3 Hot Chillies is a slot machine from 3 Oaks Gaming, released in 2023. The online slot is themed around Mexican culture.
The machine got its name thanks to 3 bonus features, which are triggered by colorful chili peppers. These features are similar to those found in other games by the same provider.
The slot offers bright and colorful graphics. Each win is accompanied by well-designed animations.
3 Hot Chillies is a classic slot machine with 5 reels and 3 rows. Combinations can form across 25 fixed paylines.
To win, at least 3 identical symbols must appear on the screen. The only exception is the top symbol — the lady with a fan — which requires just 2 matches. If the symbols fall outside the lines, no payout is awarded.
The bet in this slot ranges from €0.5 to €80 per round. The amount is adjusted in a special menu opened by clicking on the coin stack icon.
The RTP of 3 Hot Chillies is 95.59%, slightly above the industry average. The game has high volatility, which means it avoids long losing streaks and can alternate between small and large wins. The maximum theoretical payout is x1000 the bet amount.
To start a round in 3 Hot Chillies, select the bet amount and press the button with two arrows on the right side of the game screen. The reels will then spin. If several identical symbols land on a payline after the spin, a payout is triggered.
The slot includes an autoplay feature, which is activated by pressing the “A” button. It cannot be customized — autospins will continue until the balance runs out or the player stops them manually.
The game offers 3 spin animation speeds. The default is the second speed, with each round lasting 0.9 seconds. The first speed lasts 2 seconds, and the third is 0.5 seconds. Speeds are switched using the “>>>” button.
Symbols in the online slot 3 Hot Chillies include items associated with Mexican culture: guitar, sombrero, tequila, and others. Card symbols from ten to ace are also used.
The game uses hidden multipliers. They are not shown in the help section, but changing the bet also changes the symbol values in the paytable. Below are the values for each symbol at a default €7.5 bet:

The Mexican man in the sombrero has no value. He acts as the Wild and can replace any other symbol needed for a winning combination. The payout is based on the value of the replaced symbol.
The chili symbols also have no value of their own. They are used to trigger bonus rounds.
There are 3 types of bonus modes in the game, each with its own rules:
Bonus games are triggered by filling special meters at the top of the game screen. These meters fill when peppers appear during the main game.
Important note: even though the rules and paytable refer to these symbols as chili peppers, visually they look more like colorful round dishes.
Bonus rounds can also be purchased for real money. The cost of purchase at a €7.5 bet is €525. A random bonus mode is selected after payment.
The game includes an internal jackpot called Grand Jackpot. It is awarded if yellow, green, and red peppers appear on the screen at the same time during any bonus round.
