The El Torero slot machine, a game from the well-known software manufacturer Merkur, brings you exciting bullfighting action. In a Spanish fiesta atmosphere, this slot brings excitement and action to your home. Look forward to lots of free spins and other additional games with this Merkur slot.
Update 2019: Even after the discontinuation of Merkur games in Germany, you can still play El Torero 2019. Among others, Drückglück (ZUR SPIELOTHEK) offers the version from Reel Time Gaming. There is a bonus with 100% up to $300 with the bonus code GLUECK. You can also play El Torero at Playojo, Queenvegas or Stakes. The Reel Time Gaming version is identical to the Edict game (which is not available in Germany).
As a video slot machine, El Torero has five reels with three rows each. The game also offers ten different paylines. You can set the number of paylines flexibly. The more paylines you use, the higher your round bet, but of course your chances of winning increase accordingly. With ten activated paylines, the minimum bet per spin is $0.10. You can play with a maximum stake of $20 per spin. Merkur states that the return-to-player percentage for this slot is 96.08%, which is roughly in the same range as the Merkur slot games Eye of Horus and Voodoo Shark. Don’t forget: El Torero also has an Auto Play function that allows you to activate spins automatically.
Bulls, roses, Spanish guitars – the El Torero slot lets you immerse yourself graphically in the world of bullfighting arenas.
Wilds, free spins and the gamble feature
Let’s now take a look at what else this slot has to offer: The Torero acts as the wild symbol in this game. It substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter.
The scatter is represented by the bull. If you spin it three times, you receive ten free spins. If a wild appears in the free spins mode, it remains as a static symbol for the remaining free spins. Of course, this can greatly increase your chances of winning.
Those of you who have already played Merkur slots will already know the gamble feature. You have the choice of activating it after each winning round. In this machine, you can choose between two different games. The card game is all about guessing the right colour, red or black. With each correct guess, you double your round winnings. If you get it wrong, you lose your winnings. The second game you can choose from is a ladder game, in which you go either up or down a ladder. Here, too, you can multiply your round winnings. However, with a bit of bad luck you can also gamble away the entire round win. Both gamble games are more for the gamblers among you.
El Torero Mobile
You can also play El Torero in a mobile version for smartphones and tablets. Simply select the game in the mobile Merkur casino of your choice via the lobby. In the mobile version, you activate a spin by clicking on the green arrow on the right. If you want to adjust your bets beforehand, you can do so at the bottom left. There you can also change the number of paylines. Since the El Torero slot is a fairly simple game, you can also use this game very well on smaller mobile devices.
You don’t have to miss out on playing El Torero online on the go. There is also a good mobile version.
Test conclusion: Simple and without frills – with the danger of soon becoming bored
With the El Torero slot machine, Merkur has perhaps not succeeded in releasing a groundbreaking slot. But this is probably not the intention of Merkur, as the game has been developed quite simply, as you are used to from the arcade. In addition to the simple graphics, the gameplay is also quite simple. As an additional feature, only one freespin game is offered – but this has some very lucrative winning lines. If you want to win more, you can risk your winnings in the two gamble games. Overall, El Torero is certainly a very appealing game for Merkur slot fans. However, the game’s excitement will probably not be maintained for very long due to the few special features.
