Blazing Bull Demo by Kalamba Games

Blazing Bull splash screen with a flaming bull head under the wooden logo sign at night
Flames ring the glowing-eyed bull’s head under the wooden BLAZING BULL sign, between the STACKED SYMBOLS! card, with its column of flaming bulls, and the PROGRESSIVE FREE SPINS! card, with a gold coin meter marked x3 WILD.

Two coin meters hang over the Blazing Bull slot before a single reel turns, gold on the left and silver on the right. Each one counts paid spins. The gold meter sets how many Gold Free Spins the next round starts with, from 9 up to a maximum of 30, and the silver one does the same for Silver Free Spins, from 7 up to 20. Below them, Kalamba lays out a 6×4 grid that pays 4096 ways.

Silver and Gold Free Spins

Two Coin Meters

Blazing Bull reels with the Gold meter at 21 free spins and the Silver meter at 12
Vines wrap the meter panel, its gold coin side reading FREE SPINS 21 x3 WILD and its silver side x2 WILD 12 FREE SPINS, above seven flaming bulls stacked on reels 2, 4, and 5.

Both meters are mounted in a vine-wrapped plank panel above the reels, with the logo between them and a progress arc curving around each coin. Silver BONUS and Gold BONUS coins can land on all six reels during regular spins. Three or more Silver coins in any position start Silver Free Spins, played with x2 WILD symbols, and three or more Gold coins start Gold Free Spins with x3 WILD symbols. The round starts with whatever its meter shows at that moment, and then that meter drops back to its reset value, 7 for Silver or 9 for Gold.

The two climb at different speeds. Silver adds one starting spin for every 15 paid spins, from 7 to a maximum of 20. Gold adds one for every 33 paid spins, from 9 to a maximum of 30. Once a meter reaches its maximum, it stops adding. During either round, two or more BONUS coins hand out extra spins, from +2 for two up to +15 for six, and from three upward they also pay the same multiples as outside the round.

Meters Left Alone

A natural trigger spends the matching meter, which falls back to 7 or 9. A HyperBonus package brings its own spin count instead, set by the card you pick.

Play one, and the meters keep whatever counts they’ve built, because a HyperBonus resets neither of them.

Double and Triple Wilds

The dreamcatcher WILD, gold-rimmed with red, orange, and yellow feathers, appears on reels 2 to 5 outside free spins. It replaces any symbol except a BONUS coin or the x2 and x3 Wilds, counting as 1 matching symbol in a win. Flaming bulls land in stacks, so a Wild beside a column of bulls can stretch a bull win across the reels.

Free spins swap in stronger versions on the same four reels. Silver Free Spins use the silver-blue x2 WILD, and Gold Free Spins use the gold x3 WILD. Neither stands in for a BONUS coin or for the other. An x2 WILD counts as 2 matching symbols in its column and an x3 WILD as 3, so in Gold Free Spins, one Wild on reel 3 counts like three matching symbols stacked there.

HyperBonus

Four Fixed Packages

Four cards fill the HyperBonus panel, red 20 and gold 12 FREE SPINS with X3 MULTIPLIER WILDS, then green 15 and blue 7 with X2, priced at 105x, 63.17x, 43.58x, and 20.37x the bet.

HyperBonus offers four packages, and each starts a free-spins round straight away at the stake already showing before you pick, with its pays following that stake. The cheapest, 7 FREE SPINS X2 MULTIPLIER WILDS, costs 20.37x and plays as Silver Free Spins. The second Silver package raises the count to 15 spins for 43.58x. The Gold side opens at 12 spins with x3 Wilds for 63.17x, and the largest package, 20 FREE SPINS X3 MULTIPLIER WILDS, costs 105x. So, 15 Silver spins cost less than 12 Gold ones.

How to Play

4096 Ways from Reel 1

Blazing Bull pays a symbol that shows on consecutive columns from reel 1, in any of the four rows, and each extra copy of it within one column adds ways to the win. Six reels of four rows give the 4096 ways, and all of them are in play on each spin, with no line count to choose.

The game pays each symbol once, for its greatest run of matching columns, and adds wins on different symbols together. Stacks help in a ways game, and a column of three flaming bulls next to a bull on reel 1 is a bull win already, with more bulls further along lengthening it.

The Silver and Gold BONUS coins follow a different rule. They pay in any position, from 2x for three up to 50x for six, and the main-game WILD never stands in for them.

Slot RTP

Free play in the demo uses Kalamba’s bet ladder, which starts at a first rung of €0.60 and ends at a top rung of €90. On the standard reels, the RTP is 97.42%. The four HyperBonus packages return 97.61% to 98.04%, and the table below gives each pay per way, in times the total stake you choose.

Blazing Bull Payouts

Animals pay from two of a kind and the riveted letters from three. Bear and eagle have identical pays, and the wolf pays exactly what the cougar does, from 0.17x for two up to 3.33x for six. Six BONUS coins pay 50x, the largest figure in the table, against 5x per way for six flaming bulls.

Ultimate Slots Verdict

Two meters define Blazing Bull.

They bank starting free spins as the main game goes on, up to a maximum of 20 Silver or 30 Gold, and a HyperBonus package leaves both meters untouched. The regular pays are modest, with a 5x top ways pay, but a high base return and four packages priced from 20.37x keep the generosity running, and it earns 4.2 out of 5 in this review.

Hits What we like

  • Six BONUS coins worth 50x on regular spins and in free spins
  • Animals paying from two of a kind

Misses What could be better

  • One extra Gold spin per 33 paid spins

Detailed Review

Gameplay Breakdown

The splash is a night scene, a flaming bull glaring out from under a wooden sign beneath a starry sky, and the game loads into daylight with its two coin meters already counting. Those meters make Blazing Bull Kalamba at its most generous, because the free spins grow while the main game goes on.

The buy menu keeps that generosity intact. A natural trigger spends a meter and drops it back to 7 or 9, while a HyperBonus package leaves both counts standing, so buying a round never undoes what the main game has banked. Kalamba shipped this design in April 2020, and the trade still holds up, since a bought round has a fixed price and the bank stays where it was.

Regular Play

Regular pays are modest. Six flaming bulls return 5x per way, and the letters stop at 2x, so most of the appeal is in the two rounds. Kalamba scores its volatility at 10 out of 10, and Gold, the stronger round, gains one spin per 33 paid spins, a slow climb next to Silver’s 15. Those are real costs, and none of them outweighs a high return paired with free spins that build while you play.

Kalamba kept the series going with Blazing Bull 2 and, later, a Remastered edition. Whatever those add, this game’s pair of meters and the buy that leaves them alone are the idea its sequels have to answer to.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Buying a package resets neither the Silver nor the Gold meter, so both keep the starting spins they've built, while a natural trigger sends its own meter back to 7 or 9.
Three or more Silver BONUS coins in any position on a regular spin start Silver Free Spins with x2 Wilds, and three or more Gold coins start Gold Free Spins with x3 Wilds. Each round begins with the count its meter shows at the time, 7 to 20 for Silver and 9 to 30 for Gold.
Silver reaches a maximum of 20 starting spins, gaining one per 15 paid spins from 7. Gold reaches 30, gaining one per 33 paid spins from 9, and neither climbs past its maximum.
Three matching symbols in the column it lands in. Blazing Bull's x3 Wild lands only on reels 2 to 5 during Gold Free Spins, and the x2 Wild in Silver Free Spins counts as two.
No. It's a separate, later Kalamba release, and the game reviewed here is the original.
Kalamba puts the top win at 6,480x the bet, far above the 50x that six BONUS coins pay on their own.
