Time Machine Review
The time traveling element isn't very developed in Time Machine. You get a retro steampunk visual presentation, with some time-related machines on display on the 5x3 starting grid. It’s more of a grid expanding journey, and things are kept simple.
The base game is all about the Pay Rise Reels mechanic, expanding the grid by +1 row for consecutive respin wins. Maxing out the grid with +4 rows does not happen very often though, as this is how you trigger the bonus round. The good news is that the grid is maxed out with 16,807 win ways in the feature, giving you a fair chance at cracking the 27,471x potential.
Time Machine Features
The premium symbols pay between 3 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations. The wild holds no value of its own however, and the defining feature of this game is definitely the Pay Rise Reels mechanic.
The Pay Rise mechanic triggers whenever you land a winning combo, and this expands the grid with +1 extra row. You’re also awarded a respin on the expanded grid, and you can expand the grid with up to 7 rows in total by landing consecutive wins on the respins you get. This increases the number of win ways from 243 to 16,807 at the most, and everything resets on a non-winning spin.
The Bonus Round triggers when you max out the grid with 7 rows, and this gives you 7 free spins. You get one extra spin for each +1 symbol you land during the feature, and the bonus round grid is always maxed out with 7 rows and 16,807 ways to win.

Review Summary
The steampunk retro visuals reminded us a bit of another game, but Time Machine is on the simpler side both visually and featurewise. The defining Pay Rise Reels mechanic gives you a lot of “premature” grid reset moments with a somewhat pause before you can hit the spin button again, which might induce a certain fatigue in some players.
Sure, with 16,807 win ways, and even less than that, you can crack the solid 27,471x potential from a single spin. How likely that is is another question, of course, and there is no info provided about max win probability. Surely, your chances increase when the grid is always maxed out in the bonus round, but it would have been nice with some time-traveling related extras as well. Overall, a mediocre effort.
