Black Bull - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Watch out for the stampede in Black Bull, a traditional online slot by Pragmatic Play with a slight twist. Land golden coins with prize amounts in the base game, and if they coincide with the moneybag wilds, the prizes are multiplied by the number of wilds landed. Land 6 or more golden coins to trigger the free spins bonus game, where the prizes become progressive; more gold coins and wilds together mean bigger prizes and extra free spins. Find out how in this Black Bull slot review.

Black Bull Free Spins feature

Land 6 or more gold coins to trigger up to 10 free spins:

• 6-11 coins = 6 free spins
• 12-17 coins = 8 free spins
• 18 or more coins = 10 free spins

The sum of the coin prizes are collected at the side of the reels at the beginning of the feature. As the free spins start, any wild that lands will award the accumulated prize. The prize is multiplied by the number of wilds that land on each free spin. If more coins land, their value is added to the prize. For each extra 6 coins, 2 free spins are added during the feature. 

Black Bull Review 

Black Bull offers a little more than the traditional online slot, with its random gold coin prizes and its progressive coin prize feature during the bonus game that can lead to some significant winning potential. Its high volatility may tempt players to buy the bonus, but there's no guarantee of big wins.

If you prefer something with a lower volatility, our catalogue of Pragmatic Play slots have a wide array of features between them. If it's something from a different stable you want, check out the slot review for Relax Gaming's Dead Rider's Trail slot.
