Ever dreamed of being in exactly the right place and exactly the right time? Ever thought of what it could have been like if you had been one of the first to discover oil in Texas? You’d be there to usher in an era of untold wealth and prosperity. With the Texas Tea slot from IGT, you still can be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time and strike it truly rich.
This beautifully rendered 5-reel, 9-payline slot offers up plenty of chances for you to hit black gold and step in to what Texans at the turn of the 20th century called “the gusher age”. Only this time it’s raining bonus features with a 10,000 coins max prize instead of sticky oil.
Packed with two bonus features to match the two golden oil derricks on each side of the screen, Texas Tea is a wild ride to mega cash without wilds.
That’s right, while Texas Tea has no wild symbol, bonus and scatter symbols abound to chalk up incredible prizes.
Texas Ted is your man, a cigar smoking, cowboy hat wearing, bushy white mustached denizen of the Texas oil fields, he serves as the scatter symbol in the Texas Tea online slot. He can appear anywhere, at anytime, just like a gusher from a drill rig and pays out in spades.
The bonus rounds break down as follows:
Oil Dividend Bonus Round
Hit the Texas Ted scatter symbol and pick up your oil dividend today!
– Land on three Texas Ted scatter symbols and he’ll hand you a dividend from the oil field by multiplying your bet by 3x, 8x, 15x, or 20x.
– Hit four scatter symbols and your bet will be multiplied by 8x, 10x, 25x, 40x, or 50x.
– Strike five Texas Ted scatter symbols and you’re in serious money with your bet multiplied by 20x, 30x, 50x, 75x or 100x.
That’s where the old slots experts’ advise to always bet max can really make your wheels spin. Imagine 100x your max bet! Texas Ted is a good old oil man and will step out in an animated sequence to write you a dividend cheque for your investment in oil.
Big Oil Bonus Game
Three or more oil well symbols will trigger the Big Oil Bonus Game, in which you decide where to look for oil by placing the symbols on any active payline from left to right to reveal your prize.
Other symbols
Filled with a wily armadillo as the highest paying standard symbol, out on the range among the oil derricks you’ll also meet a clever pierce nosed bull, Texas Ted in a long horn fronted Cadillac out for a ride on the range, the yellow rose of Texas, wild flowers and a prickly cactus with purple blooms as they pop up on the reels backed by an upbeat, inspiring soundtrack straight out of an old western.
