Wild Toro Slot

Wild Toro Slot Machine

Bullfighting may not be considered animal friendly (especially not for the bull), but here the bull is in control. Have Elk Studios managed to seize the opportunities and take charge of the situation, or is it unbelievably disappointing?

A Site for More than Spanish Eyes

It all starts with the name, which quickly fades away, revealing a detailed background image of the game. Given the strong association of bullfighting with Spain, it’s no surprise that the game is set in a small-town pueblo.

From a bird’s eye view, we can see quaint houses with pink walls adorned with paper decorations, traditional lanterns, and bunting. Clouds drift by, smoke billows from chimneys, and small flags flutter in the breeze. The background music features a gentle flamenco melody accompanied by distant crowd noises.

The 5 large reels dominate the screen with a darkened overlay. The flower, matador, and ornate fan symbols stand out as they extend beyond their reels, creating a visually striking effect. This unconventional layout lacks the typical side reels and credit buttons; instead, the play button is prominently displayed and inviting.

Exciting Gameplay Options

Located at the bottom left are two stacks of coins, allowing players to adjust their wager amount. The default setting is 0.20, but players can select from 8 other wager values ranging from 0.40 to 100. The currency used is clearly indicated as euros.

Additional features include the ability to select automatic spins of 10, 25, 50, or 100 by holding down the spin button. Moreover, players can customize their gaming experience by toggling the music, game sound effects, and on-screen coin display. A ‘Reality Check Interval’ can also be set for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 to 2 hours.

Roses are the most valuable regular symbol, offering a maximum of 1,000 credits, followed by the knifed orange. The remaining symbols consist of an ornate fan, gold, silver, and bronze coins, with two-of-a-kind combinations not yielding any rewards.

With 178 ways to win, a visual representation is provided to showcase potential winning patterns. The rules are detailed in 23 numbered points across multiple pages in the Paytable section. The Wildcard, identified as Wild Toro, substitutes for all symbols except Toro and Matador, and can result in significant wins if a winning line comprises solely of Wildcards.

Noteworthy is the Toro symbol, appearing exclusively on the fifth reel, which acts as a Walking Wild. This unique feature sees the bull moving from left to right with each respin, transforming Matadors into Wildcards and eventually remaining as a Wildcard on the first reel. The game also introduces Respin Triggers triggered by 3 Matadors on reels 2, 3, and 4, which lock in place and award extra spins.

Four innovative play options are available: The Optimiser (blue) automatically adjusts the bet level based on a percentage of the balance, while Leveller (green) raises the bet after 5 consecutive losses. The Booster (red) increases the bet level after each loss, and the Jumper (yellow) boosts the wager level after each winning round.

Toro’s Excellence

Although visually not the most dazzling, the game is filled with pleasant surprises and offers a dynamic, original gameplay experience. Every aspect of the game has been carefully crafted to cater to individual styles, rewarding bold and strategic play akin to Toro himself.
