For young Spaniards and daft tourists, the Pamplona Bull Run is something of rite of passage; it’s a six hundred year old tradition which takes place in the Spanish town of Pamplona and involves running in front of a group of bulls while trying not to get trampled.

An online slot machine based on the running of the bulls is clearly overdue and this release from IGT actually focuses more on bullfighting in general than a desperate race through the streets.  The backdrop to the game is a bullfighting arena and the lower value symbols are standard playing cards.  The higher value symbols are all theme-related and include swords, flowers, a bull and a red cape.  The wild symbol is the bullfighter and the scatter is a bull on an orange background.

This is a five reel and 1024  fixed payline slot which means plenty of potential winning combinations.

Bonus Features

El Toro Bonus

To trigger the bonus game you will need to land three of the El Toro scatter symbols anywhere on the reels.  You will then be given a range of choices of free spins and multipliers from which you can pick as follows:

• five free spins with up to 20x multiplier
• ten free spins with up to 15x multiplier
• fifteen free spins with up to 10x multiplier
• twenty free spins with up to 5x multiplier
• thirty free spins with up to 3x multiplier

Check out the video below to see what sort of prize you can win with the fifteen free spins option.  While in the bonus game, spinning three more scatter symbols will win you more free games but this can only be re-triggered three times.

Verdict

While Pamplona may not be as graphically impressive as recent releases from some other companies, the bonus game makes up for any shortcomings along with the 1024 possible winning paylines.  There’s also some nice Spanish music to add to the atmosphere.
