Final Thoughts
Players partial to a bit of9 Masks of FireandBig Bass Bonanzawill be over the moon with Chilli Picante since Blueprint has kindly brought them both together into one convenient place. It is sort of strange how red hot Blueprint Gaming's slot imitation press has been running recently. There wasViking Fallwith itsELKGold Series connotations, thenGold Strike Bonanzapicking up whereBig Bass Bonanzaleft off, and now Chilli Picante Megaways. It's almost as if without some sort of branding to sink their teeth into, the team is running out of ideas. Okay, highly unlikely, but maybe someone should get these guys a movie deal to break out of the imitation rut they've found themselves in. You get the impression that the thought process behind Chilli Picante Megaways went something along the lines of, well, 9 Masks was hot,Big Bass Bonanzawas hot; let's combine the two and have a real carnival.
One of the interesting things about Chilli Picante is how far back into the corner Megaways gets shoved. It can be easy to forget you're even playing a Megaways slot after a while. Part of this is because there's no cascade feature, partly it's because the focus is on trying to land chilli symbols to collect Chilli Hot Cashpot prizes or scoop money symbols during free spins. If you're looking for jackpot glory on its own, the Chilli Hot Cashpot probably isn't the best option. For instance, the top prize in the base game is half of what's on offer in9 Masks of Fire. Things do heat up in free spins, of course, provided you can fart your way along the upgrade trail and pick up a multiplier. Not only does this improve Cashpot values, but chilli money symbols get more exciting, too.
In the end, thanks to playful visuals and vibrant tunes, Chilli Picante Megaways was an enjoyable game to play. Don't get us wrong, it's a total rip off of previous slots, yet that doesn't stop it being a spirited festival of over-the-top Mexican chestnuts.
