Kendoo launches Hot Chilli Joker slot with multiple Hold & Win bonuses

Kendoo, an Isle of Man-based iGaming studio, has released Hot Chilli Joker, a new slot title released on 13 February 2025 that pairs a traditional joker theme with a set of modern bonus features.

The game runs on a compact 3x3 grid with a single payline and builds around a Hold & Win format, offering several routes into bonus play. A Chilli Bonus feature raises the odds of triggering the Joker’s Madness round, while the Joker’s Madness Bonus itself guarantees the feature will land on every respin.

Bonus mechanics

Other features include Sticky Coins, which stay locked on the reels until a bonus round is triggered, extending gameplay, and Mystery Jackpot Symbols, which reveal hidden prizes once a round concludes. A Fake Collect mechanic sees chilli symbols feed into the joker character, upgrading his status as play continues.

Players wanting quicker access to bonus rounds can use a Buy Feature option, with three entry points on offer: the base Bonus Game priced at 30 times bet, the Chilli Bonus at 75 times bet, and the Joker’s Madness Bonus at 200 times bet.

Company comment

Kate Romanenko, Head of Commercial at Kendoo, said the title was designed to deliver excitement through its visual style and bonus structure, adding that the studio expects it to prove popular with players.

Hot Chilli Joker is now live across Kendoo’s partner platforms. Founded in 2024 and licensed in the Isle of Man, Kendoo supplies online casino platforms and aggregators with slot content, having previously operated as an outsourcing studio before establishing itself independently in the market.
