Game shows bring a television-style format to the live casino: a studio, a presenter and a big money wheel or ball machine. Crazy Time is one of Evolution's most-played games at our casinos, and the live casino offers similar game shows from several studios.
A real presenter runs each round, and the result is decided by a wheel, balls or another physical device on a live stream. Below we explain how game shows generally work and how their RTP differs from classic table games.
Many game shows are built around a money wheel. You bet on one or more segments before the round, the presenter spins the wheel, and if it stops on your choice you are paid at that segment's multiplier. In many games some segments launch a separate bonus game, and extra multipliers may be drawn for certain segments at the start of a round. Instead of a wheel, the result can also come from drawn balls, dice or slot-style reels.
Each betting option in a game show has its own RTP, unlike European roulette where every bet returns the same 97.30%. Bets also differ in volatility: small numbers hit often, while rare segments and bonus games pay seldom but more at once. Crazy Time, for example, is listed at 96.08% RTP in our catalogue. Large multipliers are rare even if they dominate the broadcast, and covering many segments does not remove the house edge.
Our catalogue holds more than 700 live games from Evolution and more than 500 from Pragmatic Play Live. Evolution's most-played game shows at our casinos include Crazy Time and Funky Time; Pragmatic Play Live's include Mega Wheel and Sweet Bonanza Candyland.
Our catalogue lists Crazy Time at 96.08%. In game shows the return varies by bet, so check the exact figures in the game rules.
Not one that changes the house edge. You can choose bets whose return or volatility suits you, but every round is random.
Game shows usually have a money wheel, bonus games and extra multipliers, and each bet has its own RTP. In European roulette every bet carries the same 2.70% house edge.
