Teddy's Tavern - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you hope for magical charm from Wizard Games slots online, then Teddy’s Tavern is the one for you. Beautiful graphics depict a simple theme, with the 3-reels coming with only 1 row, meaning only 1 payline. Don’t be deceived though, with a free spins round that you can purchase at will and re-spins available even after losses, Teddy’s Tavern has a lot going on.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

There is a stereotype about the Irish and their fondness for alcohol. If all their pubs are as inviting as the titular establishment of Teddy’s Tavern, it might be understandable. This is a traditional drinking house outfitted in rich, warm wood and with golden sunlight spilling through the window. The cushions are green, of course, but if there was any doubt that this is a proudly Irish tavern, then see the pair of leprechauns standing on the bar. Red-haired and green-hatted, they brandish their tankards as they celebrate, moving and smiling to the merry Irish jig of the soundtrack. This is a place you’d love to spend St. Patrick’s Day, drawn in vivid colour and graphics.

Teddy's Tavern RTP and Variance

Asking about the RTP of Teddy’s Tavern isn’t entirely simple. It starts regularly enough, with a solid 95.99% figure. Where it gets confusing is every time you choose to buy a bonus, it can raise your average. One bonus means 97.11%, two bonuses 97.13% and three bonuses mean an even more impressive 97.56% (though it’s still only a guideline). Medium to high variance is also interesting, as it suggests a fairly balanced volatility that nevertheless tends to lean towards the rarer, higher wins. 

How to Play Teddy’s Tavern

Pour yourself a drink:

1. You get some guidance when you’re loading the game, so you should have an idea what’s going on even before the reels are visible.
2. Once the reels are there, if you do need more information then head right. There are four small tabs attached to the spin button, with the one below it opening the menu.
3. The first page in the menu is the paytable, then there’s a help page and a settings page. Settings includes two on/off toggles, one for quick spin and one for sound.
4. For other settings, look to the bottom left corner of the main screen. You’ll find another menu button with controls for sound, full screen mode and quick spin.
5. If you want to adjust your bet, use the plus and minus tabs on either side of the spin button. Take a look at your total balance first, make sure your wager is proportionate.
6. There’s only one button left, other than spin. If you find it a bit frustrating having to keep clicking, you may find the autospin button just above spin helpful. It gives you the option to spin between 10 and 500 times automatically.
7. Now, you should have a budget set to make sure you don’t lose more than you can afford. If you’re worried how autospin will affect that, use the advanced settings. You can stop at your loss limit, win limit, single win limit, on a win or when a feature is triggered.
8. Make sure you take regular breaks and never chase losses.

Always stay in control. When the fun stops, stop.

Bet & Win Sizes

Your minimum bet is 0.10. The maximum available is 20.00. 

With only one payline across one row, you’d think the paytable in Teddy’s Tavern would be pretty simple. Not quite. You don’t need to match identical symbols, you can win with different combinations of numbers in different orders, which create different bet multipliers. For example:

Diamond + Diamond + 00 = 0x bet.

Diamond + 0 + 3 = 3x bet.

3 + Diamond + Scatter = 3x bet.

3 + Diamond + 00 = 300x bet.

7 + Diamond + 00 = 700x bet.

10 + 9 + 00 = 10,900x bet.

Diamonds aren’t worth anything on their own. The 0 and 00 only pay when you have a number between 1 and 10 in the leftmost position.

Max-win 10,918x

Volatility High

Top RTP 93.98%

Teddy’s Tavern Bonus Features

This may not be a slot with wild feature, but it does have a surprising number of bonuses available for such a simple base game format:

Lucky Re-spins

These can occur at random after any non-winning combination, meaning you can receive an award even when you lose. That takes the sting out of an unsuccessful spin. Even better, they occur after every loss in free spins.

Free spins

You can trigger these by finding three scatter symbols. You’ll be awarded 10 free spins at first, but you can retrigger up to four more times, meaning a maximum of 50 at once. Alternatively, click the “Buy Bonus” button to buy 10, 20 or 30 free spins for 75x your bet.

Teddy's Tavern Review

Teddy’s Tavern may not be ground-breaking, but it’s a lot more complicated than the first glimpse of its single row may suggest. Even base game wins don’t work exactly like in most slots, then you’ve got the additional excitement of both re-spins and free spins. If you’re a fan of Irish-themed games like the Rainbow Riches slot, then this one is certainly worth a try.
