BGaming Fires Up a Mexican Fiesta With Red & Hot Chilli
BGaming has gone south of the border for its latest release, pairing up with studio Cream Team on Red & Hot Chilli, a Mexican street-party slot built around a trigger-happy mascot and a mystery-box bonus round. It’s a lively addition to a studio that’s been busy all autumn, and it lands with a gamble twist that lets players push their bonus winnings further.
What’s been released
BGaming has joined forces with Cream Team, the studio behind Sweet Samurai, to release a new game called Red and Hot Chilli
.
The release is the newest addition to BGaming’s #Entertainment portfolio and brings together several of the studio’s well-liked mechanics
. The slot went live on 7 October 2026, and given BGaming’s reach across thousands of casino platforms, it’s the kind of title that tends to surface quickly in the “new games” lobbies of BGaming-powered UK-facing sites.
It plays out as a 5×5 grid with 20 paylines, a 96.35% RTP and wins up to 5,000 times the stake, sitting at medium-to-low volatility with bets running from 0.10 up to 100
.
How it plays
The game’s calling card is its mascot. Standing beside the reels,
a serious, cranky-looking character reacts to player wins by firing a pistol and consuming Lucky Coins that land on the reels
.
The symbol set leans fully into the Mexican theme, with sombreros, avocados, maracas, margaritas and bottles of Tabasco sauce filling out the reels
.
Those Lucky Coins aren’t just decorative.
Landing three anywhere on the board results in a win, with each coin capable of carrying a value worth up to 100 times the base bet for some solid instant payouts
.
A chilli pepper acts as the game’s Wild, substituting for every paying symbol bar the Scatters and the Lucky Coin, and it always completes the highest-paying combination available on a line
.
The bonus round takes a different shape entirely.
It drops players into Minesweeper-style mystery boxes that are picked one at a time in search of bigger wins, with a bomb lurking somewhere in the grid
.
Those boxes can reveal coins, multipliers, gold and chilli prizes
. Once the bonus run ends,
a new gamble feature lets players risk their bonus-game winnings for a chance to double them
, giving the round a push-your-luck finish that’s slightly different from the usual free-spins payoff.
Where it fits
Red & Hot Chilli is the latest in what’s becoming a recognisable strand for BGaming. The studio released Red Hot Chilli Chickens with Electric Elephant Games just weeks earlier, in September, sending three nervous birds around a kitchen-themed grid with Mystery symbols and Hold & Win jackpots. Further back, Hot Chilli Bells gave the chilli motif a retro fruit-machine spin with expanding wilds. Stacking the three together shows a studio happy to revisit a popular flavour of release while swapping in fresh mechanics each time, here trading hold-and-win jackpots for a pick-style bonus and a tidy gamble add-on.
For UK players browsing slot libraries at BGaming-powered casinos, Red & Hot Chilli slots in as an accessible, low-stakes-friendly option thanks to its medium-low volatility and modest 0.10 minimum bet, while still offering a 5,000x ceiling for those chasing a bigger hit from the mystery-box round.
