Hot Pepper Review
The Chili theme is a popular genre, and a spicy and volatile addition has been made with Hot Pepper. The 7x7 grid is set against a desert valley sunset, and it’s filled with limes, tacos, piñatas, and a happy amigo with a sombrero.
This game comes with a similar upgradable multiplier wild system. The wilds spawn in empty positions after each tumble win, and you get only wild multipliers from the highest level in the bonus round. The 10,000x potential has been doubled, and the win cap probability is a better 1 in 119,190 spins as well.
Hot Pepper Slot Features
You win by landing between 5 and 15+ matching symbols in a cluster, and 5-oak pays between 0.1 and 1 x your stake. Winning clusters of 15+ symbols pay between 10 and 50 x your stake, and all winning symbols are removed via the Tumble mechanic.
A Wild Multiplier chilli symbol with a random multiplier value is generated per removed winning cluster, and new and/or existing symbols then drop down to fill the gaps. The chilli wild can help complete new wins, and those wins are boosted by the wild multiplier. The multiplier value is determined by a level system, and you level up for every 3 chilli multiplier wilds that partake in a win in the same tumble sequence:
- Level - winning clusters with 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, or 11+ symbols awards wild multiplier values of x1, x2, x4, or x8, respectively.
- Level - winning clusters with 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, or 11+ symbols awards wild multiplier values of x2, x4, x8, or x16, respectively.
- Level - winning clusters with 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, or 11+ symbols awards wild multiplier values of x4, x8, x16, or x32, respectively.
- Level - winning clusters with 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, or 11+ symbols awards wild multiplier values of x8, x16, x32, or x64, respectively.
- Level - winning clusters with 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, or 11+ symbols awards wild multiplier values of x16, x32, x64, or x128, respectively.
If more than one multiplier wild is part of the same winning cluster, the multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win. The level you have achieved is always reset between base game spins.
You need 3 scatters in view in the same tumble sequence to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 12 free spins. The multiplier wilds you get in the bonus round are always from level 5, and you win +5 extra spins when you land 3 scatters in the same tumble sequence. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake.

Review Summary
This Mexicana presentation is great, and the gameplay is fairly similar to other games. Hot Pepper comes with a wild multiplier level up system that’s somewhat different, and the top multiplier is a bit lower than other games. You’ll soon forget about the lower top-tier wild multiplier though, once you take a peek under the hood to admire the math model.
The 10,000x potential is better, and perhaps even more significantly; the max win probability is 1 in 119,190 spins. This is a significant improvement from other games, so there is no doubt about which release is preferrable. Things heat up when you always get wild multipliers from the top shelf in the bonus round, and this is a highly entertaining grid slot.
