Since the 2020 release operates on BTG’s Megaways game engine, the Blueprint Gaming product offers six reels and benefits from up to 117,649 ways to win. There is also the seventh reel, placed horizontally above the reel grid, affecting only the four central reels. The slot pays left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

Thanks to Cascading Reels, the winning symbols will disappear, and make room for new icons to fill blank positions. Players can bet from $0.10 to $10 per single spin.
The visuals are simple, yet appealing. As you spin the reels, you can have a certain communication with Ted, who is drinking beer and stating some of his famous sentences from the movie. He can also fall asleep if you are not active on the reel grid. Symbols on the reels include the Logo, Ted Light Beer, Samantha from the movie sequel, Duck, and playing cards. Ted is also the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons. There is the Scatter that triggers the Thunder Buddies Bonus, as well as the Mystery Symbol.
Ted will randomly appear on the reels and shoot a ray gun, adding up to 100 Mystery Symbols on the reels. After that all Mystery Symbols will turn into the same randomly chosen regular icon. The Mystery Symbols feature can be triggered in both the base game and during free spins.
Four or more Scatters on the reels will trigger the Thunder Buddies Free Spins feature. Players will get 12 freebies, but also a chance to spin the Thunder Wheel in order to get a certain number of freebies and a certain number of guaranteed megaways. This can get you fewer spins than 12, so it is a gamble. The Unlimited Win Multiplier feature is active during freebies. Each time you land a win, the multiplier goes up by 1x and does not reset after a non-winning spin. Collect Ted icons on the seventh reel, because it will get you more guaranteed megaways and extra free spins. If you do not want to wait for free spins to be triggered, you can always buy the feature and spin the Wheel to get a random number of freebies, and guaranteed megaways.
