El Torero with all ten paylines shown over the reels

The routine in four steps

  1. 1

    Choose your lines

    LINIEN WÄHLEN sets how many of the ten paylines are active, from 1 to 10. Wins count only on active lines, starting at reel 1 and running right.

  2. 2

    Set the stake per line

    EINSATZ PRO LINIE WÄHLEN sets the amount per line, from 0.01. Your total stake is the line bet times the number of lines and appears bottom right as EINSATZ.

  3. 3

    Spin and read the paytable

    When the reels stop, the game checks every active line. The paytable, opened from the menu, lists the pay for 2, 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols.

  4. 4

    Bonus and gamble

    Three bulls on reels 1, 3 and 5 start 10 free spins. After a win the gamble offer appears, and you can pass on it.

Your first spin

  1. Open the game: in the demo with play money, or at our partner with your balance.

Which choices really matter is covered on the strategy tips.

Reading ten lines

El Torero with ten paylines in different colours drawn over the reels
The ten lines run straight and in zigzags across all five reels.

The lines sit in fixed positions and are numbered at both sides. Some run straight along a row, others form a V or a wave. A win counts only when the matching symbols start on reel 1 and continue without a gap to the right. The Torero helps as a wild.

Paytable and symbols

El Torero paytable with pays for Torero, Señorita, hat, guitar, rose and card symbols
The in-game paytable counts in credits, here at 200 per line.

The Torero leads the list, followed by the Señorita with her fan. Hat, guitar and rose share one panel with identical pays, and the card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10 form the lower end. The table above converts the game’s numbers into multiples of the line bet. That way it holds for every stake.

Free spins and gamble

The bull pays nothing in the table because its job is to trigger the free spins. Three bulls on reels 1, 3 and 5 award 10 free spins, in which the Torero stays on screen for the remaining spins. The features page covers the rest.

After a win the Card Gamble and the Risk Ladder are available. In the Card Gamble you guess red or black and double the win on a hit. On the Risk Ladder you climb a rung or drop to a lower field. Part collect books a share of your win and risks the rest.

Your way into the game

Once the routine feels familiar, you can start with real money at our partner. Reach the game through the partner app, the download page, the APK for Android or the iOS version. Set a budget and a time limit first.

Next step: open the app and start El Torero.
