Pick a bet, then spin a Mexican food slot on a 5x3 grid. Chilli Heat pays on 25 fixed paylines that run left to right, and a win needs at least 3 matching symbols in a row. The symbols are Mariachi Man, Chihuahua Dog, the hot sauce bottle and chilli, the margarita glass, and the cards A, K, Q and J. Wilds replace other symbols, and stacked Wilds can cover a whole reel.
Choose Chilli Heat if you want a round built around Money Symbols. Six or more of them start a Money Respin, and each new Money Symbol resets its count to 3 respins. Free Spins start from 3 Scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. Three more Scatters award 8 spins with no limit on retriggers, and the Money Respin can trigger during Free Spins.

Know every step
Read this before your first spin, when you want the order of a round.
Pick a bet from A$0.25 up to A$125 before you spin. The tables on this page use A$2, A$5 and A$10 as examples, and the paytable uses A$2.
Look for three or more matching symbols on a payline, starting from the left. All 25 paylines are fixed. Stacked Wilds can cover a whole reel.
A Stacked Wild can land on any reel. The GRANDE, MAJOR and MINI jackpot banner stays on screen at all times. Six or more Money Symbols start a Money Respin.
Land 3 Scatter (Sun) symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 to start 8 Free Spins. Only Wild, Money Symbol, Scatter, A, K and Q appear on those special reels.
Set your budget before the first spin, and stop when it is spent. Free Spins and Money Respins add rounds you did not choose, so check your balance often.

Spins that keep coming back
After this you will know how a spin, a bag-filled respin round and the free games all begin.
Six or more Money Symbols start this round: normal icons fade and the grid turns dark green. Three respins come with it, and each new Money Symbol resets the count to three. Fill all 15 positions and the GRANDE jackpot joins the summed bag values.
Base spinsSummed bag values
Three sun Scatters landing on reels 2, 3 and 4 pay 8 spins over a navy night sky. Only Wilds, Money Symbols, Scatters and A, K, Q stay on the special reels. Three Scatters inside the round add 8 more, with no cap, and a Money Respin can start mid-round.
A dry patch8 plus 8 spins
Every round opens here on a 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines, left to right. The GRANDE, MAJOR and MINI jackpot banner sits on screen the whole time, stacked Wilds can turn up on any reel, and the bags you collect feed the respin round.
Tapping spin25 fixed paylines
Choose your stake knowing that the bonus round cannot be timed. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and no page can state it. The result of one session is random, and the RTP only describes the average over very many spins.
Look at the game rules before you decide on a stake, because the RTP version running on Chilli Heat is shown only there. Star Casino lists the figures on this page, yet the rules text is where to confirm which version applies to your session.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling, since Chilli Heat reaches it very rarely. Set your bet and your session budget around what you can afford to lose, not around the top prize. The maximum win shows the most the game can pay, and no spin is promised to come near it.

Chilli Heat questions
Most players worry about stake size and free spin triggers. These answers settle both.
Three Scatter (Sun) symbols must land on reels 2, 3 and 4 to start 8 free spins. Only Wild, Money Symbol, Scatter, A, K and Q appear on those special reels. Three more Scatter during free spins add 8 more spins, with no limit on retriggers.
Chilli Heat has one RTP version, 96.50 percent. That means the game returns A$96.50 for every A$100 staked over a very large number of spins. A single session can finish well above or below that figure.
Stakes run from A$0.25 to A$125 per spin. The examples on this page use A$2, A$5 and A$10, and the paytable uses A$2, so you can compare payouts at familiar stakes. Pick the stake that fits your budget before the first spin.
Volatility here is medium. Medium volatility means wins fall between smaller regular payouts and occasional large ones, so a session can swing either way. Results of any single session cannot be predicted.
The paytable on this page shows what each symbol pays at a A$2 stake, so you can study the prices before you spin. The lowest stake is A$0.25 per spin, so you can start small.
Win size depends on the stake, the symbols that land and the features triggered. Money Respin sums all bag values, and a full grid of 15 filled positions also awards the GRANDE jackpot. Nobody can know in advance how big a win will be.
