Chilli Bomb - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Chilli Bomb is a Mexican themed classic online slot. This title has five reels and three rows, along with 20 always-on paylines, to provide more chances to win on each spin.

As you may expect from a classic-styled slot, Chilli Bomb has mostly standard fruit machine symbols, including old favourites such as the orange, lemon, cherries, plums and watermelon. Adding to the Mexican theme is an avocado.

Look out for the chilis, which are the wild symbols in the game. These will substitute for any symbol except the golden banana. The golden banana is the jackpot scatter symbol, and it pays out a cool 500x the initial bet if five are matched on the reels.

The blue background chili is also worth watching out for as it spawns a selection of wilds onto the reels, providing a greater chance of winning.

Chilli Bomb has been coded to work on screens of all sizes, and it's optimised for touch screens as well as those playing with a keyboard and mouse.

Often, the best way to decide whether a slot machine is worth playing is by trying the game. Thanks to the CT Gaming free slots feature, new players can try out the gameplay using fun currency before risking real money on the reels.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Aside from the fact that the game is named after the chili and there is the addition of the avocado into the suite of symbols, there is little to suggest that the game has a Mexican or any other real theme. This is a standard old-school fruit machine, which will appeal to players who may want a break from the more complex modern online slots.

The graphics in this slot are a bit on the cartoony side, with colourful graphics rendered in a clean and clear fashion. There is suitable contrast between the symbols, making it easy to spot when a winning combination lands. This is helped by the animations that surround winning symbols.

There is no real soundtrack to speak of. There is a constant sound when the reels come to rest, which evokes school nativity plays and the sound of coconuts being bashed together to mimic the donkey's footsteps. Beyond that, there is a jingle that sounds when wilds are revealed and a win jingle.

Chilli Bomb RTP and Variance

Chilli Bomb has a long-term average RTP of 95.6%, which is below average for games of this type. The medium volatility of this game provides balanced gameplay, although patience is required to wait for the big wins.

How to Play Chilli Bomb

1. It is always a good idea to take a look at the paytable when you play a game for the first time. The paytable sets out how much each winning combination of symbols returns, in addition to detailing rules for wild and scatter symbols and showing you the pattern of paylines. To access the paytable on Chilli Bomb, click the 'i' in the top left corner.

2. Your bet can be set by clicking the total bet button at the centre of the bottom of the screen. This outlines all total bets available for selection.

3. The manual spin button is at the bottom right corner of the reels. Press this button to spin the reels once.

4. To activate autoplay, click the reel spin button for longer than 2 seconds. This sets off 1000 automatic spins. These can be stopped at any point by clicking the 'stop' button, which appears at the bottom left of the reels.

5. It is vital to play Chilli Bomb responsibly by setting a budget for each play session and sticking to it. When the fun stops, stop playing.

Chilli Bomb Bonus Features

Watch out for the blue wild chili, which will only appear on the third reel. This symbol will provide up to eight additional wilds surrounding the blue chili.

If the blue chili appears on the top or bottom row of the third reel, it will be encased in five additional wild symbols, providing a bigger chance to win on the spin.

The place you want the blue chili to appear is in the centre of the third reel, which results in it being surrounded by eight wilds. This will make the entirety of the second, third and fourth reels wild, hopefully making for some big wins.

Chilli Bomb Review - Our Verdict

If you think that the modern online slot with its bonus features, avalanches, symbol collection and variable paylines have made gameplay far too complicated, Chilli Bomb is the game for you.

This is an unashamedly old-school online slot, with the symbols mostly being your standard 'fruit machine' symbols. Players in search of more rich gameplay will probably be best served looking elsewhere.
