Double Hot Habanero Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Double Hot Habanero is the latest offering from CT Gaming online slots. This title is a five-reel, three-row traditional online slot with 5 paylines.

As the name suggests, food is the theme of the game, with some particularly delicious-looking symbols appearing on the reels, from a mouthwatering plantain or lobster to some crayfish and a mango.

Watch out for the habanero pepper, which acts as a wild symbol in the game whilst also multiplying wins by up to 8x.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The food-themed symbols look particularly mouthwatering, with the butter melting on the sweetcorn looking especially tasty. On the whole, the graphics are a little basic, but this doesn't detract at all from the gameplay.

Winning symbols animate briefly when a win is achieved, and the paylines are highlighted when this happens. This makes it easy to keep track of where your wins are coming from.

There is no real soundtrack in Double Hot Habanero; there are just some sound effects that play as reels come to rest and a quick Cuban-sounding trumpet jingle if you achieve a big win. This makes for fewer distractions to gameplay, but something a little more rich would have been appreciated here.

Double Hot Habanero RTP and variance

Double Hot Habanero has a long-term average RTP of 95.20%, making it well below the average for games of this type. The medium volatility provides balanced gameplay with big wins, even if they take patience to land.

How to Play Double Hot Habanero

1. It is always a great idea to take a look at the paytable when starting to play a new game for the first time. The paytable in Double Hot Habanero is found by clicking on the 'i' to the top left of the reels. The paytable shows how wins are calculated and explains how bonus features work.

2. Set your bet by clicking on the cog symbol in the bottom left corner of the reels. This symbol then provides an up and down arrow, which cycles the bet through the different available options.

3. The cog menu also offers the autoplay feature. Within the autoplay feature, it is possible to set the reels to spin repeatedly without any input. You can spin the reels up to 1,000 times. Autoplay can also be set to run by clicking and holding the spin button for two seconds.

4. Spin the reels manually by clicking the button at the bottom right corner of the reels.

5. Please play Double Hot Habanero responsibly by setting a budget for each session and ensuring you stick to it if spins are not going your way. When the fun stops, end your session.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

The minimum bet per line is 0.01, making the total spin bet 0.05.

The maximum line bet is 1.00, making the total spin bet 5.00.

In contrast to many other games, every amount from 0.01 to 1.00 is available as a line bet, making this amount highly customisable to suit all budgets.

Matching 5x the female symbol on a payline pays out 1,000x the line bet.

Matching 5x the male symbol on a payline pays out 500x the line bet.

The food-based symbols pay out between 200x and 50x the line bet if five are matched on a payline.

Matching 5x Cubra Libre scatter symbols anywhere on the reels also provides a win of 500x the line bet.

Double Hot Habanero Bonus Features

A single wild on the reels multiplies any wins by two. Getting two wilds multiplies winnings by four. If you are lucky enough to land three wilds on the screen, all wins are subject to an 8x multiplier.

For any win at a level of less than 10x the total bet, you have the opportunity to double up your winnings by taking the gamble. Be quick when this option is available as it disappears after five seconds.

If you choose to gamble, you are presented with a card. If you can correctly guess whether it will be red or black, you can double your winnings. If you can correctly guess its suit (spade, diamond, club or heart), you will quadruple your winnings.

You can leave at any time, or you can choose to continue gambling until you win up to 50x your total bet.

Double Hot Habanero Review - Our Verdict

Double Hot Habanero provides gameplay that is very easy to understand with only five paylines to keep track of. Most players expect more than five paylines on the reels when they are playing games these days, so there may be little to make this game stand out in a crowded marketplace.
