What Is Book of Time?

Book of Time takes on one of the slot industry's most oversaturated formats — searching just one casino site for "book of" games turns up over 250 results — and gives it a genuine Hacksaw twist. Canny the Can, the third character in the studio's ongoing mascot lineup after appearances in Pug Life and a revival through Stack 'Em, bounces between time-travel chaos and a tongue-in-cheek money-game vibe, rendered against a bright, impressionist-painting countryside rather than another dusty tomb.

The grid runs on a 5-reel, 4-row layout with 20 fixed paylines, where 3 or more matching symbols landing left to right form a win. The base game keeps things comparatively flat and straightforward, putting the real weight of excitement squarely on the two bonus rounds waiting behind the Clock Man scatter.

It's a Classic! and What Time Is It?

It's a Classic! delivers exactly what fans of the genre expect: a book symbol expands across positions during free spins, revealing matching high-paying symbols in the classic style the format built its reputation on. What Time Is It? takes a genuinely different approach, moving the action into a moody interior filled with clocks and odd artifacts, where a dedicated time-based multiplier mechanic drives the round instead of straightforward symbol expansion.

Bonushunt FeatureSpins and Bonus Buys

Five separate bonus buy options are available where regulations permit, ranging from 3x the stake for the Bonushunt FeatureSpins (which simply improves natural trigger odds) up to 400x for direct entry into the game's more explosive modes. Each pricing tier carries its own volatility and RTP configuration, giving players real, granular control over how they approach a session.

Reaching the full 10,000x ceiling ends the round automatically and awards the maximum payout outright.

RTP, Volatility and the Realistic Odds

Default RTP is 96.13%, with 94.34%, 92.33% and 88.25% configurations also available depending on the operator. Volatility is rated high (4 out of 5), and the base game is genuinely flat between triggers — nearly all the meaningful action concentrates in the two bonus rounds.

The 10,000x max win is achieved through favorable outcomes in either It's a Classic! or What Time Is It?, particularly when the multiplier mechanic in the latter compounds strongly. Bets run $0.10 to $100 per spin.

Our Verdict

Book of Time earns real credit for finding something genuinely fresh within one of the industry's most exhausted formats — rather than another straightforward book-slot reskin, pairing the classic expanding-symbol mode with a second, entirely different multiplier-driven bonus gives the game structural variety most competitors in this genre never attempt. The base game's admittedly flat pacing means nearly everything worthwhile happens in the bonus rounds, so this is best approached by players with the patience to wait for those triggers. A worthwhile, mobile-friendly pick for fans of the format who want something beyond another straight reskin.
