Touro Sortudo

Touro Sortudo Review

A new month, a new game by the renowned and highly productive software developer Fat Panda and Pragmatic Play. Well, Touro Sortudo might not be the first title for February, but it's still fresh and hot, so let's check it out! The Bull goes to China, just like the Tiger and the Rat before that. The provider continues with its Portuguese names, and hopefully, there is more than just a simple meaning.

In October 2024, Fat Panda came with Tigre Sortudo, a 3x3, 5-line spinner with simple yet attractive features. In December, just before Christmas, the studio elevated its new project, moving it in the mobile-optimized dimension and packing it with a 3-4-3 board with 10 lines and the "memorable" name Ratinho Sortudo.

Touro Sortudo is the 3rd installment, and we continue to see improvements, this time mainly in the feature pack. But, first thing first! It's a mobile-first slot with 3 reels, 10 lines, and 3-4-3 row configuration. Symbols pay from the leftmost reel to the right for 3 of a kind. Fat Panda has added all of its usual tools - Autoplay, Quickspin, Turbo Spin, and various sound and Battery Saver settings.

The Touro Sortudo slot is the first title in the series with a jackpot, which is guaranteed to drop under certain conditions. There is a more complex minigame in comparison to the 2024 prequels and Bonus symbols that can trigger it and pay independently at the same time. Bonus Buy and Ante Bet are still not part of the package!

Touro Sortudo Slot - Game Screen

Touro Sortudo features 6 regular symbols and a wild that substitutes for all of them and pays the juiciest reward when lined up - 20x the bet. Golden Bull pays 10x, Treasure Chest - 5x, Chinese Coins - 1x, Scroll - 0.50x, Orange - 0.30x, and Firecrackers award 0.20x the bet.

The Touro Sortudo RTP ranges, but reaches a truly brilliant 97.55%, especially given the features medium levels of volatility. This is a rare view in a modern slot released by one of the leading studios. The alternative RTP rates are also acceptable - 96.55% and 95.55%, although you should go for the most generous variant!

Sadly, there is no information about the slot's Hit Frequency rate, but after testing the game, I can say that it's high enough. The maximum win is twice as high compared to Tiger Sortudo and 5 times higher than Ratinho Sortudo - 5,000x the stake. That's a solid improvement by the provider, and it has kept the wide betting range, too - €0.10 up to €250 per spin.

Touro Sortudo Features

Touro Sortudo continues to fit a slot category that aims to attract players mainly looking to have fun. It lacks complex gameplay and bonus features, although a full-body minigame is available this time. Hopefully, we'll see more advanced upgrades in the future installments of this series!

Money Symbol Prizes

Coins are Money Symbols, and a random number of them may land anywhere on the grid on any spin. Each one has a cash value, which is a bet multiplier - 0.50x, 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, and 100x. If you land 5 or more of these bonus symbols during the base game, the combination of their values will be instantly paid out.

Hold & Spin Bonus

The Hold & Spin feature does not require a certain combination of scatters or bonus symbols, but it may activate randomly on any spin. Money Symbols, if any, will be locked in their positions, while the regular symbols will fade away and disappear. Players will be awarded 3 respins, as usual.

Any new bonus symbol that lands will reset the counter back to 3, and the bonus will end with 0 remaining respins or a grid filled with cash values. If it is the second, to the total sum will be added a fixed jackpot, Grand Jackpot, of 2,000x the bet. Collect Money may also land on any respin, and if so, it'll collect all Money values in view and lock on its position. The Coins that have given their prizes will be removed to open new spaces for potential hits.

Theme & Graphics

Touro Sortudo is an online slot with an Asian theme presenting the Bull as an important symbol in Chinese culture. It is usually connected with perseverance, wealth, and diligence, but the provider has added "luck" to the equation, too, as this is, after all, a gambling game.

The selection of the game's name is interesting, as it is in Portuguese and means "Bull of Luck". That suggests a game inspired by Bullfighting, a tradition in Portugal and part of the nation's culture. Well, a few spins will quickly convince you that there is nothing related to this sport or show, depending on the point of view.

As I already mentioned, Touro Sortudo is a mobile slot with a primary design crafted to fit smartphones or tablets. It's playable on desktop devices, too, due to the HTML5 optimization, but the experience might not be that convenient. This is another aspect of the slot worth underlining since Fat Panda does not have many mobile-first slots in its library.

I'm confident that the decision is related to the selected theme and aims to challenge providers like Fa Chai Gaming and PG Soft. If you are curious, you can check their Fortune series. Overall, Touro Sortudo features first-class graphics and animation effects, as well as relaxing Asian sounds and classic tunes.

Pros And Cons Of Touro Sortudo Slot

Our Verdict

Pragmatic Play has several slots featuring Bulls and medium levels of volatility. Raging Bull from 2021 and Bull Fiesta from 2022 are good examples of excellent games with high RTP rates and creative bonuses, at least for their time. Touro Sortudo is something else, much more alike the mobile slots by the already mentioned PG Soft and Fa Chai Gaming.

Fortune Ox has the same layout and payout mechanic and boasts a high RTP rate and medium volatility. Fortune Rabbit covers the same points and comes with a 5,000x max win like Touro Sortudo. Fortune Snake raises the stakes by offering all that and lowering the levels of volatility to accommodate players with less experience.

All of them and those launched by Fat Panda in this category, so far, come with different features, light and creative. In fact, that is one of the main advantages of those types of mobile slots. Touro Sortudo offers an exciting overall experience, although most of the features feel overused.

This is a new industry horizontal for the provider, and I'm confident that powerful improvements will be made soon. The high RTP rate and detailed betting range are good prerequisites for players to apply strategies. However, I remain cautious in my recommendations and suggest starting with the free Touro Sortudo demo first!
