Pragmatic Play – Black Bull – Free Slot Game

We weren’t too impressed with the previous and original release, Treasure Wild, but with Black Bull, returns to familiar territory. You get to a ranch in the North American desert, and the reels are filled with eagles, lizards, wolves, and of course, the black bull. The visual presentation is pleasantly retro, and we’ve seen similar things many times before.

However, the soundtrack stands out positively and completes the pure, unbridled Americana mood in an appealing way. This follow-up release is also all about the wild money symbol collection system, and wilds collect the accumulating cash pot in the bonus round. The highest win probability has increased significantly, but still does not exceed 4,500 times your bet.

Bonus Features at Black Bull Slot

The premium animal symbols pay between 4 and 25 times your bet for 5 matches, and the black bull is the symbol with the highest value. The money bag wild symbol not only substitutes for all regular payout symbols to complete wins, it also serves as a collector symbol in this game.

Money symbols (gold coins) land with values between 0.5 and 50 times your bet, but the cash prizes are only collected if there is also at least one Money Bag Wild. All cash prizes are collected from any visible wild, and wins from wild-only lines pay the same as the highest value black bull symbol.

The bonus round is triggered when you land 6 to 11 money symbols at the same time, and this awards 6 free spins. You can also get 8 or 10 free spins by landing 12 to 17 or 18 to 20 money symbols respectively. All triggering money symbol values are collected in the top right corner, and this becomes your starting value for the feature.

All money symbols that land during the bonus round are collected in the accumulator, and any wild collector symbol that appears collects the entire accumulated value as an assured win. You also win +2 additional free spins per 6 money symbols collected during the feature. UK players can buy the bonus round by paying 75 times the bet (RTP increases to 96.69%).

The 200 Spins Black Bull Slot Experience

You can watch the main game part of the video if you want, but nothing too exciting happened there. Skip to the 1:25 mark for the bonus round trigger, and we have 6 triggering money symbols. This gave us 7.5 times our bet on the cash pot accumulator to start with, and you can see for yourself how we fared by clicking the play button below.

Rating Conclusion

It’s no secret that Pragmatic Play does a good job of portraying the theme of North American animals, and Black Bull is no exception in this regard. It’s certainly more appealing than its predecessor Treasure Wild, not least because of its familiar graphics and solid soundtrack. Let’s just say that the viral potential of this release is much higher, although the gameplay is pretty much the same.

You’ll still mainly get boost wins from the money symbols in the base game, if even that, so pretty much everything depends on the bonus round to collect money. The 4,500x potential is the same as before, but it’s worth noting that the win cap probability has gone from 1 in 5,908,813 to 1 in 1,140,698. Considering this, there is no doubt which episode we prefer, even though the bonus round can often be frustrating when wilds are elusive.

Pros

You collect money symbols with Wilds
FS with collection pot
4,500x win cap (1 in 1,140,698)

Cons

One must pay attention to adjustable RTP ranges
