Game Overview

The Hot Pepper slot by Pragmatic Play features a lively chilli-pepper theme with bright fruits and colourful cartoon symbols across seven reels. With bets ranging from 20p to £2, the game offers a cheerful, playful atmosphere reminiscent of a sunny fiesta, set against a vibrant Mexican-inspired backdrop.


Game Rules

The game is played on a 7×7 grid of symbols. All symbols pay in blocks of a minimum of 5 symbols connected horizontally or vertically. There is a BONUS symbol that appears on all reels and collects in a meter during full tumble sequences.

Random Wild Multiplier Feature

Whenever a cluster of symbols hits, it leaves behind a WILD symbol in a random spot. These WILDs substitute for all symbols except the BONUS. Each cluster progresses a feature for subsequent tumbles, increasing levels up to a maximum of level 5:

  • Level 1: Multipliers range from x1 to x8 based on cluster size.
  • Level 2: Multipliers range from x2 to x16.
  • Level 3: Multipliers range from x4 to x32.
  • Level 4: Multipliers range from x8 to x64.
  • Level 5: Multipliers range from x16 to x128.

Multipliers apply to the cluster they are part of, and multiple WILDs in winning clusters add their multipliers together. Progress resets after all tumbles from the same spin.

Tumble Feature

After every spin, winning combinations are paid, and symbols disappear. The remaining symbols fall to fill the gaps, with new symbols appearing from above. Tumbling continues until no more winning combinations appear. Wins are added to the player’s balance after all tumbles.

Free Spins

Trigger Free Spins by hitting 3 BONUS symbols across a tumble sequence. This starts with 12 free spins, and WILDs generated in clusters are always level 5 during the feature. Retrigger the feature by hitting 3 more BONUS symbols to get 5 additional free spins. Special reels are in play during this feature.

Max Win

Wins are capped at 10,000 times the bet in both the base game and free spins. If this cap is reached in a Free Spins round, the round ends immediately, awarding the win and forfeiting remaining spins.

Game Rules: Volatility

This is a high volatility game with the potential for significant wins over a short time. Only the highest win per combination is paid. Wins are multiplied by the base bet and expressed in coins. The RTP value is shown in-game.
