Find out more in this Chilli Bandits slot review.

Central American Adventure

The wooden reels stand in a dusty street by an abandoned cart full of pumpkins and a Wanted poster of one of the chilli bandits on a wall. A soundtrack inspired by the genre plays throughout.

Artwork and Animation

Whilst cartoonish, the artwork is detailed. The reels frame is peppered with bullet holes and mud and has faded and chipped paint. In the background, a small palm tree sways in a pot, and a carving of an ancient Central American deity hangs from a wall. When the game is idle, the logo reappears in bold 3D red and green letters. 

The chilli bandits themselves are partially animated, shooting their guns to change or split other symbols. When big wins hit, there's a fountain of coins, confetti and chillies. 

Chilli Bandits RTP & Volatility

The RTP for the Chilli Bandits slot varies depending on what feature you're using. The basic RTP is 96.11%, and the variance is high. The RTP increases on the fast-track feature.

Fast Track RTP

The Fast Track feature allows the player to exchange extra credits to fast-track the game.

• 2 or more bonus symbols for 10x bet = 96.22%
• 1 or more chilli wilds for 40x bet = 96.35%
• 8 free spins for 80x bet = 96.48%

Note: wins through Fast Track might not match or exceed the amount used to purchase them.

How to Play Chilli Bandits

When the game loads, you'll see an intro screen with a brief overview of the game's features. Tap anywhere to continue.

1. First tap the menu button to learn about game's rules, features and paytable.
2. Next select your bet by tapping the + or - buttons either side of the bet amount. There are 22 bet levels ranging between 0.30 and 50 coins per spin.
3. Use Fast Track to exchange extra credits for a greater chance to trigger bonuses and features. Note - the fast-track feature will continue with each subsequent spin until you turn the feature off.
4. Tap the autoplay button for autoplay. Be aware that autoplay also works with the Fast Track option enabled. Ensure you exit Fast Track before you use autoplay if you do not want to use the two features together.
5. The Burst feature is a faster autoplay. Burst will run the slot without any visual features and update the wins only. Tap the Burst button, select the bet and number of autoplay spins and check or uncheck the box to stop Burst if the free spins are won. Burst will not run the gamble mode if free spins are triggered. Burst is disabled when Fast Track is in play.
6. When using autoplay or Burst mode, always keep an eye on your balance and be ready to hit the stop button before you need to, even if playing slots in online casinos in demo mode.
7. You're ready to start. Always play slots responsibly and stop when it's no more fun.

Chilli Bandits Review - Our Verdict 

Chilli Combos

We think the Chilli Bandits slot is engaging in both the base game and free spins levels, especially when the chilli bandit wilds come in together and combine their features. The chilli multiplier and green chilli wild on the free spins can create some impressive results. Even on the base game, the scatters turning to wilds can end up contributing to additional ways to win.

Watch Out for Fast Track and Burst

The Fast Track feature gives immediate features, but it's easy to forget to turn it off if you don't want to use it in autoplay, which can end up being a costly mistake. 

The Burst feature looks exciting, but our personal opinion is that it takes the fun out of the game experience, especially when the graphics and characters are as well created as they are.
