Wild Corida Slot – a Day in the Life of a Bullfighter
Expanse Studios’ slots have been jumping across themes with perfect results. You have the fun Piggy Party, adventurous Maya’s Treasure slot, or the fairy tale Fairy in Wonderland. This time, Expanse has decided to go to an uncharted territory with Wild Corida.
As the name suggests, it’s a slot centered around the ancient bullfighting tradition. While many find the sport cruel, it is still active in Spain, especially Seville where it was originally established. The ancient tradition is a pretty popular theme for slot developers, but Expanse’s latest release pushes things up a notch.
A game with 5 reels and 178 ways to win, the Wild Corida slot puts you in the shoes of a bullfighter for a day. It’s a perfect representation of the life inside the corrida and features Expanse’s trademark audiovisual elements. If that sounds nice to you, you’re welcome to try the Wild Corida slot for free or real money at Meridianbet casino.
New and Seasoned Bullfighters are Welcome
The slot is played on a 4×5 reel matrix and as mentioned, it has 178 ways of play. To form winning combinations, symbols on adjacent reels must touch each other along the corners or edges. In terms of graphics, Expanse Studios has done a great job with the Wild Corida slot machine. The cartoonish characters suit the slot nicely and are displayed in HD quality so no rough edges around them.
The audio suits the visuals perfectly, with Spanish flamenco music in the background spiced up with bull roars and crowd chants. To put it simply, the Wild Corida online slot will transport you to a real Seville corrida instantly.
Special Bullfighting Features
The Wild Corida slot may look like a simple slot machine at first glance, but can you truly judge a book by its cover? The slot comes packed with special features, each one featuring the fierce bull or fearless bullfighter.
One of the very first thing you will notice are the different wilds. The golden emblem bull substitutes for all symbols except for the bull wild and the scatter (bullfighter). In the base game, the wild is present on reels 2, 3, and 4 only. During the other special features, it can appear anywhere.
The other wild is the easily noticeable Wild Bull. This symbol substitutes for any other except the scatter and can also become a walking wild. It grants you respins anytime it lands on reel 5, with the wild bull moving a position to the left at the beginning of each spin.
Not all the features are bull-related. The bullfighter himself awards 3 respins when three appear in the corrida. If there’s also a wild bull on the reels, the Bull Goes Wild feature comes into play. At this point, the wild bull will attack the bullfighter (scatter) charging horizontally and vertically until it defeats all scatters. All hail the bull, right?
Whenever a bull wild charges at a scatter, its multiplier goes up by 1x. Wins are paid when there are no bullfighters left in sight and are multiplier by your currency multiplier value.
A Slot That’ll Make You Go OLE!
Expanse Studios’ latest slot may end up being its best release so far. It’s a slot that perfectly replicates the fun side of the corrida. While the base game is pretty basic, the slot’s special features are unbridled fun. The slot truly comes to life when the wild bull charges at the bullfighter, just like in a real corrida.
Play the Wild Corida slot at Meridianbet casino for free or real money. With a RTP of 96.30%, you can surely rack up some nice payouts.

VIRGIN BET AND PRESENTING STAR NATALIE PIKE BRING ‘WOMEN’S DAY’ TO DONCASTER RACECOURSE
Virgin Bet is excited to announce the second iteration of its ‘Women’s Day’ event, which will take place at the Virgin Bet November Handicap on Saturday, 9th November, at Doncaster Racecourse.
The day will serve as a platform to celebrate women in racing, making it the latest effort in Virgin Bet’s long line of social impact initiatives to help create a more inclusive environment.
Building on the success of the inaugural Women’s Day at Ayr Racecourse last season, this celebration aims to further highlight and honour the invaluable contributions of women in racing.
The event at Doncaster Racecourse is open to everyone, embodying Virgin Bet’s brand mission, ‘A Good Bet’. This campaign emphasises the brand’s dedication to breaking down pre-existing barriers within sports and culture at large.
As part of the day’s proceedings, in addition to enjoying Doncaster’s spectacular race offerings, attendees can attend two panels led by presenter Natalie Pike, with the first starting at 10:45 am in the Exhibition Hall. Combining celebration with insight, these discussions will encourage reflection and spark conversation, connecting racing fans with legendary women transforming horse racing while also addressing diversity in the sport.
Panellists will include:
Panel 1: Women of Horse Racing
- Sophie Green (Trainee Clerk of the Course, Southwell Racecourse)
- Charlotte Russel (General Manager, Go Racing In Yorkshire)
- Rachel Harwood (Executive Director, Doncaster Racecourse)
Panel 2: Creative Inclusivity in Racing
- Dawn Goodfellow (CEO, Racing Welfare)
- Emma Kay (Founder, WalkSafe)
Additionally, as part of Virgin Bet’s raceday sponsorship, a donation will be made to Racing Welfare. Their work ensures the well-being and success of British horseracing’s workforce. Virgin Bet’s support for Racing Welfare highlights the importance of giving back to the community that keeps the industry running.
The Virgin Bet November Handicap marks the beginning of Virgin Bet’s continued partnership with Arena Racing Company (ARC) for a series of key meetings throughout the 2024/25 season. This partnership extends to fellow LiveScore Group brand LiveScore Bet.
Virgin Bet’s Personal Safety Partner, WalkSafe, will also be integrated into the race day. Founded in 2020, WalkSafe was developed to give the public as much information about their surroundings as possible. The app, WalkSafe+, enables users to plan the safest route home, along with a host of additional features to help ensure a safer experience for all.
Racegoers will be able to learn more about the innovative and free-to-download app over the course of the raceday, and get the chance to speak with its founder, Emma Kay, who strives every day to educate and highlight the importance of safety in all walks of life. Emma will also feature on one of the panels, sharing her insights and experiences as part of the discussions.
This second iteration of Women’s Day, now making its debut at Doncaster, serves as a potential alternative to traditional Ladies’ Day. Virgin Bet, in partnership with Doncaster Racecourse, is proud to continue fostering a celebratory environment, reminding everyone that racing truly welcomes all.
Dominic Vye, Marketing Director, Virgin Bet, said:
“Horse racing owes much of its success to the incredible women who contribute so much behind the scenes, and it’s time we celebrate their achievements. At Virgin Bet, as part of our ‘A Good Bet’ brand campaign, we want to make sport more accessible and highlight brilliance, no matter who the subject is, and this initiative is doing exactly that.”
Presenter and ‘Women’s Day Sponsored by Virgin Bet’ collaborator, Natalie Pike, added:
“It’s been amazing to return and once again be part of this fantastic initiative with the teams at Virgin Bet and Doncaster Racecourse. I hope this year’s event will continue to inspire and uplift the incredible women in horse racing. Creating an inclusive and safe environment for everyone in the sport is so important, and I’m proud to help bring attention to that.”
Rachel Harwood, Executive Director of Doncaster Racecourse, continued:
“We are proud to celebrate Women’s Day here at Doncaster Racecourse. This initiative shines a spotlight on the essential role women play in our sport. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to remind everyone that racing is for everyone, and we hope all racegoers feel that sense of inclusivity and belonging.”
“We’re also delighted to have Virgin Bet’s Personal Safety Partner WalkSafe integrated as part of their sponsorships with us. The experience and safety for all spectators at our racecourses is a priority, so it’s fantastic to see this as part of Virgin Bet’s ‘A Good Bet’ initiatives, which aims to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all.”
