Crazy Time vs Funky Time

Crazy Time vs Funky Time: our verdict

Both shows come from Evolution and follow the same idea: bet on where a big wheel will stop, with numbers paying fixed odds and bonus segments opening a second game. Crazy Time is the better choice if you want a published RTP to judge your cost by, because Evolution states 94.41% to 96.08%. Funky Time offers more segments, letter bets and arguably more varied bonus play, but its RTP was not in the developer pages we checked, so read the game’s help screen before you stake.

Neither is a cheap way to gamble compared with low-edge table games. A 3.92% to 5.59% edge is higher than European roulette’s 2.70%, so think of both as entertainment priced for the spectacle.

The wheels: 54 segments against a 64-segment DigiWheel

Crazy Time’s physical money wheel has 54 segments. Evolution’s rules give four Coin Flip segments, two Cash Hunt segments and one Crazy Time segment, with the rest made up of number segments (1, 2, 5 and 10) and Pachinko. Before each spin the Top Slot can attach a multiplier of up to 50x to one number or bonus.

Funky Time swaps the classic wheel for a 64-segment DigiWheel. Its segments spell out PLAY, FUNK and TIME, sit alongside number 1 segments and the four bonus segments, and the letter bets carry a default 25:1 payout according to Evolution’s product page. Evolution’s chief product officer called it the most expensive and complex game the studio had made, in the Funky Time launch announcement (opens in a new tab).

What the segment counts mean for your chances

On a fair wheel every segment is equally likely, so a segment’s probability is its count divided by the total. Where Evolution publishes counts we can do the sums; where it does not, we leave them out.

The ‘roughly once every’ column is an average, not a schedule. Spins are independent, so a bonus can arrive twice in a row or not for hundreds of spins; it is never due.

Bonus games compared: Crazy Time vs Funky Time

This is where the two shows feel most different. Crazy Time’s bonuses are four separate mini-games, from a simple two-sided coin to a giant wheel in a virtual room. Funky Time’s bonuses lean on picks, ball draws and a moving character on a dance floor.

In both games only players who bet on a bonus segment take part in that bonus. Evolution also states Crazy Time bonus wins can reach up to €500,000, and its record 25,000x Cash Hunt result shows the 20,000x figure is not an absolute ceiling once a Top Slot multiplier applies. Our game show RTP comparison puts these figures beside other shows.

Crazy Time RTP vs Funky Time RTP and house edge

Evolution’s Crazy Time how-to-play page (opens in a new tab) gives a theoretical RTP of 94.41% to 96.08%, depending on the bet. Converted to house edge, that is 3.92% at best and 5.59% at worst. The per-bet breakdown sits in the game’s help screen, so check which bets carry the higher figure before choosing.

For Funky Time, the developer pages we checked did not state an RTP or an overall maximum win. That is not unusual for a product page, and UK rules require the game to show information about your chances, so the in-game help screen is where to find it. Until you have read it, you cannot work out what a session will cost on average.

RTP is a long-run average across millions of rounds. A show with big bonus multipliers can swing wildly over an evening, and most rounds return less than you staked.

What a session costs: worked examples

Expected cost equals total staked multiplied by the house edge. Using Crazy Time’s published range, here is what £1 a round costs over a session of 100 rounds. Pace varies with bonus rounds, so the table counts rounds rather than hours; our cost per hour guide shows how to convert.

Spreading your stake across numbers and bonuses does not reduce cost; it averages the edges of the bets you choose. For Funky Time, multiply your stake by the house edge from the help screen in the same way.

How a round plays in each show

1. Pick your chips and place bets during the betting window (15 seconds in Crazy Time).
2. In Crazy Time, watch the Top Slot set a multiplier on one segment; in Funky Time, watch for any wheel multiplier.
3. The host spins the wheel and it stops on a number, letter or bonus segment.
4. Number and letter bets are paid at their odds, boosted by any multiplier that applies.
5. If a bonus lands and you bet on it, play the bonus; if not, watch and wait for the next round.

A re-bet button repeats your last stakes, and the Gambling Commission has said re-bet is not autoplay. Our guide to how game shows work explains the studio set-up behind both shows.
