Toro 7s slot design

This series started from Toro’s visit to Egypt in the Book of Toro and then Spain in Wild Toro and Wild Toro 2. Now, Toro is back into action and he’s heading to Las Vegas to visit The Meadows with the Matador. With a glimpse of the Las Vegas sunset in the background, you will notice a roller coaster and signs that show the Sevens.

Its visuals and animations are accompanied by a rock music soundtrack that is dominated by the bass and electric guitar sounds. These two main instruments are accompanied by upbeat drumbeats to keep the players’ energy high. Whether you are playing this slot on desktops, tablets, or mobile devices, its quality will remain the same regardless of the screen’s size. As part of ELK’s Classic Series, expect its reels to be filled with classic symbols.

Its least paying classic symbols include the Cherries, Orange, Plum, and BAR icons. While its highest paying symbols include green, blue, and red 7s icons. Since this is the final stop of the Wild Toro World Tour, the game will not be complete without the Wild symbols and the Scatter symbol.

Toro 7s features

Toro 7s is played on a grid with a classic style so you can expect its 3 reels and 3 rows set up. This game comes with 4 major features that feature Toro and the Matador. This slot is also packed with Respins and Bonus Spins that can also lead to Multipliers. From here, you can take advantage of the Lucky 7 feature and collect the required symbols to hit the maximum jackpot.

Nudging Wilds

Starting with the Nudging Wilds, Toro 7s features not just 1 but 2 Wild symbols. Both Wild symbols can replace all standard symbols except for the Bonus symbols on the reels to help you create more winning combinations. The Matador Wild symbol can appear on the second reel on any spin to activate the Nudging Respin feature. The Matador Wild rewards Respins and nudges down one step at a time on each Respin until he is out of the reels.

The Toro Multiplier can also appear on the third reel and activate the Nudging Respin feature just like the Matador Wild. Thus, Toro Multiplier Wild can also reward Respins and nudge down one step at a time until it is out of your sight. But unlike the first Wild symbol, this second Wild comes with an attached 5x Multiplier which makes it more valuable. But if you land both Wild symbols at the same time, the third reel with the Toro Wild will be locked.

At the same time, the Matador Wild symbol will award you Respins again and nudge down. Once the Matador symbol has moved off the reels, the third reel will be unlocked again. The Toro symbol on the third reel will also resume generating Respins after unlocking its reel.

Bonus Symbol

Before we head to the bonus round, let’s check out its Bonus symbol first which is featured as the Toro 7s icon. This Bonus symbol is also known as the Scatter symbol that can trigger the Bonus Spins round. But that’s not all since this special symbol also plays a key role for the Lucky 7s a feature so keep reading.

Bonus Spins

As mentioned above, you need the Bonus or Scatter symbol to trigger the Bonus Spins. You just need to land 3 of this Toro 7s Bonus symbol to get your 10 Bonus Spins. But since this is the bonus round, ELK Studios made it more fun by applying 5x Multiplier to all bonus wins.

Lucky 7s

Another feature that you can activate using the Bonus symbol is the Lucky 7s feature itself. You can trigger this bonus feature by landing 3 Toro 7s symbols during the Bonus Spins. Activating this feature will also give you additional 3 extra spins.

The goal of this feature is to collect 7s symbols that are color green on the first reel. You should also collect blue 7s symbols on the second reel and then red 7s symbols on the third reel. Once you create a winning line or land the required 7s symbol on the correct reel, your spins will become 3 again. This way, you can extend your game time and have more chances to create winning combinations.

You can collect a maximum of 5 symbols of each color in this feature. You will also get a reward based on the colored 7s symbol you collected once you run out of spins:

• Green 7s = collecting 1, 2, 3, or 4 green 7s will give you a prize that is worth 2x, 20x, 200x, or 1,500x your stake
• Blue 7s = collecting 1, 2, 3, or 4 blue 7s will give you a prize that is worth 5x, 50x, 500x, or 1,500x your stake
• Red 7s = collecting 1, 2, 3, or 4 red 7s will give you a reward that is worth 10x, 100x, 1,000x, or 2,500 your stake

In case you collected 5 matchings 7s with the same colors, your winning will reach the maximum reward in this game.

Toro 7s RTP, betting and prizes

Toro 7s is played with 17 pay lines wherein you can bet a minimum of £0.20 or up to a maximum of £100. You may check out the Coins icon on the left corner of the screen to see 12 available stakes you can choose from. In some territories, the Quick Play and AutoSpin may be displayed too as additional options for players who want a faster-paced.

Since Toro 7s is designed like a classic ELK Studios slot, players should take note that its math model has high volatility. This can be rated as 8 out of 10 on the volatility scale. Its RTP is also set at 95% which is pretty common among ELK games even though it is lower than the usual 96%. Its hit frequency on the other hand is set at 16.4% where players can hit a winning combination once in every 6 spins.

The players who can hit the maximum jackpot can take home a prize that is worth 10,000x their stake on each spin. Since this is a highly volatile slot, this can be worth up to £1,000,000 despite its low long-term RTP. Landing a winning combination here requires 3 matching symbols only on adjacent positions that are paid from left to right. As for its paying symbols, Toro 7s used the “old school” icons that include fruits and other classic symbols we’ve encountered ever since.

Its lower-paying symbols pay 0.50x to 2.50x the stake for landing 3 matching symbols. Its highest paying symbols on the other hand pay 3.50x to 10x the stake for landing 3 similar symbols on the same spin. As usual, its Wild symbols and Bonus symbol don’t have individual values but these special symbols can help you boost your winnings.

Conclusion

As the final and third installment in the Wild Toro series, ELK Studios did a good job of giving it a satisfying ending. Compared with the previous games in the series, Toro 7s has a smaller game area that emphasizes its classic vibes. It also has less Spanish touch compared with the previous games and its backdrop looks a bit out of place in Las Vegas. But this doesn’t stop ELK from adding more symbols and bonus features to bring more actions in the gameplay.

Thus, never underestimate its small grid because this is a game that is loaded with the fierce Matador and Toro. Aside from 2 Wild symbols that we love seeing in action, there are also Bonus symbols that can trigger more actions. Thus, its special symbols are indeed powerful enough to keep you spinning and aim for the maximum reward. Despite its very simple look, Toro 7s can keep you on the edge of your seat while playing its mix of features.
