Green Chilli Pokie Review

A Player’s Review of Green Chilli

While the Burning Man festival is the most recognizable party in the desert, it’s far from the only one. Long before any organizers got involved, people were getting wild in the desert to the sound of maracas and mariachi music. One squiz at Green Chilli’s excellent backdrop, and you’ll immediately pick up on the slot’s party mood.

Of course, you can’t have a celebration without music and drinks, which are heavily featured in this pokie. Its leading symbol is a musician who had one too many, but that clearly hasn’t dulled his skill with the guitar. He’s also the Wild icon, while a woman with a red fan assumes the role of Scatter.

Green Chilli Symbols & Graphics

The art team has done a phenomenal job with the graphics. Most of the icons match the setting, adding to the immersion. I was also impressed by the smooth flame animation attached to the green pepper symbol. It’s a small detail, but it leaves no room to doubt how spicy those chilli peppers are.

Flag lines and flowers hanging off cacti set an upbeat mood that suits the fiesta planned to happen there. The bright blue sky indicates there won’t be any foul weather getting in the way, either. All that’s left is to gather some mates and hope nobody stumbles into a cactus while dancing!

On the reels, you’ll find plenty of theme-related symbols, including drunk musicians, chickens, guitars, bottles of tequila, and maracas. Sadly, I cannot say the same for the lower-tier icons. They’re dull playing card royals with no extra decorations to help them fit in.

Still, it’s high praise for 3 Oaks that I didn’t have anything else to complain about. You could argue it doesn’t do enough to separate itself from slots like Chilli Heat, but some overlap is to be expected. The visuals exceeded my expectations, so I don’t doubt you’ll enjoy them.

Green Chilli Gameplay

The party takes place on a 5×3 playing area with 20 fixed paylines, which is standard for pokies. Less typical is the high variance, aimed at experienced bettors with bigger budgets.

The singer may be feeling the buzz, but that doesn’t stop him from being the most valuable icon on the grid. He can award up to 10x your total bet. He also brought his pet chicken, which will net you up to 6x your stake. His guitar’s worth up to 5x, while his favourite bottle of tequila grants up to 4x. Last among the high-value symbols are the maracas, giving up to 3x.

You can wager anywhere from $0.20 to $33 per spin. The maximum stake isn’t as high as I’d like it to be, but it’s hardly a dealbreaker.

Green Chilli has an RTP of 96.65%. It’s nothing worth skiting about, but it’s not bad either. That said, the jackpot is something I am disappointed by. A game with high variance can do much better than a 2,000x top prize. Sadly, I never managed to get anywhere close to that kind of reward. My highest payout was around 77x the initial bet.
