Hot and Spicy Megaways

Hot and Spicy Megaways Review

This game sticks to the classic fruit machine design, with a fiery backdrop and a grid full of different fruits and other classic symbols. In terms of features, it's simple. It comes with the dynamic reels engine, so it’s not a 3-reeler.

There are no cascading wins, but this keeps the pace up, and you can plow through plenty of spins. Wilds help you out on the 4 middle reels, and the main feature sits above the grid in the form of a Chilly Mini Slot. It dishes out win multipliers of x3, x6, or x9 regularly, but you need to also win on the main grid to benefit from the multiplier boost. The 21,870x potential is good, and players looking for a simpler Megaways experience will probably enjoy this.

Hot and Spicy Megaways Slot Features

The fruit symbols pay between 0.5 and 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and you win by landing 3 to 6 matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. The red shiny lucky number 7 Wild symbol can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 only, and it substitutes for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild has no value of its own.

The blue Star Scatter symbol can appear on all 6 reels, and you need at least 3 to land a scatter win. You win 2x, 10x, 50x, or 500x your stake when you land 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters anywhere on the same spin.

Above the regular grid you will see the ‘Chilly Mini Slot’, and it comes with 1 row and 3 reels. The mini slot lands either single, double, or triple chilli symbols on all 3 of the reels, and you need matching symbols on all 3 reels to win a multiplier. The multiplier remains at x1 if you land non-matching combinations. Here is an overview of the possible win multipliers you can get from this mini slot:

• 3 single chilli symbols awards a win multiplier of x3.
• 3 double chilli symbols awards a win multiplier of x6.
• 3 triple chilli symbols awards a win multiplier of x9.

Whatever chilli multiplier you win will boost any wins on the main grid for the current spin, and the Chilly Mini Slot spins again for each new spin on the main grid.

Review Summary

This is a simple Megaways release with Hot and Spicy Megaways. The pace is excellent, and there are no cascading wins to slow you down. Players looking for tons of moving parts and extras should probably look elsewhere.

You’ve got wild symbols to help you out on the 4 middle reels, and the Chilly Mini Slot is your best bet at landing larger payouts. Most of the time it lands a mixed combo which does nothing. Occasionally your win will be boosted by x3, x6, or x9 though, and this is how you’re most likely to close in on the 21,870x potential. There is no bonus round to look forward to.
