Volatility Modes

The game has two volatility options: daily (normal volatility) and nighttime (high volatility). You can change the volatility before a new game round using a special switch in the game. The volatility setting cannot be changed during the current game round. In the night mode, the Midnight Bullfight feature can be triggered during any initial spin in normal mode.

Game Rules

Wilds substitute for all symbols except Toro, Torito, Matador, and Golden Rose.

A payline consisting solely of Wilds pays the highest-paying symbol.

In the bonus mode, symbols appear on a grid of 5 columns and 7 rows. During the bonus mode, a 2×2 Togo symbol always appears on the grid. Only the Golden Rose, regular Matador, and Torito symbols appear in the bonus mode. Empty positions are indicated by symbols with small dots.

Togo is a moving Wild that can only appear on reel 5. Togo moves left until it leaves the first reel, awarding one re-spin for each move.

In normal mode, the Torito symbol lands with a x1 multiplier, increasing by 1 with each increment. Only one Torito symbol can appear on the reels.

Three different types of the Torito symbol can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. Each such symbol increases the height of the reels by one row (maximum: 7 rows).

The number of connected paylines increases with the number of rows.

• 4 rows: 178 connected paylines.
• 5 rows: 259 connected paylines.
• 6 rows: 340 connected paylines.
• 7 rows: 421 connected paylines.

Each Torito symbol becomes a Sticky Wild when it lands and awards one re-spin. Multiple Torito symbols landing simultaneously still award one re-spin. If a Walking Wild appears on the reels, re-spins are not awarded. Multiple Torito symbols can appear on the reels at once, but only one can appear on each reel. The blue Torito appears on reel 2.

• The green Torito appears on reel 3.
• The red Torito appears on reel 4.

When three Torito symbols appear simultaneously with the Togo symbol in regular mode, they have different functions.

• The blue Torito scatters Wild symbols across the reels during each spin as long as the Togo symbol is also present.
• The green Torito doubles the Togo multiplier during each spin as long as the Togo symbol is present on the reel.
• The red Torito adds the Togo multiplier to its own during each spin as long as the Togo symbol is present on the reel.

Three different types of Matador symbols can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.

All Matadors are walking Wilds that move left until they leave the first reel, awarding one re-spin for each move.

Landing a Togo symbol in the presence of one or more Matador symbols on the reels, or landing one or more Matador symbols in the presence of a Toro symbol, activates the Toro Goes Loco feature.

During the Toro Goes Loco feature, the Togo symbol attacks any Matador symbols on the reels. Togo moves vertically and then horizontally, knocking Matador symbols off the reels and leaving behind Wild symbols. Toro continues to attack until it defeats all Matador symbols.

Toro initially attacks Matador symbols on the same reel. Then, the symbol moves to the right if there are Matador symbols on the reel to its right. Finally, Toro attacks all Matador symbols to its left.

During the Toro Goes Loco feature, the three types of Matador symbols behave differently before Toro attacks.

A regular Matador (blue) remains in place until it is knocked off the reels.

The Cowardly Matador (green) flees from Togo before he attacks. If he lands to Togo’s left or on the same reel, he moves to the leftmost reel; otherwise, he moves to the rightmost reel.

The Brave Matador (red) leaves a Muleta underneath him before Togo attacks. The Muleta expands and covers all symbols beneath the Brave Matador, turning them into an expanded Wild with a multiplier.

In normal mode, only one Golden Rose symbol can appear on the playing field. When calculating wins, the Golden Rose symbol replaces the symbol with the highest payout (the red rose).

If both the Toro and Golden Rose symbols appear on the playing field, after all wins and other features are completed, the Toro symbol moves to the Golden Rose, triggering the Golden Rose bonus game.

Bonus Game

The Golden Rose Bonus Game is a special game mode with 5 columns and 7 rows, featuring only Golden Rose, Torito, and regular Matador symbols, with a 2×2 Toro symbol always present.

At the start of the Golden Rose y Toro Bonus Game, you have 3 lives. Each appearance consumes one life. The game continues until Toro runs out of lives.

If at least one Matador appears during a symbol appearance, Toro’s lives are restored to 3.

In bonus mode, Golden Rose symbols land with a specific value. In bonus mode, three Torito symbols have different functions.

A blue Torito symbol scatters additional Golden Rose symbols in empty spaces on the board and/or increases the current Golden Rose value. After this, the blue Torito symbol is removed from the board.

After this, a green Torito symbol doubles the value of existing Golden Rose symbols. After this, the green Torito symbol is removed from the board.

After this, the red Torito symbol is replaced by a Golden Rose symbol with the combined value of all existing Golden Roses.

Finally, Toro attacks all Matadors and knocks them off the board. The order of interaction with Matadors is the same as in normal mode.

Toro collects all Golden Roses along the way, adding their value to the win counter displayed on Toro.

Each Matador knocked out by the Togo symbol from the field adds one unit to the counter. Every 3 units doubles the global multiplier, starting at x1. After doubling the multiplier, the counter resets.

After knocking out all the Matadors, the Toro counter’s value is multiplied by the global multiplier and added to the total win counter. The Toro win counter then resets.

The Golden Rose bonus game ends when Toro runs out of lives, after which the game returns to normal mode.

The Golden Rose bonus game can be triggered multiple times per game round. Each subsequent Golden Rose bonus game begins with the global multiplier that ended the previous one.

During the Midnight Bullfight feature, the Toro, Matador, Torito, and Golden Rose symbols do not appear. During the Midnight Bullfight, Mulets can expand, covering up to 5 reels.

Mullets are expanded Wilds with a multiplier. The bonus game ends when there are no more bonus symbols or when the maximum win is reached.

Paylines

Payouts start from the leftmost reel and are paid from left to right on adjacent reels only. No gaps are allowed between reels. Only the longest winning combination is paid on each active line. The active payline is determined by the longest winning combination of symbols.
