Canny the Can and the Book of Time Slot Game | Hacksaw Gaming Slots

If you’ve been playing slots and scratch cards for a while, you might recognise the little yellow chap that appears in the Canny the Can and the Book of Time slot from Hacksaw Gaming.

Canny the Can has been revived from the studio, one of the original characters that appeared in their very first games. And it looks as if he’s come bearing gifts, as this slot has the potential to pay out up to x10,000.

In a nod to Canny’s past, the Book of Time slot has an unusual, almost retro design. The backdrop is an oil canvas painting depicting a beautiful countryside scene. There’s a textured, antique look to the artwork with the cartoon figure of Canny jiggling around on top, his bright yellow body in stark contrast!

The board is set in a timber-effect frame and contains a 5×4 grid and 20 paylines. Betting is available from 0.10 but can be increased to the maximum of 100.00 total per spin.

At 96.13%, the RTP is slightly above average and pairs with a reasonably high volatility. This means that if the game plays out as predicted, there’s likely to be long periods where you’re left admiring the scenery while waiting for a win.

Games Features

The basic playing card royals make up the low pays, and have an elegant, faded design. The high pays are a series of Halloween-style, witchy symbols, including a wand, a witch’s hat, a bloodied knife, a serpent, and a shadowy mouse figure.

The book symbol is the wild, and this can substitute for any of the low or high pays. It may not be immediately apparent, but this is a “Book of…” type of slot, so the book symbol also doubles up as the scatter. If you land three or more of the book, you’ll unlock the It’s a Classic! bonus feature.

During It’s a Classic! players will receive 10-20 free spins and between 1-3 special symbols. The special symbol is selected at random and acts more like a scatter. If three land anywhere on the board, they’ll spread out to cover the full reel.

During this feature, the book isn’t a wild symbol and won’t count in any special symbol combinations. If you land three books during the feature, you’ll retrigger the bonus and receive five more free spins plus one extra special symbol.

Back in the base game, there is a second scatter symbol, an animated timepiece known as Clock Man. Land three or more to unlock the What Time Is It? bonus round which will award ten free spins.

During these free spins, a clock will appear above reels 2-4 showing a different time on each turn. If a clock activator symbol lands on one or any of these reels, wild multiplier clocks expand from the top of the reel up to the clock activator symbol. The value of the multipliers will be decided by the time showing on the clock at the top of the reel.
