Chilli Games Slots: Studio Profile, Game List and Where They Are Certified
Chilli Games is a small independent slot studio that started up in Ukraine in 2019 and has kept releasing games through a pandemic and a war. It is not a name most British players will recognise, and there is a straightforward reason for that: the company is certified in Curacao, Romania and Croatia, not in Great Britain, so its titles cannot appear in a UK licensed lobby. What it does have is a wide catalogue for its size, artwork that is consistently better than the budget suggests, and a habit of building free spins rounds around a single expanding symbol. This page collects what we have been able to verify about the studio, the games we have reviewed, and the rest of the range.

A Chilli Games Slot in Action
My Slot, the studio’s most looked at title. The reels are dressed as a nineties file browser window, complete with an address bar reading C:\User\File and a search box, and the symbols are document, audio, disc, key, bin and laptop icons. Behind it sits a vaporwave grid floor with two setting suns and a pixel cat walking along the top of the window. It is a good example of what this studio does well, which is commit fully to an idea most suppliers would think too odd to build.

Top Chilli Games Slots
One Chilli Games title has a full review here so far. More will follow as we work through the catalogue.
The studio’s Egyptian book slot, with a koala explorer, thirty lines and a symbol drawn at random before each ten spin bonus. The only Chilli Games title reviewed here so far.
The rest of the range, taken from the studio’s listings and the directories that carry its games:
- My Slot. The studio’s best known game. A nineties operating system rebuilt as a slot, with file icons for symbols and a vaporwave sunset behind the window.
- Sam Koala and Koala Sam: Wild Hunter. Two more outings for the koala from Book of Sam, which makes him the closest thing Chilli Games has to a recurring character.
- Valhalla and Valhalla Deluxe. A Norse pair, with the Deluxe version reworking the original rather than continuing the story.
- Osiris Gold. A second trip to Egypt, this time built around the god of the underworld rather than a treasure hunter.
- Aztec Warriors and Mighty Mayans. Mesoamerican temples, a theme the studio has gone back to twice.
- The Great Pearl Deluxe and Mighty Sailor Deluxe. Two nautical titles, both released in upgraded Deluxe form.
- Bored Ape Slot Club. A slot about non-fungible token apes, released at the height of that trend and now a period piece.
- Viruslot, Lab of Luck and Stream Machines. The studio’s science and internet corner.
- Crazy Fruits, Fruits Deluxe 3×3, Bar Clover, Crazy Hot 20 and Crazy Fever Burning Wins. The classic fruit machine block, and a large part of the catalogue by count.
- MUMMYstery, The Egyptian Force and Book of Life. More Egyptian titles, which is easily the studio’s most worked setting.
- Halloween Witch House, New Year Spins and Big Top Circus. The seasonal and novelty releases.
- Meow Money Mania, Lucky Monkeys, Raccoon Town, Catch-A-Melon and Lille FunGuard. The animal and cartoon end of the range.
- Olympian Legends, Cabaret Wild, Bro Diac, Star Store, Hill Walley, Sombrero Spin, Dzen, Yummy Yummm and Wonder Spin. The remainder, spread across almost as many themes as there are games.
- Mystical Kitsune. Recorded as the studio’s most recent release, dated May 2024.
Features Chilli Games Is Known For
Free Spins with an Expanding Symbol
This is the mechanic the studio returns to most often, and Book of Sam is the clearest example of it. Three or more scatters open a fixed length round, one symbol is drawn at random before the first spin, and from then on that symbol fills its whole reel whenever enough of them land to make a win. The version Chilli Games uses pays on non-adjacent reels and across every line, which is the generous reading of the rule rather than the watered down one. Our free spins feature page covers how differently studios handle the same idea.
The Scatter and Wild in One Symbol
Rather than running a separate wild and a separate scatter, Chilli Games often makes a single symbol do both jobs. In Book of Sam the golden book pays from anywhere, triggers the bonus and substitutes for other symbols. It is a compact bit of design that keeps the paytable short, and it means the same landing can pay twice over.
Two of a Kind Pays
The premium symbols in Chilli Games slots frequently start paying from two on a line instead of three. On a thirty line grid that produces a constant dribble of small returns and makes the games feel much friendlier than their return figures suggest. It is the main reason we file Book of Sam as medium volatility despite the studio marketing itself to high volatility players.
Related Theme: Ancient Egypt
Egypt is comfortably the setting Chilli Games has returned to most, with Book of Sam, Osiris Gold, MUMMYstery, The Egyptian Force and Book of Life all working the same sand. The games below are the bigger studios’ versions of that idea, and they are all available from suppliers that hold a British licence. The full Ancient Egypt slots directory has the rest.
The Novomatic game whose rules Chilli Games followed almost exactly, kept to ten lines and a higher return.

About Chilli Games
Starting Up in 2019
The studio’s own account is refreshingly free of the usual supplier boilerplate. It describes a young team that began in 2019, took a virtual reality slots concept to ICE London in 2020, and pushed on through the pandemic rather than pausing. There is no founder name attached, no investor announcement and no press cycle. What exists is a small site, a games list and an about page written in slightly imperfect English that reads like a person wrote it rather than an agency.
Building Through the War
The same page notes plainly that the company was pursuing further certifications while a war was going on in its own country. That context is worth stating because it explains a lot about the studio’s shape: a catalogue that expanded quickly in 2022 and then slowed, a website frozen at a 2022 copyright line, and a release schedule that trailed off after Mystical Kitsune in May 2024. Whether the studio is still actively producing is not something we can confirm from public sources.
Where the Games Actually Are
Certification for Curacao, Romania and Croatia puts Chilli Games in a specific set of markets, and the directory data bears that out: Brazil, Romania, Ukraine and a scattering of Curacao licensed international sites. Great Britain is not among them and there is no sign the studio has ever applied. For British readers this page is therefore a reference rather than a shopping list. If a game on it appeals, the practical route is to find the equivalent from a GB licensed studio, and every game we have cross linked here is one.
What the Games Are Actually Like
Having gone through Book of Sam properly and looked hard at the rest of the catalogue, the pattern is consistent. The art direction is strong, sometimes genuinely inventive, and the maths underneath is conservative and a little dated. Ten free spins with one expanding symbol and no multiplier was a standard structure in 2015, not 2022. Returns sit in the mid nineties rather than at 96 and above. Maximum wins are simply not published, which in 2026 is the clearest signal that a supplier is working outside the markets where disclosure is expected. Take the games for the artwork and the pacing, not for the ceiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Chilli Games?
A small independent slot studio that began work in Ukraine in 2019. It exhibited a virtual reality slots prototype at ICE London in 2020, built through the pandemic and has kept releasing titles since the invasion. The company describes itself on its own site as a young and ambitious team rather than a corporate supplier, and the catalogue reads that way.
How many games have Chilli Games made?
It depends who you ask, and the gap is large. The studio’s own about page still says twenty classic games, but that page carries a 2022 copyright line and has not been revised since. SlotCatalog counts fifty three titles and records the most recent release as Mystical Kitsune in May 2024. VegasSlotsOnline lists a comparable number. We use fifty three as the working figure and flag the studio’s own number as stale.
Are Chilli Games slots available in the UK?
No. The studio holds certifications for Curacao, Romania and Croatia and does not appear on the Gambling Commission’s list of licensed software suppliers. That means no British licensed casino can carry its games. You will find them in Brazilian, Romanian and other Eastern European lobbies, and in Curacao licensed international sites that British players cannot legally use.
What is the best known Chilli Games slot?
By the traffic that games directories record, My Slot is the studio’s most searched title, a retro computer desktop themed game where the reels sit inside a mock file browser window. Book of Sam is the next most looked at, and Valhalla, Aztec Warriors and Osiris Gold sit behind them. None of these are household names, and the studio’s reach is genuinely small.
What are Chilli Games known for?
Volume and range rather than a single signature mechanic. The catalogue moves from three by three fruit machines to Norse raiders to a slot about non-fungible token apes without settling on one house style. Where a mechanic does repeat, it is free spins with an expanding symbol, which is the engine underneath Book of Sam. The studio’s own marketing says it aims at players who like free spins and high volatility games.
Do Chilli Games publish RTP and max win figures?
RTP yes, maximum win no. Book of Sam has a clearly published 95.3% return and no maximum win figure anywhere, from the studio or from any directory we checked. That is a real problem for anyone trying to compare its games against a bigger supplier’s, and it is the single biggest mark against the studio in our view.
