Developer
ELK Studios is a Swedish developing company based in Stockholm specialising in mobile pokies. They are new on the scene, having been operating since 2012 and they are making their way in the world of online pokies with the idea to focus on quality rather than quantity.
If we are to judge by their latest release, Wild Toro, their philosophy results in producing top-notch 3D pokies that provide a variety of new features and a fantastic entertaining experience.
How to Play It
When you start the game you will be presented with a 5×4 layout sporting all the typical Spanish symbols such as red rose, a fan probably thrown by one of the ladies watching the brave matador, silver and golden coins and an orange with a knife stuck in it.
Only these are symbols that will pay for five of a kind, with the rose paying the most – 1,000 coins for five matching symbols.
Wild Toro and the Matador are stars of this bullfighting event and they have special roles on the reels. Actually, the fight will continue on the reels, as the Wild Toro will attack the Matador enraged by his red cape.
The Wild symbol that appears across all reels is game’s logo and it can replace any of the standard game symbols. However there will also be the Toro itself appearing on the fifth reel only, but it can walk around the reels adding even more Wilds.
Matador appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and triggers Respins while it remains locked in the position. Basically, same as in the corrida the game play comes down to the battle between the angry bull and brave matador.

Special Features
The bonus features revolve around the main characters and we must say that the Toro is the star of this showdown. It will rock the fifth reel to the core and when he appears everyone should beware, especially the sleek Matador, Diaz Jr.
Toro can trigger two bonus features: Toro Walking Wild and Toro Goes Wild. In the first one it walks from reel to reel, starting from the fifth, triggering a re-spin each time it moves. When the rabid bull reaches reel 1 the respins will end.
The second feature triggered by the Toro happens when the Bull and the Matador both appear on the reels. As soon as Toro sees the Matador he will rush to attack him thus turning every tile into a Wild symbol.
The Bull will rage on until he chases away each and every Matador on the reels. You will pray for the Matadors to appear as often as possible, as it means that you could get the entire reel grid covered in Wilds.
Matador’s role in the whole story is to add Respins when it appears on the middle reels. That means that you will need three matadors to trigger 3 Respins.
The good news is that these will stay locked in place, which makes it easier for the Toro to do his job in Toro Goes Wild feature. Each new Matador symbol will add another Respin.
With all the respins and added wilds you are in for big wins.
Maximum Payout
The maximum amount you can stake is $100, while the maximum prize promised is 225,000 coins.
The most you can get from base game symbols is 1,000 coins for five roses, while if you have luck and see the Bull plant Wilds across the reels, you stand to win 2,250 times your stake on a single spin.
The return to player is 96.4%.
Summary
There is no doubt that Wild Toro promises loads of fun and lives up to the expectations to the fullest. The animation of the attacking bull and humorous rendering of the Matador who squeals at the sight of the Toro adds to the comical effect of the game.
But more importantly the constant fighting of the Bull and Diaz Jr. will bring you tons of Wilds and Respins and finally lead you to a top prize of 225,000 coins. The game is labeled as highly volatile, but it is definitely one worth spinning.
