Early Look at Evolution Crazy Time

[neilw]

Evolution Gaming's big release of the year "Crazy Time" was quietly released to a few casinos last week. The Pre-release of the game is due on the 10th of June, when it will be available at some of the tier 1 operators.

The game is like Monopoly Dream Catcher but has 4 bonus rounds instead of one.

It's a high variance game, with the potential to pay really big - for that reason payouts have been capped at €500,000 a player.

I've had a play - you can read my full

.

Otherwise, if you can bear watching, I've created a video that covers all the main elements of the game and the 4 bonus rounds.


Interested to see what you think.

It's really a funny game and feels you that it might give you a big win! Yesterday I missed x400 in craz time bonus option, as one of my friend asked me an unnecessary question on skype and i forgot to put chips on bonuses :/ i could have had 1500k Euro in my Ecopayz account So always use AUTO-PLAY function guys! good luck!

I've been less lucky - I've played about 6 sessions and have lost my balance on each of them. You get a fair amount of playtime, but unless you hit a decent win multiplier you're going to lose your bankroll. The bonus rounds don't appear as often as you'd like them to and quite often you get less than a 10x win!. Overall the biggest win has been about 3200x since the 4th June, so it definitely has potential.

Past 20 Minutes it been so laggy stop and starting now giving out wrong results, why they dont just close down the game for 30 mins I dont know, cause leaving it open with so many issues is stupid

WTF the wheel was spinning around by itself for ages, then they take the feed down.

They claim no brake or motor, I smell bullshit.

I never seen that happen, did you record it?

I was playing on my phone unfortunately. Managed to get in on the Pachinko and Crazy Time with the late drawing of the multiplier. That was highly suspect but they paid out.

They are back now and the bugs seem to be ironed out.

The motor was visible again today. The wheel kept spinning and landing on CASH HUNT.

WTF OMG,

So they can control after all.

IM SHOOK, I mean I am and im not as I always assumed it could be but liked playing it still

When did this happen as im looking on Tracksino and there's nothing showing this happened ??

 

[ThomasMT]

Happened this morning, they announced they were closing the table but forgot to cut the stream. I have the full 30 minute video, but haven't got youtube.

With a shadow of a doubt, every part of the wheel and bonus rounds can be controlled (if they wanted to of course)

So they control the wheel in favour of everyone playing. How does that benefit Evolution or the Casinos. It doesn't, does it?

I wish I could see the wheel spinning and spinning, its strange so many people record yet theres nothing on youtube about this

Ive had my doubts many of times BUT

How long has this been going for now?

Surley by now there was a video which is clear as day that it was all controlled and rigged but there is nothing.

Its almost like they don't control the wheel

that is the question!! unless they have ppl playing privately knowing the outcome and the rtp is paid. goes in their pocket and the players paying all the time.
with the live roulette is same problem. if someone of them self have account at casinos and play the numbers the rtp is paid.
so for MGA all fine rtp is correct. so they continue with bullshitting players.
for my self im scammed by them for alot i mean really ALOT of money.
so that stupid rigging the outcome shouldnt be there first place. it should be natural work of physics.
the problem we still can play these games while it is fixed!!

It just goes to show its not random & they can control everything & yes Neil it makes a massive difference, in theory it's not live games it's controlled games. Massive difference.

Where does it show that ?
Ive not seen anything to suggest this?

Managed a good result on this last night, first time playing it.

Skip to 5m58s for the big win.

I am being called out for getting best strategy wrong on this game. Basically I said it's best to cover everything as the number bets have the highest RTP, so you're increasing your overall RTP by covering those bets as well, even though the '1' only returns 2x stake (without a multiplier) so on a £8 bet like I was making in the video, a 'win' from a 1 still represents a loss.

Am I getting it wrong?

It's certainly the same strategy I'd take when I get bonuses to play this game. It is still a loss, but I prefer to cover all bases when it's affordable (i.e. 10p stakes). as ultimately every spin will guarantee a return. Which is good for wagering, if not the overall balance.

No idea what best strategy is.

I do know that the times I play that and monopoly etc. I just cover the bonuses and 10 and sometimes 5.

Just think that covering 1 or 2 with the small return is waste of money.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

For some reason I'm having trouble getting my head around it.

Ultimately all the bets are losing bets as the RTP is under 100%, my logic is that the number bets (and specifically the 1) have the highest RTPs, so your overall RTP is increased by covering those numbers, even though the potential rate of loss is increased, but does that even make sense?

And then it's muddied by the fact that the multiplier can apply to anything, and that goes up to 50x.

Plus a winning bet returns the stake as well, so even a basic unmodified 1 returns 2x the bet on the 1, although with me covering all eight results with £1 each like I did last night, an £8 bet returns £2 in that scenario, for a loss of £6.

It's annoying me now, this shouldn't be so hard to work out.....

I hate seeing the chat sometimes. It’s bang out of order how those hosts are treated. I remember one dark haired girl looking like she was about to have a breakdown.

Do the thick twats placing bets really believe it’s the host’s fault that the game isn’t paying out at that time?!

@ChopleyIOM

I might be wrong but maybe the best way is to count the amount of segments each prize/odds has?

For example.

For 1x to be exactly break even it would have to appear on 27 segments for true even money odds.

Now obviously then rtp is 95.5% theoretically. so it will not have more than 25/26 1x spots. Factor in the multiplier bonus I would be think there would be 20 or so 1x slots.
It gets complicated after that, you realistically would need to observe at least 10000 or so spins to get a very rough idea how many times a multi will connect first off and secondly, more importantly how many times the prize in question hits.


Could be way off on my thinking here but based on that. Betting 1,2,5x are theoretically going to pay the lower or worse rtp overall due to needing more hits at a much higher frequency.



Note this whole post could be bollocks. Just thinking off the top of my head.

Cheers Kenji, someone left another comment on the video that makes sense I think.

I was going to reply something similar.. it like bonus buys-- higher RTP, but as you spending many times more per spin, your loss to the edge in actual cash is higher

I am waiting for Borat's Sexy Time to be released

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Had a bit of a dire run on this game last night, bloody thing took £350 off me over the course of a couple of hours.

I tried a couple of different betting strategies, neither of which were betting on the 1, and the wheel went on a truly appalling run of hitting 1, and nowhere near the expected feature frequency.

The strategy I stuck with longest was simply betting a single £1 chip on 5, 10 and the four features for a total bet per round of £6, and the wheel just kept hitting 1 and 2 for a total loss of my stake on those rounds, and the features that did land paid shite.

In the end I just got fed up with it and withdrew my remaining balance out of Unibet - definitely a game to be careful of if it's running badly!

The Pachinko bonus round is a lot less exciting once you realise how they set it up to give a shit pay, so can tell immediately that it's going to be a crap one.

 

[Mouse75]

@ChopleyIOM All these wheel games seem the same to me.... not a fan - but you do get huge payouts.
Monpoly live on hills - i got £10 free - 10x wagering on their bonus drop couple of months back. Just put £1 on 2 spins, £1 on 4 spins. Hit 4 spins for 240x, and then just looked to finish wagering. Cashed over £200,

I thought best strategy was to bet different amounts on each feature according to likely payout. So less on crazy time but more on coin flip type of approach.......

Yeah that's what I do, I think in the long run its a lot better to bet more on certain segments than others.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well in the long run what's going to happen is T-RTP, so all bets are basically losers in the end

All you can really do with a betting strategy is change the volatility. (Martingale on roulette being an extreme example of that.)

Someone left a comment on my video about Crazy Time saying he bets 4x on the 2, 2x on the 5 and 10, and 1x on the four features, that means the only losing spin is a 1, with 2 and 5 returning the stake, 10 paying back double the bet, and the features paying whatever they pay. That actually seemed to work well for a bit but a dead run on 1s (which is what happened) gets pretty painful.

I think I actually prefer the Monopoly wheel game overall, it's a lot less volatile as it doesn't multiply very often (that has to come off the rather rare Chance), and not betting on 1 and 5 is a no-brainer as they have shit RTP, also there are only two feature bets to cover.

On Crazy Time the 1 and 2 account for over half the wheel, and they have a solid RTP too, but they're still a pretty crap bet to be making.

To be clear I'm not complaining about my luck overall, it was still a £750 withdrawal from a £60 deposit that lasted well over a week, and I had that bonkers £640 hit on Crazy Time the other night, but last night it was playing terribly and I just got fed up with it.
