Time plays an important role in everyday life, but it has also inspired some interesting ideas in the world of online slots. From mysterious clocks and ticking countdowns to machines capable of travelling through time, developers have found different ways to turn a familiar concept into a gaming experience.
We’ve picked out three slots that put time at the centre of their themes and gameplay. Each approaches the concept differently, with its own visual style, features and mechanics.
Book of Time – Hacksaw Gaming
Hacksaw Gaming’s Book of Time takes the familiar “Book of” slot formula and gives it a distinctive cartoon makeover. Starring Canny the Can, the game combines vintage 1930s-inspired animation with pocket watches, mysterious symbols and a slightly eerie atmosphere.
Played on a 5×4 grid with 20 fixed paylines, Book of Time features two different bonus rounds. The traditional Book of Time Bonus introduces expanding symbols during free spins, while the Canny the Can Bonus features persistent multiplier wilds that can combine for larger payouts.
With very high volatility and a maximum win potential of 10,000x the stake, the game is designed around the possibility of substantial but infrequent wins.
Time Spinners – Hacksaw Gaming
Hacksaw Gaming takes a darker approach to the theme of time with Time Spinners, a supernatural slot set inside a gloomy stone chamber filled with ghosts, glowing hourglasses and mysterious relics. Unlike the colourful cartoon world of Book of Time, this game uses pocket watches and enchanted symbols as part of its central mechanics.
Played on a 5×4 grid with 10 fixed paylines, Time Spinners revolves around multiplier wilds and its two-stage Borrowed Time bonus. During the Collect Phase, special symbols are gathered and locked onto the reels before their effects come into play during the Payout Phase. Pocket Watch wilds can carry multipliers, while Echo and Sync symbols can increase their value.
With high volatility and a maximum win potential of 10,000x the stake, Time Spinners offers the possibility of substantial payouts, although significant wins can be infrequent.

Beer O’Clock – Spinomenal
After exploring mysterious clocks and supernatural time mechanics, Beer O’Clock from Spinomenal takes a more light-hearted approach. Inspired by the atmosphere of a traditional beer festival, the slot brings together colourful symbols, stacked reels and a lively celebration theme.
The game features five reels in a 3-4-4-4-3 layout with 30 paylines. Its main features include stacked symbols, scatter symbols and free spins, offering a more traditional slot experience compared with the multiplier-heavy mechanics found in Book of Time and Time Spinners.
With its festival setting and straightforward features, it provides a different take on the theme of time to round off our selection.
