Toro Shogun sends the bull to feudal Japan. Same core: Toro walks left as a Wild, Matadors block and trigger respins, Toro Goes Wild charges through Matadors leaving Wilds behind. But the surrounding systems have been rebuilt. The grid expands from 5x4 to 10 rows per column during avalanche cascades. Each column grows independently based on how many symbols were removed, creating uneven terrain.
When a winning combination connects both the leftmost and rightmost reels, Both Ways activates for the rest of the game round. All 664 connecting paylines now pay from both directions - 1,328 total. It's a permanent upgrade once triggered, and on an expanding grid, the number of potential connections increases with every new row.
Push all five columns to 10 rows and Shogun Mode activates. The three lowest-paying symbols are stripped from the reels entirely. Every position now holds premium or mid-tier symbols. Shogun Mode plus Both Ways on a full 10-row grid is the peak configuration - maximum paylines with maximum symbol value.
Avalanche wins generate Shogun Wilds: for each winning group, a reel is selected and wilds fill the empty positions within that group. This creates vertical wild stacks that carry over into subsequent avalanche steps. Combined with Toro's Walking Wild trail, the grid accumulates wilds rapidly during extended chains.
The bonus awards 7 free spins with a Bonus Multiplier starting at x1. Each bonus symbol landing during free spins adds +1 to the multiplier. Three bonus symbols retrigger for +7 more spins. The multiplier applies to all current and subsequent wins - a late-session retrigger with an already-high multiplier is where 25,000x becomes reachable. Shogun Bonus triggers if 3 bonus symbols appear while Shogun Mode is active. X-iter tops out at 500x for guaranteed Shogun Bonus with Both Ways. RTP: 94.0%.
