Red and Hot Chilli

Red and Hot Chilli is a BGaming slot set for release on October 7, 2026, developed in collaboration with Cream Team, the studio behind Sweet Samurai. It runs on 20 fixed paylines under a Mexican fiesta theme, with a serious chilli pepper mascot standing close to the board and a cheeky chicken keeping watch over the action. The theoretical RTP is 96.35%, volatility is medium-low, the win cap is 5,000x the bet, and the base hit frequency is 3.3%.

A Wild symbol substitutes for every paying symbol except Bonus symbols and Lucky Coins, which are themselves the game’s signature feature.

Lucky Coins and the Bonus Game

Lucky Coins award random multipliers ranging from 2x to 100x in the base game and 2x to 250x inside the bonus game. Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols triggers the Bonus Game, a Minesweeper-style mystery box round where picks reveal prizes one at a time. Two collect-style symbols, Bag of Gold and Chillies, gather and accumulate value from active symbols as the round plays out, and a Gamble Round afterward lets players wager their bonus winnings to double them, capped at the game’s 5,000x maximum.

Buy Options

Three named purchase options sit in the Buy menu, though BGaming hasn’t published their exact prices yet. Chance x2 doubles the odds of the Bonus Game activating naturally. Coin Hunt starts the Bonus Game with 3 Lucky Coins already on the board. Chilli Blast starts it with 4 Lucky Coins instead, one of them guaranteed to be a silver coin.

Red and Hot Chilli Review

Red and Hot Chilli’s Lucky Coins do double duty as both a base-game multiplier feature and the fuel for its Bonus Game, which means a spin that doesn’t trigger the Minesweeper-style round outright can still pay out through ordinary coin multipliers landing along the way. Pricing Chilli Blast above Coin Hunt for a guaranteed silver coin among its four starting Lucky Coins gives the Buy menu a clear value ladder, even without published prices to compare directly. The Gamble Round tacked onto the end of a Bonus Game win is a nice touch for players who want one more shot at the game’s 5,000x ceiling rather than banking a smaller win outright, though capping it at the max win keeps that risk from spiraling past what the game can actually pay. Medium-low volatility against a 5,000x cap suggests a game built for steadier, more frequent coin-multiplier hits rather than one single explosive trigger, and the Mexican fiesta presentation, with its two named mascot characters, gives BGaming’s collaboration with Cream Team a distinct identity of its own. The game hasn’t launched yet, so every figure here comes from BGaming’s own pre-release listing, and this review will be updated once it’s live and Buy option pricing is confirmed. Collaborations between BGaming and outside studios like Cream Team tend to bring a slightly different visual sensibility than BGaming’s in-house releases, and the two mascot characters here, a deadpan chilli and a scene-stealing chicken, already suggest a lighter, more comedic tone than the straightforward fiesta-slot format might imply on its own.
