Pokie Theme & Visuals
The setting is a Spanish bullfight with a flamenco edge. The Matador wears a blue wide-brimmed hat with gold trim and a red cape. He holds a rose between his teeth and carries a guitar on his back.
A flamenco dancer with a red fan and a rose in her hair fills the Wild tile. The mid symbols are Champagne Glasses, a Guitar, a lace-edged blue Fan and Maracas. A, K, Q and J card ranks fill the lower tier. The Rose scatter shows a single red bloom, the Double Rose shows two, and the Bull Shield is a gold crest with curved horns.
Bull Blitz Feature
Land 6 or more Bull Shields in one spin and the Bull Blitz Feature starts. Every remaining position turns into its own spinning reel, and 3 bonus games are awarded. Only Bull Shield, Silver Disc and Coin symbols are active on these reels.
Coins pay again every time a new Bull Shield lands, so a crowded grid returns its full value several times in one round.
- Reveal: each trigger Bull Shield changes into a Silver Disc showing the Mega Jackpot, Maxi Bonus, Major Bonus, Mini Bonus or a credit prize.
- Hold: Silver Discs and Coins stay in place for the rest of the feature.
- Respin counter: 1 or more new Bull Shields in a bonus game pay the total of all Coin prizes and reset the bonus games to 3.
- New discs: at the end of each bonus game, new Bull Shields become Silver Discs with a prize, unless all 15 positions are filled.
- No new Shields: if none land during the feature, the starting Silver Disc prizes change to Coins and pay at the end.
- End: the feature stops when the bonus games run out or all 15 positions hold a Bull Shield, Silver Disc or Coin.
Bull Blitz cannot be re-triggered inside Bull Blitz. The bet stays the same as the trigger spin, and the feature can also start during the Free Game Feature.
X-tra Hit Feature
X-tra Hit works only during Bull Blitz bonus games. Each X-tra Hit symbol that lands starts one X-tra Hit Feature, and a single bonus game can award several. While it runs, no reels spin and only Silver Discs and Coins are active.
When 2 or more Bull Shields appear, one becomes a Silver Disc and one becomes an X-tra Hit symbol. The rest are held, and each extra Bull Shield triggers its own X-tra Hit. Every X-tra Hit symbol pays all prizes on the Coin symbols.
At the end of the feature, the X-tra Hit symbol turns into a Silver Disc. It reveals the Mega Jackpot, a Maxi, Major or Mini Bonus, or a credit prize, unless all 15 positions are filled. The bet matches the trigger spin. The more Coins already held, the more each X-tra Hit pays.
Cash Horns Jackpot Tiers
Credit prizes, the Mini, Major and Maxi Bonus and the Mega Jackpot all appear on Silver Discs inside the Bull Blitz Feature. The Grand Jackpot never shows on a disc. It pays for filling all 15 positions, or at random at the end of any paid spin.
Fixed prizes are multiples of the line bet, and the lines are always 50.
Credit Prizes
Credit prizes on Silver Discs are worth 800, 500, 200, 100, 90, 75, 50 or 40 times the line bet. With 50 lines, that spans 0.8x to 16x the total bet.
These values pay out again through the Coin payouts on every new Bull Shield and every X-tra Hit.
Mini, Major & Maxi Bonus
The three bonus tiers are fixed multipliers of the line bet, and they scale with it.
| Tier | Value | At 50 lines |
|---|---|---|
| Mini Bonus | 1,000 × line bet | 20x total bet |
| Major Bonus | 5,000 × line bet | 100x total bet |
| Maxi Bonus | 10,000 × line bet | 200x total bet |
Up to 5 Maxi Bonus prizes can be awarded at one time during the Bull Blitz Feature.
Mega & Grand Jackpot
The Mega Jackpot is revealed on a Silver Disc and pays immediately. Its disc then drops to the lowest credit prize of 40x the line bet.
The Grand Jackpot pays when all 15 positions hold Silver Discs, Coins or Bull Shields at the end of a bonus game. It can also land at random at the end of any paid spin. Both the Grand and Mega values scale with the credits bet per line.
Free Game Feature
Three or more Rose scatters award 5 free games. The Rose lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4. A Double Rose on reel 4 counts as two Rose symbols.
During free games, the Wild appears only on reels 2 to 5 and covers every position on at least 2 reels in each spin. The possible full Wild reel sets are:
- Reels 2 and 4
- Reels 3 and 4
- Reels 4 and 5
- Reels 2, 3 and 4
- Reels 3, 4 and 5
- Reels 2, 3, 4 and 5
The feature cannot be re-triggered, and the scatter does not appear during free games. A different reel set is used, with the same bet and lines as the trigger spin. Bull Blitz can still start during the free games.

Cash Horns RTP & Volatility
The online version of the Cash Horns slot returns 96.5%. Volatility is Medium-High, with wins up to 5,000x.
Most of the big payouts come from Bull Blitz. A Maxi Bonus equals 200x the total bet at 50 lines, and up to 5 can land in one feature. Base game line wins top out with the Matador at 200x the line bet.
Plan the session by spin count. Multiply the line bet by 50 to get the total bet, then divide your balance by it to see how many spins that stake allows.

FAQ
You need 6 or more Bull Shields in one spin. The feature starts with 3 bonus games. Any bonus game that brings a new Bull Shield pays all Coin prizes and resets the counter to 3.
The Double Rose lands only on reel 4 and counts as two Rose symbols. Three or more Rose scatters award 5 free games.
At least 2 of reels 2 to 5 turn fully Wild in every free game. The six possible sets are 2+4, 3+4, 4+5, 2+3+4, 3+4+5 and 2+3+4+5.
The Grand pays when all 15 positions hold Silver Discs, Coins or Bull Shields at the end of a Bull Blitz bonus game. It can also be awarded at random at the end of any paid spin.
The reels stop spinning and every Coin on the grid pays out once for each X-tra Hit symbol. The symbol then becomes a Silver Disc with a new prize, unless all 15 positions are filled.
The online release returns 96.5%, and the land-based cabinet version has its own return setting. Volatility is Medium-High, and the maximum win is 5,000x.
