About Wild Toro Slot
After we visited the Plaza de Toros de Ronda in Spain, we couldn’t help but think how our Spanish brothers and sisters together with their Matadors are insanely insane, lol. Who in their right mind taunts a bull ten times their size, with an irksome red cloth? Only the insane bullfighters and those with the balls of steel. While we disapprove of the bullfighting sport, we wondered what it felt like to be right in the middle of the arena, facing off with an infuriated bull. The vibes and energy in the air must be electric! But we were able to experience this, thanks to ELK’s Wild Toro Slot. This software developer has tried to recreate this emotion in their Wild Toro slot.
Anyone that’s been playing slots for years will realize that there’s something special about this game right from the word go. The game offers a mind blowing 178 unique ways of winning, which will be played on a standard set of five reels. With the excitement of a showdown between the Matador and Toro, you’ll be benefiting from the Toro Walking Wilds together with the exciting bonus round. Jackpot hunters might not be happy with the game as it lucks a progressive jackpot, but we are sure the impressive payouts created during the base game and through the in-game bonus rounds will appeal all sorts of players!
Wild Toro Slot Mechanics
As already mentioned, ELK has ditched the standard paylines for the unique 178 ways of winning. You’ll be playing the game by placing a 20 coin bet to activate all the 178 ways to win. There are various bet amounts supported with players who have a squeezed budget wagering just €0.20 to enjoy all the features offered by the game, and those who want to go for the high payouts being able to wager up to €100 per spin.
Now here’s the cool part about Wild Toro; you can play the game in two different modes. The base game, where you’ll be spinning the reels in anticipation of Toro and the bonus game, where Toro appears.
Wild Toro reels are covered with different symbols. The silver, gold and bronze coins are the low paying symbols while the rose, a Spanish fan, a daggered orange and the Matador Diaz Jr. are the high paying symbols. What you really want to see appearing on the reels are five portraits of Matador Diaz Jr. which ensure that you win up to 2,250× your bet.
Wild Toro has a Max Bet button which allows for fast wagering at a set coin value. There’s also an Autoplay feature, where you get to select the number of spins that you’d like the game to play itself.
In-game Features
We liked how ELK Studios has gone an extra mile to add some awesome features that make the game more interesting to play and offer multiple ways of generating payouts. These features include the Toro Walking Wild Feature; Toro Goes Wild Bonus Game and the Matador Respin Challenge.
Toro Walking Wild Feature – This feature becomes active once the Toro Wild symbol appears on the fifth reel. The Toro will then start moving from one reel to the next one, leaving behind a respin for each move. This will continue until he reaches the first reel
Toro Goes Wild Bonus – When Matador Diaz Jr.’s portrait shows up anywhere during the Toro Walking Wild feature, Toro gets infuriated and charges at the Matador. In the process, he will leave wilds in place for the next respin
Matador Respin Challenge – In the 2 hours that we played the game, we didn’t manage to trigger this feature but we watched a YouTube video which shows three Matador Diaz Jr. portraits in the middle three reels. Three respins were offered and the Matador symbols held their position for all spins. This created more wins.
Conclusion
The Spaniards aren’t known as hot blooded for no reason. Continuing with their ancient custom of dressing up as majestic matadors and stepping foot into the stadium where they are meant to tame an infuriated wild beast is enough for any Brit, French, Swed, German or foreigner to dance to Spanish rhythms involuntarily. Yet, the Spaniard Matadors do it with so much ease!
However, the best thing about Wild Toro is that it has eliminated all the expenses you could have incurred to travel to Spain to experience this thrill. You can now enjoy it straight from your home, and with the best RTP rate of 96.4%.
