Time Spinners Slot Review

Time Spinners Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Time Spinners slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 10 paylines. A winning combination consists of landing 3, 4 or 5 identical symbols from left to right, starting from reel 1, across any payline.

As standard, the bet options range from 10p to £100 a spin. Click on the up and down arrows in the Bet box to change your stake accordingly. Outside the UK, there is an Autoplay feature where you can choose up to 1,000 autospins. These come with the option of single win and loss limits. In the Settings section, you can opt for a Turbo Mode (not for UK players unfortunately).

The Time Spinners RTP is 96.19%. With other RTP versions available, the best slot sites in the UK will offer the higher version. The volatility is high (5/5) but there is no information just yet on the hit frequency rate.

When it comes to exposure, the maximum win per spin is 10,000 x your total bet. The bigger wins will come from the Borrowed Time Bonus feature.

Theme – experience the ephemeral nature of time

With a time theme, the Time Spinners slot lets you experience the ephemeral nature of time. According to the internet, this means the nature of time lasts only for a short time (i.e. short-lived). With the reels suspended by chains over a stone wall, what will strike you is the piano style soundtrack which is a little creepy.

On the reels you will see low value clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades. The higher value symbols include books, scrolls, hourglasses and gyroscopes. The gyroscope is the best paying symbol with 3, 4 or 5 in combination awarded 2, 8 or 20 x your total bet.

Then you have the W wild symbol which appears on all 5 reels. Substituting for all symbols mentioned above, 5 in combination will pay 20 x your total bet. The other symbols to look out for are the pocket watch, sync ghost and echo. Here’s a list of payouts/functions of all symbols:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Club	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 1 x bet
Diamond	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 1 x bet
Heart	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.7 or 2 x bet
Spade	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.7 or 2 x bet
Book	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 1.5 or 5 x bet

Time Spinners Bonus Features

The Time Spinners slot comes with 4 bonus features. With Pocket Watch multipliers up to 12x, it’s all about the Borrowed Time Bonus feature where you collect Pocket Watch multipliers. Special symbols increase their values. These are then sticky during the Payout Phase (the free spins).

Wild Multiplier feature

The pocket watch symbol is a wild multiplier. It reveals a multiplier value after it lands if part of a winning combination. Known as the Wild Multiplier feature, the multiplier ranges from 2x to 12x. If more than 1 wild multiplier is part of the same win, the multiplier values are added together. Furthermore, up to 10 wild multipliers can land in the base game with 15 in the main bonus feature.

If the sync gold watch symbols lands, all wild multipliers are synced to the highest multiplier value present on the reels. This is known as the Sync your Watches feature.

Borrowed Time Bonus feature

The Borrowed Time Bonus feature is activated by landing 3 Ghost symbols anywhere on the reels. The feature is divided into 2 phases: the collect phase and payout phase.

With 3 free spins awarded, the Collect Phase sees reels contain only the special Pocket Watch, Sync and Echo symbols. There are also 4 non-winning symbols. Here’s what each of the symbols awards:

Every time a special symbol above lands, the free spins counter resets to 3. The Payout Phase begins after 3 free spins in a row without a special symbol landing.

With the Pocket Watches sticky on the reels in the Payout Phase, normal symbols will also appear on the reels. With a  minimum of 3 free spins, every time you refill the free spins counter in the Collect Phase, you will get 1 extra free spin.

Bonus Buy feature

If you’re located outside the UK, there’s a Bonus Buy feature. With 2 options available, here’s what you’ll get:

With the FeatureSpins option, each spin is 3 times more likely to trigger the Borrowed Time Bonus feature.

Time Spinners Review Summary – an odd concept of time

The Time Spinners slot is certainly different aesthetically to other games. Whilst it’s based on time, it’s quite creepy with the Ghost resembling the Grim Reaper. The soundtrack is a little unsettling but does add to the atmosphere and intensity. Fairy play to Hacksaw Gaming for trying something different.

The Borrowed Time Bonus feature is similar to the Dead Man’s Hand feature in Wanted Dead or a Wild. I did find it hard to land more than 5 Pocket Watch symbols which a multiplier higher than 6x. The Echo symbols can boost your multipliers and the Sync your Watches feature can increase all wild multipliers to the highest value. If you manage to get the maximum 12x multiplier, 5 wilds across a payline can lead to 60x multipliers applied to a win.

With 10,000 x bet max wins possible, it’s all about the Pocket Watch multipliers in the feature increasing as high as possible. If you’ve played Hacksaw Gaming slots, you will notice there’s a Collect and Clash phase in Warrior Ways which also offers the same max win potential.

In summary, Time Spinners is an odd slot which is all about Pocket Watch multipliers. The volatility is very high so expect wins of between 30-60 x your total stake in the Borrowed Time Bonus feature.
