How chilli respins reset

A twenty-five-line base layout covers five reels and three rows. Wilds substitute for eligible regular symbols, while money symbols display bet-based values or named jackpot awards without paying through ordinary line combinations.

Six or more money symbols trigger three respins. Those symbols remain sticky, blank positions spin again, and every newly landed money symbol resets the counter to three before the next respin begins.

The Hold and Spin sequence ends when the counter reaches zero or every grid position is filled. Three Scatters instead award eight free spins using only the highest-paying regular symbols, with further Scatters able to add more rounds.

What sticky money changes

  • Money values: Feature symbols carry bet-based prizes or jackpots.
  • Sticky coins: Landed money symbols remain fixed throughout respins.
  • Respin reset: Each new money symbol restores three remaining respins.
  • Full grid: Filling every cell awards the listed Grande jackpot.
  • Free spins: Three Scatters open a separate eight-spin feature.
  • High symbols: Bonus reels retain only the top regular icons.

Where respin prizes concentrate

Ordinary payout value comes from twenty-five fixed lines, while money symbols reserve their displayed amounts for the separate respin feature. A visible value in the base game is therefore not payable unless enough money symbols activate the bonus.

Hold and Spin value depends on filling open positions before the counter expires. Each new symbol both adds its own amount and restores attempts, but blank respins reduce the remaining counter and can end the sequence with many cells unoccupied.

The game lists x5,000 maximum exposure at 95.54% RTP and medium volatility. The free-spin route concentrates value in premium symbols, whereas the respin route depends on accumulated money awards and the full-grid condition rather than line multipliers.

Player fit and limitations

  • Sticky values: Suits players tracking held money awards across respins.
  • Two bonus routes: Suits players separating respins from premium free spins.
  • Six-symbol gate: Hold and Spin requires six money symbols.
  • No carryover: Sticky values clear when the feature finishes.
Counter resets

Each new money symbol can encourage chasing another counter reset.
