Up to 200,704 ways to win sit on a 6-reel Megaways grid, where each reel holds a changing number of symbols. Its theme is Mexican, and a win needs as few as 2 matching symbols. Tumble cascades wins after every paid spin, so winning symbols make room for new ones.
6+ MONEY symbols landing at once start the Money Respin feature, which begins with 3 respins. Seven special top-row symbols can unlock reels, collect MONEY values or multiply them by 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. The optional Ante Bet raises the stake to 25x instead of 20x and doubles the natural chance of that feature. While it is on, the Buy Respin Feature is off.
100 times the total bet buys the Respin round, which is A$500 at the top example bet of A$5.

How it plays
After reading, you will know how each round runs, from bet to bonus.
A$0.20 is the lowest total bet and A$240 the highest, so pick a stake between them before you spin. Each spin then draws a grid of up to 200,704 ways.
Up to 8 symbols sit on reels 2 to 5, up to 7 on reels 1 and 6. A payout can start with just 2 symbols.
6 reels form the Megaways grid, and Tumble cascades wins after every paid spin. An independent top row above reels 2 to 5 spins from right to left.
6 or more MONEY symbols landing at once start the Money Respin feature with 3 respins. Reels 1 and 6 begin locked until a special top-row symbol unlocks them.
The smallest bet is A$0.20. Set a money limit before the first spin and stop when you reach it. Nobody can know in advance how long a session will last.
Four rules in order
Fairgo Casino sets out each bonus rule in order, so you know the terms before you play.
Six or more MONEY symbols at once trigger it, with 3 respins and reels 1 and 6 locked. Seven special top-row symbols unlock those reels, extend a reel to 7 symbols, collect MONEY or multiply them by 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. Any MONEY hit resets the counter to 3.
Base game spinRespins and money
Buy Respin Feature starts the Money Respin feature straight from the base game for 100x current total bet. The bought round starts with a random number of symbols on each reel. It is unavailable when the 25x Ante Bet is enabled.
Base gameMoney Respin round
Base game is a 6-reel Megaways grid with up to 200704 ways to win. Each of reels 1 and 6 holds up to 7 symbols, reels 2 to 5 hold up to 8, and a top row above reels 2 to 5 spins right to left on its own. Tumble cascades wins after every paid spin.
Opening the lobbyMegaways grid play
The Ante Bet is an optional 25x bet multiplier, against the normal 20x. It doubles the natural chance to trigger Money Respin and increases MONEY symbol density on the reels. The symbol paytable does not change, and it disables the Buy Respin Feature while active.
Standard 20x betDouble respin chance
Up to 200,704 ways to win sit on a 6-reel grid, yet no one can tell in advance how often the Money Respin Feature starts. A session of Chilli Heat Megaways can contain many starts or none. The result of one session is random, and a 96.50% RTP describes the average over a very long run, not the next hour of play.
96.50% is the RTP printed for Chilli Heat Megaways, but which RTP version runs on Fairgo Casino is shown only in the game rules. Open that screen in the game before your first spin and read the figure there.
x5,000 is the highest multiple of the bet this slot can pay, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. The figure in money depends on the bet you place, so compare the amounts in the table for each stake.
Chilli Heat Megaways explained
Fairgo Casino answers from the game's own rules, so you know before you play.
Yes. The Buy Respin Feature starts the Money Respin feature straight from the base game for 100x the current total bet, which is A$500 at the A$5 example bet. It is not available while the 25x Ante Bet is switched on.
The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet. At the A$5 example bet that is A$25,000, and at the highest bet of A$240 it reaches A$1,200,000.
Chilli Heat Megaways has an RTP of 96.50%, which means A$96.50 is returned per A$100 staked over the long run. The Ante Bet keeps the same 96.50%, and so does the Buy Respin Feature.
The lowest bet is A$0.20, and the paytable on this page is written for that stake. Start at this level before you raise your bet, and watch how the Megaways grid behaves.
Volatility is high. Wins come in uneven stretches, with long quiet runs and occasional large payouts, and nobody can predict when the Money Respin feature will land.
