El Torero is a five-reel, 10 payline slot from Edict (Merkur Gaming) with a bullfighting theme.
Bullfighting is a concept that has not been used a great deal in slot games in the past, which is rare for any theme, and means that this slot has the chance to make itself ‘the’ slot when it comes to the theme of bullfighting.
However, bullfighting is a controversial issue and one that is often debated, and not exclusively by the animal rights activists you would expect it off.
Choosing such a polarising theme is a risk at best, and may explain why other developers have not chosen to take on this particular concept.
Design and theme
Whatever your opinion may be on the subject, it can’t be argued that El Torero looks pretty good, although the design style here is unlikely to appeal to everybody.
Colours are bold and bordering on neon at times, which creates a style that is eye-catching to some, but, one assumes, would be irritating to others.
The use of the 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols as filler often feels like a bit of a cop out, and making them colourful has not done enough to not make it feel like this here too.
Other symbols involve a bull and a matador (obviously), a hat, and a few other themed symbols.
Features
There is a gamble feature here, a 50/50 slot which is a constant in Merkur games.
The main feature is the free spins feature, which is triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols on the reels.
You get 10 spins and locked wilds here, as well as the ability to re-trigger, so although the free spins round may not look that good at first, it can come into its own if the reels spin the right way.
