October is known as the month when one feels a chill in the air. Leaves fall, the smell of pumpkin spices fills the air and the bustle of Halloween preparations keeps everyone busy. For many, October marks the celebration of National Vegetarian Month, a month dedicated to paying homage to the delectable tastes and textures of fruits and vegetables, grains, legumes and other vegetarian delicacies.

Why Choose Vegetarian?
More and more people are choosing to adopt a vegetarian diet based on personal, ethical and environmental considerations. Some people who decide to become vegetarians often express the feeling that they see benefits in their own personal lives. Others feel that they are supporting a lifestyle that positively impacts the planet and the living beings on the planet.
Some reasons for choosing to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle include the benefits to one's personal health – heart health due to lower saturated fats and cholesterol, prevention of diseases like diabetes 2 and certain types of cancer, optimal body function thanks to the vegetarian diet's higher amounts of fiber, vitamins, folic acid and magnesium and aid to weight management.
There's an additional moral component to vegetarianism, which reduces reliance on factory farming, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports land and water conservation.
Vegetarian Diet
Cooking meat is, in many ways, easier than preparing a vegetarian meal. Meat can be boiled, broiled, fried, roasted, sautéed or grilled and, if prepared properly, is, in and of itself, filling. Cooking good vegetarian food generally involves more steps in the preparation and execution of the dish.
Yet vegetarian cooking can be very satisfying as produce mixes and melds to create a mouth-watering, tasty treat. Grande Vegas's slots bring vegetarian cuisine to Spanish and Asian cooking in the dynamic Hot Pots Master and Spicy Reels Fiesta slots gaming events.
Hot Pots Master
Asian food relies heavily on pork, chicken and beef but almost any dish can be adapted to a vegetarian diet. The Hot Pots Master slot machine focuses on the famous Chinese dumplings, which cooks fill with vegetables to create an authentic Asian dumpling.
The Hot Pots Master reels are filled with woks, cleavers, bamboo steamers, fish, corn, teapots, mushrooms, meat slices, and rice cookers, which you line up on the 243 PayWays to complete combinations. Each and every spin offers a possible 243 Ways to Win, so the payouts just keep coming! The teapot is the Wild symbol -- it substitutes for other symbols to add more winning combinations.
There are three main dumplings -- a Yellow Dumpling, a Green Dumpling, and a Red Dumpling. Throughout the spins, you collect dumplings, with each being placed into its own yellow, red, or green pot. As the dumplings cook, their pots simmer, enlarging the gameboard and activating special bonus features.

Regardless of whether the cuisine is vegetarian or meat-based, you can be sure that Spanish fare will always be spicy!
That's what you'll find in the Spicy Reels Fiesta, where hot peppers combine with sombrero-wearing avocados, grinning tacos, happy dishes of hot sauce, and many other engaging symbols to fill out the 243 payways so that you can collect your winning payouts.
The “Wild” symbol substitutes for other symbols to complete paylines and deliver payouts. When the Wild appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, it becomes a grouped wild to add more wins. Morphing Symbols roam the reels, causing winning symbols to morph after payouts are delivered so that new symbols can emerge to complete new combinations.
