Wild Toro II

Wild Toro 2 is a visually striking slot game developed by ELK Studios, released on October 5, 2021. This game is a sequel to the popular Wild Toro, featuring enhanced graphics, immersive sound design, and expanded gameplay mechanics. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant Spanish town, the game captures the essence of traditional bullfighting with a twist.

The base game is played on a 5×5 grid with 259 ways to win, which can expand up to 5×8 with 502 ways during special features. Symbols on the reels include classic card royals (J-A) adorned with ribbons, silver and gold coins, knifed oranges, and roses. The rose is the highest-paying regular symbol, offering 5x the stake for a five-of-a-kind combination.

Wild Toro 2 incorporates several wild symbols, each with unique properties:

• Logo Wild: A standard wild that substitutes for all regular pay symbols.
• Silver Matador Wild: Triggers the Expanding Matador Respins feature.
• Golden Matador Wild: Activates respins with a progressive multiplier.
• Toro Wild: Initiates the Toro Goes Berserk feature when appearing with a Matador Wild.

The Expanding Matador Respins feature is central to the game's excitement. When a Silver or Golden Matador Wild lands, it triggers respins and expands the grid by adding one row, up to a maximum of 8 rows. During respins, Matador Wilds move one step left per spin until they exit the grid. The Golden Matador Wild comes with an initial multiplier that increases by +1 with each step.

The Toro Goes Berserk feature activates when a Toro Wild and a Matador Wild appear simultaneously. The Toro charges towards the Matador, leaving a trail of regular wilds. If Toro defeats a Golden Matador, it inherits the progressive multiplier. Additional Toro symbols appearing during respins also inherit the current multiplier.

Wild Toro 2 also features an X-iter betting system, offering various bonus buy options:

• 100% Win: Guarantees a winning spin for 5x the bet.
• Sticky Wilds: Provides one spin with a guaranteed Expanding Matador Respin for 25x the bet.
• Bonus: Triggers the Toro Goes Berserk feature for 100x the bet.
• Big Bonus: Awards three spins with at least one Expanding Matador Respin per spin for 250x the bet.
• Super Bonus: Similar to the Big Bonus, but the highest multiplier achieved in a spin is added to Golden Matador multipliers on the next spin, costing 500x the bet.

An interesting feature of Wild Toro 2 is its dynamic reel expansion mechanic, which not only increases the ways to win but also integrates seamlessly with the walking wild respins, creating potential for extended bonus sequences and substantial payouts.
