Eltorero is a 5 reel, 10 payline slot by Edict merkur. I really cannot keep up anymore. It was first by Bally Wulf, then Merkur, now the game is by Reel Time gaming? Its very confusing, but I do not care who made the slot as I have benefited a lot from this slot and made a few withdrawals from the winnings from here.

Based on the festival in Spain where Matadors performs with bull inside a stadium ring to perform for the country while they celebrate the San Fermin festival. The game feature a low paying symbols which is your standard car deck symbol as well as hat, lady which is the second highest paying base game symbol and the Matador which is wild. The lady awards x50 your total stake, while wild line gives you x100 your stake.

The wild symbol come in a single form while the lady comes in stacks. The game does not have any base game features, which means its main attraction is the free spins feature.

Landing 3 bull symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger the free spins feature. You are awarded with 10 spins with no option to retrigger. During free spins whenever a wild symbol lands on the reels its sticky for the remainder of the free spins. Think of this slot as dead or alive or similar.

Wilds are visible during free spins and not difficult to land them from my experience. I had wild line twice already in this slot, its just too bad it happened at low stakes. Normally when you get a wild line, it happens from spin 5 and upwards. If only this slot had the benefit of giving additional 5 spins for 5 wilds on all reels, would really boost its potential.

I had a good couple of x500 wins, followed by x200 and x100 wins. For most times I played this I was in profit and had made withdrawals. These days this slot is just extremely cold and does not play like it used to.

Actually, bullfighting is not one of my favorite arts, but some 10 pay line video slots created by “Edict - Merkur Gaming” have turned out to be interesting to me in the past, not so much by their appearance, but by the Big wins that some of its features have the ability to generate.

“El Torero” is a slot equipped mainly with a special feature that happens during the round of 10 free spins, and precisely, this feature I talk about, it holds wild symbols in place from the moment they appear until the end of the round.

The previous one is certainly a very promising feature, and I have to admit that the times I managed to trigger a round of free spins, I always had enough wilds to form 5-of-a-kind lines for at least the last two free spins; and precisely, my best wins during this slot came from this feature, that by the way, they were of 25x and 67x my total bet, since I could only trigger this round on a couple of occasions.

During the base game, our chances of getting a decent payout are much more limited, as these basically boil down to the possibility of getting 3 or more reels with the woman's symbol stacked, and in fact, in order to get a winning of acceptable size, these lines must be at least of 4 of a kind since the paytable in this slot is particularly weak compared to other 10-line slots.

I really never had the feeling that my session today would end with a positive result, but fortunately, I had already raised my bet a couple of times when I finally triggered my second and final round of free spins, so that such winning of 67x was enough to recover losses and also to obtain a positive balance that I could keep until the moment I decided to close my session.

At this point, I do not think I can say that “El Torero” is the best or the worst slot in Merkur Gaming portfolio that I had ever played, I think I would put it in an average zone, and this is mainly because of its tight prices that do not seem allow the creation of high expectations.
