Big Time Journey Slot Machine
Some slot machines take players on a journey to one historical epoch. Big Time Journey, on the other hand takes spinners to five different eras throughout the history of the world. Join Arthur as he travels through the ages using a time machine that just happens to be gathering dust in his London attic. This 5-reel, 25-payline video slot by Foxium has a compelling narrative to unfold and a lot of bonus wins are on offer thanks to a round of time travelling free spins and a wild symbol which will pay the game's top jackpot prize of 6,000 credits.
A Slot in Time
Foxium is fast gaining a reputation for producing top notch slot machine themes that are uniquely creative and impressively accomplished. This is no more evident than in this slot machine which defies the rule book by taking players to not just one historical era, but five. So, you can chill out in the Ice Age, try to avoid getting eaten by a dinosaur in the Jurassic period, meet some knights and maids in the Mediaeval times, learn some prim and proper manners in the Victorian age and live out some tough times during World War 1.
Admittedly, the designers behind Big Time Journey could have come up with some more exciting moments in history, perhaps by visiting the golden age of classical antiquity, the European Renaissance or maybe an exotic civilization such as the Ming Dynasty or the Incas. They could have even included a future time-zone. But then again, such chronological themes have been done time and time before.
Despite the choice of time-destinations, the game vividly captures each one with some great graphical dexterity. Plus, the reels are accompanied by your time-travelling companion who will react to winning sequences by jumping for joy – or just by looking indifferent if it's a small win.
Time Travel Bonus
In order to start your journey through time, you will have to locate three of the “Big Time Journey” scatter symbols on the reels. This will initiate a series of free spins with three scatter icons offering 8 free games, four rewarding 15 and five giving 30 free goes. But before the free spins begin, you will have to find out where they will take place. Or perhaps that should be when they will take place...
The time-machine slot is powered by a series of gem symbols, each of which corresponds to a different period in history. Blue gems are for the Ice Age, Green gems indicate the Jurassic period, Pink is World War 1, Purple is the Victorian era and yellow will take spinners to Mediaeval times. Simply take a spin of the gem-wheel to determine where and when you end up in time!
Payout
On your temporal adventures, you will come across many opportunities to align the reel symbols into winning combinations since you can play with anywhere between 1 – 25 paylines. The available line bet options are: 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00. So that makes for a maximum possible stake of 50 coins per spin.
This can be converted into winning prizes by lining up matching symbols across the 5 reels from left to right. This will award a different line bet multiplier value according the how many of which icon appears in a sequence.
The wild symbol is not only the most lucrative paying icon but it will help players in their spinning endeavours by replacing all of the above symbols to complete wins. The only symbol that won't be substituted is the logo scatter icon which doesn't need to appear on paylines to reward free spins. The scatter will also pay a small total bet multiplier when it appears with three paying 2x, four paying 10x and five paying 50x.
