Some cool alliteration in that title, we think you’ll agree. Paco welcomes you to check out this slot game, and you can expect to find some of his Popping Peppers on the reels. This isn’t the only slot game around that has some Mexican elements rolled into it, but it is one of our top slots to play on this topic.
So, join us as we say hello to Paco and find out what those peppers could be worth…
Which developer should we thank for this game?
If you thought this might be another hit from Betsoft, well done… you were correct on that score.
Demo spins make for the ideal introduction
There is a lot to familiarize yourself with here, so be sure and try a few spins without paying for them. The game has practice credits to use when you load the demo version, so it’s simple enough to try.
We love the Mexican food theme
Since Paco is standing next to what looks like a pizza oven (or is that just us and our love of pizza talking…), we guess it’s no shock to find lots of vegetables here and not just peppers.
Expect those veggies to have eyes…
We know potatoes have eyes, but everything does on the reels of this game! Some of the veggies look happier than others. Expect everything to appear in 3D as you go along.
How to play Paco and the Popping Peppers slots
This is a standard five-reel game, and we don’t have any jackpots to worry about. The colorful animal pinata is your wild icon for the game, and you can also watch out for a hut to appear. This behaves as a scatter symbol.
Variable paylines in play here
There are 30 lines, so you can play all of them or deselect some if you wish. If you do that, though, you could end up missing some prizes on lines you don’t play.
Begin from two cents per line
Check the ‘choose coin’ button on the bottom left of the screen to find all the other values and decide how many coins you want to bet on the lines as well. They’ve given us lots to think about here, to be sure everyone has options to consider.
Look for the hat to find the paytable
Yes, we know… it’s an odd statement! But the hat just above the fifth reel gives you a VIEW PAYS message, and that reveals the paytable with all the game details within.
Bonuses to look for in Paco and the Popping Peppers
See the chart on the right of the reels with MULTIPLIER at the top? It goes from 1x to 10x and comes into play whenever you earn a prize from the base game reels. At this point, the base value increases to 2x while the winning symbols disappear… or in this case, pop. Once this completes, other symbols fall into their spots and more fall into those spots to complete the grid again. If this creates another prize, you get the multiplier for this, and the chart goes up another spot. The process carries on until nothing is won. At this point, the multiplier goes back to 1x and the game continues.
Finding three scattered huts anywhere on the reels takes you into the proper bonus round. This is a Higher or Lower game, where you need to guess the likely value of the next card. The further you go, the higher your eventual prize. You do get three lives though, so you can continue even with one or two wrong answers.
Free spins don’t feature in this slot
If you love free games, you’re not going to find any of them in this game, sadly.
What sort of return to player percentage do we have here?
The game lets us down on this score, as the percentage is 94.29%.
Our rating for Paco and the Popping Peppers
We’re giving this 8/10. We would have given it a higher score if it had a better RTP and some free games to include.
All the peppers and veggies have different values
You can read more about these on the paytable. However, the wild symbol doesn’t merely substitute for other symbols in the game. If you can find five on the same line and you placed a bet on it, you’ll receive 500x the value of that bet.
Is the demo going to be enough for you?
We hope it provides the ideal beginning, at least, with more information to go on when you want to discover the facts.
Access the real game with an account at a relevant casino
If you find this slot at a Betsoft casino, you’ll need to join and deposit some funds to play the real version. Watch for bonuses when doing this, as you could get more to play with.
