In numbers: measured RTP 102.4% against 95.8% declared over 10,000 logged rounds; 32.3% of rounds paid; a natural bonus landed once per 385 rounds (26 in total) and a bonus round paid a median 50.5x the stake, mean 62.1x, trigger spin included; the biggest round paid 285.3x; the longest dry run was 19 spins.

REC · NATURAL TRIGGER

S-Mart Free Spins from a natural bonus trigger, the bonus ladder, bear Wilds on the shelves and the USD 86.80 total at a USD 2.00 bet. Recorded in a separate browser session, outside the statistical samples.

Across the whole run the 26 natural bonuses split into 2 under 20x, 11 between 20x and 50x, 10 between 50x and 100x and 3 at 100x or more, and together they made up 16% of everything the game returned. The wait between two triggers ran from 3 to 1,071 spins. Payout figures here cover the whole bonus round in ordinary stakes, the trigger spin included: its scatter pays and line wins count towards the bonus.

Only ladder outcomes that ran free spins count as bonuses in this block; Thunder Buddies Bonus climbs that ended in Bar Crawl Bonus or Wheel of Fortune cash are left out. The longer Ted Free Spins rounds grew through extra-spin awards inside the feature, not through a retrigger.

Ted's 5x3 grid carries 20 win lines, and every line win is a multiple of the line bet, one twentieth of the stake. Five ted logos or five Ted Wilds pay 500 times the line bet and both already pay 2 for two of a kind; the duck and the woman pay 300 for five, the Ted Light six-pack and the bong 200, A and K 100, Q and J 50. The Wild replaces anything but the Thunder Buddies Bonus symbol, and the ted logo is marked Super Stacked on the paytable. Game version 1.6.1.3_hotfix_3 shows 95.80% RTP and caps a single game at 50,000x the total bet.

The Thunder Buddies Bonus needs three or more of its own symbols and is a ladder of five prizes: Wheel of Fortune at the bottom, then Bar Crawl Bonus, S-Mart Free Spins, Ted Free Spins and Ted Big Money Bonus at the top. The game sets a starting rung, then offers COLLECT on that prize or GAMBLE for the rung above. Only S-Mart Free Spins and Ted Free Spins are free spins; the other three prizes are bonus games.

Ted can also trigger at random on any spin and switch on one of six modifiers: Lazer Gun Infectious Wilds, Psychedelic Super Spin, Beer Shuffle, Psychedelic Colossal Spin, TV Streak and Psychedelic Bonus Boost. In the Bar Crawl Bonus a bottle pick sends Ted around town, where GIRLS upgrade win multipliers, PIZZA HOUSE adds a move, MINGS TAKEAWAY holds a mystery prize, five TED BEER stops award Ted's Big Money and ARRESTED could spell trouble.

The demo sells no bonus and accepts a total bet between USD 0.20 and USD 200; at the USD 1.00 used for the series, each line was worth USD 0.05.

Verdict

Most climbs stopped on cash

The Thunder Buddies Bonus triggered 68 times in 10,000 rounds at USD 1.00, and the ladder started 26 of those climbs on Bar Crawl Bonus, 20 on S-Mart Free Spins, 18 on the Wheel of Fortune and 4 on Ted Free Spins, never on Ted Big Money Bonus. Every offer was collected and no gamble was taken, so the starting rung was also the prize, except that the wheel sent 2 of its 18 rounds on to S-Mart Free Spins. That left 42 bonuses paying cash without a single free spin, and the free spins block counts only the other 26.

Cash rounds returned USD 1,544.30, 15.08% of all payouts in the series, and the free spins rounds USD 1,614.20, 15.76%, each counted as the whole round from the trigger spin on. Per bonus the free spins were worth more, a 50.50x median against 27.50x for cash. Bar Crawl Bonus reached Ted's Big Money once, in round 674, and Ted's Big Money alone paid 140.00x of the round's 176.20x; because no free spins ran, the test card lists this Bar Crawl round as its 176.2x max win with no bonus round.

All 15 rounds above 39x that had no bonus trigger carried one of Ted's random modifiers on the paid spin. The 140 rounds outside the ladder where a modifier took effect paid USD 2,930.00, 28.61% of all payouts, close to the 30.85% from the whole bonus ladder, at a 15.65x median. Spins with no trigger and no modifier at all returned 42.49% of their stake and never paid more than 39.00x.

Measured upsides
  • No bonus-ladder round paid less than 7.00x the stake
  • Ted Free Spins ran 14 spins in round 7721, which paid 285.30x in all
  • A Thunder Buddies Bonus trigger arrived once per 147.06 rounds
Measured downsides
  • No Thunder Buddies Bonus trigger came in the 730 rounds between 9112 and 9843
  • Wheel of Fortune cash stayed at or below 45.00x in 16 rounds
  • All 22 S-Mart Free Spins rounds lasted exactly five spins

Test record

One test run so far: a single session of the base game on the official demo server, every request and response logged; the game offers no bonus purchase, so every feature in the sample came from ordinary spins. When the game is tested again, the new run is added here and the figures on this page combine all runs into one sample.

FAQ

6 questions · answered from the log
When Ted's bonus triggers, how often is it free spins?
Lab answer

Free spins came 26 times over the 10,000-round series at USD 1.00, about once per 384.6 rounds. The bonus itself arrived more often: the Thunder Buddies Bonus triggered 68 times, one per 147.06 rounds, and 22 of those triggers came with a modifier, 18 with Psychedelic Bonus Boost and 4 with Psychedelic Colossal Spin.

What does each prize on the Ted bonus ladder pay when you collect?
Lab answer

Counted as whole rounds at a USD 1.00 stake, Bar Crawl Bonus averaged 47.13x with a 36.50x median, S-Mart Free Spins 56.09x with a 50.50x median, Wheel of Fortune cash 19.93x with a 16.60x median and Ted Free Spins 95.05x over four rounds. Every offer in the test was collected, so how often a gamble wins the next rung was not measured.

Ted lists 95.80% RTP, so why did the demo pay back 102.4%?
Lab answer

The 102.4% describes one sample of 10,000 rounds; around that mean the approximate 95% CI spans 89.62% to 115.17%, and it measures this sample only. The largest single push came from round 7721, a Ted Free Spins round worth 285.3x, and without that round the other 9,999 returned 99.55% of their stake.

Did the Ted test ever reach Ted's Big Money?
Lab answer

Yes. Ted's Big Money came up once, inside the Bar Crawl Bonus of round 674, and that round paid USD 176.20 on a USD 1.00 stake, second only to round 7721 in the series. The Ted Big Money Bonus rung was never where a ladder climb started.

Can Ted pay over 100x without the bonus?
Lab answer

Yes. Three rounds without a bonus trigger reached 100x or more, each with one of Ted's random modifiers on the paid spin: 170.00x in round 814, 124.30x with Lazer Gun Infectious Wilds in round 6254 and 100.00x with Psychedelic Super Spin in round 9284. Spins with no modifier and no trigger stopped at 39.00x.

Do S-Mart Free Spins and Ted Free Spins run the same number of spins?
Lab answer

No. S-Mart Free Spins ran exactly 5 spins in all 22 rounds of the test, while Ted Free Spins start with 10; the four rounds that reached them ran 10, 13, 14 and 24 spins, and three of them gained spins from awards inside the feature.
