Ted is Blueprint Gaming's officially licensed slot series based on Seth MacFarlane's 2012 film, and it's grown into a genuine four-game family without ever needing a "Ted 2" to justify a sequel. From the pun-loving original through a Megaways spin-off, a Cash Lock rework and 2024's Afterparty, this page rounds up every slot like Ted honestly — including an important warning about a similarly named game from a completely different studio that keeps getting mixed up with Blueprint's own.
Where to Play Ted Slots
The complete Ted lineup at a glance
All four Blueprint Gaming, all built around the same pun-heavy Ted universe — figures checked 6 July 2026:
| Game | Year | Layout | RTP | Max win |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ted | 2017 | 5x3, 20 paylines | 95.80% | 250,000x |
| Ted Megaways | 2020 | 6 reels, up to 117,649 ways | 96.03% | 50,000x |
| Ted Cash Lock | 2023 | 5x4, 20 paylines | 96.01% | 50,000x |
| Ted Afterparty | 2024 | 5x4, 50 paylines (5x8 in feature) | 95.04% | Not confirmed |
Ted Afterparty ships in three certified RTP tiers (92.06%/93.04%/95.04%) — the headline 95.04% figure is shown above. A fifth title, Ted Jackpot King (2019), is a 93.02% RTP progressive re-skin of the original with Blueprint's network jackpot layered on — it's mentioned in this guide but not given a full review slot since no confirmed max-win figure exists for an uncapped progressive game.
Every game, reviewed
1. Ted
Released 1 March 2017, the original Ted runs on a straightforward 5x3, 20-payline grid, but the base game is anything but static — Ted himself periodically wakes up mid-spin to trigger one of six random modifiers, among them Laser Gun Infectious Wilds, a Beer Streak, a TV Remote Symbol Streak and a trio of Psychedelic spin-boosting effects. Land 3 or more scatters and you trigger the Thunder Buddies Bonus, a wheel spin that awards one of five features ranked low to high: S-Mart Free Spins, the Bar Crawl Bonus, the (genuinely, verbatim) Wheel Of Fartune, Ted Free Spins, and Ted's Big Money at the top. Published at 95.80% RTP, Medium volatility, and a substantial 250,000x max win — still the biggest ceiling anywhere in this family.
2. Ted Megaways
Released 30 July 2020 under licence from Big Time Gaming's Megaways mechanic, this is the most mechanically different entry in the family: 6 reels each holding 2 to 7 symbols, plus a 4-position reel running along the top, for up to 117,649 ways to win on a single spin. Cascading wins remove winning symbols and drop in new ones, and landing 4+ scatters triggers Thunder Buddies Free Spins — 12 spins outright, or a gamble onto the Thunder Wheel for more spins and a higher guaranteed minimum Megaways count. An unlimited win multiplier climbs +1 after every cascade during the bonus, and collecting Ted symbols along the way upgrades that minimum Megaways level further. Published at 96.03% RTP (up to 97.00% effective using the Mystery Bonus Buy), High volatility, and a 50,000x max win.
3. Ted Cash Lock
Released 15 January 2023, Ted Cash Lock moves to a taller 5x4, 20-payline grid built around Blueprint's Cash Lock format: land 3 or more Ted symbols and they lock in place while you get a set of re-spins to complete the picture. It runs two separate scatter symbols — a Rainbow Ted scatter and a Thunder Buddies Bonus scatter — alongside an optional Thunder Bet side stake, and its free spins are awarded via a dedicated Ted Bonus Wheel with named modifier variants including Ted Colossal Spins, Lazer Gun Spins and Super High Spins. Published at 96.01% RTP, mid/high volatility, and a 50,000x max win, with a Bonus Buy option for players who want to skip straight to the feature.
4. Ted Afterparty
Released 24 June 2024, Ted Afterparty is the newest and glossiest entry, running on a 5x4, 50-payline grid that expands all the way to 5x8 once its Cash Feature triggers — land 4 or more Ted symbols and the grid grows to award cash prizes across the extra space, with separate scatter-triggered Free Games and a 50x stake Bonus Buy available for either. It ships in three certified RTP tiers (92.06%, 93.04% and 95.04% base, each with a marginally higher bonus-buy variant), the highest of which is shown in the table above. Blueprint's own launch materials specifically call out "engaging audio" adding to "the authentic experience," meaning real film audio is used, though no source names a specific clip. Its max win and volatility rating aren't confirmed anywhere we could find, so we're not stating a figure for either.
Not to be confused with…
There is no Blueprint Gaming slot called "Ted 2," despite the 2015 sequel film. What does exist, released within weeks of Blueprint's own Ted Afterparty in mid-2024, is a similarly named, similarly themed game called Ted 2 Afterparty — but it's made by a completely different studio, Lucksome (an independent developer founded by ex-Blueprint staff, distributed through the Games Global/Microgaming network), not Blueprint Gaming. Several review sites have muddled the two — we checked, and at least one major aggregator's own review URL wrongly credits it to Blueprint even though the article text correctly names Lucksome. If you're specifically looking for Blueprint's four-game Ted family, Ted 2 Afterparty isn't part of it.

The maths: a tight cluster of RTPs, one huge outlier ceiling
What a hundred £1 spins costs at each game's default published RTP:
| Game | House edge | £1 × 100 spins |
|---|---|---|
| Ted (95.80%) | 4.20% | £4.20 |
| Ted Megaways (96.03%) | 3.97% | £3.97 |

| Ted Afterparty (95.04% headline tier) | 4.96% | £4.96 |
✓ Calculated from the published RTPs — checked 6 July 2026
The three newer games sit within a narrow band of each other on RTP, but the original Ted still holds the family's biggest published ceiling by a wide margin at 250,000x — five times Ted Megaways' and Ted Cash Lock's 50,000x cap. Session tools on our Responsible Gambling page.
History and legacy
Ted first reached reels in 2017, a full licensed adaptation of the 2012 film from Blueprint Gaming, leaning on Seth MacFarlane's crude comedy for its base-game modifiers and bonus-wheel names rather than just borrowing the character's likeness. Blueprint has since returned to the license three more times: a 2019 Jackpot King progressive re-skin, a 2020 Megaways spin-off built under licence from Big Time Gaming, a 2023 Cash Lock rework, and 2024's Afterparty, its most visually ambitious entry yet. We couldn't find a sourced account of exactly when or from whom Blueprint secured the film rights, so we're not speculating on the deal itself — only what's actually shipped since.
Why this family still matters
Four genuine games across seven years, all built on the same licensed comedy, shows Blueprint treating Ted as a durable brand worth revisiting with new mechanics rather than a one-off tie-in — and it's done so without ever needing to make a literal "Ted 2" slot to justify a sequel.
Beyond the reels
All four games are part of Blueprint Gaming's wider portfolio of licensed entertainment slots, and Blueprint holds an active UK Gambling Commission licence (account #6516) alongside MGA, Gibraltar, Alderney and Isle of Man licensing. That portfolio also includes Kingdoms Rise, another Blueprint series built around escalating RTP tiers. The original Ted and Ted Megaways are both confirmed live at UK-facing operators including MrQ, PlayOJO, BetFred and Grosvenor Casino.
What players say
Players consistently rate the original Ted's 250,000x ceiling as the standout reason to choose it over the newer entries, even if its Medium volatility means that ceiling is rarely in reach. Ted Megaways draws praise for genuinely feeling different rather than just reskinned, thanks to its Big Time Gaming ways-to-win engine, while Ted Cash Lock and Ted Afterparty split opinion mostly on presentation — Afterparty's expanding grid and glossier visuals versus Cash Lock's simpler, faster-paced re-spin loop.
Win potential
We couldn't find a specific, verifiable big-win story for any of the four games — no named player, date or confirmed amount that multiple sources agree on for Ted, Ted Megaways, Ted Cash Lock or Ted Afterparty, so we're not publishing one. What's genuinely documented is the mechanical ceiling: the original Ted's 250,000x max win is the largest published figure anywhere in this family, five times higher than either Ted Megaways or Ted Cash Lock's 50,000x cap, and Ted Afterparty's max win isn't published at all in any source we could verify.
The best Ted slot for your kind of comedy
| If you want… | Play | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The biggest possible ceiling | Ted | A 250,000x max win, five times any other entry in the family |
| A genuinely different engine | Ted Megaways | Big Time Gaming's ways-to-win mechanic instead of fixed paylines |
| A fast, simple re-spin loop | Ted Cash Lock | Straightforward Cash Lock feature, no extra systems to track |
| The newest, glossiest presentation | Ted Afterparty | An expanding 5x8 grid and the newest visual overhaul |
Our verdict on Ted
Sister Slots score: 7/10 — a licensed comedy tie-in that earned four genuine sequels by actually changing the mechanics each time.
| Features | 7/10 — Thunder Buddies Bonus and the Megaways ways-to-win engine barely resemble each other under the hood |
|---|---|
| Win potential | 7/10 — the original's 250,000x is a real outlier ceiling |
| Design | 7/10 — leans hard into the film's crude comedy, which won't be for everyone |
| Playability | 7/10 — four distinct volatility/format combinations to choose from |
Play here if you enjoy the film's humour and want a licensed slot that's actually evolved its mechanics across four entries.
