Ace Ventura Pet Detective review

Theme and Style

Ace Ventura Pet Detective is a movie-themed slot designed and developed by Atlantic Digital. The slot is based on the popular 1990s movies of the same name.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Atlantic Digital has clearly sought permission to use the Ace Ventura Pet Detective intellectual property, with fans of the movie being treated to a huge blast from the past when they load the game.

The reels are set in front of a popular location from the movie, while the symbols consist of Jim Carrey, the actor who played Ace Ventura Pet Detective, in various situations. Other popular items from the movie make an appearance as the remaining higher-paying symbols.

Ace Ventura Pet Detective is brought to life with some hilarious animations and film sequences, while an upbeat soundtrack and sound effects from the movie help keep the tempo high.

Gameplay

Ace Ventura might be a whacky guy, but there is nothing wild about the base game action here. The slot uses a conventional 5x3 game grid, with 20 active paylines on each spin. Players will score a win if they land three or more matching symbols along a payline, starting on the leftmost reel.

The control panel for the slot is located on the right-hand side of the grid. Here, you will find the paytable, the stake adjustment options, and the autoplay feature.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Like other movie titles such as The Goonies and Ted from Blueprint Gaming, Ace Ventura Pet Detective is packed with bonus features.

Landing three Scatters on the middle three reels launches the Trigger & Collect Free Spins bonus. During the round, Wilds have a Multiplier attached to them that is applied to any wins it is involved in. Multipliers on a single line are added together.

The slot also follows in the footpath of popular games like Big Bass Bonanza and uses a collection mechanic. During the Free Spins, Snowflake the Dolphin will land, displaying cash values. These are collected if they land at the same time as a Wild.

Landing three or more Mini Wheel Scatters launches the Mini Wheel bonus. All three wheels will spin and their prizes are multiplied together and paid out. You can also win one of four jackpots on the wheel.

You can also win a Jackpot by landing three, four, or five of the Jackpot Scatter symbols. These reward the Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpots, respectively.

Players can skip the queue by using the Buy Bonus feature to launch the Free Spins round.
