Where 3 Hot Chillies comes from
3 Oaks Gaming lists 3 Hot Chillies as released in October 2023. The demo's loading screen shows the 3 Oaks logo over "POWERED BY KENDOO Games", and 3 Oaks calls itself a distributor working alongside established studios. 3 Super Hot Chillies, from May 2025, is a separate game.
How 3 Hot Chillies works
Five reels by three rows carry 25 fixed lines. Lines pay left to right, each line pays only its best win, and wins on separate lines add up.
The wild, a moustached man in a sombrero, lands on reels 2 to 5 only and replaces every symbol except the Bonus coins.
Bonus coins are green, yellow and red; they land on any reel but pay only inside the bonus round. Three chilli stacks marked MULTI, DOUBLE and EXTRA hang over the reels, and four plates on the left show the jackpots in money at your stake.
Line pays in total bets and at R10
Pays are multiples of the total bet, with five of a kind also in rand at R10 a spin.
| Symbol | Five of a kind | Four | Three | Two | Five at R10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Señorita | 6x | 2x | 0.5x | 0.1x | R60 |
| Sombrero, guitar or bottle | 2x | 0.8x | 0.3x | none | R20 |
| Maracas or cactus | 1.5x | 0.4x | 0.2x | none | R15 |
| A, K, Q, J or 10 | 1x | 0.2x | 0.1x | none | R10 |
Coin colours and the three chilli stacks
One or more red coins "have a chance to trigger Bonus Game with Double Reels Feature", yellow ones with Extra Re-Spin and green ones with the Multiplier Feature, and several or all of them can come in one spin. 3 Oaks gives no number of coins.
The game page calls the coins chilli peppers and the multiplier feature ULTRA, while the rules say Multiplier Feature and the green stack reads MULTI. This page uses the rules' names.
The bonus game: sticky coins and three respins
Only Bonus coins land in the bonus game, which plays at the bet that triggered it. Coins stick; the round opens with three respins, and each new coin resets the count to three (to four with Extra Re-Spin, below). It ends when the respins run out or all 15 positions hold a coin.
Coins carry 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 or 10 times the total bet. Mini, Minor and Major coins also turn up at random and give their jackpots. At the end, all the coins' values are added up and paid as the Bonus Win.
Multiplier, Extra Re-Spin and Double Reels
3 Oaks lists a "BONUS GAME WITH 1, 2 OR 3 FEATURES":
- Multiplier Feature, green. Triggers at random, and each time x2, x3 or x5 can hit one or more random coins. Hits on the same coin multiply each other, and all are applied at the end: a 10x coin hit by x5 and then x3 ends worth 150 times the bet, R1,500 on a R10 spin.
- Extra Re-Spin Feature, yellow. Raises the respins to four, and each new coin resets the count to four.
- Double Reels Feature, red. Adds a second field with a copy of the starting coins. Coins land at random on both fields, each has its own respin counter, and the Multiplier Feature triggers on each field separately.
Mini to Grand: the jackpot ladder in rand
Mini, Minor and Major come as coins during the bonus. The Grand needs all 15 positions filled, and with Double Reels a full board on each field gives "two Grand Jackpots": a sum of two fixed prizes, not a published maximum win.
| Jackpot | Multiple of the total bet | At R2 a spin | At R10 a spin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 15x | R30 | R150 |
| Minor | 30x | R60 | R300 |
| Major | 100x | R200 | R1,000 |
| Grand | 1,000x | R2,000 | R10,000 |
| Two Grands, Double Reels | 2,000x | R4,000 | R20,000 |
Buying the bonus game
The bonus game can be bought for 70 times the bet, R700 on a R10 spin. The bought round plays at the triggering bet and brings "1, 2 or 3 random BONUS FEATURES". That is 70 stakes on one round.
Who makes 3 Hot Chillies, and the games beside it
The layout recalls 3 China Pots, the other 3 Oaks game on this site, but its rules differ: there the wild covers every reel, multipliers run from x2 to x10 and the Grand is 2,000x.
3 Oaks' footer links "Licensed by" to UK Gambling Commission account 63055, held by Green Rock Limited, one of the companies it says manage 3oaks.com. The register marks its remote Gambling Software licence Active.

3 Hot Chillies FAQ
How does the bonus game start in 3 Hot Chillies?
One or more coins of a colour have a chance to trigger the bonus game with that colour's feature: green brings multipliers, yellow a fourth respin, red a second board. Two features, or all three, can trigger on the same spin.
What are the 3 Hot Chillies jackpots worth?
Fixed multiples of the total bet, set in the Common Rules: 15x for the Mini, 30x for the Minor, 100x for the Major and 1,000x for the Grand. With Double Reels, full boards on both fields give two Grands.
Can you buy the bonus game?
Yes, for 70 times the bet, or R700 on a R10 spin. The bought round plays at the triggering bet.
What are the RTP, volatility and maximum win?
3 Oaks publishes no RTP, volatility or maximum win for this game, so none is given here; the 1,000x Grand is a fixed prize, not a stated maximum. See whether your casino's rules state a return before staking money.
