Because he didn't have free time he couldn't say "goodbye".
Could you tell me please if it is correct to call the clauses "having no free time" and "winning the game" the reduced clauses?

As far as I know the reuced non-finite clause is a clause that is the part of the full clause.
For example, "standing near the car" in "The man who was standing near the car was holding the newspaper"
