How Crazy Time Works

Crazy Time is a live game show made by Evolution and launched in 2020. It is more than just a lucky spin of the wheel: the appeal comes from a fixed 54-segment layout, four bonus games and a top slot that can multiply payouts.

The Luck of the Wheel: Odds in Crazy Time

Crazy Time plays on a vertical wheel with 54 segments. The most likely outcome is a 1, with a full 21 of 54 segments marked for it. The rarest result is the Crazy Time bonus, with 1 segment in 54.

The full segment breakdown:

• 21 x 1
• 13 x 2
• 7 x 5
• 4 x 10

The other nine segments start the four bonus games:

• 4 x Coin Flip
• 2 x Cash Hunt
• 2 x Pachinko
• 1 x Crazy Time

Number Bets and Payouts

Crazy Time offers eight betting spots, divided between four numbers and four bonuses. If the wheel stops on a number segment, players who bet on that number win. The payout is that number to 1:

• 1 pays 1 to 1 (even money)
• 2 pays 2 to 1
• 5 pays 5 to 1
• 10 pays 10 to 1

To win, you must pick the number before the wheel spins.

How the Bonuses Work

When the wheel stops on a bonus segment, that bonus game starts. The key fact: only players who bet on that bonus take part.

Each bonus game pays its players a multiplier of their bonus bet. The four games are Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko and Crazy Time.

The Top Slot Multiplier

On top of the wheel is a further layer: the Top Slot. Before each spin, it selects at random one of the eight betting spots. That selected spot can then get a multiplier on its payout if the wheel stops there.

Why Crazy Time’s Engaging

Crazy Time’s graphics are appealing, but they’re not the secret sauce. The core is how the bonus rounds and multipliers keep the wheel appealing. Nine in 54 segments are bonuses. It marries a numbers wheel with bonus games and makes it a live-streamed show, where you place number and bonus bets and hope the Top Slot lends a boost.
