Book of Time

A familiar face appears from the popular Stack Em game, with Canny the Can becoming the star of his very own slot online. This release was created with a retro feel but also incorporates a host of modern features. Another aspect of this slot that is impressive is the variety of smooth animations, with each of the symbols seamlessly dropping into place, causing a light clacking noise. Of course, the main character also appears on the right of the board, bobbing in time with the background music. 

Canny the Can and the Book of Time was produced by Hacksaw, a company that tends to put out slots periodically while focusing intensely on the quality before release. In the past, they have created some notable titles that include the likes of Buffalo Stack 'n' Sync, Wanted Dead Or A Wild, and Dork Unit. Of course, they also created Stack Em, with this game acting as a sequel of sorts. 

The regular 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols are first up in Canny the Can and the Book of Time. Next are a variety of premium symbols, displayed as a wand, a hat, a crow, a snake's head, and a mouse. These can award players with a maximum potential win of 50x, 50x, 75x, 75x, and 150x respectively, should five create a matching combination.

In terms of special symbols, there are two scatter symbols that are linked to their own bonus modes. One is shown as a clock, while the other is a book. There is also a multiplier symbol, simply shown as an 'X'.

The main bonus can be triggered in Canny the Can and the Book of Time if three or more book scatter icons appear in view. Landing 3, 4, or 5 of these symbols will award players with ten free spins and one special symbol, 15 free spins, and two special symbols, or 20 free spins with three special symbols, in that order.

For anyone that has played 'Book' themed slots in the past, this bonus mode will likely be familiar. At the start of the round, the special symbol(s) are selected at random. Should these appear on three or more reels simultaneously, they will expand and appear as fully stacked symbols. In addition to this, paylines are ignored during this bonus mode for stacked symbols, allowing matching combinations to be made across the board. Should three or more scatter icons appear, another five free spins will be awarded.

Another free spins bonus within this slot is known as 'What Time Is It?' and can be triggered if three clock symbols drop into any position. In this mode, the three middle reels will contain a clock, with the time changing between each spin. 

If an 'X' symbol appears, the time on the clock will be turned into a multiplier, with wilds appearing on every icon above the 'X'. Should a matching combination occur, the corresponding multiplier will be applied. It's also possible for a combination to form that includes 2 or 3 of these multiplier wild symbols, in which case they will be added up and applied to any potential winnings. It's worth mentioning that all of the bonuses in this game can also be bought.

This slot incorporates a character from Stack Em that many punters thought was interesting. Canny the Can and the Book of Time is also loaded with features, with a rather unique concept being used in the 'What Is The Time?' bonus mode.
