Crazy Time is a live game show developed by Evolution, built around a large vertical money wheel spun by a presenter in a studio and streamed in real time. Evolution revealed the title at the ICE exhibition in London in February 2020, and comparison sites list its commercial release in mid-2020, with July 2020 the date most often given.
The format extends the classic money-wheel concept with a slot-style multiplier device mounted above the wheel and four separate bonus games, each with its own set, animation and payout logic. The result is a show in which ordinary number bets sit next to rarer bonus bets carrying far wider payout ranges.
The Crazy Time Main Wheel
The main wheel is a mechanical wheel divided into 54 segments. Published breakdowns agree on the distribution: the number 1 occupies 21 segments, the number 2 occupies 13, the number 5 occupies 7 and the number 10 occupies 4. The remaining nine segments trigger bonus games.
Among those nine, Coin Flip holds 4 segments, Cash Hunt holds 2, Pachinko holds 2 and the Crazy Time bonus holds a single segment. Number segments pay at the face value shown, so a winning bet on 2 pays 2 to 1 and a winning bet on 10 pays 10 to 1, before any extra multiplier is added.
Spin Mechanics
The presenter spins the wheel by hand, and a flapper at the top marks the winning segment when the wheel comes to rest. Reviews describe the wheel as free-spinning with no motor controlling its speed, which keeps each outcome independent of the previous one.
Between spins, a short betting window opens on screen. Sources quote this window at roughly 13 to 15 seconds, and the exact timer is visible in the game interface during each round.
Top Slot Multipliers
Above the main wheel sits the Top Slot, a two-reel device that spins at the start of every round. One reel selects a bet spot, either a number or one of the four bonus games, and the other selects a multiplier.
If the reels line up horizontally and the main wheel then stops on the matching segment, the multiplier applies to that bet. Published values for the multiplier reel range from 2x to 50x. On number bets, the boosted figure multiplies the standard payout; on a bonus bet, the multiplier is carried into the bonus game and applied to the values there.
Betting Areas
The betting panel offers eight positions: the numbers 1, 2, 5 and 10, plus Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko and the Crazy Time bonus. Bets can be placed on any combination of these, and stakes on one position have no effect on the others.
A bonus game can only be won by stakes placed on that bonus before the spin. When the wheel stops on Pachinko, for instance, all participants watch the bonus, but only those holding a Pachinko bet receive a payout from it. An auto-play option repeating the same bet for up to 100 rounds, with win and loss limits, is described in several reviews.
The Four Bonus Games in Crazy Time
Each bonus moves the action away from the main wheel to a dedicated animation or physical set. The rounds differ in volatility: Coin Flip produces the narrowest spread of outcomes, while the top-tier wheel bonus produces the widest.
The descriptions below summarise mechanics reported consistently across independent reviews. Exact multiplier tables can be updated by the studio, so the in-game help screen remains the definitive reference.
Coin Flip
Coin Flip assigns a random multiplier to each side of a coin, one red and one blue. A mechanical flipper then tosses the coin, and the side facing up determines the multiplier paid.
Because a win is guaranteed and only two values are in play, this round is generally described as the lowest-variance bonus in the game. Some sources also mention a re-flip feature when both multipliers are low.
Cash Hunt
Cash Hunt displays a shooting-gallery wall of 108 random multipliers. The values are revealed, then hidden behind symbols and shuffled, after which each participant aims a cannon at one symbol.
Since every participant selects a target independently, two people on the same round can receive different multipliers. If no target is chosen before the timer ends, the game picks one automatically.
Pachinko
Pachinko takes place on a large physical board with pegs. A puck is released from one of 16 drop zones at the top and bounces down into one of 16 prize zones at the bottom.
When the puck lands on a Double zone, all multipliers on the board are doubled and the puck is dropped again. This chaining can continue several times, and one review gives 10,000x as the cap for the round.
The Title Bonus Round
The Crazy Time bonus, the highest tier, shares its name with the show. The presenter enters a virtual room containing a giant wheel with 64 segments, and each participant selects one of three flappers: blue, green or yellow.
When the wheel stops, each flapper points at its own segment. Double and Triple segments multiply all values on the wheel and trigger a respin, so a single round can stack several times. The maximum payout reported for this bonus is 20,000x.
RTP of Crazy Time by Bet Spot
Return to player differs for each betting position. Commonly published theoretical figures are 96.08% for the number 1, 95.95% for 2, 95.78% for 5, 95.73% for 10, 95.70% for Coin Flip, 94.33% for Pachinko and 94.41% for the Crazy Time bonus.
Sources disagree on Cash Hunt, with some listing 95.27% and others 96.05%. Overall, the published range runs from about 94.33% to 96.08%. These are long-term theoretical averages across very large numbers of spins rather than predictions for any short sequence, and the current figure for each bet is shown in the game rules panel.
Maximum Win and Payout Caps
Reviews generally cite 20,000x as the maximum multiplier, reached in the Crazy Time bonus round. Several sources also describe promotional windows when the Top Slot ceiling was raised, which pushed theoretical maximums higher.
Separately from multipliers, operators apply a maximum payout per round, and figures such as €500,000 appear in some reviews. Because these caps depend on the operator and the currency, the limits table in the game interface gives the binding value.
Crazy Time in the Live Casino at MCW Casino
At MCW Casino, the Evolution game show appears in the live casino lobby alongside other wheel-based shows, roulette and card tables. Stakes are presented in Bangladeshi taka, and the table limits shown on entry define the minimum and maximum bet per position.
The stream adapts to connection speed, and the same table is available on desktop browsers and mobile devices. Bet history for each round is recorded in the account, listing the positions covered, the winning segment and any multiplier applied.
Interface Features
The game window provides a statistics panel showing recent results and how often each segment has appeared. These figures describe the past only; the wheel has no memory, and each spin is independent of earlier ones.
Chat, sound controls, video quality settings and the full rules page are accessible from the same window. The help section explains every bonus game in detail and lists the current RTP values and payout limits.
Summary of the Format
Crazy Time combines a 54-segment money wheel, the Top Slot multiplier system and four distinct bonus games into one continuous live broadcast. Number bets offer frequent, modest returns, while bonus bets trade lower hit rates for much broader payout ranges.
The table admits only account holders who are 18 or older and located where such games are legal; spending limits and self-exclusion sit among the standard account controls. Within the MCW Casino live lobby, Crazy Time stands as one of the most feature-rich game shows on offer.
