Chilli Gold x2 has a weak pay table if you look at the symbols payout. The highest paying symbols is the Mexican with a 1000 coins payout with a wild symbol and a 5 of a kind win.
This isn’t much and is equal to a 25 x bet win. Still considering the fact that the wilds can come stacked on 4 reels in the bonus round the payout potential increases substantially with possible wins of over 1,000 x bet.
Summary
Chilli Gold x2 has a very interesting game play and can be fun to play over long sessions. We like the fact that there are 40 pay lines and 4 rows, so you have more chances for winning combinations.
The pay table is weak and base play wins are usually small. Still they come often and the stacked wilds award extra medium wins in base play. This way your balance drops slowly and you can put in a big number of spins even with a smaller bankroll.
The bonus round has the potential to pay big especially if you get the maximum number of 21 free spins and the full 4 wild reels in the feature. All you need is luck to win big.
