Crazy Time FAQ

A live-dealer casino game show streamed 24/7 by Evolution (Evolution AB, Stockholm). A presenter spins a vertical money wheel with 54 segments while a two-reel Top Slot spins above it, and four bonus games open when the wheel stops on a bonus segment. Evolution built it on its earlier Dream Catcher wheel. This is an unofficial fan site; official rules live in the game's in-client help.

Evolution's press release dates the launch to 1 July 2020, after a preview at ICE London in February 2020 and about a year of development; Evolution called it the most expensive game it had ever produced. In December 2020 it won Innovation in Casino Entertainment at the SBC Awards, the only award we can verify for the game itself.

Fifty-four: 21 segments of 1, 13 of 2, 7 of 5 and 4 of 10, plus 4 Coin Flip, 2 Cash Hunt, 2 Pachinko and a single Crazy Time segment. A number pays its face value with your stake returned on top, so one unit on 10 returns 11 units. The pointer that marks the result is called the flapper. See the full wheel layout.

Evolution says only that the game streams 24/7 from a "vibrant studio". Third-party sources place the main stream in Riga, Latvia. Localised tables come from Malta (Crazy Time Italia), Philadelphia, New Jersey, Southfield in Michigan and São Paulo. Evolution publishes no presenter roster; presenters rotate in shifts, and any named host list online is unverified.

Nine of the 54 segments are bonuses, so about one spin in six, or 16.67%; Evolution's wording is "approximately every sixth spin". Droughts are normal: the chance of no bonus in six straight spins is 33.5%, in 20 spins 2.6%, and in 30 spins 0.42%, roughly once per 237 spins.

Evolution states a theoretical return to player of 94.41% to 96.08% depending on the bet. In the international rules number 1 returns 96.08%, 2 returns 95.95%, 5 returns 95.78%, 10 returns 95.73%, Coin Flip 95.70%, Cash Hunt 95.27%, Crazy Time 94.41% and Pachinko 94.33%. A second official variant for some regulated markets lists slightly higher bonus figures. RTP is a long-run average, never a promise about a session. Full RTP tables.

House edge is 100% minus RTP: 3.92% on number 1, rising to 5.59% on the Crazy Time bet and 5.67% on Pachinko in the international rules. Expected loss is the house edge times everything you stake, so betting speed matters as much as bet size: one dollar on number 1 loses about 3.9 cents per spin, around $1.76 an hour at 45 spins per hour.

A two-reel mini-game above the wheel: reel one shows a bet spot, reel two a multiplier from 2x up to 50x. It counts only if the two align on the centre line and the wheel then stops on that spot. On a number it multiplies the payout; on a bonus it multiplies every value inside the bonus before play.

The Crazy Time bonus wheel is capped at 20,000x and Pachinko at 10,000x (Wizard of Odds says 20,000x for Pachinko; we follow Evolution's rules). Coin Flip can reach 5,000x, but only with a 50x Top Slot. Cash Hunt's 500x board times a 50x Top Slot gives 25,000x, which has been hit. Every bonus is listed as paying up to €500,000, and each table's bet-limit panel caps winnings per round.

No. Everyone at the table can watch a bonus game, but only players with a bet on that bonus spot take part and win. The same goes for the Top Slot: a big multiplier on Pachinko pays nothing to anyone without a chip on Pachinko. That is why some players spread small bets across the bonus spots, at the cost of a higher house edge.

No. Cash Hunt shows a wall of 108 multipliers, 5x to 500x before any Top Slot boost, then hides them behind symbols and shuffles them. Each player aims their own cannon during the countdown; choose nothing and a spot is picked at random. You win whatever sat under your target, so two players in the same bonus can end up with very different results.

The puck drops from a central zone down a pegged wall onto one of 16 multipliers. Land on DOUBLE and every multiplier is doubled and the puck is dropped again, repeating until it hits a value; once all values reach 10,000x, DOUBLE is replaced by a 10,000x multiplier. A Rescue Drop can also re-drop after a 2x, 3x or 4x, raising lower values to that amount.

It makes no difference. The wheel behind the red door has 64 segments of multipliers plus DOUBLE and TRIPLE, and each of the three flappers stops on a random segment. Evolution's site lists them as green, blue and yellow, though one official rules PDF says red, blue and yellow. Hit DOUBLE or TRIPLE and all values are multiplied and the wheel re-spins for your group, up to the 20,000x cap.

Two records are worth separating. Biggest multiplier: 25,000x in Cash Hunt on 11 December 2022, sharing EUR 2,815,169 among 5,512 players according to CasinoScores, tied on 21 June 2025 per Tracksino. Biggest total payout: EUR 34.5 million on a 10,000x Pachinko, posted by Evolution on X on 28 June 2024. The full 20,000x Crazy Time bonus landed on 9 February 2026, paying EUR 16,909,885 to 5,630 winners per CasinoScores.

No strategy changes the house edge; betting patterns only change the variance. Betting 1 and 2 covers 34 of 54 segments and stretches a bankroll in time, bonus-only play loses the whole stake about five spins in six, and covering all eight spots still loses on roughly 76% of spins without a Top Slot boost. Martingale needs base bet times (2^N minus 1) to survive N losses: $10 becomes $10,230 for ten. Full strategy guide.

No. The presenter spins a physical wheel and drops the Pachinko puck by hand but cannot force a segment, and Evolution states that every spin is independent and random. Evolution's brands page lists a Malta Gaming Authority licence and, via Evolution Malta Holdings, a Great Britain Gambling Commission licence. Public trackers' long-run tallies sit within about a point of the 54-segment maths.

No. There is no official Crazy Time Telegram group, we know of no official Discord, and every spin is independent, so any app or group claiming 80% or better prediction accuracy is making a mathematically impossible claim. Fans widely flag them as scams. Trackers such as Tracksino and CasinoScores show what has already happened, not what comes next. Never share casino logins with anyone. Where the real community lives.

Betting time is 15 seconds. Limits are set per table by each operator and change from time to time; published examples run from a $0.25 or £0.10 minimum up to a $5,000 maximum. We list a few crypto-friendly online casinos that carry Evolution live game shows on our where-to-play page; availability depends on your country and local law, and you must be 18 or older.
