Extra Chilli Megaways review
Theme and Storyline
Extra Chilli Megaways is a fun new slot
from BTG, using the ambience of a 3️⃣ South American market for its setting and the spicy
hot chillies that grow in the New World for its iconic 3️⃣ symbols.
The bustle and colours
of the marketplace make for a lively setting that is realised through excellent sound
and visual 3️⃣ design.
Graphics, Sounds and Animations
The sound, in particular, should be
singled out for praise. The subtle soundscape created by the murmur 3️⃣ of voices blend
seamlessly with the more prosaic reel and win sound effects. The overall effect is an
excellent, immersive 3️⃣ experience.
This is assisted by the slick animation of stylised
symbols that help make Extra Chilli Megaways a delight to play 3️⃣ and enjoy.

Gameplay
The base game for Extra Chilli Megaways is played on six reels with
an any 3️⃣ way wins system. In this system, wins are given for symbols anywhere on each
reel so long as they are 3️⃣ consecutive and start from the leftmost reel.
The number of
symbols on each reel is randomised (between two and six symbols). 3️⃣ There is also an
Extra Reel that adds symbols to the bottom of reels two to five. As a result, 3️⃣ the
number of win ways can vary from 324 to 117,649.
When a winning combination is hit this
triggers a Reaction. 3️⃣ A reaction is where the winning symbols are removed from the reels
and new symbols fall down from above (or 3️⃣ from the right on the Extra Reel).

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins
The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except
the 3️⃣ Scatter symbol and the Feature Drop symbol.
The Scatter symbol serves to trigger
the bonus feature. Three Scatters gets you eight 3️⃣ free spins and every additional
Scatter nets your four more free spins on top of that.
When the Free Spins are
3️⃣ triggered the player is offered the chance to either play their free spins immediately
or to gamble. With this Gamble 3️⃣ Feature you can win up to twenty-four free spins,
however, you can lose all your free spins if you lose.
Free 3️⃣ spins gamble wheel in the
Extra Chilli Megaways slot
During the free spins, a multiplier is added to each win as
3️⃣ you win it. After each win the multiplier increases by one. You can also win additional
free spins if three 3️⃣ or more Scatters fall in the Extra Row. Four more spins for three
and eight spins for four.
If you just 3️⃣ can’t wait for the Scatter to land you can use
the Feature Drop to buy your way into the feature. 3️⃣ Feature Drop symbols can land on the
reels during regular play and will reduce the price for buying into the 3️⃣ Free Spin
feature by the number on the symbol. When the price reaches zero the free spins are
triggered automatically.
Bet 3️⃣ Sizes, RTP and Variance
The return to player of this game
is 96.82%, this is a good bit above the yardstick 3️⃣ we use of 96%.

The range of bets on the 3️⃣ site
we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin ofR$/£/€0.20 up to a maximum ofR$/£/€20.00
per spin. This is 3️⃣ a rather low range for anyone who likes playing for the really big
bucks but should take care of the 3️⃣ most common bet ranges.
The volatility of this game
is medium, which makes it a little too low to match very 3️⃣ well with our slot
strategies.
Paytable for low paying symbols
Conclusion
Extra Chilli Megaways is
delightful slot with some fun gameplay quirks and 3️⃣ a well realised setting and
atmosphere.
The only downside from our point of view is the medium volatility. However,
for players 3️⃣ who are less concerned about maximising volatility this could be a great
slot for you.
