Extra Chilli Megaways is a proper volatile beast
Ran a short slap on Extra Chilli last night and it chewed through my A$100 quicker than most BTG titles I've touched. That 5/6 volatility is no joke. Anyone actually landing the free spins without Feature Drop, or is the Gamble for Spins just bankroll suicide at this swing level? I'm setting A$0.40 a spin and still felt the heat.
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
had a night on Extra Chilli where a A$50 slap turned into a tidy few hundred purely off the base game Megaways hits, never bought a single drop, then the very next week the same game swallowed A$150 without even a sniff of scatters. that gamble for spins at 5/6 volatility is pure poison for a short session, mate; you're paying full freight for a coin toss. let the free games come to you or don't play them at all. ah well, we grind on.
This might sound dumb but what's a Feature Drop exactly? Is that the same as buying the free spins outright? 😅 Still learning all these extras.

No dumb question at all, mate, everyone starts somewhere. The Feature Drop is basically the button that lets you buy your way straight into the free spins instead of waiting for three scatters to land the old-fashioned way. The price moves around depending on your stake, and sometimes the game lobs you a "drop" that knocks a chunk off the cost for nothing. In Extra Chilli you can also gamble whatever spins you buy or win - the Gamble for Spins wheel - to try and bump a small number of free games up to a bigger bunch, but land on the wrong spot and you walk away with sweet nothing.
On a 5/6 volatility beast like this one, that gamble is where balances go to die quick. Remember the old Queen of the Nile days when you just waited for the feature like a patient punter? Same idea applies here - the base game with all those Megaways can still carry you, as SamJackpot found out. If you're learning, my advice is skip the drop, keep stakes small, and let the scatters come to you 😉
I remember the old slots first-hand.
It sounds complicated, tbh. If I buy the Feature Drop for Extra Chilli Megaways, am I just paying extra money for a bigger shot at winning, or is it always better to just wait for the free spins normally? 🥺 I hope I'm being dumb here, but what's the difference in the chances when I pay for it versus just chasing the scatters myself? 🙏
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Funny thing, when Extra Chilli came out in 2018 I nearly walked past it thinking it was some tacky taco novelty, and now it's the one I tell the young fellas about when they ask why their balance vanished in ten minutes. The Gamble for Spins is where the real damage happens, trust me - you land the free games the honest way, then get greedy on the wheel and watch them evaporate. Seen blokes at the club do the same dance on Queen of the Nile chasing retriggers twenty years ago, some habits never die 😄
And Cairns_South, FreoDad's got it right, worth adding that the Feature Drop button only exists on the online version anyway, you'll never see it on a machine down the pub. That button is genuinely where balances go to die quickest, the base game with those 117,649 ways is far kinder to a patient punter than any shortcut will ever be.

@BonusVegas ha, I had the same thought back in 2018, wrote it off as a tacky taco thing then it ate a good chunk of my Friday arvo cash anyway 😂 The Feature Drop just moves the same variance faster, so where's the profit? A$100 buys with nothing landing is just a quicker way to cry 😏
Show me the withdrawal first 😏

@SpinToWin247 no profit on the Drop, just speed, agreed 😂 bought 3 drops myself once at the club machine and got absolutely nowt. Still love Extra Chilli though, hit a hot free spins run after and my balance went UP 🔥🤑
Backing my slot to the last spin.
@SpinToWin247 ha the tacky taco thing got me too 😂 wrote Extra Chilli off the first time I saw it at the club, then gave it one spin and now it's my all-time favourite megaways. And nah, there's no profit in the Drop, it just speeds up the bleeding. My worst night was a couple of buys back to back for nowt, brutal.
But waiting for scatters ain't exactly safe either, it can eat 200+ spins dry. Honestly I only touch it when I'm happy to lose whatever I've set aside that night, that's the whole deal with this game 🔥
@SpinToWin247 nah the Drop's got its moments mate, dropped a buy on Extra Chilli Megaways at the club a few weeks back and the free spins went absolutely stupid, paid for the whole arvo 🔥🤑 Dead set it's pure variance either way, sometimes the A$100 buys nothing, sometimes it bangs. But yeah if you're chasing losses with the Drop that's when it gets ugly quick
One slot, one love 🎰
Bought the drop on Extra Chilli once at A$100-ish a pop and three in a row paid nothing, never again, base game scatters only for me now 😭 That 5/6 rating is earned, you either catch the free games or the chilli eats your bankroll alive. Honest verdict: great game, worst one to chase on. 🎰
Bankroll discipline wins 💸

@Lee_Brekkie three drops and nowt, seen that story a few times from my contact who works the floor at a club in town 😏 funny thing is the punters who cop the dry buys always seem to land the free spins run straight after on the same machine. Coincidence? Those who know, know 🤫
