.15% to 96.41%. We’ll tell you all about Feature Drop later. This RTP is pretty typical for a slot of this type. By way of comparison, the original Bonanza slot has an RTP of 96.00%, while Big Time Gaming’s Monopoly Megaways slot has an RTP of 96.50%.

This slot has a high variance, which means that you should be watching out for the chance to make some big wins. Your chances of a big win every so often should be greater than the chances of frequent small wins. Obviously, nothing is set in stone when it comes to slots, but this tallied with our experience when we played the Extra Chilli slot casino game.

The Extra Chilli online slot looks gorgeous. There are a richness and detail to the graphics in this game that really makes it stand out. This is typical of Big Time Gaming, a developer that likes to pay close attention to the visual appeal of their slots. The reels are set on a street food vendor’s stall that is decorated with bunches of garlic and chilli peppers. Behind the reels, there is a vivid depiction of a Latino food market. Its colours are lovely, and there is a real sense of a sunny Spanish street.

The sound effects are also impressive. The Latin theme is reflected in the game’s music, which is of a higher quality than that found in many other slots. If you leave the reels without spinning for a while, the ambient sounds of the market place can be heard. This is a nice touch that helps to create a really immersive atmosphere. There are some pleasingly bouncy musical themes that are played when the reels spin and wins appear too.

Look out for Chilli Gems and Wild Fireworks

The higher value symbols on the reels match the theme of the game perfectly. They are all different coloured chilli peppers but made out of gems. You will see red, green and purple peppers. The lower value symbols are the usual set of numbers and letters that you see on many slots, with 9,10, J, Q, K and A all appearing.

As well as the chilli gemstones, you need to watch out for the wild and scatter symbols. The wild is a fizzing bunch of fireworks, while the scatters are the golden letters H, O and T. The wild will substitute for all other symbols apart from the scatters, but it can only appear on the extra row of symbols below the reels. We’ll look at how those scatter symbols play a key role for you in the next section of this Extra Chilli slot game review.

If you’re playing the Extra Chilli slot online you will notice that there are 3 features in this game. There is the free spins main bonus feature, as well as 2 little additional features that can boost your chances of big wins. We’ll give you the full details here.

• Extra Chilli Slot Feature Drop
  
  When you play this slot you will notice a box to the right of the reels that are marked, Feature Drop. There is a number in this box, and a green tab marked ‘Buu’ located just beneath it. The number is the amount of credit that you need to expend to buy into the bonus feature. This number will decrease every time a gold coin appears on the reels. It can drop as low as zero, but this might take some time.

• Reactions
  
  This is a slot that uses a collapsing reels type feature to help generate more wins for you. You may have seen something similar in classic slots such as Da Vinci Diamonds from IGT. Each time a win spins in, the symbols that created that win for you fall away and are replaced by new ones. This process continues until no more wins are possible.
  
  
• Free Spins
  
  The main bonus feature in the Extra Chilli slot is its free spins. This feature is triggered when 3 of the H, O or T symbols land anywhere on view on the reels. If you get 3 scatters, you will receive 8 free spins. Any more symbols than 3 will see you awarded an extra 4 spins. You can also benefit from a multiplier that starts at x1 for your first free spins win and increases by 1x every time a consecutive win appears. If a spin does not result in a win, the multiplier value is reset to x1.
  
  You will also receive more free spins if the bowl of chilli symbol appears on the horizontal reels below the main reels. If 3 or 4 of these symbols decide to show up then you receive 4 or 8 free spins. You can gamble these to see if you can pick up, even more, spins, up to a maximum of 24. Of course, you will lose all of the free spins if you opt to gamble.

We loved this game. It is one of the most visually beautiful slots that we have seen, and someone has put plenty of time and effort into the sound effects too. This really looks like a game that its developers cared about. There is plenty of potential for lucrative wins in its bonus features too.

So this Extra Chilli slot review will end on a hugely positive note. We recommend that you give this game a spin, whether you are a new slots player or a seasoned veteran. If you like the taste of hit chilli, you might also want to try Chilli Heat from Pragmatic Play, or possibly Chilli Chilli Bang Bang from iSoftBet.
