ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE ONLINE SLOT REVIEW

Paylines: 243

Reels: 5

RTP: 96.18%

The year was 1995 and it was then when Jim Carrey broke out for his star turn when he played the lead role in an extraordinary movie called Ace Venture: Pet Detective. The eponymous character investigates a strange case of a missing dolphin and this is the backdrop of an online video slot of the same name that is developed by Playtech.

Ace Venture: Pet Detective is a five-reel slot that has three rows and 243 ways to win. Those reels beam of a vibrant medley of colors on a plain blue backdrop and there’s also some cheerful background music to keep things going.

However, before you can go on your wild goose (or in this case, dolphin) chase, you are advised to set your bets. With "Coin Value," you will regulate coins size, which ranges from 0.01 to 0.40. "Auto Spins" option is there to spin the reels automatically without interruption for a chosen number of times, and "Spin" will set the reels in motion once, after you choose your betting range. "Turbo Mode" will speed up the reels.

As mentioned, this slot game comes from the weird and zany world of Carrey, who played the role to comedic perfection. You’ll come across some of the more recognizable scenes from the film on your reels, as well as plenty of other goodies.

The great news is that Ace Ventura comes with Playtech’s superb 243 ways to win technology, so each spin gives punters a fair amount of opportunities to win. Once you acquaint yourself with the paytable, you will soon be cheering on the reels to deliver the goods.

The game is of the familiar five-reel design, although this proven format is brought to life by the vibrant colorway and hilarious graphics that help this game stand out.

Indeed, there are a number of wacky animations that come to life when specific features are triggered. The soundtrack is pleasant enough and actually adds to the experience rather than steer far from it, which at times be the case with other titles. The occasional stabs of dialogue taken straight from the movie will please players even more.

When all is said and done, it really doesn’t matter whether you have seen the movie or not. There is a lot to like in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

The six high-value symbols are all different views of Ace – on a marshal’s badge, on a motorbike with a monkey, with a mouth full of asparagus, with a pink ruff, in a Land Rover, and in a cabriolet. The lower-values are the usual J, Q, K and A.

The wild symbol is Ace wielding his business card and it will substitute for all others except the bonus symbol and the animal modifier cards. The bonus is marked by a Rhinoceros with a pair of legs sticking out of its backside.

BONUS ROUNDS

Ace Wild Features

These three extras happen in the base game and they work like this:

• Jungle Friends = Ace will appear on the reels and summon lots of animals, turning a number of symbols wild in the process.
• Sneaky Walk = Ace will do a funny walk across the reels and add entire stacks of wilds to the reels.
• Loser = Ace will re-spin a non-winning spin and increase the multiplier until you land a win.

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three of the bonus symbols anywhere on reels one, three and five. You will next receive seven free spins with two animal modifier features added to the mix. Animal modifiers are six cards available to collect on reel five during the base game. You can have a maximum of three and adding a new one will knock one of the others off.

They have the following qualities:

• Shark = adds more free spins
• Elephant = creates an extra row to give 1,024 ways to win
• Gorilla = upgrades a symbol of your choice to the most valuable one
• Bat = adds random wilds to the reels
• Pigeon = adds a wild multiplier to reel three
• Dolphin = multiplies wins by a mystery amount
