Chilli Pop slot machine: features
The atmosphere players are transported to is festive and colorful in Chilli Pop: on the main street of the Mexican village, flanked by typical houses, saloons and cacti, you are accompanied by mariachi sounds throughout the session. The music is cheerful, the sun shines in the sky and on the hanging festoons you wait to hit the piñata or travel a path on donkey back.
The game dynamics offer wins whenever 3 or more symbols align forming groups of 3 to 70 elements on reels, which can expand from a 5x3 grid up to 8x8 dimensions. Each symbol is assigned a value, so we have: an orange and a yellow chili that pay 0.24x per icon, the onion that offers 0.14x, the orange pepper worth 0.12x, the red pepper that pays 0.10x and finally the green pepper, cherry tomato and leek that offer 0.04x per icon.
These symbols are joined by a friendly mule with poncho and sombrero that acts as a Scatter and awards 5 to 26 free spins, plus a colorful piñata that serves as Wild and symbol multiplier. Additionally, it's possible, at an additional cost, to buy 10 free spins that will activate the Mule Trail feature, ensuring that as mules appear on the grid, it expands allowing for bigger prize wins. In standard rounds, it's finally possible, using the Double Up button, to double your win with an exciting heads or tails game.
The minimum base bet amount is €0.50, while the maximum is €10.00. The highest win possible per spin is 2,067x the base bet.
