Book of Time

The base game features a classic 5x3 grid and 10 paylines. Winnings are formed according to the standard rules: matches from left to right, separate payouts for Book of Time (a book is both a Wild and a Scatter). The peculiarity is that on each spin, the book can play the role of a "magic button" and add random modifiers: from increasing payouts to the appearance of a second special symbol.

Book of Time retains the signature dynamics of Hacksaw - spins are fast, symbols are beautifully animated, and thanks to frequent small winnings, it is not boring to play even at minimum bets.

The bonus feature is Free Spins, which are triggered when three or more books appear. At the beginning of the bonus, one special expansion symbol is randomly selected: if this symbol appears on the reels, it fills the entire column, as in the classic "books", and pays on all lines, regardless of position.

Sometimes a second special character appears or the re-selection function is activated. In the bonus, you can get extra spins for new Scatters, and Book of Time can add random multipliers on expansions, which significantly increases the potential.

The theme of the slot is a dark fairy tale about time: there is a magical owl (the most expensive symbol), a ghostly clock, magic hands, amulets, keys, as well as standard "letters and numbers" in the Gothic style. The Book of Time is Wild and Scatter. The largest payouts are given by a combination of owls or magic clocks on all five reels in the expansion mode.

The maximum win is x10,000 of the bet. To achieve it, you need to catch the expansion of the top symbol (owl or clock) on all reels in Free Spins, preferably with an activated multiplier. In practice, bonuses often give x80-x400, but there are upsets up to x1000+ if two special symbols or a large multiplier appear.

Volatility is high: long "empty" series are possible, but if the slot opens, the balance flies away instantly.

The design of Book of Time is a stylish, cartoonish dark comic: a lot of details, smooth animations, the background lives its own life (shadows move, the clock flashes, books "come to life"). The music is mystical, with elements of tension and humour. All wins stand out beautifully, and the bonuses are accompanied by characteristic "tick-tock" effects.

The slot is ideal for those who love classic "book" slot machines, but are tired of monotony. A beginner can easily figure it out here (the rules are the same), and an experienced player will appreciate non-standard chips and the possibility of upsets even in a regular game. Streamers and fans of mystical themes will definitely like the slot - there is always something to see.

The RTP of Book of Time is 96.13%, but there are understated versions - be sure to check the indicator before playing. Volatility is high, it is better to keep the rates moderate (1-2% of the bankroll per spin). Buying a bonus is a smart choice if you want to go straight to the "action", but a big win still depends on the special symbol and multipliers.
