Chili Bonanza X UP

Chili Bonanza X UP Review

This developer has a family of studios, and they freely share features. Chili Bonanza X UP uses the X UP format.

The base game involves collecting X UP tokens to boost the multiplier for the bonus round. Expanding wilds appear on all reels in all game stages. The multiplier can be upgraded during the FS round, reaching x50 for payouts up to 50,000x your stake. Chili Bonanza X UP has its own appeal, and the math model might interest new players and series fans.

Chili Bonanza X UP Slot Features

Symbols pay between 2.33 and 4 x your stake for 5-of-a-kind wins. Wilds can appear on all reels. Wilds always expand to cover the entire reel when they appear, substituting for pay symbols. Pure wild wins pay up to 4.17x your stake for 5 of a kind.

Landing exactly 2 scatters awards 1 X UP token, collected on the Multiplier Meter. The meter starts at x2, and collecting tokens moves you up. 23 collected tokens reach the x50 multiplier. The multiplier is inactive until the bonus round.

3 scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 trigger the Bonus Round, awarding 8 free spins with a 2x scatter payout. The achieved multiplier is active from the first free spin. The bonus round triggers automatically if you reach the x50 multiplier.

The multiplier can increase during the bonus round, up to x50. Scatters appear on reels 2 and 4 during the feature. 2 scatters award +2 extra spins and one X UP token. The multiplier boosts wins for the bonus round duration, resetting upon returning to the base game.

The Upsizer and Bonus Buy features are available in some regions. The Upsizer allows paying to upgrade to a higher multiplier after triggering the bonus round. Buying the feature gives a random starting multiplier between x1 and x50.

Review Summary

Players familiar with the X UP system won't find anything new in Chili Bonanza X UP. Expanding wilds assist in all stages, often landing in pairs, especially on the first two reels.

Having symbols pay 2.33x and 4.17x the stake is not ideal. The X UP system encourages postponing the bonus round trigger until a good multiplier is reached, unless you pay for the Upsizer. The 50,000x potential is a highlight.
