Hot Chilli Bells Slot

Hot Chilli Bells is a classic fruit-themed slot with 100 pay lines from the provider BGaming. The game can be played on a minimum bet of $1, and if you want, you can reduce the number of lines to 80, 60, 40, or 20. Your minimum bet will be adjusted accordingly. The slot has 6 symbols: one scatter symbol, one bonus symbol with coin values, and a wild that expands to cover the whole reel. The slot symbols pay 50x to 5x your bet size on connections of five of a kind. The scatter symbol pays 1x, 20x, and 100x your bet when they land anywhere on the screen. Wild symbol can land on reels 2, 3, and 4 only, and every time it becomes a part of a winning combination, it expands to cover the entire reel. The bonus symbol can have any value ranging from 1x to 100x your bet size, and landing 6 or more bell symbols activates the hold and win bonus, but there are a few twists. Before the Hold and Win feature starts, 3 positions on the grid will be awarded with values of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, or 15x. You will get 3 re-spins after landing a coin, and if you land another coin, then the bonus ends. If you manage to fill the screen with more than 15 bonus symbols, your total winnings will be multiplied by 2, and filling the whole grid will see your wins multiplied by 3. If you don’t want to play the base game, then you can buy the bonus according to your preference. Buying the bonus on 20 lines will cost you 12x your bet. The bonus on 40 and 60 lines will cost you 24x and 36x your bet size. And finally, the 80- and 100-line bonus buy will be 48x and 60x your bet.
This game is brutal in the base game and can decimate your balance in no time, so proceed with caution. I play this game only on 20 lines, that too on the minimum bet. I like the expanding wild feature and have managed to land two wilds on a few occasions. Sadly, I have never managed to land any wilds. The bonus feature is amazing too, and I have landed and successfully activated the highest multiplier of 15x a few times.

The game has a habit of giving 5 coins on a regular basis, and these symbols act as blockers for possible connections. A lot of times, the bonus ends without adding a new symbol. A coin almost never lands in the spots where big multipliers are awarded.
