The Crazy Time bonus rounds are Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko and the Crazy Time bonus, and together they fill 9 of the 54 segments on Evolution’s main wheel, so about one spin in six lands on one. The other 45 segments carry the numbers 1, 2, 5 and 10. Each bonus plays out as a separate mini game, and only players who backed that exact bet spot take part. Crazy Time is listed at WINLAH.
Quick answer: Top Slot can add a 2x to 50x multiplier to one bet spot · number bets return 95.73% to 96.08%, bonus bets 94.33% to 96.05% · Evolution lists 20,000x as the top prize.
What the 54 segments on the wheel are worth
Evolution built Crazy Time as a live game show around a money wheel. The wheel has 54 segments, split as shown below. The wider live lineup is covered in the live casino section. A spin has one winner, so the chance of each outcome is its share of the wheel.
| Segment | Count | Chance per spin | About 1 in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 | 38.89% | 2.6 |
| 2 | 13 | 24.07% | 4.2 |
| 5 | 7 | 12.96% | 7.7 |
| 10 | 4 | 7.41% | 13.5 |
| Coin Flip | 4 | 7.41% | 13.5 |
| Cash Hunt | 2 | 3.70% | 27 |
| Pachinko | 2 | 3.70% | 27 |
| Crazy Time | 1 | 1.85% | 54 |
The numbers cover the remaining 45 segments, which is 83.33% of spins.
How the four Crazy Time bonus rounds work
The Crazy Time bonus itself works like a wheel of fortune. You choose one of three flappers, blue, green or yellow, and the host spins a virtual wheel. The flapper you picked decides your multiplier, and Evolution lists 20,000x as the top prize of this round. Every section of the virtual wheel carries its own multiplier. If your flapper stops on Double, every value on the wheel is doubled and the wheel spins again.
Pachinko drops a puck through a wall of pegs, and the slot where it lands sets the multiplier. A landing on Double doubles every multiplier at the bottom and sends the puck down again. Evolution lists 10,000x as the top prize here.
Cash Hunt turns the screen into a shooting gallery with 108 multipliers hidden behind symbols. The values are shown for a moment, then covered and shuffled before anyone aims. Each player picks a target before the timer ends, and two players in the same round can win different amounts.
Coin Flip is the simplest. Before the coin is flipped, two multipliers are created, one for the red side and one for the blue side, and the side that ends up on top decides the win. As an invented example, with red at 8x and blue at 3x, a RM5 bet on Coin Flip wins RM40 on red and RM15 on blue.
Every one of the Crazy Time bonus rounds starts from multipliers drawn at random for that round, so two Pachinko drops can look very different. A Double or a Top Slot multiplier can then lift those values further, so no bonus comes with a fixed price list.
Top Slot: when a bet spot pays more than its face value
Top Slot is a small slot machine with two reels. Once the betting window closes, after about 15 seconds, it spins as the main wheel starts. One reel shows a bet spot and the other a multiplier, between 2x and 50x. When the two line up, that multiplier is attached to that spot for the round, and if the wheel then stops on the same spot, the win is multiplied. When the reels do not line up, no Top Slot multiplier applies.
A number normally pays its face value, so 5 pays 5 to 1 before any multiplier. With a 10x Top Slot on the 5, that becomes 5 × 10 = 50 to 1, and a RM2 bet wins RM100 instead of RM10. A 50x on the 10 gives 10 × 50 = 500 to 1, and a RM1 bet wins RM500. Top Slot does not change how often a segment comes up. It only raises the payout of the one spot it picked when that spot wins.
Top Slot can also land on one of the Crazy Time bonus rounds. The bonus is then played with its multipliers lifted, so a bet on that spot is worth more than the same bet on a quiet round. Because the Top Slot multiplier is drawn separately each round, the lift cannot be read from earlier rounds.
RTP by bet spot, translated into Ringgit
Evolution lists a return to player of 96.08% for the base number bet. Across the eight bet spots the published figures run from 94.33% to 96.08%, and the table converts them into the house edge in Ringgit.
| Bet spots | Return to player | Expected cost per RM100 staked |
|---|---|---|
| Numbers 1, 2, 5, 10 | 95.73% to 96.08% | RM3.92 to RM4.27 |
| Bonus bets | 94.33% to 96.05% | RM3.95 to RM5.67 |
The lowest return among the Crazy Time bonus rounds belongs to Pachinko at 94.33%, so a RM100 stake there costs RM5.67 on average, against RM3.92 on the number 1. Operators can run other versions of the game, and the RTP of each bet spot is shown on the game’s info screen.
Top Slot carries a large part of these numbers. Paid at face value alone, a bet on 1 would return 21/54 × 2 = 77.78% of the stake, and a bet on 10 would return 4/54 × 11 = 81.48%. The gap up to the published 96.08% and 95.73%, roughly 18 and 14 percentage points, comes from the spins where Top Slot multiplies a winning number.
In Ringgit, take RM200 staked on the number 1 over 100 spins of RM2. At face value alone the bet would lose about RM44 on average, since 22.22% of RM200 is RM44.44. Top Slot hands back roughly RM36.60 of that, which leaves the RM7.84 expected cost shown in the table.
How often Crazy Time bonus rounds land
A bonus round comes up on 16.67% of spins, but that is an average over many spins. The chance of seeing none falls slowly: 33.5% after 6 spins, 11.2% after 12 and 2.6% after 20. Ten spins without a bonus happen about 16% of the time, so a long wait is not rare, and a run of bonuses in a short stretch is not strange either.
Backing just one of the Crazy Time bonus rounds narrows the odds sharply. Pachinko appears on 3.70% of spins, once in 27 on average, and the Crazy Time bonus itself on 1.85%, once in 54. A bonus that has not appeared for 40 rounds is not “due”, because each spin starts fresh.
A session of 100 spins puts these numbers into counts. On average the wheel stops on one of the Crazy Time bonus rounds about 17 times, which is about 7 Coin Flips, 4 Cash Hunts, 4 Pachinko rounds and 2 Crazy Time bonuses. Even so, a session of 100 spins ends without a single Crazy Time bonus about 15% of the time, because missing a spot that appears once in 54 spins 100 times running has a 15.4% chance.
Planning a Crazy Time session in Ringgit
Pick the stake first, then divide the session money by it. RM200 at RM2 a spin gives 100 spins. Over that many spins the expected cost on number 1 is RM7.84, and on Pachinko RM11.34. A session can end far from the average: the RM7.84 above is a long-run figure, and one run can finish well above or below it.
Spreading the stake feels safer, but the arithmetic shows it does not guarantee a profit. Put RM1 on each of 1, 2, 5 and 10, which is RM4 a spin. Before Top Slot, the wheel stopping on 1 returns RM2, a net loss of RM2. A stop on 2 returns RM3, a loss of RM1. A stop on 5 returns RM6, a gain of RM2, and a stop on 10 returns RM11, a gain of RM7. The common 1 and 2 outcomes lose money.
Bets on the Crazy Time bonus rounds spread the stake in a different way. Put RM1 on each of the four bonuses, again RM4 a spin, and RM200 lasts 50 spins. The wheel stops on a number in about 42 of those 50 spins, and each of those spins loses the whole RM4. Across the 50 spins the expected cost is RM7.90 to RM11.34, the 3.95% to 5.67% edge from the table applied to RM200.
The 20,000x top prize looks dramatic on paper: RM2 times 20,000 is RM40,000. It is a theoretical top that needs a rare chain of events, so it should not shape a budget.
Crazy Time bonus questions
Can I bet on a number and a bonus in the same round?
Yes, and each bet is settled on its own. With RM3 on the 2 and RM1 on Coin Flip, a stop on 2 wins RM6 while the RM1 is lost, so the round ends RM5 up. A stop on Coin Flip loses the RM3, and the RM1 goes into the Coin Flip bonus.
How are several bonus bets settled in one round?
Each bet is settled separately, and only the bet on the bonus that lands takes part in it. With RM2 on Coin Flip and RM2 on Cash Hunt, a stop on Cash Hunt sends the RM2 on Cash Hunt into its mini game, while the RM2 on Coin Flip is lost.
What happens to a bonus bet when the wheel stops on a number?
The bet is lost. A RM2 bet on Pachinko loses RM2 on every spin that does not land on Pachinko, which is 96.30% of them. On average 26 losing spins pass before Pachinko appears, so RM52 goes on that spot without any return before the puck drops once.
What a RM120 loss limit means in spins
Write down one loss limit in Ringgit before the first spin, for example RM120, and end the session as soon as it is reached. At RM2 a spin that is 60 stakes, and over 60 spins the wheel is expected to land on one of the Crazy Time bonus rounds about ten times, so a limit of that size still lets the game show what it has.
Crazy Time is for adults only: you must be 21 or older to play.
