Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Red Hot Tamales has a mexican theme with a classic slot machine set up. The game centres around the popular Mexican dish. A traditional Mexican food, a tamale is made from dough which is usually corn based, and is filled with meat, vegetables, cheeses, or chillies. The dough and filling is wrapped in a banana leaf or corn husk and steamed and the leaf or husk can be used as a plate. Amazingly, the Classic Maya hieroglyph for tamales has been found on objects such as pots which date back to over a thousand years ago! This dish is still widely popular and tamales are an important part of the menu in festivals and holidays, with special fillings for specific occasions and celebrations. Of course, one of the main features of a great tamale is the spicy chillies and this slot focuses on some extra spicy Red Hot Tamales!

A cheerful looking green chilli character wearing a huge sombrero welcomes you to the slot, the red background reflects the heat of the chillies and there are flames flickering along the bottom of the screen. In the corner of the screen, there are some tamales that are literally on fire illustrating just how hot this game is! The slot looks appealing and has a classic slot set up with 3x3 reel structure and some traditional slot machine symbols on the reels. There are red lucky 7 symbols and yellow lucky 7s which both feature a flaming tamale and also a green 7 symbol. There are red single bar symbols, blue double bars and yellow triple bars and the other symbol on the reels is a flaming wild, which further enhances the theme.

We would have expected a soundtrack with a little more of a Mexican flavour to go with the theme but there are some classic slot sound effects and there are some simple animations to enhance play.

If players enjoy Red Hot Tamales, then you may wish to try the Extra Chilli slot from Big Time Gaming which is perfect for slot playing chilli lovers!

Overall Review

Red Hot Tamales is an entertaining slot from IGT which will really appeal to fans of the classic 3 reel slot games. The Mexican tamale theme is fun and the slot looks great but this is a very simple slot so players who enjoy lots of bonus features and extra games may be a little disappointed. However, those who like straightforward, easy-to-play slots will certainly want to give this one a spin to try to get that Blackout Win and bag the game’s top prize.
