Introduction

Well, well, well... OIL well, that is! Texas Tea is a gusher of entertainment with barrels of bonus game action!

Immerse yourself in the rich oil fields of Texas where giant fortunes are made every day.

Three or more Texas Ted scatter symbols initiate the 'Oil Dividend' bonus, in which Ted welcomes you into his office and writes you a big fat 'dividend check'.

The 'Big Oil' bonus launches when you get three or more oil derrick symbols on a wagered payline. You know you're in for some action as the game screen shakes and rumbles, and oil oozes over the screen. In this bonus, you go oil prospecting, placing oil derricks on multiple regions of Texas. Then comes the exciting part as your oil derricks keep pumping and pumping and pumping oil, spewing out potentially huge bonus awards.

All of this plus our very popular gamble feature.

Texas Tea is erupting with so much fun it'll have y'all drillin' for more!

How to Bet

The game has 9 paylines. You can bet 1-5 credits on each payline.

In the LINE BET box, you see your current bet per line. Click on the left arrow (with a minus sign) to decrease your bet per line by one. Click on the right arrow (with a plus sign) to increase your bet per line by one.

Click the MAX BET button to bet the maximum, which are 5 credits on each payline. If you have fewer than 45 credits, MAX BET is not enabled.

Click the PLAY button to spin the reels.

If you do not want to bet on all 9 paylines, you can use the LINES control to change the number of paylines you are playing. In the LINES box, you see the current number of paylines you are playing. Click the left arrow (with a minus sign) to decrease the number of paylines you are playing. Click the right arrow (with a plus sign) to increase the number of paylines you are playing.

Oil Dividend Bonus

Earn the 'Oil Dividend' bonus by getting three or more Texas Ted symbols anywhere on the reels. If you get four or five Texas Ted symbols scattered anywhere on the reels, then your bonus is even richer!

Once in the bonus, Texas Ted invites you into his office where he writes you an oil dividend check. This is an instant award with no interaction required on your part - just sit back and receive your riches!

All bonus awards are multiples of the bet you placed when you triggered the bonus. The larger your total bet, the larger your oil dividend check award.

Big Oil Bonus

Earn the 'Big Oil' bonus by getting three or more oil derrick symbols on a wagered payline. If you get four or five oil derrick symbols on a wagered payline, then your bonus is even richer!

Once the bonus is triggered, the screen shakes, rumbles, and gushes geysers of oil as it transitions to a map of the state of Texas divided into eight regions. Texas Ted will prompt you to choose which regions you want to place an oil derrick. If you triggered the bonus with three oil derrick symbols, then you will have three oil derricks to place. Similarly, if you triggered the bonus with four or five oil derrick symbols, then you will have four or five oil derricks to place, respectively. You can only place one oil derrick per region. If you place an oil derrick on a region, but then wish to change your mind, simply click on that region again to remove that oil derrick, and then pick another region.

Once you have placed your last oil derrick, then the oil pumping action begins! Oil spurts from each of your derricks at various intervals, starting and stopping multiple times, all the while increasing your bonus awards. You never know when an oil well might still produce an unexpected burst of oil worth more money for you!

Your oil derrick awards are multiples of your bonus triggering line bet. Your total bonus pay is the sum of all your oil derrick awards. At the end of the bonus, Texas Ted will celebrate your newly found fortune!

Gamble

After any award less than 3000 credits, you have the opportunity to gamble your win in a completely fair round of double or nothing.

Click the GAMBLE button after a win to Gamble an award. A deck of Gamble cards appears which always contains an equal number of red and black aces. Click RED or BLACK to guess which colour ace will appear next. If the colour you predicted is revealed, then your gambled money is doubled! If the other colour is revealed, then your Gamble bet is forfeited and the Gamble round is concluded.

Click the TAKE HALF button to deposit half of your winnings back into your main balance, leaving the other half available for further gambling. You can click TAKE HALF once before each Gamble try.

Click the TAKE WIN button to collect all of your winnings and end the Gamble round.

If you win 5 gambles in a row within the same Gamble round, or if your Gamble award reaches 3000 or higher, your Gamble round automatically ends.

With the deck of cards you have a 50:50 chance of revealing either a red or black ace with every choice. Though the history of the last ten outcomes (red, black) is also provided, each card chosen is completely independent.

Options

Clicking the OPTIONS button reveals a panel that allows you to customise the GRAPHICS QUALITY of the game. You may want to adjust the quality of the graphics to get the optimal animation performance on your computer. In BEST mode, the graphics look the best, but performance may suffer. The HIGH (default) and MEDIUM settings lower the quality but increase the performance. In LOW mode, the graphics are degraded, but the smoothest animation performance is achieved even on slower computers.
