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.

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
