About this Slot
Borrowed Time is a Wild West-themed slot from Paperclip Gaming with an RTP of 96.02%, medium volatility and a maximum win of 5,000x. The game uses a 3-4-4-4-4-3 reel set with tumbling reels that form winning combinations from three or more matching symbols across a non-traditional payline structure.
The wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols except the bonus symbol. Winning combinations trigger tumbling reels, which remove matched symbols and allow new symbols to fall into their place, potentially creating consecutive winning spins in a single turn.
Activator Spin is triggered when an activator symbol lands in a glowing area on the reels. During this feature, the global multiplier increases and wild symbols are spawned on the reels. A clock meter tracks progress during Activator Spin, with the meter's advancement driving the spawning of additional wilds.
Rewind Bonus is triggered by landing four or more bonus symbols. Four bonus symbols award 10 free spins, five bonus symbols award 12 free spins, and six bonus symbols award 15 free spins. During the Rewind Bonus, tumble wins increase the clock meter, which continues to influence wild spawning across the feature.
Three bonus buy options are available. Extra Chance costs 2.5x the bet and increases the chance of triggering bonus features. Activator Spin costs 25x the bet and directly triggers the Activator Spin feature. Rewind Bonus costs 100x the bet and directly triggers the Rewind Bonus with four bonus symbols.
