Buffalo Toro

Buffalo Toro shows there's still no love lost between Toro and the Matador. This means hilarity ensues when the two characters hit at the same time, leading to the Toro Goes Wild features. Okay, it's not laugh-out-loud funny, the pair having duked it out for more than five years now, but their relationship continues to add personality to whatever game they appear in. And surprisingly, Buffalo Toro is the fourth time the two chaps have been brought together, cementing one of the more enduring relationships in slots. Opposites clearly attract and all that. So, aside from the humorous antics, what other attractions does Buffalo Toro possess? ELK has nailed the setting for one. Buffalo slots are a dime a dozen, but ELK's graphics and sound team have once again proven why this part of the world is like a magnet for developers and players alike. Get it right, as ELK has done here, and the North American landscape has a timeless mystique to it, a sort of nexus point between the physical world and a mystical realm. Keep your feet planted on earth, though, because Buffalo Toro also means business. For one, the RTP creep is real. Already, there were grumblings about ELK's goto 95% figure, so it'll be interesting to see how this new 94% value will be received. It might not be easy to tell the difference in practice when you're in the thick of the action, but the reduction does leave a sour taste and Buffalo Toro did prove to be a game that was hard to hit anything of real significance on after hours of testing. Is it enough to be a deal-breaker? Could well be, in particular for well educated hardcore gamers whilst recreation gamers might not be as bothered as they tend to focus more on the entertainment value. As mentioned, Buffalo Toro can be a hoot trying to crack. The symbol upgrade can work a real charm alongside those Rampaging Reels in an attempt to stack the grid with as many buffalo symbols as possible. It's tough to trigger naturally, however, since super scatter symbols only appear on the sixth reel. Buying it from the X-iter is another alternative, though it is pricey at 500x, not to mention challenging to recoup your outlay at times as well, a not uncommon ELK slots trait. Have you been on a commute to work in a crowded bus or train, and found a happy private mental place by blotting away the cramped conditions, pushing, shoving, passive-aggressive battles for a seat, and general irritation of being packed into a restrictive space, thereby making it possible to arrive at work, ready to bring it in the boardroom? Playing Buffalo Toro was kind of like that. If you can push the dismal brutality of the gameplay out of your consciousness, there's a rip-roaring buffalo-themed game here to enjoy.
