Crazy Time

You bet on one of six outcomes: the numbers 1, 2, 5 or 10, or one of the four bonus games. The wheel spins and whichever segment the pointer lands on is the winning bet. Numbers pay their face value. Bonus segments take everyone who backed them into a separate round.

Above the wheel sits the Top Slot, which spins at the same time. It pairs a random bet spot with a random multiplier, and if the two line up with a bet you have placed, that multiplier applies to your win. It is the reason a flat number bet can occasionally pay far more than its face value — and it is decided before the wheel stops, not after.

Each bonus is a distinct game, not a variation on the wheel.

• Coin Flip — a coin with a blue side and a red side is flipped, each side carrying its own multiplier. Whichever lands face up is what you are paid.
• Cash Hunt — a shooting gallery with a large screen of 108 multipliers hidden behind symbols. The symbols shuffle, you pick a target before time runs out, and you are paid whatever was behind it.
• Pachinko — a puck is dropped down a wall of pegs and pays whatever it lands in at the bottom. If it lands on DOUBLE, every multiplier along the bottom doubles and the puck drops again.
• Crazy Time — the headline round, played on a huge virtual wheel behind a red door. You choose a coloured flipper before the spin, and the flipper you picked decides which result is yours.

Everyone who bet on that bonus plays the same round, but results are individual — in Cash Hunt you pick your own target, and in Crazy Time your flipper choice can differ from everyone else's.

Crazy Time punishes one habit in particular: covering everything. Betting all six spots every round guarantees you win something on every spin and still loses money over time, because the segments are weighted so no combination of them is free. The number segments appear far more often than the bonus segments, which is exactly why the bonuses pay more.

The honest way to play it is to decide how many rounds you will play before you start. Rounds run continuously and each one takes under a minute, so a session runs up far more spins than a table game would in the same time. Evolution does not publish a return figure on its own site, and the return differs by bet type in any case — the wheel, not the marketing, tells you which bets are rare.

If the bonus rounds are what appeal, Crazy Coin Flip and Crazy Pachinko build whole games out of two of them. Funky Time is the closest thing to a successor. If you would rather play a real table than a show, the live dealer floor has blackjack and roulette with a dealer and cards.

All of it settles in rand. Funding is covered on the payment methods page, and it is worth reading how to set a session limit before playing a format this fast.
