Chilli Picante Megaways Slot Game Background
Blueprint Gaming is one of the world’s premier iGaming developers, having produced classic slot games as Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways alongside the popular Eye of Horus Megaways. Chilli Picante Megaways is an altogether different beast from those two games, taking place on the outskirts of a sleepy Mexican village and celebrating the exotic and spicy cuisine of the country. Along with the appealing visual presentation, Blueprint adds extra ingredients in the form of bonus features centered around flaming-hot chili peppers.
Chilli Picante Megaways Game Design
Chilli Picante Megaways is a 6-reel online casino game with anywhere between 2 - 7 rows, depending on the on-screen action and the size of the symbols in view. The slot also offers the standard (for a Megaways slot) of 117,649 paylines and a potential maximum payout of 50,000x the stake. Unlike most Megaways slots, Chilli Picante Megaways doesn’t have an extra horizontal reel that sits above or below the main game grid and contributes to cascades or reactions.
The slot takes place on a sandy dune on the outskirts of a Mexican village. Cacti cluster and blow in the wind around the bottom of the screen, while cloud-covered mountains occupy the background. In between lie the desert sands and the village itself. Time is divided between day and night depending on whether you’re in the base game or the Free Spins feature. The game grid is set in a wooden frame, while the reels contain symbols that lean on the tried and tested Mexican tropes: chili peppers, piñatas, skulls, mariachi instruments, etc. The game logo sits squarely on the top left of the screen. Below this is a table showing the Chilli Hot Cashpot prizes. In the base game, the Megaways counter is directly above the game grid. At night, it sits in the bottom-left of the game grid.
The music in Chilli Picante Megaways also heavily leans into the traditional Mexican tropes by having a soundtrack composed of an uptempo mariachi band that fits well with the slot’s visual presentation, although the music it plays changes depending on whether you’re spinning the reels, in between spins, or looking at the paytable. Occasionally, a deep Mexican voice will speak words of encouragement to the player.
Chilli Picante Megaways Mobile
Chilli Picante Megaways, like all the online slots on the Lottomart site, is available to play on desktops, tablets, and mobile platforms like Android and Apple. All that’s needed is a stable internet connection or mobile data.
Chilli Picante Megaways Slot Symbols
The lowest-paying symbols on the paytable are inevitably the royal playing cards. Each number/letter has a distinct value for 6-of-a-kind on the reels. The 10, J, and Q cards have a payout of 1x the stake, while the K and A symbols have a higher value of 2x the stake.
Mariachi instruments and piñata next and these symbols have a payout of 10x the stake for 6-of-a-kind. Meanwhile, the skull has a higher payout of 15x the stake for 6-of-a-kind. The highest-paying symbol is the bottle, with a payout of 25x the stake. There are also blue and red chili pepper symbols with a payout of 5x the stake for 6-of-a-kind.
No self-respecting slot would be without its bonus symbols, and Chilli Picante Megaways is no exception. The slot’s Scatter symbol is a golden chili pepper that awards a certain number of Free Spins depending on the number that land on the reels. The Wild symbol, represented by a sombrero-wearing Mexican gentleman, appears only in the Free Spins bonus round.
Chilli Picante Megaways Bonus Features
Blueprint Gaming has packed a slew of exciting bonuses and features into Chilli Picante Megaways!
Chilli Hot Cashpot Feature
Chilli Picante Megaways features special blue chili pepper symbols that are involved in the Chilli Hot Cashpot feature, and winning a prize requires that players land at least 3 of these symbols on the reels. The more blue chilies that land on the reels the greater the prize amount.
- 3 blue chilli symbols = 1x the total bet.
- 4 blue chilli symbols = 5x the total bet.
- 5 blue chilli symbols = 10x the total bet.
- 6 blue chilli symbols = 40x the total bet.
- 7 blue chilli symbols = 100x the total bet.
- 8 blue chilli symbols = 250x the total bet.
- 9 blue chilli symbols = 1,000x the total bet.
Free Spins Feature
The Free Spins feature is the main bonus round in Chilli Picante Megaways and requires that players land at least 3 golden pepper Scatter symbols on the reels. The number of initial free spins depends on the number of Bonus symbols that triggered it.
- 3 Scatter symbols = 10 Free Spins.
- 4 Scatter symbols = 15 Free Spins.
- 5 Scatter symbols = 20 Free Spins.
- 6 Scatter symbols = 25 Free Spins.
The Wild symbol comes into play during the bonus round, substituting for all other paying symbols and collecting the prize values from all and any chili symbols on the reels. Said prize values range from 2x to 50x the stake. Multiple Wild symbols can land during the Free Spins round, taking turns to collect the value of the chili symbols when they do.
Every Wild symbol that lands during the feature is added to a progress bar at the top of the game grid. Every 4 Wild symbols in view awards additional free spins + multiplier.
- 4 Wild symbols = 10 Free Spins + 2x multiplier.
- 8 Wild symbols = 10 Free Spins + 3x multiplier.
- 12 Wild symbols = 10 Free Spins + 5x multiplier.
The incorporation of the Megaways engine means that each reel can reveal a certain number of symbols in view. Landing consecutive symbols on all reels after a spin could lead to a maximum of 117,649 ways to win.
