Paco and the Popping Peppers, also known just as Popping Peppers, is a fun Mexican themed slot game from software creator Betsoft. With 5 reels and 20 paylines, Popping Peppers has multipliers and bonuses with a light hearted and amusing theme that’s sure to make you smile.

Theme

From the mariachi music to the fun main character wearing a poncho and sombrero hat, the Mexican theme is at the forefront of this slot game and can’t be escaped. In the amusing opening sequence, we see Paco and his donkey entering a remote downtrodden town to unleash the popping peppers and start a fiesta. We’re taken away to sunny Mexico as the setting for the reels is a small shopfront under the sun, with Paco residing to the left. His funny phrases make this a great game to play, while the brilliant graphics and exploding vegetable symbols definitely make for a refreshing time on the reels.

How to Play

The wild in this game is the donkey pinata and it substitutes for all other symbols as well as paying out 2,500 coins when 5 are found on a payline. After a winning combination involving at 3 symbols, the peppers will ‘pop’ and new ones will fill their place, meaning even more winnings. Each time a pepper ‘pop’ occurs, a multiplier at the side of the reels will increase and you’re able to earn up to 10x your win this way.

Fiesta Higher or Lower Bonus

If you get 3 or more Tiki hut icons on the reels you’ll trigger the fun Popping Peppers slot game bonus. You’ll be asked to decide whether the next card in a sequence will be higher or lower than the previous and if you guess correctly, you’ll get a 2x multiplier on your winnings. You’re able to either guess wrong 3 times or play 10 round before the bonus ends.
