Who needs hot guys when you have hellapenos slots?

Most chili people use the Scoville scale to measure the heat of chili peppers. This scale was invented in 1912 and is essentially a subjective heat test based on the taste buds of a panel of five trained tasters. Of course, the question arises: How do you train to become a professional chili pepper taster? I assume there is a fair amount of toilet paper involved.

If you like peppers, Thunderkick’s Hellapenos slot might be right up your alley.

Are you ready to take on the Chili Challenge?

The Chili Pepper Multiplier Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter symbol and the expanding devil symbol to complete a winning combination. All winnings are subject to a 2x multiplier. If multiple multiplier wilds appear on the same payline, the multiplier amounts are multiplied together and the resulting multiplier is applied to the winning amount.

The leftmost two reels only feature symbols stacked between 2 and 5 symbols high. If both reels have the exact same symbol, 1 to 3 multiplier wild symbols will be placed randomly on reels 3 to 5.

Expanding devil symbols only appear on reels 3-5. Once it appears and is included in a winning combination, it expands to cover the entire reel and acts as a wild symbol replacing all other symbols except the scatter symbol, completing the winning combination. If a symbol is expanded via a multiplier wild symbol, the entire expanded devil symbol will receive a 2x multiplier.

The bonus game starts when three or more bonus symbols appear. The expanding devil symbol that appears during the bonus game activates the reels it lands on. The expanding devil symbol appears on all activated reels every spin during the bonus game.

How spicy are Hellapenos slots?

Helapenos shows very high volatility. This means you can’t expect small, sustained wins. This is about chasing big wins. If you bet $50 per spin top end, you’ll play for up to $250,000 thanks to a max multiplier of 5,000x. If you want to bet closer to the $0.10 minimum per spin, your chances of winning will naturally be more conservative. The RTP of the slot is 96.18%.

When choosing chili peppers as the theme for your slot, you’d be forgiven for assuming you don’t have much to work with. That’s an assumption I’ve proven correct over and over again. However, Thunderkick discovered another piece of equipment that has a Hellapenos slot. Slots are wild. The graphics are stunning, with a perfect blend of hell meets chili pepper motifs. The animations built into the Expanding Devil symbols are also a great addition and add a lot to the gameplay. The bonus features aren’t as extensive as I would have liked, but there’s still plenty to keep me engaged. I give this an 8 out of 10.
