It's time to bring the party back to Mexico, and you are invited. In this slot, which has a warm and varied storyline set among the chili fruits, you don't just play with wilds and free spins – you can also win some jackpots.

About Chilli Gold 2 slot

Chili Gold 2 is a top-notch rendition of Chili Gold. You just get more of everything good about it. Lightning Box offers this modern classic, available for play on our New Zealand online casino and with Play Money, or for real money.

Chilli Gold 2 relates the tale of a merry Mexican man who rides a happy horse through the desert. His ride is in search of the world's hottest chillies—chillies so hot, they're worth their weight in gold.

Once you launch the game, you will discover that Lightning Box has designed a slot with such a very far reach that it just is magic. The developers have also exerted a lot of effort into adding as many sound effects as possible. Even quite small wins are accompanied by a color explosion and a non-stop series of sound effects.

Chili Gold 2 has an overwhelming number of stylish animations that appear throughout the game. For example, when a player scores a big win in the free spins round, the game produces an animation that has a wild bunch of chili fruits sprinting back and forth at the bottom of the screen. On the other hand, if it's just too much, you can click the spin button to quickly make the animation stop.

Playing Chilli Gold 2 is straightforward. You score a win if you get three matching symbols, whether or not a wild is present, along a Payline. To learn more about this game, including its features and payouts, keep reading!

Stakes and winnings

Chilli Gold 2's game screen features five reels and 40 paylines. The paylines are fixed, and you can't really adjust the bet level, either. So, it's left to you to pick the value of the coins you're playing with. The minimum coin value is 0.10$, and the maximum coin value is 12.50$. You use the arrow buttons at the bottom left of the screen to do this.

Upon clicking your coin value, your total bet will be displayed directly to the right. The total bet does not equal 40 times your coin value (as one might expect) but instead is a little extra. For instance, with a coin value of $1, your bet is a noticeable step up to a total of $48. Minimum and maximum bets are $4.80 and $600, respectively.

Chilli Gold 2 offers a few different avenues to score enormous wins. To begin with, you can rake in huge payouts from individual paylines. The man in the sombrero, for instance, pays out 1000 coins per payline (that is, when you hit five of him). Free spins during this game can also result in some serious wins, especially when you factor in the multiplying wilds. And let’s not forget about the jackpot game, where you can hit a fast-moving jackpot worth over 800 times your bet amount.

Chilli Gold 2's RTP is a quite respectable 96.32%. For the machine cut, the Lightning Box is well below that figure. The risk is medium, and the hit rate is relatively high.

Symbols

The theme from Mexico is reflected in many of the symbols on the reels. The symbol that pays the best is in the form of a man from Mexico with a large sombrero and a fruit in his hand that resembles a Hot Chili. If you have played Chilli Gold before, you will recognize the collection of symbols.

The second most lucrative symbol is the donkey. The payout difference between these two symbols is substantial, so only the Mexican man can really be counted as a high win symbol. A parrot, two maracas, and a guitar are medium win symbols. K, Q, J, 10, and 9 are low win symbols.

Actually, there is just a single special symbol in the base game. That said, the game is not without its bonuses. The special symbol serves as both a stacked wild and a scatter. It is represented by a red chili and is accompanied by the text "Wild Bonus."

Game features

Wilds, scatters, free spins, and multipliers – that is a concise summary of the bonuses in Chilli Gold 2. The only thing that isn't included is a bonus game.

Wilds

Chilli Gold 2 has very beneficial Wild symbols. First of all, they are present on reels 2, 3, and 4. Secondly, they come stacked. There is no precise stat on how often at least one wild is present, but it feels like it is almost always the case! Third, when you get Wilds, they are doing you a solid. Chilli Gold 2 provides a kind of multiplier bonus on all the wins that Wilds are a part of.

Free spins

As I mentioned, there is only one distinct sign on the reels in Chilli Gold 2. This implies that the wild sign also functions as a scatter. But it is not just the wild that is a scatter. There are at least six scatter signs for you to land, in order to get free rounds. Just three of them only give you three spins, and with chillies being the wild, you should keep hoping for more to appear. At most, you can win 21 online casino games with this slot, and that's with a maximum of twelve scatters.

Lightning Box enjoys placing a plethora of wilds on the reels during their free spins bonus rounds. This concept applies in Chilli Gold 2 as well. Before each spin of the free spins bonus, many "Golden chilis" (wilds) are sent out on reels 2-5. These wilds ensure nearly every spin results in a guaranteed profit. Then, in a totally ordinary bonus round, you also get complete wild stacks with jokers on reels 2-5. Thus, it doesn't matter what non-wild icons you see on the first reel – you're winning!

Stellar Jackpots

Stellar Jackpots is a unique fixed-jackpot feature with a lightning Box. The concept is similar to the Minor and Major true jackpots in Divine Fortune. To put it briefly, the amount you reach in a jackpot is determined by the amount you bet.

The jackpots can be classified into three types: Mini, small and Big. A bonus game that opens at random gives you a chance to replay them. You reach this bonus game by spinning, as you usually do, but your bet size has nothing to do with the odds of triggering the bonus that gets you to the jackpot game. It does have something to do, though, with the odds of winning Big.

For wagers up to and including $24 per spin, the amounts are as follows: Mini - $160; small - $800; large - $20,000. Then the amounts gradually get higher the more you wager for. Maximum jackpot amounts are: Mini - $4,000; small - $20,000; large - $500,000.

Summary

Chilli Gold 2 is a delightful slot with an engaging and fun theme. It's almost a caricature of the whole concept, but we won't hold that against it. With a whole battery of explosive sound effects, the game is alive, and the frequency of winnings it serves up means it almost never feels dull.

Some players might think that the risk level should be higher. However, this had made the game a clone of its predecessor. Chilli Gold 2 just has a better balance between base and bonus games as well as a less sprawling winning schedule. We like this title, and maybe you will too. Play with play money to get a feel for the game mechanics and get to know the game.
