El Toreo Introduction
There is no need to waste time getting familiar with a difficult game format with this pokie, as everything is set up for players to pretty much open it and go. The control panel is a delight, with chunky boxes large enough to track your stake, the number of lines bet and your winnings at a glance, along with an oversized spin button front and centre.
Characters and symbols
You may already have the impression that El Toreo delivers an excellent pokie experience without any of the smoke and mirrors some games adopt to add ’edge’, so it is probably no surprise that the icons are equally limited yet well used. Watch out for the rose on the reels, as this is the most generous image on the reels, followed closely by the beautiful Spanish senorita, the guitar, and the cape-sword set so vital to the bullfighter.
The minor icons are the standard picture playing card images. The rewards for matching five symbols are pretty low across the board, with the rose’s maximum looking positively huge compared with the low sums other main icons deliver. Spinning three of anything mentioned here produces a win of between just five and 50 cents! You must be wondering whether that is all there is to it?
Surely not! Of course, you would be right, as the two unchallenged stars of any show such as this must be the bull and the bullfighter, with both offering lots of extra features to players in this pokie.
Rewards and extras from the generous icons
The number of bonus games and additional chances to win El Toreo offers is truly amazing, making this the perfect pokie for even the most demanding of players! Let’s take a look at the different opportunities that could see you winning big.
The matador - the coiffed and immaculately costumed heartthrob of the bullring - is always looking to show up and go wild on the reels, expanding each one he touches and subbing for all other symbols except the scatter. He may be limited to reels two, three and four, but this does not diminish his generosity. Not to be outdone, the bull doubles up as the scatter and triggers a welcome bonus free spin feature.
To cash in you need to find three to five bull icons on a single spin. There is a further twist for winners - during their 12 free spins, any sign of the matador on reels two to four will produce a madcap show of both wild and scatter at work!
Other great features
El Toreo is a GameArt pokie with a lot to offer, although not everything is as obvious as the vibrant characters and fun win options that first capture your attention. This pokie can be played on a desktop, mobile and tablet without losing out on the quality of graphics, sounds or overall experience.
There is also a standard gamble option offered to players after every win: take a chance on doubling your winnings by correctly predicting whether a card will be red or black. Get it right and you can continue guessing up to nine more times and possibly add a whole load more cash to your winnings; get it wrong and lose anything won during this spin.
Are you brave enough to step on into the ring?
You may never have another chance to take on the greatest, most feared and respected animal in Spain, so what have you got to lose? El Toreo is never going to be known for generous regular reel win payouts, but it more than makes up for this with the various extra ways to win. Just like the bull, this game will always keep you on your toes and on guard, so give the reels a spin today!
