El Toreo Review

What comes to your mind when you think of Spain. Corrida, of course, and that's what the El Toreo slot from GameArt is all about. Here, players will attend the entertaining bullfight show, where prizes of nearly 1,700x the bet are at stake, achievable through the exciting Free Spins with Sticky Expanding Wilds.

El Toreo - Slot Outlook

Loading the game will take players to the 5x3 reels, all done in red and gold, producing 10 ways to play on each spin. In the El Toreo slot, wins are evaluated both ways, from left to right and from right to left. Behind the grid, hundreds of red roses make up the backdrop. A truly Spanish outer look indeed. There's no soundtrack in the base game, but should you enter the free games, a piece of energic Spanish music will blast off your speakers to add a final touch to the atmosphere.

Overall, El Toreo is a well-designed game, though, there's nothing quite original to be found in its design.

El Toreo Slot - Reel Screen

To join the bullfight action, players need to place wagers from just £0.1 to £40 per spin, and that should appeal to many, except for maybe super-risky high-rollers, who prefer bigger bets. The volatility tends to the high side of the spectrum, or rather very high, as stated by the developer. Anyway, the hit rate of 21.24% provides wins will occur fairly often. The RTP is slightly above average at 96.08%, with 48,88% going to the line wins, and 47,20% to bonus features. The maximum possible win in the base game is 1,015x the stake, and free spins provide payouts of up to 1,691x the stake. Meanwhile, the average win value makes 4.52x of the bet.

There are 8 regular symbols included in the El Toreo slot, split in half into highs and lows.

The lower section comprises classic A-J royals, while the premium lot is made up of more Spain-related symbols. Those are in ascending order a rapier, a guitar, a lady, and a rose. All symbols pay for 3-of-a-kind and more, and 5-of-a-kind wins are worth from 2x to 250x the bet. The matador symbol is Wild, and it helps you create winning combinations by substituting for any other regular symbols. Additionally, it plays into the features to create bigger winning opportunities, covered below.

El Toreo - Bonus Features

Wild symbols can only appear on the three middle reels, namely 2, 3, and 4, so they don't have any own value. However, whenever a win is possible, they expand to cover the reel entirely.

Golden bull symbols are Scatters, and 3 or more of them appearing anywhere in view during the base game award 12 Free Spins. During the bonus, expanded Wild symbols turn Sticky and remain locked in place for the remainder of the feature. Finally, retriggers are possible.

Last but not least is the Gamble feature, which is a classic card-guess mini-game.

Once you score a win during the base game, a Gamble is offered, and you can risk your winnings for a chance to increase the payout. If you guess the color of a face-down card correctly, the win is doubled. The feature is repeatable, up to 5 times.

El Toreo - Slot Verdict

Although the El Toreo slot offers nothing new both from the visual and gameplay standpoint, it's a decent slot for sure. Expanding Wilds that are available at any game stage keep things interesting even during the base game, and should you enter the free spins, the experience will amplify drastically. Once you get at least 2 Wilds in the bonus, big wins will keep coming on every single spin, thanks to the both ways pay mechanic. All said and done, El Toreo might be not the best option out there due to the relatively low max win, but those really into the bullfight thing will definitely appreciate GameArt's effort.

Pros

• Expanding Wilds available at any game stage
• Free Spins with Sticky expanded Wilds
• Both ways pays mechanic

Cons

• Relatively low max win of 1,691x the stake
