The foul-mouthed stuffed bear Ted is back and better than ever in Ted Jackpot King online slot. We’ve all seen the 2012 comedy starring Seth MacFarlane as the titular character, with Mark Wahlberg co-starring as Ted’s best friend John. Blueprint Gaming initially released Ted online slot in 2017, but have now followed it up with Ted Jackpot King to give fans of the original the chance to play for massive jackpots on their favorite slot. Let’s take a look at the opportunities this progressive has to offer, as well as added extras to help you win.
In terms of look and feel the slot appears quite similar to what you would have experienced in the first Ted release. The graphics are quite realistic and Blueprint does a great job of bringing Ted to life at points throughout the game. You’ll notice that the X-rated teddy wakes up every now and then to get involved in the game-play. There’s all the usual functionality that players have become used to in modern games such as autoplay, which allows you to keep the reels spinning while you step away from your device, and choosing your number of paylines. There’s 20 paylines in total that you can land winning symbol combinations on, with 5 reels. It’s all exactly the same as the first release. Blueprint has made the game responsive for mobile devices, and it could even be argued that the experience is better on iOS and Android than your desktop device.
Some players might wonder what the highest payout you can win would be, but that’s somewhat impossible to answer. This is because Ted Jackpot King hosts a progressive jackpot, and these have no set limit. Every spin triggered by players playing on the Blueprint progressive network sees a fraction of their wager added to a central pot. This pot continues growing until one lucky player comes along and wins the lot.
As mentioned earlier in the review, the game is basically identical to its predecessor, and this also goes for the symbols. The lower value icons are playing card royals J, Q, K and A, with the king and ace being the highest values of the 4. We then have some symbols all quite fitting to the lifestyle that Ted leads. There’s a bong, a six pack of beer, a sexy lady, a duck (a bit random) and the Ted logo. The logo is the highest paying of all regular symbols.
There’s also 2 symbols that will assist you in getting some easier wins. The first is the wild, which is Ted holding a wild sign. This symbol can stand in for all regular icons to create a winning line. The only symbol the wild can’t substitute is the Thunder Buddies bonus symbol.
There are a number of random bonus features that can be awarded by Ted at any point in the game. The features are as follows:
All see Ted doing things such as spraying beer and taking bong hits, which result in special symbol combinations and wild wins.
The Thunder Buddies bonus feature can be triggered if you land 3 or more Thunder Buddies bonus symbols on the reels on the same spin. When this happens you’ll have 3 potential features. There’s the Wheel of Fartune, where multipliers are added to wins, the Bar Crawl Bonus where you play a board game and collect prizes, and the Big Money Bonus which sees Ted operate a carousel to win multiplier payouts.
There are also the Super Mart Free Spins and the Flash Spins that offers even more bonus potential to make this one profitable title.
Let’s not forget the progressive jackpot that can be triggered on any spin. It’s an obvious choice for us between Ted Jackpot King and the original, as why play an identical game that doesn’t have the potential to change your life like a progressive jackpot can? So grab your thunder buddy and play a few rounds. You might just be experiencing an event bigger than a talking teddy bear.
