Jumpin Jalapenos - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you’re looking for a no-frills slot, then Jumpin Jalapenos is a great choice. You won’t waste valuable session time wading through complex rules and trying to get to grips with complicated bonus games - this is a straight up five-reel, 30-payline slot with free spins and Action Stacked Symbols.

We’ll come back to the bonuses later, but you’ll be looking out for two special symbols in this 13-symbol slot. The chilli-chomping dude substitutes for all symbols except the chilli scatter. The rest of the paytable symbols are the royals 9-A and five higher-paying picture symbols.

Some players might be disappointed with the lack of features, but there’s a decent top win, and you can play on the go using any Apple or Android handheld device.

Smart players will want to judge this slot's real-time volatility with a few no-risk demo play spins.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Let’s head down Mexico way to the local chilli fiesta in this colourful slot. This free play Konami slots game doesn’t hold back when it comes to bold visuals that really hit you - just like a mouthful of chilli!

With the perfect amount of chilli kick, no wonder the jalapeno pepper is the most popular of the 150 varieties found in Mexico.

First grown in Xalapa, or Jalapa as it’s sometimes known, this agreeably spicy pepper is grown on 160km of land in Mexico - that’s like growing chillies between London and Poole in Dorset!

The jalapeno is prized for its versatility, but we wish we could say the same of Jumpin Jalapenos. It’s not the best-looking slot, and there’s no atmospheric music to create the mood - just jingles and, incongruously enough, Ode to Joy.

RTP & Volatility

This Mexican-themed slot has medium volatility and an RTP of 96.04% - perfect for a player who doesn’t want to take big risks but still expects some good wins.

- Raging Bull = 250x

- Taco = 150x
- Guitar = 150x
- Cactus = 100x
- K, A = 75x
- 9-Q = 50x

Bonus Features

Jumpin Jalapenos isn’t packed with features, using the proprietary Action Stacked Symbols to build some potential.

Action Stacked Symbols: On each reel a number of adjacent positions are randomly replaced with stacks of symbols.

These stacked reels feature all the paytable symbols except the Chillies and the Mexican.

Free spins feature: Land three chillies anywhere in view to trigger the free spins bonus. 12 free spins are available.

When wilds appear, reels are nudged so all positions on the reel are wild.

This feature can be retriggered.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

If you love your games hot and spicy, you might be a bit disappointed by Jumpin Jalapenos. But if simple slots with decent if not massive wins are your thing, then this slot will be just fiery enough for you.

The nudging wilds in the free spins bonus are a nice touch and can be lucrative, but we struggled to hit them. We'd recommend this as a good game for beginners.

The Mexican theme is a popular one, and we wonder why you would play Jumpin Jalapenos when you could play Esqueleto Explosivo with its exploding wilds and progressive multiplier.
