Play Anchorman the Legend of Ron Burgundy for Free

All of the symbols are based on people or objects from the film, including the lower-value cowboy hat, sunglasses and TV news van. Higher-paying symbols are images of Brian, Brick, Champ and Ron, all in comic poses. You win by landing any three or more of the same symbol in an unbroken line across any of the 25 paylines from left to right, although multiple bonus symbols can reward you in many different ways.

A wild symbol, helpfully shown as the words ‘This is a Wild’ so that even Brick would understand it, will act as any of the above if it’s then able to complete continuous runs of matching symbols. Up to 10 extra wilds can be added to the game in the randomly-awarded Baxter Wilds feature. Other in-game bonuses include Mystery Stack reels that can be triggered at any time, with symbols randomly replaced by others if it then helps to complete combinations. Ron Reels can also appear at any time and only the higher-paying symbols will be seen, making it easier to line them up.

A yellow arrow is a bonus symbol and once more, it’s obvious what it is, because the word ‘Bonus’ is in big letters across. When this turns up in any three or more places, in a spin that doesn’t include an in-game feature, you get one spin of a Big Bonus Reel. This can land you with instant cash prizes, the Nice, Very Nice, or Really Good jackpot payouts, or entry to a further feature.

There’s four bonus rounds, each related to a character. If the Big Bonus Reel lands on Ron’s Giant Free Games section, the reels expand from three symbols high to 19 high, with 117 paylines running across them. You are awarded seven free spins of these giant reels, where several more pictures of Ron are in play, each able to act as one another to give you a good chance of landing big wins.

You get 12 free spins in the Whammy feature when the Bonus Reel stops on Champ. A win ladder to the side of the game will fill up each time a Whammy symbol appears during this round and the higher up you climb, the bigger and better the resulting payouts will be. Brick awards you with a Weather Wheel feature which starts with a spin on a blue wheel that’s worth between 75x and 1,000x the total stake. If you land on the Level Up section, you move on to a green wheel, with a high limit of 2,000x your bet available, while another Level Up takes you to the red wheel, where the rewards are multipliers of between 2x and 10x anything won on the last two wheels.

Brain Fantana is irresistible to the ladies of 1974 and his Sex Panther Pick feature gives you a chance to woo them with cologne in any of the 15 bottles on display. Each pick awards a prize, and once all selections have been made, you pick one of the five packets of condoms to score with a multiplier of between 2x and 10x the accumulated bottle awards.

All lines are active at all times, so you can’t just pick a couple and try the game out, although free Anchorman the Legend of Ron Burgundy video slots are available. You can play for real cash from 0.75 per spin up to a maximum bet of 150.00, but bear in mind that the value of winnings rises in line with the stakes, so if you feel lucky, wager as high as you want for the best possible prizes.

An autoplay button can be used to spin the reels on their own for a while, and there’s also the option to play the soundtrack or mute it. With groovy tunes such as Afternoon Delight, Everyone’s a Winner and Use Me to listen to, we’re sure lots of punters are going to keep the volume turned up for that genuine 1970’s feeling.

If you’re looking for a film tie-in with lots of humour then you can’t miss out on the Ace Ventura slot game from Playtech. It’s a 243 Ways to Win game themed around the 1994 movie that starred Jim Carrey as manic pet detective. Symbols include Ace up to some of his wacky antics from the film, including stuffing asparagus into his mouth and creeping around with a chimp next him. It comes with bonus features such as Animal Modifier symbols. Collect these Wanted posters of sharks, rhinos, gorillas and more during the base games to earn features such as random wilds, expanded wild reels, win multipliers and symbol upgrades in the free spins round. You can even have a combination of these features in play, for some massive winning potential.

What could be better than a movie about a foul-mouthed magical teddy bear? How about a fun, feature-filled slot machine based on the movie? We are of course talking about Ted, the star of one of the biggest hits of 2012 and now the star of his own slot from Blueprint Gaming. It’s got five reels and 20 paylines, with symbols such as beers, bongs the angry goose and beautiful women across the game. The Thunder Buddies scatter symbol takes you up a bonus ladder where you will find free spins, a wheel of fortune and a bar crawl bonus round.

Bally have taken lots of the best elements of the film and weaved them into a fantastic movie themed slot machine. If the movie didn’t appeal to you, then perhaps the game won’t either, but if you haven’t watched it, do so, as it’s an hilarious spoof on the era.

Of course, anyone can appreciate the multiple bonus features, with several random, in-game events and those extra rounds or instant prizes awarded by the Big Bonus Reel. It’s compatible with desktop computers, Macs, Android or windows phones and tablets and you can play this slot game on iPhones and iPads at the many online casinos that carry the range from Bally Technologies.
