Hot Chilliways has been developed in partnership with Hurricane Games and promises red-hot wins for those that can handle the heat

Can you handle the heat? That is the question being asked of players in Hot Chilliways, the latest slot to be developed in partnership with Hurricane Games via Stakelogic’s innovative Greenlogic® Programme.

This is a video slot that turns up the heat and with players encouraged to experiment with some seriously spicy win combinations. For those that do, an off-the-Scoville-chart max win potential of 30,000x the player’s original bet is up for grabs.

The Wild Red Chilli symbol can land at any time during the base game and increase the number of symbols on that reel from three to seven. The three existing symbols on the reel drop to the bottom position with four new symbols added above.

Once the reels have adjusted, the Red Chilli symbol then acts as the Wild. It also adds an x2 to the total Multiplier, which is applied to winnings at the end of that game round.

Players will also want to keep their eyes peeled for the Wild Green Chilli. When it lands, the number of symbols on that reel increases from three to six. The three existing symbols on the reel split and double up, including the Green Chilli. Once the reels have adjusted, the Green Chilli acts as the Wild.

If you think that is spicy, think again. Hot Chilliways features a Free Spins bonus that is triggered when three or more Scatter symbols land, awarding the following number of Free Games 3 = 12, 4 = 16, 5 = 30 and 6+ = 24.

Before entering Free Spins, players are given the chance to take on the Gamble Wheel to potentially increase the number of Free Games. If the dial lands on Green, more Free Games are awarded but if it lands on Red the number is reduced.

While Free Spins are active, the Wild Red Chilli symbols add to a Multiplier that ranges from x2 to x100. Free Games can also be retriggered if additional Scatters land.

Hot Chilliways adds more spice with Super Stake, an innovative feature that allows players to effectively double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus feature triggering and insane win combinations landing. In this case, more Scatters land to increase the chance of unlocking Free Spins.

Players that can’t handle the heat have the option to buy the Free Spins bonus at a cost of x100 their stake.

Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic, said: “Phwoar. Hot Chilliways packs some serious heat but for those that can handle it, some really spicy wins await. This is a slot that cooks up tremendous big win potential through the game’s bonus features, and will absolutely leave a slight burning sensation.

“It is also another great example of what can be achieved when two studios collaborate through our Greenlogic® Programme, so congratulations to the Hurricane Games team for coming up with the recipe for this one. It really is a spicy slot indeed.”
