Reels and paylines in Hot Pepper
The game uses a large 7 x 7 matrix, so there are no paylines involved. Instead, you need five or more symbols landing in a block to win a prize. These must touch horizontally or vertically – diagonally positioned icons do not count.
How do the betting options work?
Since there are no paylines, the game opts for a bet multiplier of 20x. This means you need to choose a coin valued at between a penny and 50 cents and multiply it by 20x to get your total bet. You can also go for up to 10 lots of coins per go.
Watch out for the bonus symbol in Hot Pepper slots
This looks like a sun with BONUS stamped on the front of it. There are also five different hot peppers that can all act as wilds.
Unveiling the bonus features in Hot Pepper
Wild icons land in random spots after a winning combination is found. This then explodes and a wild is left behind. Other symbols then fill in any gaps. There are five potential levels involved with the tumble feature, each determining the multiplier for the wild that appears. This can also depend on the size of the winning cluster you’ve achieved. It sounds complex, but if you play the demo for a while, you’ll see how it works. Multipliers can range from 2x to a huge 128x.
If you get three or more bonus symbols landing, you will score 12 free spins. Any wilds landing during this feature will be on level five, which incurs the biggest potential multipliers. Retriggers provide a further five free spins to add to your remaining total.
