Red Hot BBQ

For the players that are feeling a little peckish, the Red Hot BBQ slot has a lot to offer. Once the game loads, the instructions will appear on top of fiery coals, before a short cutscene begins. Players will then be taken to the main board, which sits on top of a barbeque, with animated smoke on either side. Sound effects are kept relatively minimal. However, the crackling from the coals can be heard in the background, alongside a guitar solo that triggers during every spin. 

Red Hot BBQ was created by Red Tiger, a casino online slots provider that is always prepared to go the extra mile to keep their titles entertaining. They focus on fun, with innovative themes and mechanics being used across their range. In the Red Tiger portfolio, players can find online slots such as Blood Suckers Megaways, Primate King, and Dragons Clusterbuster! 

The Royal icons make an appearance as standard symbols in Red Hot BBQ, with the J, Q, K, and A all being present. As for premiums, they are shown as garlic, an onion, a serrano, a jalapeno, a habanero, and a ghost pepper. In the same order, these can award players with up to 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, or 15x their stake size, respectively. 

Before touching on the two special symbols, we have to mention that this title does not come with a wild icon that is found in many slots online. Instead, there is a mystery symbol, shown as a bottle of hot sauce. Finally, there is the scatter icon that consists of the words 'Free Spins'. As many players would assume, these can be responsible for triggering the bonus round in Red Hot BBQ. 

As previously mentioned, the wilds in Red Hot BBQ have been removed in favour of mystery symbols. These can appear in any position, and all instances on the board will show the same icon. It's worth mentioning that mystery icons will only display premium symbols, too! 

Red Hot BBQ also comes with a free spins mode that can be triggered if three or more scatter icons land simultaneously. Players will be awarded with a total of 9, 12, or 15 spins to start the round, depending on whether 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols appeared. During this mode, pepper icons can land on top of existing symbols, and when they do, they will be collected and added to the bar located above the board. 

This bar contains five sections that each require a total of three pepper icons to fill. At each stage, the corresponding symbols will be upgraded to the next desirable one, meaning that if all segments are filled, ghost peppers will be the only premium icons in play. As for the standard J, Q, K, and A symbols, these will remain on the reels as well. Last but not least, filling sections 1 or 2, 3 or 4, and 5 can award players with an additional 2, 3, or 5 free spins, in that order. 

This spicey release comes with all of the features that many would expect from a Red Tiger title. It revolves around a relatively unique theme and has visually appealing graphics, with the board being made into the BBQ itself. The wild has also been swapped out for a mystery symbol. However, everything else remains rather standard!
