Timelines (Northern Lights Gaming) Review

There are many theories floating around about parallel universes and timelines, and it seems reasonable to assume that Northern Lights Gaming has allowed themselves to be inspired by such lofty concepts when they came up with the idea that turned into Timelines slot. The gemstone-infused grid is set against a cosmic wormhole backdrop, and each spin is captured and placed like a thumbnail picture above the main grid.

The game can draw up to 15 symbols from up to 5 of the most recent past spins to help you out, but only when the clock symbol appears. This is the big innovation this game revolves around, and you get even more of this in the bonus round. Multiplier symbols can boost your wins as well, and you can land Epic Strike scatter prizes up to 4,000x your stake. Timelines is definitely an unusual scatter jackpot release, and it’s a must try for fans of time traveling.

The premium symbols pay between 2 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and there is no Wild symbol in this game. You get multiplier symbols though, and these will combine to boost any win present at the same time. Each multiplier symbol can go as high as x5 in the base game, but they are increased to a maximum of x10 in the bonus round.

A snapshot is taken after each spin, and the result is stored in the Timeline above the main grid. The timeline can hold up to 5 such snapshots of past spins, and each new spin moves the snapshots one step to the left. Whenever you land the clock symbol, up to 15 symbols from past spins are transferred to the main grid. The snapshot of past reels are saved for each bet level.

Epic Strike symbols can also be pulled back from the past, and these land you instant prizes up to 4,000x your stake. More precisely, you win 1x, 3x, 10x, 30x, 80x, 200x, 1,000x or 4,000x your stake, respectively, when you land 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 epic strike diamonds anywhere in sight.

The Bonus Round triggers when 3 wormhole scatters land anywhere in view, and you get 10 free spins. You get more frequent clock symbols, as well as increased and more frequent multiplier symbols, during the bonus round, but other than that the feature plays out like the base game.

You get to see the Timeline Bonus feature in action plenty of times in the base game, before we trigger the bonus round around 2 minutes into the 4:26-minute highlights video. The feature plays out for the remainder of the video, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

While Timelines is not the first slot implementing a sort of time-travel concept into the gameplay, Northern Lights Gaming has still come up with an original feature to spin everything around. The visual presentation is not the most impressive thing about this release for sure, but it gets the job done. Getting symbols from “the past” back into play is kind of fun, at least for a while until the novelty wears off. Then you’re basically left with a somewhat unusual instant jackpot release.

We like that Epic Strike symbols can also be brought back from past spins, and this can land you instant jackpots up to 4,000x your stake. Everything is taken up a notch in the bonus round, with more frequent timeline triggers and higher and more frequent multiplier symbols. The multiplier symbols occupy prime “reel estate” though, as they are not wilds. The 9,500x potential is solid enough, but we didn’t really feel like coming back for more after our test session.

10x Rewind - is built around a somewhat similar time travel concept, and this 4ThePlayers release plays out on 6x4 reels with 4,096 ways to win. The Rewind Time Win Spins bonus round replays past base game wins, boosted by an increasing multiplier. You can land instant cash prizes as well, and win up to 20,000x your stake.

Itero - is inspired by classical antiquity, and this Hacksaw release is spun around the innovative EchoSpins feature. It basically repeats wins with the possibility of an increasing multiplier per respin. Everything is enhanced in both bonus rounds, and this can lead to payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

Joker Times - is not really about time travel, but this Kalamba installment comes with instant scatter prizes up to 2,000x your stake. The number of future free spins is increased per paid spin via the K-Boost system, and the bonus round comes with 3 levels and a 21,000x max win potential.
