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

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

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins
The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except
the ♣ Scatter symbol and the Feature Drop symbol.
The Scatter symbol serves to trigger
the bonus feature. Three Scatters gets you eight ♣ free spins and every additional
Scatter nets your four more free spins on top of that.
When the Free Spins are
♣ triggered the player is offered the chance to either play their free spins immediately
or to gamble. With this Gamble ♣ Feature you can win up to twenty-four free spins,
however, you can lose all your free spins if you lose.

During the free spins, a multiplier is added to each win as
♣ you win it. After each win the multiplier increases by one. You can also win additional
free spins if three ♣ or more Scatters fall in the Extra Row. Four more spins for three
and eight spins for four.
If you just ♣ can’t wait for the Scatter to land you can use
the Feature Drop to buy your way into the feature. ♣ Feature Drop symbols can land on the
reels during regular play and will reduce the price for buying into the ♣ Free Spin
feature by the number on the symbol. When the price reaches zero the free spins are
triggered automatically.
Bet ♣ Sizes, RTP and Variance
The return to player of this game
is 96.82%, this is a good bit above the yardstick ♣ we use of 96%.

The range of bets on the ♣ site
we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin ofR$/£/€0.20 up to a maximum ofR$/£/€20.00
per spin. This is ♣ a rather low range for anyone who likes playing for the really big
bucks but should take care of the ♣ most common bet ranges.
The volatility of this game
is medium, which makes it a little too low to match very ♣ well with our slot
strategies.

Conclusion
Extra Chilli Megaways is
delightful slot with some fun gameplay quirks and ♣ a well realised setting and
atmosphere.
The only downside from our point of view is the medium volatility. However,
for players ♣ who are less concerned about maximising volatility this could be a great
slot for you.
