Time Lab - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

This is beautifully crafted slot from Spanish designer R Franco Games, offering some fun features in a futuristic game setting. Dr Random and his pal Franky have finally come up with an invention that works in their search for time travel, which has mainly been interrupted by failures and a never ending supply of sandwiches and popcorn.

Played on a 5x3 reel set which generates 30 fixed bet ways, paying left to right, the game has a number of features. These include an expanding wild which will trigger a free spin after checking for any winning lines. There is also a standard wild on reels 1, 3 and 5 which replaces all other symbols apart from the expanding wild, Dr Random and Franky.

When Dr Random appears on the second reel and when fully in view he triggers his bonus game. Franky appears on reel 4 and again when fully in view he triggers his own bonus game. In all there are 10 paying symbols. The 4 high value ones are light bulbs, wrench, screwdriver and cogs, and these are followed by sandwich and popcorn. There are also four card symbols ranging from ace to Jack.

Fans of this designer’s work will find more R Franco demo slots here at Slots Temple, including the R Franco's Triple Mask slot which has a higher RTP and is medium variance.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

Join Dr Random in his garage which doubles as a time lab, as he closes in on his time machine invention, in this futuristic slot from R Franco. The colourful symbols sit on a transparent screen and in the background we glimpse the machines the doctor and his sidekick are using. On the left on a smaller screen are the tools in the doctor’s kit which appear on the reels and are going to help you boost your winnings.

The theme tune is a rhythmic beat adding to the anticipation of the discovery and thrills on offer. If you enjoy this game why not try another slot with a futuristic slot theme of which there are many here at Slots Temple available to play in demo mode.

Time Lab Dr Random Bonus and Franky Bonus

When Dr Random appears in full view on the second reel the bonus game is triggered. For each pat of the machine which appears in a winning line a multiplier will apply and increase. There are five levels in this game and you must reveal a part in each level to progress. Click on a sticky note, but if you reveal a disaster object the game will end. In the Franky Bonus, triggered when Franky appears in full view on reel 4, you must experiment with the machine. If Franky’s cap comes back more or less intact the experiment is a success if another object returns the game ends.

Time Lab Review 

This is a fun game, with a couple of handy bonus games, and two wilds which add to the enjoyment and your bankroll. The drawbacks are the RTP which is low, and the fact that the bet spread is limited. Even so, it should appeal to lots of players, especially those who enjoy games which are driven by a distinct narrative.
