At ICE 2020, Evolution Gaming unveiled 12 new games they plan to launch. Among them, the main release will be Crazy Time, due in July. The developer describes it as "the craziest and most interesting live casino game ever created."
The company calls it not only the best, but also the most expensive casino game. According to an Evolution representative, after the launch of Monopoly Live, they realized how much players love the bonus rounds. Therefore, in the future novelty there will be not one, but four bonus games at once, one of which is activated every six spins of the wheel. Plus, at each start, a multiplier for a specific bonus game is randomly selected. RTP 95.5%.
In addition to the main game, players will need to additionally bet on the bonus rounds, which they will get into if the corresponding sector falls on the wheel. You can watch the video below by streamer Kim Hultman aka LetsGiveItASpin. And below is an explanation of each bonus round.
Pachinko. Various prizes are distributed at the bottom of the screen, and the position from which the ball will be launched is determined at the top. Because of the hairpins, the trajectory is not obvious and will change even if the starting position is the same. The best result would be to catch a Double, after which the player gets a re-trigger, having already received a x2 multiplier. There can be an unlimited number of such doublings. So, with special luck, you can win a lot.
Cash Hunt. A grid of 108 multipliers appears on the screen, which are then hidden behind different symbols and shuffled. After stopping, the player selects a target and fires a cannon at it to open their multiplier. The screen will also show the results of other players, as everyone makes their own choice. The maximum multiplication is 25,000x.
Coin Flip. First, a random multiplier is determined for each side of the coin, then the coin is tossed to determine what the player gets. But apart from that, there is an additional multiplier, which was mentioned above (each spin of the wheel gives a multiplier of one of the bonus games). They multiply, offering even more attractive winnings. You can win up to 5,000x.
Crazy Time is the climax of the game. In this bonus round, the wheel is equipped with three arrows, and each player chooses which one will be active for him. There are doubling sectors on the wheel, when the player is entitled to an additional spin + 2x. Considering that initially the bonus round can have a multiplier of 50x, and then the player catches a lot of doubles at the end of 200x, then a win of hundreds of thousands of times greater than the original bet is possible.
Other news
The streamer also posted a video showcasing some of the other planned additions. Among them are Power Blackjack with the possibility of not just doubling the bet, but x3 and even x4 multipliers. But in order to compensate for this possibility, the developer removed some of the nines and tens from the deck. As a result, the RTP dropped to 98.8%. According to a company representative, this will help attract those who want more volatility in the game to the game.
Instant Roulette. The company calls it the fastest live casino game in the world. There are many roulette wheels in the studio. They are all synchronized and at some point there will always be a wheel that is ready to accept bets. The player can place a bet on one, and without waiting for the results, immediately switch to other available wheels. Roulettes will be numbered and players will be able to choose any of them.
Live Craps is a traditional game, just transferred to the live casino studio. Instead of players, the dice will be thrown by a mechanical hand, which the company calls Mister Lucky internally. But the rep noted that if anyone has good ideas on what to call this mechanical arm, they are open to suggestions. One of the interesting features is the Applause button. After the dice have stopped, any player can press this button and applause will sound in the studio.
Mega Ball is a kind of bingo where you can buy up to 200 cards. A total of 20 random balls are taken, and then one mega ball, which is randomly assigned a multiplier up to 100x. The RTP of the game is 95.5% and the maximum multiplier is 1,000,000x. But the winnings cannot exceed 500,000 euros.
