Ace Ventura: More Wild Than a Beaver on Red Bull
Yup, Playtech really did it. They made a slot out of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective — that gloriously unhinged 1994 comedy where Jim Carrey yells at animals, contorts like a pretzel, and crawls out of a fake rhino’s backside. And somehow? This slot is still around in June 2025. We’re not mad about it. It’s the kind of game where you think: What if my slot machine acted like a sugar-rushed toddler at a zoo?
Still spinning at Play Fortuna, Jet Casino, and the gloriously surreal Wazamba, this oddball classic has survived a thousand fruit machine clones and "Book of Something" copycats. And it’s still doing its loony thing.
What’s On the Reels? 🐒
Ace Ventura plays out on a 5x3 grid with 243 ways to win — no fixed paylines, just line up 3+ matching symbols from left to right and let Ace do his thing. It’s like cruise control in a thunderstorm: terrifying, oddly effective.
The Tech Rundown:
- RTP: 96.18% — solid and honest.
- Volatility: Low to medium — consistent wins, few heartbreaks.
- Bet range: €0.40–€200 — from lunch money to “I skipped rent for this.”
- Max win: 1000x your stake (€200,000 at max bet).
- Symbols: Chaos incarnate. Tutu Ace, Monkey Ace, Police Badge, Rhino Butt... the gang’s all here.
Works great on mobile — we tested it across devices, and it’s smoother than Carrey’s exaggerated facial muscles.
Bonus Mayhem — With Extra Pigeons 🐦
This is not your average spin-fest. This slot is full send, all the time. Random features fly in without warning, and the modifiers? Chef’s kiss.
🎭 Random In-Reel Antics:
- Jungle Friends: Ace summons wildlife to splatter wilds across the reels. Sounds gross, feels great.
- Sneaky Walk: Ace tiptoes by, drunkenly turning reels into wilds like it’s his job (it kind of is).
- Loser Respin: Lose a spin? Ace yells
“LOSER!” — then rewards you with a respin and growing multipliers. We hit 10x once. Life-changing? No. Fun? Absolutely.
🎰 Free Spins + Mutant Modifiers:
Hit 3 rhino scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger 7 free spins. But here’s where it goes full bonkers:
You collect up to six modifiers from reel 5 during base game spins. Pick three for your bonus round. Choose wisely. Or chaotically. Both work.
Modifiers include:
- 🦈 Shark – Adds extra spins.
- 🐘 Elephant – Converts the game into 1024 ways to win.
- 🦍 Gorilla – Replaces low-paying symbols.
- 🦇 Bat – Drops wilds randomly.
- 🐦 Pigeon – Adds multipliers to wilds on reel 3.
- 🐬 Dolphin – Mystery multipliers.
We once hit Bat + Elephant + Dolphin and walked away with 63x on a €1 spin. Felt like stealing from Ace himself.
How to Play Without Getting Mauled by a Modifier
- Choose your bet: €0.40–€200.
- Turn on Turbo Mode unless you enjoy watching grass grow.
- Collect modifiers from reel 5 in base game — max 6.
- Land 3 scatters to activate Free Spins and pick 3 modifiers.
- Don’t blow your bankroll. This game has more distractions than YouTube at 2 AM.
🎯 Pro tip: Play 100–150 spins to build up modifiers. That’s where the real juice is. Budget properly and keep it chill.
Pros and Cons
✅ Pros:
- Great visuals and voice lines straight from the film.
- Random wild features + engaging bonus round.
- Modifiers make each free spins round feel different.
- Low-to-mid volatility = bankroll lasts longer than your patience.
❌ Cons:
- Max win of 1000x is modest for 2025.
- Bonus buildup requires a bit of grind.
- Sound effects can be... a lot. (Turn down the volume if your sanity matters.)
Still, if you’re tired of generic “Book of” slots and want something weird, nostalgic, and slightly unhinged — this is it.
Final Word from Star Gambling: 🃏
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is what it says on the tin — totally bananas, totally playable. You’re not here for Megaways mayhem or 100,000x jackpots. You’re here for the pigeon multipliers, the rhino scatters, and the fact that a slot based on a 1994 movie is still a good time.
Still playable at Wazamba, Play Fortuna, and Jet Casino — and still worth a few spins in June 2025.
Star Gambling Verdict: Allllrighty then. Ace still delivers.
