Time Spinners Review

Time has been a mysterious thing ever since a certain Einstein messed up our whole perception of it with his infamous ‘theory of relativity’. We’ve seen numerous developers play with the concept of time, and not least Hacksaw themselves with their classical antiquity installment, Itero. Time Spinners plays out in a haunted medieval castle, with computer game inspired visuals.

The mysterious time-traveling ghost is lurking in the corridors, and this is the first release we’ve seen from Hacksaw that mixes a sinister vibe with bright and cozy symbols. They are usually extremely dualistic, with either grim/dark or bright/joyful releases. The multiplier features are typical for Hacksaw, albeit done in an original way, and the 10,000x potential is solid as usual.

Time Spinners Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 5 and 20 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins on all 5 reels. The wild also pays 20x your stake if you line up 5 on a payline, but it does not pay for anything less than 5-oak.

In addition, you can land red-rimmed Watch Wilds that come with multipliers between x2 and x12. The random multiplier is only revealed if the watch wild is part of a win, and this boosts the line win.

You need 3 Ghost scatters anywhere in view to trigger the Borrowed Time Bonus Round, and it plays out in 2 phases. The first phase is all about accumulating Watch symbols, and it plays out like a hold-and-win style feature. Watch symbols, or special echo/epic echo symbols, reset the spin tally to 3 each time they appear, and here’s an overview of how it works:

• Watches - land with multiplier values between x2 and x12, and become sticky.
• Sync Your Watches - syncs all present watch multiplier values to the highest value.
• Echo - adds a random value of +1 to +50 to all watches in a 3x3 area.
• Epic Echo - boosts all watches in a 3x3 area by a random multiplier of x2 to x10.

While the watch accumulation phase came with no regular symbols, they return in the Payout phase as the accumulated multiplier wilds remain frozen in place. Regular symbols land in the Payout phase, and you get at least 3 free spins to cash in. In addition, you get +1 extra spin for each tally reset you achieved in the accumulation phase.

The Bonus Buy button is available in some jurisdictions only, and not in the UK for sure.

The 200 Spins Time Spinners Slot Experience

We grinded along in the base game for a while, and then we decided to turn on the Featurespins option to see if this would land us the bonus round. We got impatient not too many spins into the ante bet feature however, so we purchased the Borrowed Time feature instead. It triggers around 2:15 into the 6:51-minute highlights video, and you can check it all out below.

Review Summary

We’re unsure if the brightly colored symbols are a good match for an otherwise dark and somewhat sinister theme. Hacksaw is usually extremely consistent with their presentation, as they’re either grim and dark or lighthearted and happy. Time Spinners comes across as a somewhat confused mix between the two extremes we’ve become accustomed to, but we understand the sentiment of wanting to blend and experiment with new expressions.

The multiplier wilds can do damage also in the base game, and they are needed to land anything significant. We’ve seen 2-phased bonus rounds before from this developer, and it’s kind of fun to prepare to cash in via the accumulation phase. It’s equally frustrating when things don’t go your way, of course.

Pros

• Multiplier wilds up to x12
• Multiplier sync symbols
• 2-phase FS w/ sticky multiplier wilds
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges

If you enjoy Time Spinners Slot you should also try:

Itero - is another time-paradox installment from Hacksaw, and you’ll benefit from repeat win EchoSpins throughout the game. The feature takes center stage in both bonus rounds in different ways, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake also here.

Hand of Anubis - is dark and grim, yet visually superb, release from Hacksaw, and it certainly puts many cliched ancient Egypt installments to shame in comparison. You get a soul orb wild multiplier in the base game, and there are 2 unique bonus rounds that both come with a 10,000x potential.

Toshi Video Club - is one for lovers of Japan and the origin of video games, and this Pocketz installment from Hacksaw comes with 3 daruma multiplier symbols. They increase the global multiplier in different ways, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake when the multiplier never resets in the bonus round.
