Itero Review

Plato and Aristotle were not quite in agreement when it comes to time, as Plato argued that time is the movement of bodies and not a number that measures the movement. Aristotle however, equated time to change, as you cannot be aware of time without change. These are questions you might find yourself pondering when you play Hacksaw’s Itero, which translates to “repeat” from Latin.

The symbols consist of busts of what looks like philosophers and/or gods from the classical era, and the low-key gray color scheme is livened up by their brightly colored backgrounds. Everything revolves around the innovative EchoSpins™ feature, which gives you repeat wins with the possibility of an accumulating multiplier. The feature is key to the 10,000x potential also in both bonus rounds, as multiplier symbols do nothing outside of the feature.

Itero Slot Features

The 5 premium symbol busts pay between 4 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Cerberus (3-headed dog) Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Wild symbol also pays 10x your stake for 5 of a kind, making it the most valuable symbol in the game.

The EchoSpins feature triggers when you land a Hand of Jupiter symbol on a winning spin. The hand will then reveal a number between 1 and 8, which equals the number of EchoSpins awarded. The EchoSpins feature repeats all wins from the triggering spins, and multiplier symbols, if present on the triggering spin, become active during the EchoSpins feature only.

The Additive Multiplier symbols come with values of x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10, and these will be added to the global win multiplier. You can also get Multiplicative Multipliers of x2 or x3, and these will boost the current global win multiplier accordingly. The global multiplier keeps building per EchoSpin, so two x10 additive multipliers will boost the first respin by x20 and the second by x40, and so forth.

The Wrath of Jupiter Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters anywhere in view, and this gives you 10 free spins. Your likelihood of landing the Hand of Jupiter symbols is increased during the feature, and you can also expect a higher number of EchoSpins and larger multipliers than in the base game.

The Gift from the Gods Bonus Round triggers when you land 4 scatters on the same base game spin, and it too comes with 10 free spins. All multiplier symbols you land will be added to the global win multiplier, and the achieved multiplier is then used if the EchoSpins feature triggers. The multiplier resets after an EchoSpins sequence however, and it must thus be built up all over again.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy option. Simply hit the Buy Bonus button, and you can purchase the high volatility Wrath of Jupiter feature for 129x your stake (with an RTP of 96.2 %). The even more volatile Gift from the Gods feature costs 200x your stake, and comes with an RTP of 96.25 %.

Review Summary

Hacksaw Gaming keeps impressing us with every new release, and who would have thought that an online slot could be a deep-dive into classical antiquity with philosophical and time-paradoxical overtones. This is exactly what this highly creative developer has achieved with Itero, and you actually feel smarter after a session, regardless of the monetary outcome. This is a feat few other developers would even dream about, so we applaud Hacksaw for being so unique.

The piano soundtrack is sublime, and it goes perfectly together with the grayish introspective theme. The trademarked EchoSpins feature is a clever innovation, and it’s amazing how simple and casual Hacksaw makes it all seem. Both bonus rounds have their advantages, but the Gift from the Gods round is probably your best bet when it comes to hitting the solid 10,000x win cap. The theme may not appeal to everyone, but this is a highly appreciated effort that’s unlike anything else out there.

If you love Itero Slot you should also try:

Hand of Anubis - is a visually superb ancient Egypt release from Hacksaw, and it comes with a 5x6 cluster pays cascading wins engine. It’s all about the Soul Orb Wild multiplier in the base game, and you can look forward to 2 different bonus rounds for payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

10x Rewind - is a 4ThePlayer installment built around a somewhat similar time-paradoxical concept, and it plays out on 6x4 reels with 4,096 win ways. The Rewind Time Win Spins feature replays base game wins, and these may be boosted by an increasing multiplier for payouts up to 20,000x your stake.

Rocket Reels - is another innovative installment in Hacksaw’s Pocketz range, and it comes with a 7x7 cluster pays grid with cascading wins. Landing 3+ rockets makes them take off to remove symbols and leave a trail of multipliers in their wake. This happens when any number of rockets land in the bonus round, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake.
