The hero of the hour and saviour of the day is a 1920s explorer with pilot goggles perched atop his handsome face. This was a decade when the earth’s final uncharted territories – the Amazon; the North and South Poles – were being put on the map. The protagonist may be straight from the early 20th century, but his fabulous time machine is straight out of the 23rd (or whichever century it is when they perfect the art of time travel). This is borne out by the game symbol that depicts a futuristic city. The rest of the action unfolds in the past however, with the Mayans just one of the ancient civilisations to get the time traveller treatment.

The drama takes place across 5 reels and a maximum of 50 lines. Across the bottom of the screen, makers Geco have positioned a prominent spin button along with auto spin and bet level controls. The rest of the displays – stake, win and balance – you’ll find at the top of the screen. The total bet can set anywhere from €0.50 to €50, providing plenty of scope for playing as conservatively or liberally as you like. Set your total bet, hit Spin or Auto Spin and you’re off.

The game’s basic symbols, J, Q, K, A, are designed in a metallic finish, as if part of your fabulous time machine. You can make out the rest of the machine in the background, comprising a series of cogs and gears whose function is to transport you in an instant to any year you choose. With the bet level set at €0.50, the maximum win for matching 5 of these symbols is €1.20. With the bet level set at €50, it’s €120.

The next set of playing symbols is a blend of the anachronistic and the futuristic. There’s a 23rd century city, complete with towering geodomes and spacecraft orbiting. There’s the coliseum, still under construction as a Roman legion marches past. There’s a castle, some time in the Middle Ages, under siege from an invading army. And finally, there are the game’s two protagonists: Time Gamble’s steampunk explorer and his trusty sidekick, a glamorous looking lady of some style.

Scatter, comprising the control panel from your time machine with its date settings displayed in Roman numerals, has the power to secure you 15, 20 or 25 free spins. Any wins you secure during free spins will receive a 2x multiplier, except for wild wins which are multiplied 4x.

Once the free spins have been completed, you’ll be presented with 3 options: collect your win, replay the free spins or collect a mystery win. Elect for the latter and you’ll be awarded a random prize of 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 x the total bet. Choose the second option – to replay free spins – and the bonus feature will begin all over again. If you’re disappointed with the wins you’ve notched up during free spins, this is the option to plump for. Be aware that you can only replay your spins once however; after that, you’re obliged to stick with what you’ve got.

When the time gamble feature is activated, click on the Gamble button to start this bonus game. At this point, the dial on your time travelling machine’s dashboard will spin, ushering in a win with a 2, 4, 6 or 12 x multiplier. Click Take Win to transfer the sum into your balance and resume the main game.

The other prime symbol to spin for is wild, represented by a whirling vortex through which your time machine must pass on its journey through the ages. Wild substitutes for any of the regular symbols except for scatter. When you score a win of 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols, with 1 or more of them completed by wild, you’ll be awarded a 2x multiplier. And that’s all there is to know about this Geco game.

Feature-rich and blessed with a beguiling bonus game, Time Gamble is a top-notch slot that’s well worth your time.
