Chili Chili Fire - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If Chili Chili Fire looks familiar, you may have seen it on a land-based machine, but now Konami have modified it for the online market. Vivid graphics and three exciting bonus features ensure the standard 5x3 layout and 30 paylines stay exciting, with lots of opportunities for rewards. If you’re looking for free slot demos, this is a good start.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

On golden cobblestones that could feature on any stereotypical Mexican street sit the reels of Chili Chili Fire, and they are hot. The graphics are bold, straight from a cartoon, and symbols from the turkey to the guitar to the beautiful woman to the chest full of treasure (as well as those flaming chilis, of course) are drawn in vivid detail. It’s a colourful, lively slot with an engaging atmosphere. It’s just a shame that the soundtrack doesn’t have the same kind of depth. There’s no music here - just the occasional click, beep or whirr of a traditional slot machine that you could find anywhere.

Chili Chili Fire RTP and Variance

You’ll be glad to see that Chili Chili Fire has an RTP of 96.09%, putting it right among the best modern slots. As always, don’t go planning your future based on an RTP. It’s a long-term average, which means any single individual spin could vary wildly for better or worse. The variance appears to be medium to high, suggesting it’s relatively balanced but leans towards risky.

How to Play Chili Chili Fire

Step into the heat to take on this slot:

1. Pretty much everything you need is lined up under the reels. You’ll be glad to see it starts with a Help button, just to make sure you have access to everything you want to know.
2. There are a couple of links available behind Help. You could go back to the lobby, though you probably don’t want to do that when you’ve just opened the game. You could switch sound or Turbo mode on or off.
3. As you might expect, here you’ll also find a link to the help page itself, complete with game rules, features and paytable, all for the most comprehensive understanding of the game.
4. Next to the Help button is a display with your current balance. You’ll need to know that when setting and sticking to a budget. That’s how you keep the game fun, by making sure you don’t chase losses or bet more than you can afford.
5. Speaking of bet, the next button is “Denom”, which in some slots might be called coin value. The other part of your wager is bet per line, which is set on the right, still under the reels. Either use the arrow keys to go up or down by one level, or go straight to the Max Bet button.
6. Now you'll choose how to spin. For one turn of the reels, press the big Spin button in the middle. For up to 500 spins, all in a row, go to the autoplay button next to it. Unfortunately, autoplay doesn’t allow you to set your win and loss limits, so too many automatic spins does risk breaking your budget.
7. When you do spin, wins will be displayed on the far right. As with all Konami demo slots, we recommend trying the free version before risking any real money, just to make sure you know what you’re doing and that Chili Chili Fire is definitely the slot for you.

Bet & Win Sizes

Denom goes from 0.01 to 0.50. Bet per line ranges from 1 to 10, plus extra for additional features. This means a total bet of between 0.45 and 225.00, which is a pretty good spread that should suit most players.

The paytable shows the value of three, four or five (and in some cases, even two) of each symbol when you match them adjacently across a payline, starting with a one credit bet. You multiply by the bet per line for your line win.

9, 10, J, Q - 2, 5, 25

K, A - 2, 5, 50

Guitar - 2, 15, 50, 100

Turkey - 2, 20, 80, 150

Treasure - 2, 20, 100, 200

Woman - 2, 40, 120, 250

Chilis Scatter - 3, 10, 50

Chili Chili Fire Bonus Features

Action Stacked Symbols

This is a randomly triggered and exciting feature where every space adjacent to one of the reels is converted into the same symbols. This means lots of matching symbols and potentially more winning lines, possibly even filling most of the screen.

Fade Away Feature

This is another random feature, but this time it starts after your spin. The lower-paying card symbols - everything from the 9 to the A - will disappear and be replaced. Symbols will keep disappearing and reappearing until every position is filled with one of the themed symbols, which are of a higher value.

Free Games

For this, you need to find three or more Scatter symbols. During the free games round, the Fade Away feature may become more common.

Three Scatters - Ten free games
Four Scatters - 12 free games
Five Scatters - 25 free games

The feature can be retriggered.

Chili Chili Fire Review

Chili Chili Fire puts you in an inviting, engaging-looking setting, then offers you the chance for exciting gameplay and not one, not two, but three different bonus features that all give you extra opportunities to win. It makes for a thrilling experience that may remind you of the Willy's Hot Chilli slot. There’s very little to criticise here.
