You know what surprised me about Black Horse? After throwing a few hundred spins at different bet levels, this slot isn't quite what I expected from Wazdan. I've been playing it pretty much non-stop for the last couple of weeks, testing everything from €0.20 bets to some bigger €100 spins, and I've got plenty to share about this equine-themed adventure.
Black Horse galloped onto the scene with its sleek, dark aesthetics and promise of wild wins. My first impression was that it looked slick, but I wondered if the gameplay would match up. After countless spins, I can say it's a mixed bag – there's definitely more under the hood than meets the eye.
The moment I loaded Black Horse, I was struck by its moody, almost mystical atmosphere. The reels are set against a misty forest backdrop, with a majestic black stallion occasionally galloping across the screen. It's visually striking, no doubt, but after a few hours of play, I found myself wishing for a bit more variety in the animations.
The theme execution is solid, with symbols that fit the equestrian motif well. I particularly liked the attention to detail on the horse-themed high-value symbols – you can almost feel the texture of the leather saddles and reins.
Black Horse plays on a standard 5x3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. Wins form from left to right, which is pretty standard stuff. What caught me off guard was the Collect feature – it took me a while to get used to, but once I did, it added an interesting layer to the gameplay.
I had a decent run hitting some 50x-100x wins during base gameplay, but the real excitement came from the special features. That said,
