Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Forms of bullfighting have existed around the world since ancient times, though today it is confined to just a few countries. In Spain in particular it is considered a cultural staple. Known as corrida de toros (coursing of bulls) or la fiesta (the festival), bullfighters know as matadors step into the ring to face an angry bull. Much of the imagery of the bullfight, such as the matador’s elaborate costume and the waving of a red cape to aggravate the bull has become iconic, including in the likes of the Wild Toro online slot.

There’s a lot of drama inherent in traditional depictions of bullfighting and that is what El Toreo draws on to create a thrilling game. There are the countless roses piled in the background, the red and gold colour scheme and of course symbols including a sword, a Spanish guitar, a dark-haired woman with a rose in her hair, a bull and the matador himself. Winning spins come with animations and perhaps a shout of “Ole!”, though it’s a shame there isn’t a little more use of Spanish music while the reels are turning.

El Toreo RTP and Variance

The extremely satisfying 96.08% RTP of El Toreo puts it right at the level you want when playing any slot. There’s also a high volatility which should excite the high rollers, as it means wins will be rarer but also higher when they do occur.

How to Play El Toreo

You don’t have risk the dangers of the ring yourself, just follow these few steps:

1. There’s a little gear on the left of the screen, just under the reels. Clicking it will give you the option to switch both music and the Gamble feature on and off.

2. Next to the gear is a clearly labelled Paytable button so you can take a look at all the symbols and their relative values, as well as instructions for bonus features.

3. Third in the line is the bet adjustor, which can be increased or decreased using the up and down arrows.

4. Leave the bottom line for a moment and look at the top right of the screen. There’s a full screen button and another volume button if you want them.

5. Back at the bottom and skip over the two green buttons (Autoplay and Spin) to look at the displays to the right. You can see your current balance, total bet and most recent win, all of which are useful figures to know.

6. If you’re ready to play, the Spin button is the big green one at the centre of the screen. Alternately, you could set up Autoplay using the smaller green button next to it. You can include a loss and single win limit as well as a number of automatic spins.

7. After a winning spin, the autoplay button will turn into Gamble if you want to make use of that feature.

El Toreo Bonus Features & Free Spins

Gamble

After a winning spin you will be given the option to gamble your winnings on the turn of a card. Correctly pick red or black to double your money, but choose wrong and you’ll lose your prize.

Expanding Wilds

The matador serves as a Wild, able to substitute for any other symbol except the Scatter when forming a winning line. It only appears on the second, third and fourth reels, but it can expand to fill the whole reel from top to bottom, meaning your chances of winning are dramatically increased.

Free Spins

The other important extra symbol is the bull, which serves as the Scatter. It awards a straightforward 12 free spins when you find it three times in any position.

El Toreo Review

This is a slick, sharp slot with excellent graphics, a well-realised theme and some exciting extra features including the Expanding Wild and free spins round. It successfully captures some of the drama of the bullring, though some more cautious players may feel wary about the high volatility. If you’ve enjoyed this trip to Spain, why not try out a different travel themed slot to try some other cultural activities all around the world.
