If you ask anyone to name a cult movie from the last decade or two, the chances are they will come back with 2004’s Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.The modern classic starring Will Ferrell has proven to be one of the most popular, and quotable, movies that we’ve seen in a long time, and it was, therefore, without doubt that a slot based on the film would be created, and that’s exactly what Bally have done.
About the slot
With five reels and 25 paylines, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is playable from 75p to £150 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.The four main characters, Baxter the dog, Brian Fantana, Champ Kind, and, of course, Ron Burgundy all appear on as symbols on the reels, with the title character paying out a 2.66x your stake for five on a payline.A good looking slot, Bally’s effort does little to change or evolve its source material, but when that source material is so loved, that’s probably the right choice.
Gameplay
Mystery Stack Reels occur randomly during the base game and replaces symbols with higher value ones, while Ron Reels turn all symbols into the highest value five and the wild.Baxter Wilds also occur randomly, and offer a re-spin with up to 10 extra wilds on the reels.There are four big features here, with Ron’s Giant Free Games Feature offering six spins on a 117 payline reel set with extra high value symbols added.Whammy! Free Games offers more spins and a board game style feature, while there’s also a pick and click feature (Sex Panther Pick) and a wheel of fortune style game (Brick’s Weather Wheels).This is a game that only needed to do a certain amount, and it does, while adding a few surprisingly good features in too.
