Playradar launches the Ned & Ted slot under the Sportradar iGaming brand

Playradar, Sportradar's iGaming content brand, has launched the new online slot Ned & Ted, an innovation in bonus mechanics and user experience. The title, set on a farm and developed on a 5x4 grid, introduces features such as Multiplier Wilds that can increase winnings up to x100 and various dynamic bonus rounds.

A farm-themed slot with a maximum win of x5,000

Ned & Ted is characterized by its light theme based on animated farm characters. The game employs a five-reel by four-row structure and a Return to Player (RTP) of 96.20%, aligning with the current standards of the international casino offering. In figures, the maximum win reaches x5,000 times the bet.

Bonus mechanics and special features

The heart of the game lies in its bonus system. A Bonus Wheel, situated above the reels, activates every time a bonus symbol appears. This mechanism randomly assigns one of four functions:

• Three of them are variants of Playradar's "Play Link," a respin round where money or jackpot symbols keep the feature active.
• The fourth option is "Ned & Ted’s Jackpot Showdown," a special single spin round with fixed prizes.

This flexibility allows for dynamic gameplay and gives operators additional options to structure bonus promotions and feature purchases.

Multipliers, accessibility, and bonus buy menu

Multiplier Wilds are present on all reels and can increase any prize up to a maximum of x100, enhancing volatility and appeal to player profiles seeking big wins. The "Ned & Ted’s Bonus Buy" feature allows players to immediately access any of the four bonuses, setting the buy-in price according to the chosen option. This caters to a growing trend in the industry towards customization of the experience and user control over progression in the game.

Strategic statements and position in Sportradar iGaming’s portfolio

"Ned & Ted brings a fresh and playful dimension to Playradar's portfolio. Although the concept is light, the team developed it with the same focus on quality and entertainment present in all our titles," emphasizes Edo Haitin, EVP of iGaming at Sportradar.

The executive adds that the inspiration was to create two characters with a distinctive personality to generate a fun and accessible experience. Haitin highlights the work of the Playradar team in materializing this vision.

Implications for operators and Playradar's portfolio

This launch expands Playradar's offering, reinforcing the Sportradar group's ability to integrate titles with modern mechanics and high commercial flexibility. Ned & Ted meets the RTP and volatility requirements preferred in major regulated markets, facilitating its adoption by operators looking to differentiate their catalog. Furthermore, thanks to the bonus buy menu and the variety of special features, the title is attractive to both operators and casino analytics studios interested in interaction and retention metrics.

Ned & Ted is now available for operators affiliated with the Sportradar iGaming network, who can integrate it directly into their online casino lobbies.
