chilli inferno slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

What is it with online slot developers and chillies, eh? We all know of Big Time Gaming’s influential machine Extra Chilli, which was one of the foundations for all the Megaways online slots that we know and love today. Even before the release of Extra Chili, however, this special plant had been a popular theme for online slots, and that tradition has only strengthened because of BTG’s success. The most recent example I can recall would be Blueprint Gaming’s Chilli Picante Megaways, a game that I remember best for being extremely buggy when I first began testing it! Thankfully, Blueprint ironed out all its flaws before it went on general release, and it turned out to be a great game. So how does Oros Gaming’s new entry in the genre compare to such high-profile competition? To find out, we’ll start by investigating the game's paytable.

At the top of the paytable, you will find payouts for the game's scatter symbols; this is a pleasant surprise, as it feels as if cash payouts for bonus-triggering symbols are going extinct in recent times. Chilli Inferno will pay you 2x your bet for three scatters, increasing to 15x and 100x for four or five scatters, respectively. Next, we have the wild, which has a small premium attached to it above the payouts for the regular symbols. The game will award you 10x your bet for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind, compared with 6x your bet for all five of the axe-wielding chillies. Yes, I did say “axe-wielding chillies”… perhaps I was wrong when I said that this game comes with no risk whatsoever! The pink ghost chilli (Ghost Chilli! Geddit? Hahaha! Ah, Oros, you jokers!) will also pay you 6x the current stake for a full pay line of those, followed by the umm… pink carrot chilli(?) and his friend the green chilli which are both worth 4x for all five. Five royal symbols complete the table, with returns of between 1x and 2x for complete pay lines of five-of-a-kind.

Chilli Inferno includes a “Win Booster” option – effectively a bonus bet – which will double your chances of triggering the link and win feature in return for a small premium on top of the regular spin cost. Without the win booster enabled, the minimum and maximum wagers are €0.25 and €25.00 per round, respectively, increasing to €0.35 and €35.00 if you choose to play with the feature enabled.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game is straightforward – five reels of three rows each, with 25 paylines spanning the playfield. This is the most common slot machine configuration out there and will feel instantly familiar to every player – even newcomers will have no problems getting to grips with the arrangement and mechanics on offer here. Unsurprisingly then, you’ll need to hit three or more matching symbols on a pay line starting from the left to bag yourself some winnings, too.

I consider the “Link & Win” and free spins features to be bonus rounds, so I have included them in the next section. We do have a couple of small items left to discuss here though.

chilli inferno slot bonus features

Two main bonus rounds are included in the Chilli Inferno video slot – first, hitting three or more scatter symbols will award seven, 10, or 20 free spins depending on the number of triggering scatters. Next, we have the Link & Win feature; this one is triggered by hitting at least six orb symbols during either the base game or the free spins. Let's find out more about these below.
