Bull in a China Shop Slot Review

Introduction to Bull in a China Shop - Bull in a China Shop

I came to Bull in a China Shop from Play'n GO already knowing the phrase, so seeing it turned into a literal slot made me smile straight away. You get a quaint Chinese porcelain shop, an anxious granny, and a rowdy bull that brings chaos and wins in equal measure. The tone stays light and humorous, with Pixar style visuals and a medium volatility setup that suits casual sessions as well as more focused grinding.

Theme, Gameplay & Payouts - Bull in a China Shop

On the mechanical side Bull in a China Shop uses 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines, a classic Play'n GO format that feels very natural to spin. Stakes range from 0.10 up to 100 per spin, covering low stakes grinders and high rollers. The default RTP sits at 96.20 percent, though casinos can pick lower profiles such as 94.20 or even 84.20, so I always check the help files first.

The paytable fits the theme nicely. Low pays are suits, clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades decorated with Ming style patterns, worth about 1x to 1.5x the bet for five of a kind. High pays are all the fragile wares, a green pot, purple teapot, blue vase, orange vase and the granny herself, paying 5x up to 25x. A framed bull portrait acts as the standard Wild, with a golden bull statue as Scatter.

Special Features & Slot Mechanics - Bull in a China Shop

In Bull in a China Shop the whole game revolves around that unpredictable bull and the way his moods shape each spin. He rocks up as a Wild symbol that not only substitutes but also switches between three modifiers, then those same moods carry through into the bonus round where you pick your preferred style. Thanks to the medium volatility, wins feel fairly balanced, yet the slot still holds a max win of 5,800x.

The base game never feels dead because any Wild appearance can change a quiet spin into a crash, bang, wallop moment. The soundtrack has that Tom and Jerry style light-hearted suspense, so you are always waiting for the charge. I have played Bull in a China Shop on both desktop and mobile, and the simple 20 line layout keeps the action readable even when features overlap.

Wild - Bull in a China Shop

When the bull lands as a Wild in Bull in a China Shop you get one of three effects, and this is where the slot really clicks for me. A Happy Bull creates 2 to 6 single Wilds in random spots, the Proud Bull turns 1 to 5 reels fully wild, while the Angry Bull drops 2 to 6 Wilds with x2 multipliers, which apply separately rather than compounding on the same payline.

Free Spins - Bull in a China Shop

Free spins in Bull in a China Shop start when three golden bull statues land together on reels 1, 3 and 5, awarding 10 spins. You then pick between Happy, Proud or Angry Free Spins, each carrying one of the bull’s features from the base game. In Happy mode each Wild increases the number of random Wilds from 2 up to 14, Proud mode focuses on 1 to 5 stacked Wild reels, and Angry mode adds 2 to 14 multiplier Wilds worth up to x10.

You can retrigger the bonus once by hitting three Scatters again, taking the total up to 20 spins before Scatters disappear. I like how each mode changes the tempo, with Happy feeling quite steady, Proud creating those big one-spin swings, and Angry turning every Wild into a high tension moment. Whichever you choose, the link back to the bull’s mood keeps the whole feature set very coherent.

Final Thoughts on Bull in a China Shop - Bull in a China Shop

Final Thoughts on Bull in a China Shop for me start with how well Play'n GO handled the phrase itself. Rather than something gloomy, the studio went for a fun, casual setup, where smashing porcelain is good news. The visuals and symbols capture that fragile merchandise in a tasteful way, while the old granny adds character. It all feels bright and approachable without tipping over into slapstick, so longer sessions never feel tiring.

Mechanically, Bull in a China Shop is not the most complex Play'n GO slot I have spun, yet it feels very comfortable to play. Wild modifiers are familiar territory, so even new players pick them up straight away, while more experienced grinders can focus on how the three moods affect the bonus. All three options can pay, and the 5,800x cap gives enough headroom for those chasing larger wins.

Medium volatility is a deliberate choice here, and you feel that in the hit pattern, with regular small to mid-sized pays punctuated by the odd screen full of Wilds. For friends who find extreme high variance titles too punishing, I often point them towards Bull in a China Shop as a safer yet still lively alternative. It looks good, plays smoothly and has just enough bite to keep seasoned players engaged.
