Hot Pepper (Pragmatic Play) Slot Machine - Play Hot Pepper (Pragmatic Play) Slot Free

Introduction

Brought to you by mega maker Pragmatic Play, Hot Pepper is a 7x7 slot machine game full of Latin flavors and red-hot bonus features, including a retriggering free spins round and extra multipliers throughout.

Hot Pepper comes hot on the heels of Pragmatic Play’s Chili Heat Megaways no deposit slot and it is easy to see quite a few similarities. This one has been toned down a bit, with the Megaways mechanism removed and replaced with a cluster pays mechanic. This means you will score wins for matching groups of symbols on your reels, with a minimum of five. 

This slot also has some similarities with Pragmatic's Sweet Bonanza slot, which has similar gameplay but is full of delectable candies.

If you would like to find out more about this spicy new no deposit slot, you can read our Hot Pepper (Pragmatic Play) slot review to find out about its bonus features, top potential wins, and volatility. We recommend having a glass of milk handy, as this going to be hot, hot, hot!

Theme & story

The Hot Pepper (Pragmatic Play) online slot is set in a desert, with cacti, lizards and a canyon in the background. The graphics are crisp but they are cartoony rather than ultra-realistic, which is fine with us. The symbols include lots of Mexican influences, including tacos, pinatas, and limes. There is also a liberal sprinkling of chilli peppers, which appear as the wild symbols in the game.

The only criticism around playing this game is the soundtrack, which is a bit overbearing and doesn’t seem to match the theme.
