Book of Toro Slot Review

Book of Toro Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Book of Toro slot is made up of 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. Using a classic ‘Book of’ mechanic, winning combinations are created when 3 or more matching symbols appear from left to right across any of the 10 paylines. For the 4 highest value symbols, you only need 2 in combination.

Stakes vary between 20p and £100 a spin as usual for an ELK Studios slot game. There’s a Coins icon in the bottom left-hand corner which, when clicked on, displays all available bet levels. You will also find an Auto Spin function in some countries (not the UK from November 2021).

As usual, the Book of Toro RTP is 95% which is below the 96% slots average. It comes with a 23% hit frequency rate meaning a win will land every 4/5 spins on average.

Variance wise, it’s medium to high and ranked as 7/10 by ELK Studios. However, big wins are possible with a maximum of 10,000 x your total stake available to be won from each spin.

Theme – the Toro and Matador travel to Egypt on a chaotic quest

Following on from Wild Toro 2, the Book of Toro slot has an ancient Egyptian theme. The story goes that Toro and Matador are on a chaotic quest to prevent the Matador Diaz Junior’s ancestor, the evil Captain Diaz, from finding the Book of Toro and raiding the inner chambers of ABU Simbel temple in Egypt.

With cartoon style graphics, it has the same look and feel as previous Toro slots. The soundtrack has a traditional feel but it quite upbeat.

Symbols on the reels including A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Then you will find scarab beetles, Horus falcons, the Eye of Ra and Matador. The Matador is the highest value symbol giving you 1, 10, 50 or 250 x stake for 2, 3, 4 or 5 on any payline.

The Toro is the wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols. It acts as a Walking Wild that gives you respins as he moves. You will also see a Toro wild scatter symbol which is sticky during the Toro Goes Wild feature. Finally, there is a Mummy symbol (more on this below). Here’s a table showing all symbols and their payouts/functions:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
10	3, 4 or 5 = 0.75, 2.5 or 5 x stake

Book of Toro Mobile

With mobile users at the forefront of ELK Studios’ strategy, Book of Toro was produced using HTML5 technology. This means it can be played on mobile, tablet and desktop devices (including laptops and PCs). If you’re a mobile slots player, ELK Studios slots are some of the best available online.

Book of Toro Bonus Features

Book of Toro has 4 bonus features. With mummy and Toro respins, there are free spins with an expansion symbol. You can also retrigger for more free spins an extra expansion symbol.

Mummy Respin feature

The Mummy Respin feature is activated when 2 or more mummy symbols appear on the reels. The mummy symbols lock in position and become sticky during the subsequent respin. More mummy symbols landing give you extra respins with a Toro landing triggering the Toro Goes Wild feature.

Toro Goes Wild feature

The Toro symbol is a Walking Wild that, when appearing on reel 5, triggers the Toro Goes Wild feature. With respins awarded, Toro moves leftwards and leaves wild symbols behind as he knocks off and defeats mummies. When Toro is in view, all book symbols are sticky. You will get 1 respin for each step left meaning 5 respins in total.

Free Spins Bonus feature

The Free Spins Bonus feature is played when landing 3 or more Book scatters anywhere on the reels. 3, 4 or 5 scatters will give you 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. A symbol is then randomly chosen to become the expansion symbol. This can be any high, medium or low value symbol. The symbol expansion will occur when:

• 2 high value symbols appear
• 2 medium value symbols appear
• 3 low value symbols appear

Finally, you can retrigger the feature which will reward you with more free spins as well as an extra expansion symbol. This means 40 free spins with 2 expansion symbols.

X-iter feature

In some countries, not the UK though, there’s an X-iter feature. There are 5 different game modes, like Bonus Buy options, ranging from 5 to 500 x your total stake. Each offering something different, here’s what they offer:

Book of Toro Review Summary – classic ‘Book of’ slot with Toro favourites   

The Book of Toro slot stays true to its predecessors (Wild Toro and Wild Toro 2) with walking wilds and respins. They’ve added free spins with expanding symbols which you’d expect. With high value symbols, big wins can land in the base game as well as the free spins.

To win big though, a high value expansion symbol is needed. Landing Captain Diaz is the desired outcome with a screen full of him resulting in a big payout. 2,500 x stake is the most that can be won on any spin, respin or free spin.

Whilst I think Wild Toro 2 is a better game, Book of Toro is exactly what you’d think a Book of/Toro inspired game should be. Maybe adding the Expanding Reels feature would have been a nice touch perhaps.

Whilst Book of Toro is decent, ELK Studios could have done more. If you take Book of Duat from Quickspin, they added a pick and click element to the free spins.

Nolimit City also allow you to play with 10, 15 or 20 paylines in Book of Shadows which affects your win potential. At most, the max win is 30,338 x stake which is more than treble of that on offer in Book of Toro.
