Chilli Heat Megawayy

Slot developer and provider Pragmatic Play’s latest release, Chilli Heat Megaways, was published on Thursday. The slot is an upgrade on their classic version with the same name, using the Megaways format to add more features and give the game a makeover. Chilli Heat was a highly successful release for Pragmatic Play, and the developer hopes that by introducing new features, players will once again spin the reels of this Mexican-themed slot.


What Else Can Players Expect from Chilli Heat Megaways?

This new version of the slot features a larger grid, new, improved graphics and brand new symbols. Players can also expect to encounter the Tumble mechanic. With this feature, each time the player lands a winning combination across one of the paylines, the winning symbols are removed from the grid. New symbols then fall down to take their place, and this continues until no new wins are formed.

Aside from the changing number of rows and paylines plus the tumbles, the main feature of this slot are the respins. Chilli Heat Megaways introduces the money symbol, which can appear on any of the game’s six reels. When six of them land at once, the respins feature is unlocked, whereby all symbols are removed except for the triggering money bag symbols. The bonus round begins with three spins, with reels 1 and 6 locked at the start.

When fresh money symbols appear on the main grid, they are held in place and the respins counter is reset. Special symbols may appear above them on the horizontal reel, each of which provides a special bonus. These bonuses include unlocking reels, applying random multipliers and collecting all money symbols.

Aside from collecting six money symbols, this bonus round can also be unlocked by paying 100x the wager per spin. Finally, there’s also the ante bet, where players can increase their chances of winning the respin feature by paying an additional 25% on top of their bet.

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, gave the following statement on the release of the new game:

“The first iteration of this title went down an absolute treat with our players, so it felt like a suitable time to give it a repurposing.”

“We are thrilled with how the game’s festive theme, refined graphics and innovative mechanics combine to bring something entirely new to our portfolio and hope that it is well received by our audience.”
