Science Lab – Setup of the Time Machine Slot
There’s a few games scattered throughout the universe of a similar nature to this slot, like Time Machine by Cryptologic, so alike that they even share the same name. This particular real cash experience has an amazing amount of features, five in total, and that’s only the bonus levels and not the base game specials, like wormhole scatters. Time Machine from Ash Gaming is one of the most bonus packed and downright magical slots you’ll play. With five reels, a 5x3 grid and 20 adjustable paylines, you’ll love taking a trip through time and space with the professor and his assistant on the trail of ancient artefacts and big payouts! Pachinko (パチンコ) is a type of mechanical game originating in Japan and is used as both a form of recreational arcade game and much more frequently as a gambling device, filling a Japanese gambling niche comparable to that of the slot machine in Western gambling. Pachinko parlors are widespread in Japan and usually also feature a number of slot machines.
This game is set in a science lab, narrated by a female assistant with an English accent, and features a mad scientist with a passing resemblance to Einstein. While the design of the reels changes as you go through the game, the 20 win lines and 5×3 grid of the reels remains the same. You can bet from 20c and up for the full 20 lines. You will see a gauge for plutonium to the left of the reels, and another labelled ‘inventory’ to the right. These are important for the bonus games.
For the regular line wins, there is one outlier – which pays 10x more than the next biggest prize. This is 10,000 coins, which comes your way for hitting 5 of the wild symbols (the slot logo) on a win-line. You’ll get 1000 coins for 4, 100 for 3, plus any additional wins via these symbols substituting for the other regular ones.
High paying regular symbols are topped by the mad scientist, which is worth 1000 coins for 5. Next comes his female assistant at 500 coins, what looks like the time machine (400), an alarm clock (300) and a book which says ‘antiques guide’ (200). Playing cards ace down to 10 are also in play, creating the smaller wins.
Collecting Plutonium
A stick of green plutonium in a jar is the scatter symbol. This also enables the bonus games. There is a meter to the left of the reels, with 11 spaces. Each time you collect 3 or more jars of plutonium in the same spin, you get 3, 4 or 5 of the bars filled. When you get to the top of the meter, you can enter the time travel bonus games.
If you hit 3 of the bonus symbols (the worm hole designs) before your plutonium meter is filled, then you hear a voice saying ‘3 wormholes, but not enough plutonium’ and other things. This is fairly frequent, which is my one concern in an otherwise entertaining slot.
There is also a scatter win for 3+ plutonium symbols. This is 1x your spin amount for 3, 3x for 4 and 10x for 5.
Time Travel Bonus Games
There are 5 bonus games to get through. These are triggered with 3 worm hole symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 when your plutonium meter is full. You hear the lady speak, and then see a graphic where the ship flies (wobbling) into the spiraling black and white wormhole.
Each of the bonus games is very simple.
First you get to choose from a row of 5 colorful dinosaur eggs. Each one will hatch, and a prize (and a small dinosaur) will be revealed. You only get one prize, so you have to decide whether to keep the reward, or choose another egg.
Next you go to ancient Rome. Here you pick a team for a chariot race – out of 3 possible options. You get a prize based on where they finish. Battleships, with old style wooden ships, is the next bonus game. This one is more interactive. You can choose either to shoot cannons manually, or have this on automatic. You keep shooting ships, getting a cash prize when they sink.
The next bonus shows a 1960’s psychedelic band, from San Francisco. A spotlight scrolls between each member, stopping to reveal a cash prize – along with character saying something, for example ‘far out man’.
There is one final bonus game, which takes place in an antiques auction. For every game, you get to pick one of 3 or 4 artefacts. These include dinosaur eggs, paintings, roman coins and vintage guitars. These are auctioned one at a time, and the winning bid is your prize.
Time Machine takes it's theme from science fiction movies with as the name suggests time travel as the topic. It is a five reel, twenty five line video slot with a free spin bonus game. One of the good feature of this game is that it has a lot of good middle level jackpots.
The Dr What symbol is wild and subs for everything except the wormhole symbols which are scattered. All wins but the scatters pay aligned left to right only. Top jackpot is a big 10,000 coins for five wild Dr What symbols on any active pay line. Even bigger wins are available on the free games.
Second highest pay on Time Machine is 5,000 coins which is quite high considering that 5,000 coins is the top prize on many video slots. To win the 5,000 coin jackpot you need to line up five Time Machine symbols. Other big pays include 2000 coins for four wilds and 1000 coins for the dinosaurs.

The wormhole symbols start the free spins when you get three or more. The scatters pay between 2 and 100 coins so getting five starts the bonus with a nive 2500 coin win. During the 15 free spins all wins are doubled so the top jackpot on a single spin grows to 20,000 coins. Free spins can be re-won.
