How it plays
Extra Chilli reuses the six-reel Megaways engine from Bonanza, paying up to 117,649 ways, with an extra horizontal reel beneath the main grid adding symbols to reels 2–5. Winning symbols trigger reactions — cascades refilling from the top and the right.
Bets on the official configuration run €0.20 to €20.00 per spin.
Bonus features
Three scatters spelling H-O-T award 8 free spins, +4 per additional scatter. During free spins an unlimited multiplier rises by +1 with every reaction.
The signature Free Spins Gamble lets you wager your spins up to 24 free spins — the first gamble is 50/50, later steps shift to roughly 60/40 in the player's favour. Feature Drop (bonus buy) prices 8 free spins at 40x stake, with drop symbols on the reels reducing the price as you play.
RTP versions
Big Time Gaming's official game sheet lists a 96.63% RTP with a 24,236x maximum win. Third-party databases document configurations from 96.15% base play up to 96.82% when the gamble and Feature Drop options are used, so the live paytable is the definitive reference.
Volatility is high, with a published hit frequency around 37.52%.
Verdict
Released in April 2018, Extra Chilli keeps Bonanza's unlimited-multiplier core and adds two genuinely player-facing choices — the free-spins gamble and the price-dropping bonus buy — making it one of BTG's most replayed Megaways titles.
