Chilli Gold x2 Slot

Chilli Gold x2 will definitely leave all spicy food lovers drooling over the keyboard, once they start spinning the reels. The game has a Mexican theme featuring their national dish the red hot chilli pepper. The symbols have a cartoon look and reminds us of some full throttle fiesta.

The game play is dynamic, with often small to medium wins so it doesn’t get boring after longer sessions. The background music can be a little annoying as you spin the reels, but as long as you see wins on your screen you won’t really mind.

Developers

Chilli Gold x2 is a sequel to a video slot with the same name. They are both designed by Lightning Box and follow a certain design pattern which is common for many slot games by this provider. We saw a few new releases from this provider lately and we hope they will continue to increase their offer with even better video slot games.

How to Play

Chilli Gold x2 follows the 4 rows, 5 reels and 40 pay lines design, which Lighting Box already used in a number of older video slot games. The pay lines are fixed and can’t be manipulated, while the bet level goes from $0.48 up to $400 per spin. It’s a bit strange that a 40 pay line slot has a $0.48 bet, but the extra 8 cents are used to fund the random Stellar Jackpot.

Special Features

The first thing you will notice in this game are the 3 random jackpots attached. The jackpot game is triggered randomly and is designed as a separate 6 level jackpot game.

Here you have room for only 3 errors or the bonus ends. Each arrow symbol you pick takes you to the next level and each X pick takes away one life. If you manage to pass all 6  levels you are taken to the final jackpot game where you have to match 3 of the same symbol with the mini, minor or major logo. The base play bonus feature is a classic free spins bonus.

Here you can win from a minimum of 3 up to a maximum of 21 free spins. There is no extra multiplier added to the overall bonus round but some details give it a really big payout potential.

The free spins are triggered by landing 6 or more red chilli pepper symbols on reels 2, 3 or 4. The free spins can start with only 3 for 3 red peppers and are increased by 3 for each extra pepper in the triggering combination up to the maximum 21 and the full 3 central reels with wild symbols.

Also all wining combinations which have a wild symbols substituting, red or gold pepper, are multiplied by 2. Once the free spins start you have a chance to win extra stacked gold pepper wild symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. They don’t trigger any extra free spins, but are responsible for the biggest possible payouts in this video slot game.

Maximums Payout

The maximum pay out in a single spin in Chilli Gold x2 is probably around 500 x bet during base play and well over 1,000 x bet in the free spins bonus. This is due to the wilds which can come stacked on 3 or 4 reels, the doubling multiplier they have and the 40 active pay lines available.

If you trigger the bonus with the maximum number of free spins and have a few spins with 4 wilds reels in the bonus round, we believe that wins of even 5,000 x bet are possible. Also the Stellar Jackpot is pretty attractive and usually the major jackpot starts with a decent $2,000 award.

Summary

It seems that Lightning Box had a decent level of success with their previous Chilli slot release so they decided to make a sequel of the game. Maybe they just ran of ideas and decided to go with a clone game instead.

Either way Chilli Gold x2 has a fun and interesting game play awarding small to medium wins, if you are lucky to get the wild red chilli peper symbols often. The Stellar Jackpot seems easy to trigger but progressing through all levels is very hard which is expected.

The free spins are very interesting and have the potential to payout big amounts of money even while playing on minimum bet. You still have to be careful because your balance can drop fast if the game is in a bad mood due to the weak pay table in general. Still you have to bet big to win big and with a little luck that can happen on the reels on Chilli Gold x2.
