- A Summer-themed slot that will have your mouth drooling
- Mystery symbols only reveal high-value symbols
- Symbol upgrades during the free spins bonus
Red Tiger have released some excellent games recently, so I’m excited to take a look at their newest one, Red Hot BBQ. Just in time for Summer, this slot offers mystery symbols and free spins, but let’s see if it can stand out. I think visually it looks great, and the mystery sauce symbols really do look hot when they land. You’ll see that you play on a 5×3 grid that offers 20 pay lines. Just look for a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols that are as follows:
- Jack
- Queen
- King
- Ace
- Onion
- Garlic
- Green Pepper
- Yellow Pepper
- Orange Pepper
- Red Pepper

Red Hot BBQ Slot Bonuses and Features
Mystery Sauce. This is a pretty standard mystery symbol feature, where the mystery symbols are shown as hot sauce. Any time they land, all instances of them turn into the same, randomly chosen symbol. What’s good about this feature compared to many others is that the symbol will only be one of the higher paying ones, not the card symbols.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, giving you 9, 12 or 15 free spins, respectively. You’ll notice once the bonus starts that mystery symbols can have yellow peppers attached to them. These are collected in the hot bar. Every 3 peppers collected will fill 1 of the 5 steps on the trail, upgrading a symbol. The symbols are the higher value food items, again not the card symbols. You’ll want to upgrade symbols as much as possible so only the highest value ones are left, and you’ll see more of them. Whenever you manage to move up a step and upgrade another symbol, you’ll also get 2 more free spins to help keep things going, or another 3 free spins if you reach steps 3 and 4, or 5 more spins for reaching step 5, so in total you could be looking at an additional 15 free spins on top of the original number you started with.
Bonus Buy. For players outside the U.K., you may have the option of buying the bonus for 70x your stake, guaranteeing at least 3 scatters to start the free spins. You can also pay for 3 or more mystery symbols for just 5x your stake.
Conclusion
Red Hot BBQ slot from Red Tiger Gaming is one of their lower volatility games, so as you’d expect the maximum win is a bit lower than usual at 1,110x your stake. This is quite similar to some of their older slots but they were still quite volatile but this makes more sense. The mystery symbol feature works well and it’s nice that it only reveals higher value symbols. Free spins can be rewarding if you manage to eliminate enough symbols to just leave yourself with the top ones, but you still have the card symbols of course as these can’t be eliminated. Overall, quite a fun slot with some nice features and a good addition to their portfolio.
