Ted — Game Overview
Ted is Blueprint Gaming's licensed slot based on the Universal Pictures comedy films from 2012 and 2015, featuring the foul-mouthed animated bear character across a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines. Released by Blueprint in 2016, the game uses authentic brand assets including the Ted character voice, film clip sequences, and imagery from both films. Blueprint's licensed slot catalogue — which includes properties ranging from Top Cat to The Goonies — positions Ted alongside their other film and TV brand adaptations.
The game's primary mechanic is the Feature Club — a bar-shaped meter visible above the reels that fills incrementally as players spin. When the meter reaches the required level, a selector cycles through the seven available bonus options before landing on one randomly. The seven bonus types include Bong Bonus (a smoking-themed pick game with instant prizes), Flash Mob Free Spins (standard free spins with flash mob-themed wild additions), Ted's Bonus (a feature based on scenes from the film), and additional branded mini-games. The variety of bonus options means that even players who trigger the Feature Club repeatedly will encounter different experiences on successive activations, which helps the game sustain engagement over longer sessions than single-mode bonus games typically achieve.
Blueprint connected Ted to their Jackpot King progressive network, which links multiple Blueprint titles into a shared jackpot pool. The Jackpot King tier accumulates from stake contributions across all connected games and can trigger randomly during any spin. Mini and Minor jackpot tiers below the main prize are also available and trigger more frequently. The 95.80% RTP reflects the Jackpot King contribution and the licensed brand costs built into the game's economics.
