Time Machine Creator

Invention takes pride of place in Capecod Gaming slots – the workshop of Albert Einstein provided the setting for their excellent Genius slot, and players are invited to return to the laboratory in their latest release: Time Machine Creator. Once created, the titular time machine bonus round transports players to four unique eras, each with its own variation on free spins.

Theme

The reels are set in what looks to be a cross between a tech hobbyist’s basement and Frankenstein’s laboratory: electric currents run wild all around the scene, and pieces of electronics are wired wildly in every direction, while an eerie, purple sky stands above it all. Gaming symbols include the inventor himself, a round piece of machinery, what looks to be a lamp glowing with purple, green, and red lights, a sign of warning of the presence of lasers, and a welding mask, as well as the playing card symbols ace through jack. The finished time machine acts as scatter, and a set of blueprints acts as wild, while also paying out this game’s top prize of 5000x for five-of-a-kind. A mystery symbol is also available during free spins, adding advantageous features such as extra free spins and win multipliers. A funkier-than-average soundtrack provides an easy, pleasant gaming atmospohere, while the animated inventor stands to the side of the reels, watching and occasionally reacting as gameplay unfolds.

Betting Options and Functions

Capecod Gaming has an excellent reputation for attention to detail in its slots, a thing more important than ever when scientific discovery is at stake. There are 25 fixed paylines, with bet per line variable from 0.01–1.00. This yields an overall per-spin betting range of 0.25–25.00 times the betting currency. Autospins are available for up to 1,000 spins at a time, though players should use caution before stepping away from the game, as there are no protections in place for loss limits. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is slightly above the industry average at 95.45%.

Features

This slot’s centerpiece is its innovate Bonus Time feature. The appearance of five scatters anywhere on the reels sets this bonus in motion – immediately thereafter, players are transported to one of four different time periods at random, with the number of free spins awarded also selected by chance. Each time period has its own unique setting, bonus elements, as well as a unique design. For example, one such setting is the year 1977: the mad scientist appears in full disco gear, and the mystery symbol adds additional free spins each time it appears.

Our Take

Though Capecod Gaming has consistently high standards for its slot releases, Time Machine Creator’s unique approach to free spins sets it apart from the competition in a compelling way. The bonus feature can take a while to hit, but the extra entertainment is worth waiting for.
