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

Chilli Willie Slot Review

The Chilli Willie slot is one of the online slots from the Amatic Industries stable. It plays on a 5x4 reel set that generates up to 50 variable betways that pay left to right. 

The bonus symbol is the scatter and the key to the free spins bonus. This symbol appears on the centre reels, which are 2, 3 and 4.

The wild symbol

The eponymous Chilli Willie symbol is the wild, which substitutes for all other winning symbols other than the scatter. The wild appears on all reels other than the first in the base game. 

During bonus spins, the wild only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 but has the potential to stack at all times

Bonus Spin feature

Three bonus symbols in the base game in any of their positions on the centre reels trigger five free spins, and each time another lands on the reel 3 in this phase, an additional bonus spin is added.

The max win

The max win in the Chilli Willie slot is x2500, reflecting the highest value of the winning symbols, the pyramid and your potential total win.

More slots from this designer

You will find more Amatic Industries slots here at Slots Temple available as a demo play. However, if you prefer a game with higher volatility, take a look at the Dropz slot from Elk Studios, which we rate as a video slot displaying high variance. You can trial it in demo mode here at Slots Temple. 

We recommend checking out these slots before you decide whether to visit casinos to play for real. Should you do so, remember to set yourself a budget for each session and to play responsibly by taking advantage of time-outs or self-exclusion options.

What is hot about this game design?

Theme of Chilli Willie

Symbols

Soundtrack
