The reels are filled with highly detailed symbols depicting different iconic eras from the past, like gladiator battles, cowboy duals and the moon landing. It seems that the female time traveller is the only thing from the future in this game, at least if you judge from her fancy hairstyle and high-tech clothing. This suits the main feature pretty well, as the Rewind Time Win Spins round is all about the past too.
The visual impression is a bit of a mess at first, and you’ll need a larger screen to appreciate the details. Since re-playing base game wins in the bonus round is what this is all about, it would perhaps have been a good idea to have some base game modifiers to increase the big win chances. Instead, you have to rely on wilds and 4,096 win ways alone, and most of the time the measly base game wins you get are in desperate need of a significant bonus round multiplier to get anywhere close to the20,000xpotential.
Thepink-haired lady time traveller is the wild symbolin this game, and she steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combinations. The wild is not worth anything on its own though, but a line of 6 premiums pay between 4x and 6x your stake.
You trigger the Rewind Win Spins Bonus Round when you land3 Win Spin scatterson reels 1, 3 and 6 on the same spin. You will thenpick one of the triggering scattersto reveal your number of win spins, and you get either5, 7 or 10 free spinsfor starters.
This is where the time-travelling element kicks in, as you will basically replay wins from previous base game spins in the bonus round. Don’t sweat it if you had a dry spell before the feature was triggered though, as this simply means that random wins are generated per win spin instead.
To spice things up a bit, your old repeated wins might be improved by3 different modifiersduring the feature.

The multiplier increases progressively with no upper limit, and landing more than one scatter triggers multiple modifiers at the same time.
We love innovation and creative efforts, and we had a good time testing 10x Rewind from 4ThePlayer. As usual, we’ve whipped together a brief and edited highlights video from our test session, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
You’ve probably heard the saying that ‘history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes’, and this statement sums up the 10x Rewind experience pretty well. As much as we applaud the innovative idea and concept, there are some drawbacks in the execution. For one, the highly detailed premium symbols (and win animations) can be hard to appreciate on a smaller screen, although the mobile Big Reel Portrait Mode amends that issue to a certain degree.
The bonus round triggers once every 200 spins on average, which is a decent hit rate. However, keep in mind that the randomly generated wins can be measly 0.2x scatter prizes, and most of the time you’ll probably not have any significant base game wins to replay anyway. Once the novelty of the whole time travelling concept wears off, or you hit a few features with measly returns, chances are you’ll start looking to future releases instead of revisiting the past.
