07 · Our verdict

Spicy, loud and generous

Extra Chilli is one of the best Megaways games ever made. Reactions keep every spin moving, the gamble wheel lets you trade safety for more free spins, and the unlimited multiplier makes long bonus rounds explosive. High volatility means long quiet spells — but when it gets hot, it really gets hot.

From Big Time Gaming

Big Time Gaming is the Australian studio that invented Megaways. Extra Chilli (2018) followed Bonanza and turned the formula up: more ways, a gamble wheel and the first Feature Drop.

The chilli runner hits the market

A red chilli in a sombrero has jumped off the reels and is trotting across the terracotta tiles on four little legs. Tap the floor to send it somewhere, or start a chilli hunt.

Chilli runner · 4 × 2-segment legsBest 000 · Steps 0000

Chilli hunt

Green and purple chillies pop up on the tiles for a few seconds — tap one and the runner trots over: green scores 3, purple 1. Hot-sauce flames burst across the floor and cost a leg; a glass of milk restores it. Lose three legs or run out of 60 seconds and the hunt is over.
