Teller of Tales Slot Review

Teller of Tales - Game Overview

When I first fired up Teller of Tales, the six-reel, four-row layout and 4,096 ways to win felt instantly familiar, yet the storybook framing gave it a different flavour. Skywind Group mix a cosy, old man at the fireside theme with a fairly punchy math model. You get random multipliers from the teller turning pages, Bonus Respins, and a five-chapter Free Games feature, backed up by Buy In and Double Chance options if you are impatient.

On paper, Teller of Tales sits in the medium-high to high volatility bracket, with an advertised RTP around 96.5% on most builds I have seen, though some sites quote a lower 94.5% configuration. Maximum win is usually listed at 5,000x or even 10,000x your bet, so the game clearly leans on its feature rounds. In practice, session flow swings between quiet patches and streaky bursts when the modifiers and free spins line up.

Theme, Graphics & Audio in Teller of Tales

The whole of Teller of Tales plays out in the storyteller’s house, with the old man in his antique chair on the left and a glowing fireplace on the right. The colour scheme leans heavily on pink and gold, which gives the game a slightly retro, almost dated look that I actually find rather charming. Graphics are clear rather than flashy, and the reels stay uncluttered enough to follow wins without eye strain.

Audio ties the package together nicely. There is a gentle musical track that sits in the background, giving the slot a magical, bookish tone rather than thumping noise. The teller chips in with occasional voice lines such as “Well, isn’t this lovely”, which add character without becoming annoying. It all fits the fantasy, magic angle, and the presentation feels consistent whether you play on desktop or on mobile.

Symbols, Pays & Ways to Win in Teller of Tales

Teller of Tales uses a 6x4 grid with 4,096 ways to win, so you are not dealing with classic paylines. Any three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost, will pay, regardless of exact row. Low-paying icons are the usual card ranks from 10 to A, while the higher tier leans on theme-led images: a carafe of port and glass, magician’s hat with white gloves, candle, scroll with quill, and the storyteller himself.

The teller is the premium pay symbol, with six-of-a-kind hits worth up to 160x your bet according to the paytable, which matches the wildfire payout. The fireplace icon plays the role of wild symbol, substituting for all regular pays to complete combinations. In the base game, wilds behave as standard single-position substitutes, but during the Bonus Respin feature they can turn sticky for one extra spin, which is where you can line up several ways wins at once.

The green storybook acts as scatter, and it does not pay in the usual line fashion. Instead, two in view trigger the Bonus Respin, while three or more launch the 5 Chapter Free Games feature. Because the game uses ways instead of fixed lines, hit patterns can feel swingy: clusters of smaller card-rank wins break up stretches of dead spins, with the higher symbols and storyteller hits tending to carry the real weight when they land across four or more reels.

Teller of Tales RTP, Volatility & Stakes

Most listings put Teller of Tales at 96.5% RTP with medium-high or outright high volatility, though I have seen versions quoted at 94.5% RTP and a similar risk profile. Stake ranges vary by operator: some sites run from £0.10 up to £100, others from £0.20 to £200, and certain UK setups cap the top bet at £5. Maximum win is shown either as 5,000x or 10,000x stake, with Double Chance and the Buy In raising cost rather than shifting long-term returns.

Bonus Features in Teller of Tales

The core modifier in Teller of Tales is the teller’s magical multiplier. At random in both base game and free spins, he turns a page in his book and can attach a random win multiplier of up to 5x to that spin. This applies on top of line wins, so a fairly average hit can leap up a tier when the modifier kicks in. It is not active every few spins, but it fires often enough to keep you watching him.

Bonus Respin, Free Games, Double Chance and Buy In round out the feature set. Two book scatters award a single Bonus Respin with any wilds held sticky. Three or more books trigger 5 Chapter Free Games, each chapter holding a mystery number of spins and an initial multiplier based on the scatter count, usually between 1x and 5x. Extra multipliers can stack via the modifier, while scatters on reel 6 add chapters. If patience is not your thing, you can pay 80x bet to buy the feature or use Double Chance, which increases the cost by 50% to improve your odds of triggering it naturally.

Overall Teller of Tales Slot Review

From my perspective, Teller of Tales hits a sweet spot between comfort-play and feature hunting. The visuals have a slightly old-fashioned look, yet the cosy fireside setup, random multipliers and chapter-based free spins keep it engaging. High RTP versions at 96.5% make it attractive, while the Bonus Respin and Double Chance help chase the Free Games without feeling too grindy. If you like story-led ways slots with solid modifiers, this one deserves a session.
