Slot Review: Matador

The sport of bullfighting is one of the most unique in the world. It is also among the most controversial. The drama of man versus beast, combined with the solemn traditions of the match and the cultural trappings all contribute to the prominence of tauromachy in Latin American culture. There are those who condemn bullfighting for the reason that they consider it to be inhumane, but even those bleeding hearts can enjoy the Matador online slot machine. Many of the common sights, objects, and events that are noticed within the bullfighting ring are present, so this is one pokey with a very strongly-supported theme!

Matador is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine title by PartyGaming. We have not reviewed very many PartyGaming slots, but we know that we like and respect the casino – so that bodes well! Coin values start at one cent and range up to fifty dollars. Max coins is set at twenty! We noticed right away that this amounts to a maximum per-spin wager of one thousand dollars. Of course, the jackpot is a whopping fifty thousand dollars on a max bet (and even more with bonuses), so if you are able to bet big on this game, you should definitely do so!

The matador himself is the wild symbol for this game, and can stand in for any other icon in a winning combination. The bullring is the scatter symbol. Get at least three of these to unlock a “pick-a-box” style bonus round. You will also see the fierce bull, the cape (muleta), the swords, the trumpet, and the red rose, among many other evocative images.
