Evolution Crazy Time is a new spin on live dealer RNG games

Crazy Time is now widely available at Evolution Live Casinos. Revealed at ICE 2020, this big wheel live casino game further evolves the popular Dream Catcher concept. The vertical prize wheel makes a welcome return but with some significant changes. 

,Another highlight here is the outstanding game design. With vivid colours and carnivalesque presentation, this may be one of Evolution's best studios yet. To keep the action flowing, gameshow style presenters fire up the chat with entertaining banter.

For a full overview of Evolution Gaming's new game, please read our complete and definitive playing guide below.

Betting on Crazy Time is easy - especially if you are familiar with Dream Catcher or Monopoly Live. The aim of the game is to guess on which segment the big prize wheel will stop. There are a total of eight segments you can bet on during the game with 54 sections on the game wheel in total.

Once the betting round has finished (which lasts around 13 seconds), the dealer will spin the wheel. If the wheel lands on a bonus game - then the event will carry out before the next spin occurs.

Segments 1, 2, 5 and 10 will award a prize equal to the segment number. If you bet and win on one of the four bonus games, then you will be able to take part in the round.

Note: If a bonus round activates - and you didn't bet, then you will watch the action unfold with no prizes awarded.

The Top Slot of the game has the chance to add a random multiplier to segments or the bonus games. This multiplier can be up to 50x for some enticing winning opportunities.

Like Monopoly Live, Crazy Time features special bonus rounds that can activate if the wheel lands on that segment. There are four bonus rounds in all - making this one of Evolution Live Gaming's most feature-packed games yet. Here's a short breakdown of each bonus:

The Cash Hunt game plays out like a classic arcade gallery shooting game. There are a total of 108 multipliers in the game, each covered with special symbols. If this bonus activates, you will need to choose where you think the best multipliers are located. This bonus is individual for each bettor - meaning you will win something different from another player.

In this bonus game, a coin is flipped - with the winning outcome winning a specific multiplier. The coin has two sides: red and blue. A random multiplier will be generated for each side - whatever side wins will grant you that multiplier. This bonus has the highest chance of appearing as it covers four segments - and you are guaranteed to win a prize.

Inspired by the classic Japanese arcade game - this bonus takes players to a giant Pachinko walled covered in pegs. A puck will be dropped from the top and will make its way down to the bottom of the game, where huge multipliers await. If a puck lands in the 'DOUBLE' section, then the multipliers will be doubled, and a new puck will travel through the machine. The maximum winning value in this bonus round is 10,000x your total stake bet.

This is where you have the chance to win 20,000x your total staked bet. The Crazy Time bonus only has one segment - so it's incredibly rare to activate. When the game starts, you will be taken to a virtual prize wheel filled with multipliers. This wheel also features Double and Triple segments. All you have to do is select where you think the wheel will stop from Blue, Green or Yellow. If the wheel lands on Double or Triple, then the wheel is re-spun with all multipliers increase by the value.

The best Crazy Time strategy is to bank on the bonus games. Missing out on one of these bonuses can be A) demoralising and B) make you miss out on a tonne of potential winnings. It's best always to have a bet placed on the bonus rounds. There are a couple of ways you can approach this:

Place a bet on the one segment alongside the Crazy Time bonus. With this bet, you qualify for the best prizes in the game if the wheel lands on the bonus. We are also covering ourselves with that one segment bet. You will likely make a loss playing this strategy, but it will eventually pay off when you do land a bonus. However, be prepared for a long wait as you hold out for the feature.

For this strategy, we are just going to bet on all of the bonus rounds - not worrying about the standard game bets. Why should you do this? The bonus rounds are by far the most valuable bets in the game with prizes of 10,000x to 20,000x to play for. With this in mind, you will want to bank on the bonuses.

For this method, bet on all available segments in the game. This strategy achieves a couple of goals. For one, you are guaranteed to win something on a spin - whether it be a segment prize - or one of the bonus rounds. And two: this is the best way to capitalise on multipliers - as you are covering all game bases. 

It sounds great on paper, but this strategy will be a loss-maker most of the time. You will quickly eat at your bankroll - with the only way to recoup your losses the rare bonus round win.
