Green Chilli

Review

This game is another addition to the catalogue of slots with Hold and Win features. There are enough twists to freshen up the formula at least a little bit. The game takes place on a classic playing field with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines.

Thematically, it is a Mexican-themed slot with visuals that are incredibly colorful. The designers knew what they were going for, and they executed it perfectly, so we have to give them a thumbs up for their efforts.

Moving on, we’d like to give you some info about the slot’s mathematical model. The volatility level is high, though its max jackpot is only 2,000x your bet. The slot’s betting range caters to essentially everyone, as it starts at £0.20 and goes to £30 per spin. Finally, the theoretical RTP clocks in at 96.65%, which is well above average.

Slot Features

The paytable features a set of 8 symbols, which are split evenly into 4 low-paying symbols and 4 high-paying symbols. For low-paying symbols, there are card ranks from Jacks to Aces, and they all pay the same, which is 1.5x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. For high-paying symbols, there are thematic symbols that show maracas, tequilas, guitars, and turkeys. Turkeys are worth the most, and pay 6x your bet for a full combination.

For special symbols, there are Wilds, Scatters and Bonus symbols. Wilds look like male characters, and they can appear on all reels. They can then not only substitute for other pay symbols to complete winning combos, but also bring you some wins on their own. For a set of 5 Wilds on a payline, you’ll get a payout worth 10x your bet.

If you land 3 or more Scatters on the playing field in one go, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 8 free spins. During free spins, Wild symbols that land are automatically transformed into Sticky Wilds that stay on the board until the end of the feature. If you find a Sticky Wild on each reel, you’ll get a bonus of 5 extra free spins.

Find 6 or more Bonus symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Game, which is heavily inspired by the popular Hold and Win formula. Only special symbols can appear on the reels during the feature, and you’ll get 3 respins to start with. Each new special symbol that appears then resets the counter back to 3, and you can also grab Jackpot symbols and Multiplier symbols.

Jackpot symbols will net you their corresponding jackpots, which can be 20x, 40x, or 100x your bet. To get to the Grand jackpot worth 2,000x your bet, however, you have to fill the entire board with symbols before running out of respins.

Multiplier symbols, meanwhile, drop a win multiplier on a position and then disappear (if there was a previous multiplier in that position, they will increase it). That win multiplier will then boost the value of the Bonus symbol that lands on it. The possible win multipliers are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 10x, while Bonus symbols are always worth between 0.5x and 15x your bet.

Review Summary

Ultimately, this is one of the better additions to the catalog of slots with Hold and Win features, and we like both its audiovisuals and gameplay features. Moreover, we are really glad that the studio decided to improve the RTPs of its games, and the game already comes with an excellent RTP of 96.65%!
