Black Bull is a high volatility 5x4 video slot by Pragmatic Play. This page covers its figures, rounds, payouts, bonus modes and the demo.
Choose Black Bull if you want a 5x4 video slot with animal and Western themes. The grid has 20 fixed paylines, and wins pay from left to right. A line pays with 3 matching symbols starting on the leftmost reel. The main mechanic is the Money Collection Feature in the base game. MONEY symbols carry a random value from 0.5x to 50x the total bet, and each WILD on screen collects them in full.
Pick Black Bull for its MONEY-triggered bonus round. Six or more MONEY symbols on screen start the Free Spins round. The round plays on night-desert reels. A progressive MONEY collector carries over and grows during the round, and each WILD awards its current value. Every 6 extra MONEY symbols add 2 spins. The round stops once the win reaches 4,500 times the bet.

Black Bull spins
Pelican Casino lays out each step here so you see the rules before you bet.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin, because every MONEY value and the 4500x cap depend on the total bet.
Each spin pays along the 20 fixed paylines from left to right, so every win starts on the leftmost reel. Three matching symbols in a row pay the paytable amount.
MONEY symbols in the base game carry a value from 0.5x to 50x the total bet, and every WILD on screen collects them in full.
Six or more MONEY symbols on screen start the free spins on night-desert reels. The MONEY collector carries over from the trigger spin and keeps growing.
Decide your loss limit and session length before the first spin, since the outcome of a session cannot be known in advance.
The price is 75 times the total bet, so at the top example bet of A$10 a purchase costs A$750.
| Feature | Total cost | RTP |

| Buy Free Spins | x75 · A$750 | – |
Pick your stake first, since the return to player is quoted per A$100 staked and scales down with a smaller bet. The return version this site runs is shown in the game rules.

By the end you will know how each bonus starts, how it runs and what it costs.
Wait for 6 or more MONEY symbols on screen to start the round: 6 spins for 6-11 MONEY, 8 for 12-17, 10 for 18-20. Or use BUY FREE SPINS at 75x total bet. The night-desert reels follow, and every 6 extra MONEY symbols add 2 spins.
Base gameFree spins
Pick a bet, then spin the 5 reels x 4 rows grid on 20 fixed paylines, which pay left to right. MONEY symbols carry a random value of 0.5x-50x total bet, and the Money Collection Feature is active here. Every WILD on screen collects the MONEY values in full.
Opening spinMoney Collection
You choose how much to stake per spin, but you cannot decide when the bonus comes. How often Black Bull triggers its free spins is not known in advance, and it is random. The result of one session is random too, whatever the RTP version in play. Two players with the same bet and the same number of spins can finish with very different totals.
You check the game rules before the first spin, because only there is the RTP version shown. The table above lists both versions, but the rules name the one in play on Pelican Casino. Check that line before you decide how much to deposit, because the two versions return slightly different shares of stakes.
You decide how far to chase the top prize only after reading it as a ceiling. The cap is set as a multiple of the bet, and a round ends the moment that cap is reached. Hitting it is very rare, and nobody can say when or whether a session will get close to it.

Black Bull FAQ
Pelican Casino states the rules and money figures before the first spin, so you decide with them.
Six or more MONEY symbols on screen start the Free Spins. Six to 11 MONEY symbols give 6 spins, 12 to 17 give 8 spins, and 18 to 20 give 10 spins. Free spins run on night-desert reels, with the progressive MONEY collector carried over from the trigger spin.
Black Bull runs in two RTP versions, 96.51% and 96.69%. RTP is the long-run return on total stakes, and it says nothing about one session. The volatility of this slot is high, so one session can end far from the RTP in either direction.
Black Bull can be played from A$0.20 a spin, so a first session can stay small. Use the lowest stake to learn the reels, the features and the pace before you raise the bet.
Black Bull is a high volatility game, so results swing widely from spin to spin. The top win is capped at 4,500 times the total bet, which is A$45,000 at A$10 a spin.
Buy Free Spins is available for 75 times the total bet, which is A$750 at A$10 a spin. The purchase starts the Free Spins round without waiting for six MONEY symbols.
