Chilli Gold 2 Stellar Jackpots Slot

Graphics

A Cabron and his Donkey are the party people in this desert tale, with a Parrot, Maracas and Guitar clearly doing the business when it comes to the entertainment.

9s through Kings make up the numbers as the game’s low-paying symbols, animating in a playful way when we score a winning combination. With the random echoey announcement of the Stellar Jackpot bonus feature, we blast off from our desert party and head out into space.

Our fighter’s windscreen is now taken up with asteroids, alien ships and meteors that we must blast through if we are to progress to the non-progressive series of jackpots.

Gameplay

Our Mexican host is clearly in a good mood. It’s unclear whether this is thanks to the jackpot to which he leads us or to the amount of chillis he’s eaten. But it is certainly the chillies that are our keys to success in this slot.

Not only are they our host’s main form of sustenance, but they also substitute for all symbols as Wild Bonus symbols - and Gold Chillies during the bonus round - and launch the game’s Free Spins feature when we land a stack of six or more.

As in its sister title, Stellar Jackpots with Dolphin Gold, the addition of the Stellar Jackpots bonus game freshens up the game-play as much as it boosts our win potential. The same is true here. In space, we must blast through various obstacles to progress to the next level and have a shot of returning back to earth to eat more chillies for dinner.

And, if we so choose, we can gamble our winnings on the flip of a card to double or quadruple our space booty.

Verdict

The base game in Stellar Jackpots With Chilli Gold 2 is plenty fun, and keeps us entertained in between space missions.

But just the concept of the Stellar Jackpots bonus feature is an excellent one from Lightning Box.

The freshness brought to the game-play is as welcome as a glass of milk following a chilli-eating contest. We are, of course, quite partial to the wins, too.
