I’m a person who really likes spicy food. But recently, the spice game has gone nuclear. There are plenty of spice wizards out there who grow peppers hot enough to be used as self-defense weapons. Heart attack caused by chili peppers? That’s where I draw the line. I love cooking, not the guts to pray to porcelain gods after eating curry.

In the base game, the Enter the Fiesta feature can trigger randomly on every spin that contains a wild. When triggered, all wild symbols will move left until they reach the first reel, turning every symbol they encounter into a wild symbol. When the Enter the Fiesta wild moves left and runs over another wild, it transforms into a 2x multiplier wild symbol. Once all moves have been made the winning amount is calculated and all eligible multipliers are applied as long as the winning combination includes a multiplier.

Three, four or five Sombrero scatter symbols trigger the Chili Inferno bonus game and award three, four and five lives respectively. During a Chili Inferno round, the Chili Collector sets up shop in the center of the slot and eats all the Chili Pepper symbols that appear, leaving behind the multiplier value. The standard Chili Pepper awards a multiplier ranging from 2 to 15 times the bet. The hot sauce bottle leaves a 30x multiplier.

Each time a chili pepper or hot sauce bottle does not appear on the reels, you lose one life. The round ends when all lives are lost. There is also a level system. Collecting enough pepper symbols during one spin will advance you through the level. Doing so will make the Chili Collector larger and will increase after the global multiplier is introduced.
Is Ariba a hit? A slot worth opening?
Ariba hit! The slot has 10 paylines and a betting range between $0.10 and $30. If you bet at the top of that range, you could win up to $163,020 thanks to a max multiplier of 5,434x. The slot is highly volatile and has an RTP of 96.11%.
Chili themed games are always a bit wacky. I’m not sure what that means, but it’s definitely part of the metaphor. Ariba hit! The base game tries to be a bit more serious. But as soon as you start playing the bonus game, the stupidity comes back. It’s definitely not my favorite slot run, but it’s far from my least favorite. This gives you the added benefit of some great bonus features. Overall, I would give this piece a 7 out of 10.
