Time Spinners (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Time Spinners Slot Overview

I loaded up Time Spinners from Hacksaw Gaming and found a 5x4 layout suspended by chains, running across 10 paylines. Stakes go from 10p to 100 per spin, and the default RTP build sits at 96.19 with high volatility. Wins form left to right with three-of-a-kind minimums. The audio sits on a sombre piano line until the reels roll, then swells. It’s built for multiplier play, with watch symbols and a sync mechanic doing the heavy lifting in both base game and feature.

Time Spinners Slot Information

The theme leans into a time motif with a ghostly figure overseeing a stone pit setup, pillars, and chains. I could play on mobile or desktop without fuss, and wins came from adjacent reels starting at the far left. The pace suits a high volatility slot, and the presentation mixes darker backgrounds with brighter iconography on the reels, which gives a strange blend of sinister vibe and cosy symbols. It looks sharp enough and keeps the focus on multipliers and sticky setups.

Lows are clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades, paying 1x to 2x for five-of-a-kind. Highs are a book, a scroll, a time glass, and a golden orb, paying 5x to 20x for five. The gold W is the regular wild and pays 20x for five. Red-rimmed Watch Wilds carry multipliers from x2 to x12 and reveal their value when part of a win. The green-rimmed watch is the Sync symbol. Dice act as Echo and Epic Echo specials, and Ghosts are the scatters.

Time Spinners Slot Features

In the base game I relied on Watch Wilds to do the damage. When they connect, they flip to show a multiplier between x2 and x12, and multiple watches add together before applying to the line. A Sync Your Watches symbol can land and set all watch multipliers on the grid to the highest value in view. You can see as many as 10 Watch Wilds in the base game, while the bonus can stretch that to 15, which is where the slot really opens up.

Borrowed Time Bonus Game in Time Spinners

Three Ghost scatters trigger Borrowed Time, and it runs in two parts. The Collect Phase starts with three respins on a stripped reel set. Landing a Watch, a Sync, or an Echo-type symbol resets the counter to three. Watches stick and hold x2 to x12. Sync sets all watches to the current top value. Echo adds +1 to +50 to all watches in a 3x3 area, while Epic Echo multiplies all watches in a 3x3 area by x2 to x10.

When the respins run out, you move to the Payout Phase. Regular symbols return, but the collected Sticky Watches stay in place with their built values carried over. You get at least three payout spins, plus +1 extra for every time you refilled the counter during the Collect Phase. This is where stacked multipliers and synced values can turn a modest setup into a tidy return, especially if the grid carries several decent watch values across key paylines.

Bonus Buy in Time Spinners

Where allowed, the buy button gives two routes. FeatureSpins costs 2x your stake and makes it three times as likely to trigger the bonus, running on a 96.24 RTP profile with medium volatility. The Borrowed Time buy is 100x your stake and runs on a 96.2 RTP profile with high volatility. These buys are region dependent and not available in the UK, so I stuck to the standard spins there. Either way, the watch ecosystem is the key driver.

Win Potential in Time Spinners

The headline figure is 10,000x max win, which lines up with the studio’s bigger hitters. The slot is highly volatile, so the balance can swing while you chase watch setups. The default RTP is 96.19, but there are lower profiles in the wild such as 94.19, 92.41, and 88.40. I also noted a hit rate listed at 41, which explains the steady line hits between leaner stretches. Stake range is broad enough for testing or high-rolling.

Base game pops often hinge on two or three watches adding together, though the Sync hit can send things north in a flash. The bonus carries the real ceiling, as sticky multipliers built in the Collect Phase can stack across lines during the Payout Phase. With up to 15 watches possible in the feature, the grid can snowball fast if Echo and Epic Echo land in useful clusters. Adjustable RTP ranges apply, so I always check the info panel first.

Time Spinners Slot Verdict

I like the core loop: build multipliers, sync them, then cash in. The art direction sits between a sinister backdrop and friendly reel icons, which felt a bit mixed at first, yet it grew on me with the moody audio. It’s a straight shot for multiplier fans, and the two-phase bonus is a tidy way to bank value before the real spins arrive. When the Sync hits at the right time, the screen can swing hard without needing elaborate extras.

My results mirrored what I expected from a high variance Hacksaw build. I often ended the Collect Phase with three to four watches and modest values, usually x2 to x5. Echo appeared now and then, while Epic Echo was rarer in my sessions. The Payout Phase can still pay if lines cooperate, and those extra spins from refills matter. It’s streaky, and that’s the point: the game wants you chasing that one setup where everything aligns and the grid sings.

Strong pluses are the clean multiplier maths, the sticky structure, and a clear path to the 10,000x ceiling. The flip side is the swingy base and the reliance on Echo types to lift watch values meaningfully. RTP ranges mean I always check the version on offer. Overall, Time Spinners lands as a solid multiplier piece with a moody vibe and a bonus that feels fair when it builds, spiky when it doesn’t. I’ll keep it in my rotation.
