Turkey Time Slot Machine

A classic slot machine with any unusual twist, Turkey Time is a 3 reel, single payline title from the team at WGS Technology the includes supplementary payouts, prize multipliers and a bonus feature.

Themed around the Thanksgiving holiday, Turkey Time provides a fairly unique aesthetic for a retro slot machine, making it far more eye-catching than many of the other classic games in the WGS Technology catalogue. There’s also a top prize of 2,400 coins for players to shoot for when they’re playing at the maximum coin amount, meaning the slot offers a pretty generous return to players.

Pilgrim’s Choice

Just like the other classic slots in WGS Technology’s gaming portfolio, Turkey Time is an incredibly straightforward game to play. With just one active payline, players will simply have to decide how many coins to wager and how much those coins will be worth. Between 1 and 3 coins are available and sizes range from $0.01-$10.00, meaning the slot can be played for a maximum of $30 per spin.

As Turkey Time features three tiered payout tables, we’d recommended always playing with the maximum three coins selected and then simply adjusting the coin size in accordance with your bankroll. This will give you access to a the slot’s maximum 2,400 coin prize, the bonus feature and a couple of extra payout options, making it more than worth the small additional outlay each spin.

With three coins in play, payouts in Turkey Time start at four coins for any pumpkin pie icon that appears on the central row, while the pilgrim hat wild symbols not only serve as the game’s jackpot icon, but also double or quadruple the value of winning paylines when one or two are substituted.

Time to Give Thanks

For once when reviewing the graphics of a WGS Technology classic slot machine, we’re able to give thanks; thanks, that is, to the designers for finally taking a theme and exploring it to its full potential. In Turkey Time, this manifests itself in the form of pilgrim’s hats, leaves and slices of pumpkin pie replacing the conventional cherries and lucky sevens on the reels, though BAR logos do still appear.

The slot itself also styled differently from other retro WGS Technology titles, with a custom-designed machine featuring an Autumnal colour palette to reflect the season changing from fall to winter. Further graphical tweaks are added courtesy of a special pick-and-click bonus round, which opens up a new screen where players will have to choose from nine turkey symbols to unveil a cash amount.

All in all, this makes Turkey Time a far more immersive slot experience than other similarly-designed classic titles, though the sound effects are still somewhat lacking in variety or any unique charm.

Gobble up Some Prizes

When playing with the maximum three coins available, players will have access to Turkey Time’s unique bonus feature. Activated whenever a turkey symbol appears anywhere on the slot’s central row, players will be transported to a new screen where they must pick an icon to reveal a cash prize.

All told, players have four picks during this feature and can choose to accept the amount they reveal or discard it in favour of selecting a new icon. This process continues until all four picks have been made, at which point players have no choice but to accept the prize amount they have uncovered.

Although the slot does not reveal exactly what prizes are available during this feature, the very fact that there is a bonus round available at all makes Turkey Time a far more interesting slot to play and results in far more winning opportunities for players. This, coupled with the enhanced jackpot prize makes playing the slot with the maximum number of coins selected at all times virtually a necessity.

Definitely Not a Turkey

Although Turkey Time adheres to the fundamentals of a retro slot machine, it is somewhat refreshing to see that the game’s designers have done a little more with the theme and included a bonus round to keep players interested. Yes, the maximum regular jackpot is smaller than on other classic slots in the WGS Technology range, but payouts come around much more frequently and players will find that the winnings collected in the bonus game make it a more generous title overall.
