Anchorman Slot Game Review

Ron and his hapless crew of locally famous incompetents are on the reels for this game from SGI/Bally, which features some heavy 80s theming, and a set of character-based bonuses.

SGI is Scientific Games Interactive, part of the Bally organisation, a massive on-(and off-)line gaming empire, which has been flogging slots since it ranked them up in Vegas casinos in 1968.

Among the big titles of Bally’s in 2020 are Triple Cash Wheel, and Cash Spin. They have a good rep and a pedigree as long as your arm. Anchorman slot is one of a number of big movie tie-ins that the company has.

The Facts and Figures

SGI give players a 96.03% theoretical return to player, or a 3.97% house edge. That’s fairly typical at the time of this game’s release, in June 2018. Its low-to-medium variance rating means that the game is more likely to pay out prizes more regularly, but they’re less likely to be big.

The top jackpot prize is 2,400 coins, which can be won with betting from 0.75 coins to 150 coins. Please be sure to check the betting limits and prize amounts at the site you’re playing the game at. Anchorman is a five-by-three game with 25 pay-lines. It is available on desktops, mobiles, and tablets using JavaScript and HTML5.

There’s no problem with the look of Anchorman slot game, which is lifted straight from the film, with still images as the symbols, and a great recreation of the cheesy look of the 1980s.

The Game

The game is simple to play, with a stripped down look of squared-off reels with a big, diagrammed spin button with gambling controls to the right and the information button on the left. A lot of other options reside in the game frame.

The bonus features start in the base game, where Ron Reels and Mystery Stack Reels fill the reels with high-paying symbols. Baxter Wilds chuck from three to 10 wilds onto the reels – thank you very much.

Scatters trigger the bonus rounds that start with a bonus wheel spin that awards a cash prize, a jackpot, or one of four bonus games (all with movie clips, and one boosting the pay-lines to 117).

The straight cash prizes peak at 10-times wager and the jackpots rise from 25-times to 100-times, to 1,000-times your stake.

The Rewards

The lower paying symbols top out at 100-times stake for five (vans, pairs of shades, and cowboy hats). Dogs and whiskies pay a maximum of 140 coins. The prizes go up to 300 and 400 for full sets of the character picture symbols.

The Verdict

It can be tough to turn a great movie into a great game, but SGI has hit the prime time with this go at the comedy classic. No slot is really going to have the lasting laughs of a top-notch comedy scene, but they’ve done a great job of getting the cheesy atmosphere of Anchorman down.

It’s a good game in its own right too, with some nice, imaginative bonuses and a decent promise of reward. Tune in to Anchorman slot at your local casino site now.
