Black Bull Slot Review

Black Bull Slot Overview

When I first loaded Black Bull I was dropped into a dusty stretch of the North American prairie. A 5 reel, 4 row grid sits in front of you with 20 fixed paylines. The slot comes from Pragmatic Play and runs on stakes from 0.20 to 100 per spin, so it covers casual play and higher rollers who want to push the game harder.

Black Bull uses high volatility maths and a default RTP of 96.51%, although the game also exists in 95.12% and 94.24% versions. On top of regular line wins, the slot revolves around money symbols, a money bag wild that collects their values, a free spins bonus where a cash pot grows, and a bonus buy option for players who prefer jumping straight into the feature.

How to Play Black Bull

Getting started with Black Bull is straightforward once you know where everything sits on the screen. The spin button is below the reels on the right, with autoplay just beneath it, and plus and minus buttons on either side to set your total bet. I usually nudge the stake up and down until it fits my session budget, then hit the spin button or set a short set of auto spins.

In Black Bull wins land when three or more matching symbols fall on one of the 20 fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. I always hit the information button before playing for real, just to skim the rules and paytable. The speaker icon lets you mute the soundtrack, and the autoplay menu has no built-in loss limit, so I keep an eye on my balance and stop it if a run goes cold.

Symbols and Payouts in Black Bull

The lower paying symbols in Black Bull are the card royals J, Q, K and A. You need at least three of a kind on a line from the left side to get paid, and a full line of five royals brings 2 times your bet. Hitting them will not change your bankroll much on their own, but they keep the reels ticking over between the bigger animal hits.

Above these, Black Bull uses a set of themed animals. Lizards and horned goats pay up to 4 times your stake for five of a kind, eagles come in at 7.5 times, wolves reach 10 times, and the black bull itself or a full line of wilds pays 25 times. The wild symbol is a bag packed with coins, and it can appear anywhere to stand in for regular pays.

The money symbol in Black Bull is a golden coin engraved with a bull's head, carrying a random prize from 0.5 to 50 times the total bet. When at least one wild lands with any money symbols, each wild collects the summed cash values. Those coins also act as scatters, with 6 to 11 awarding 6 free spins, 12 to 17 giving 8, and 18 to 20 triggering 10 free spins.

Bonus Features in Black Bull

In practice the bonus features in Black Bull all revolve around that money collection mechanic. In the base game, any time you land money symbols with at least one money bag wild, the wilds scoop up every visible coin value and pay the total. During free spins those coins first fill a meter, then each new wild pays out the full collected amount, with 2 extra spins awarded for every 6 coins that hit.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Black Bull

On the numbers side, Black Bull runs at a stated RTP of 96.51% on the standard setting, with high volatility. There are lower RTP models at 95.12% and 94.24%, so I always check the info screen before committing a serious bankroll. In my sessions the slot has played swingy, with stretches of dead spins broken up by sudden hits from a cluster of money symbols or a sharp free spins round.

The maximum win in Black Bull is capped at 4,500 times your bet, and hitting that will end the bonus round. At the top 100 stake that means a 450,000 payout, and the published probability of reaching the cap is around one in 1,140,698 spins. The best chance comes during free spins, when a large accumulated pot can be paid out multiple times if the wild symbols keep landing.

Graphics and Sound in Black Bull

Visually, Black Bull drops you into a dry, open stretch of American desert, with rocky ground, a wooden wheel and a well frame beside the reels. The animal symbols are clean and bold, and their small win animations give the grid a bit of life without getting in the way. For me the rock-infused Western soundtrack is the standout, adding energy that the slot loses as soon as you mute it.

Final Thoughts on Black Bull

After plenty of spins I see Black Bull as a solid North American wildlife slot built around that money collect system. The base game throws out lots of small top-ups when coins and wilds land together, and sometimes long spells of nothing. The real spark comes when you land enough coins to trigger free spins and watch the cash meter grow, hoping for a run of wild bags to land on cue.

The mix of high volatility, a 4,500x cap and frequent coin action makes Black Bull appealing when I am in the mood to chase a punchy bonus rather than grind steady wins. It can feel harsh when wilds refuse to show during the feature, but when they line up with a fat pot in the meter the slot delivers the kind of hit that keeps me coming back.
