Spin Joy Games Releases Poker-Themed Ace Race Slot Featuring Anatoly Filatov

Spin Joy Games has released Ace Race, a poker-themed video slot featuring high-stakes poker player Anatoly Filatov.

Filatov, who has recorded more than $8m in live tournament winnings, serves as both the game’s host and its Wild symbol.

Played on a 5x4 grid with 40 fixed paylines, Ace Race includes a Wild Respin mechanic with multipliers reaching 512x, alongside a Poker Deal bonus, Lucky Boost and feature-buy options.

Wild Respins Build Multipliers To 512x

Filatov’s Wild substitutes for all regular symbols and activates a chain of Wild Respins when it lands.

During each respin, the Wild moves one position down the grid, while any additional Wild that lands extends the sequence.

The multiplier doubles with each respin, progressing from 2x to 4x, 8x and potentially as high as 512x.

The multiplier applies only during the Wild Respin sequence and resets once the final Wild leaves the grid.

Poker Deal Introduces Seven-Card Bonus

Landing three Deal Trigger symbols activates the Poker Deal feature, moving play from the slot grid to a poker table hosted by Filatov.

Each round uses a newly shuffled 52-card deck, with seven cards dealt to the player. The game automatically selects the strongest five-card poker hand from those seven cards and awards a prize according to the dedicated paytable.

Winning combinations range from a pair through to a royal flush, with no requirement for players to manually hold or discard cards.

Ace Race also features Lucky Boost, allowing players to increase their chances of triggering respins, the Poker Deal bonus or both.

Buy Respins and Buy Bonus options provide direct access to the respective features in markets where feature purchases are permitted.

Multiple RTP Configurations Available

Ace Race is available with RTP configurations of 88%, 92%, 94% and 96%, allowing operators to select settings according to individual market requirements.

Bet limits, currencies and feature-buy availability can also be configured for individual operators through the Spin Joy proprietary RGS.

Free rounds and tournaments can be configured by the provider, supporting operator-specific promotional campaigns.
