1000 spins on Chilli Gold 2: final review

Chilli Gold 2 is a cheerful and sometimes nerve-racking slot machine from the relatively unknown game developer Lightning Box Games.

There are more slots with a Mexican theme, such as Spiñata Grande from Netent, but this slot has a very special bonus round.

You play it as a kind of video game à la Space Invaders. If you pass all levels, you win one of three jackpots.

How does Chilli Gold 2 work?

The Chilli Gold 2 slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 40 paylines. The minimum bet is € 0.48 per spin.

The symbols of the castle are sunny Mexican-tinted: a merry Mexican with a large sombrero, an enthusiastic donkey, a brightly colored parrot, a few sambal balls and a guitar. With the filling K, Q, J, 10 and 9.

And then the symbol this slot revolves around: a chili pepper. The peppers count as jokers and they trigger free spins.

Do you have 6 peppers in the picture? Then you win 3 free spins. For every extra pepper you get 3 free spins. Because the peppers are stacked on the reels, it can get very fast: up to 21 free spins when you get 12 peppers.

Additional chili peppers are on the roll during free spins. If you get at least 6 peppers again during the bonus round, free spins will be added.

This way, the bonus can continue for a very long time.

Also nice: the "bale factor" because you just did not get the bonus, is hardly present at this slot. For example, if you have five peppers in the picture, you always have an impressive number of jokers with which you usually score a nice price.

And then there is the bonus round, called Stellar Jackpots. It appears completely randomly while you play.

The bonus round has 7 levels. The intention is that from level 1 you finally reach level 7. The jackpots are waiting for you there.

In every level you shoot at space objects such as planets and satellites (not really Mexican, but good). Some objects turn into a cash prize and bring you up one level.

Other spaceships rebound the shot: you lose a life.

If you lose three lives, the bonus ends.

If you reach level seven, you will shoot until you have found three of the same jackpot symbols. You then win:

• Major Jackpot – minimum of € 2000
• Minor Jackpot – at least € 80
• Mini Jackpot – at least € 16

If you bet more than € 2.40 per spin, the jackpots will be higher. If you play the maximum bet of € 60, the jackpots are at € 50,000, € 2000, and € 400.

The 1000 spins from Mr. Casino

Mr. Casino played 1000 spins on Chilli Gold 2 with the minimum bet of € 0.48 per spin. In total he bet € 480.

During the first 300 spins, it appears that Chilli Gold 2 is not a careful slot. The balance shoots up and down again and after 300 spins, Mr. Casino has lost almost € 30.

The first Stellar Jackpots bonus also yields little: € 0.32. Pff.

The first free spins (3 pieces) are effective: € 14.40.

Because you play with so many extra jokers during the free rounds and all your prizes are doubled with a joker, it is almost always cashier. In total Meneer Casino receives ten free spins, on average good for € 8.45.

But the Stellar Jackpots really make this slot worthwhile. Mr. Casino was given eight times the chance to play this bonus. Twice of that he made it to the jackpot level, which both times ended with the Mini Jackpot.

After 1000 spins, Mreer Casino has lost € 95.61. But it was exciting!

The result on Chilli Gold 2

• The result after 1000 spins at € 0.48: € 95.61 loss
• The 5 highest prizes: € 25.92 / € 24.47 / € 14.40 / € 12.70 / € 12.20
• Free spins: 10 times (average profit € 8.45)
• Stellar Jackpots: 8 times (average profit € 8.59)
• According to Lightning Box Games, the payout percentage (RTP) is 96.32%

Final consideration

Chilli Gold 2 has two great features. The free spins with lots of stacked wilds and all prizes with a joker x2, that's great.

But the Stellar Jackpots bonus is even more violent. It has nothing to do with the Mexican theme, but the way you try to shoot your way through the levels on your way to a jackpot is very exciting.

Chilli Gold 2 is not for the cautious player. But if you can handle large fluctuations in your balance, then definitely try this slot out.
