Crazy Time at VegasNow: the wheel, the bonus games and the numbers
A presenter, a giant 54-segment wheel and four bonus rounds that can turn a small stake into a large multiplier. This page explains how a round of Crazy Time runs, what the published figures mean and how to plan stakes from your VegasNow account.
- 54 wheel segments
- 4 bonus games
- 20,000× top bonus payout
What Crazy Time actually is
Crazy Time is a live game show from Evolution, streamed from a studio and hosted by a presenter rather than dealt by a croupier. At its centre stands a large vertical money wheel divided into 54 segments. Most segments carry a number, and the rest carry one of four bonus games. You choose which outcomes to back before the wheel spins, and wherever the flapper stops decides who gets paid.
The appeal is the mixture of a simple bet with an unpredictable result. A number win pays straight away at the odds printed on the bet spot. A bonus segment, on the other hand, sends everyone who backed it into a second stage where a multiplier is decided, and those multipliers can climb a long way. The Crazy Time bonus round itself can pay up to 20,000×.
All of this happens on camera, at the same moment for every player at the table, so the experience feels closer to a television show than to a casino game. You will find Crazy Time in our live casino section, and you can open the table and watch a few rounds before you decide to place a bet.
How one round of Crazy Time plays out
Every round follows the same four stages. Once you have seen two or three rounds, the rhythm becomes second nature.
Choose your bet spots
When the betting window opens, place chips on any combination of the number spots and the four bonus spots. You can back a single outcome or spread your stake across several. Your total for the round is shown as you build it.
The Top Slot spins
Before the main wheel turns, the Top Slot at the top of the wheel spins. When it lines up, it picks one bet spot and attaches a multiplier of up to 50× to it for that round. If that spot then wins, the multiplier applies to the payout.
The presenter spins the wheel
Betting closes, the presenter sets the 54-segment wheel in motion and the flapper eventually settles on one segment. That segment is the result of the round for everyone at the table.
Collect or play the bonus
If the result is a number you backed, you are paid at that spot's odds, boosted if the Top Slot chose it. If it is a bonus segment you backed, you go through to that bonus game and your payout is decided there.
The four bonus games
Each bonus game decides its multiplier in a different way. Only players who backed that bonus spot take part, and the stake you placed on the spot is what the multiplier is applied to.
Coin Flip
The quickest of the four. A two-sided coin decides which of two multipliers applies to your stake on the Coin Flip spot. It is the bonus most likely to feel like a straightforward extra round rather than a full feature.
Cash Hunt
A board of hidden multipliers appears on screen and each player picks a target. When the board is revealed, the multiplier behind your choice is the one you win, so two players in the same round can come away with very different results.
Pachinko
A puck is dropped from the top of a tall wall of pegs and bounces its way down to a row of multipliers at the bottom. Wherever it lands decides the payout for everyone who backed Pachinko that round.
Crazy Time
The headline bonus moves play to a separate, larger bonus wheel. This is the round with the widest range of outcomes and the one capable of the top payout of up to 20,000×.
Crazy Time in figures
These are the figures Evolution publishes for the game, together with the VegasNow terms that apply when you play it.
| Item | Figure | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Main wheel | 54 segments | Number segments plus the four bonus games |
| Bonus games | 4 | Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko and Crazy Time |
| Top Slot | Up to 50× on one bet spot per round | A boost that only matters if the chosen spot wins |
| Return to player | 94.41% to 96.08% | A long-run average range published by Evolution |
| Largest bonus payout | Up to 20,000× | Reached only in the Crazy Time bonus round |
| Bonus wagering contribution | 10% | A$10 staked counts as A$1 towards wagering |
| Maximum bet with an active bonus | A$8 | Applies to every round while bonus funds are live |
Reading the RTP range with real money
Evolution publishes a return-to-player range of 94.41% to 96.08% for Crazy Time rather than a single number. RTP describes what the game returns, on average, across an enormous number of rounds. It does not predict what will happen in your session, and in a game built around large multipliers the short-run swings can be wide in either direction.
To put the range into dollars: if you staked a total of A$1,000 over a very long run, the published range implies an average return of between A$944.10 and A$960.80. Put the other way, the expected cost of that A$1,000 of play sits between A$39.20 and A$55.90. Any single evening can land far above or far below those averages, which is exactly why the game is exciting and exactly why it should be played with money you can afford to spend.
It also helps to remember that different bet spots behave differently. Number spots come up often and pay modest amounts, while bonus spots appear less often but open the door to the multipliers. A stake spread across both tends to produce a steadier session, while a stake concentrated on the bonus spots produces longer gaps between wins and bigger swings when one arrives. Neither approach changes the published RTP range; they only change how the ride feels.
A practical way to use this is to think of the cost of entertainment rather than a target to beat. If you plan to stake A$5 a round for 40 rounds, that is A$200 of total stakes. At the published range, the long-run cost of that play would be around A$8 to A$11, but a real session will rarely finish close to the average. Set your budget on the assumption that you could lose the full amount, and treat any win as a bonus.
Spreading a stake without breaking the rules
Most Crazy Time players back more than one spot per round, because a single outcome on a 54-segment wheel can stay away for a long time. Spreading chips raises the chance that something you backed comes up, while each individual win is smaller relative to the total you staked.
Here is a simple example. Placing A$1 on each of the four bonus spots costs A$4 a round. If a bonus segment lands, one of your four chips goes through to the bonus game while the other three are lost. If a number segment lands, the whole A$4 is lost for that round. Adding chips on numbers keeps more rounds productive but raises the cost of each spin.
If you are playing with an active bonus, keep the total of all your chips in a round within the A$8 maximum bet. A spread of A$1 on each bonus spot plus A$1 on a couple of numbers stays comfortably inside the limit. Going over it can put the bonus and its winnings at risk, so check your balance status before you raise stakes.

Game shows count at 10% towards bonus wagering. That has a big effect on how long it takes to clear an offer if you play only at the wheel.
| Example | Bonus | 40× requirement | Stakes needed at Crazy Time (10%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A$100 first deposit, 150% match | A$150 | A$6,000 | A$60,000 |
| A$50 first deposit, 150% match | A$75 | A$3,000 | A$30,000 |
| A$20 first deposit, 150% match | A$30 | A$1,200 | A$12,000 |

All live tables →Playing Crazy Time sensibly
Crazy Time is designed to be lively. Rounds come one after another, the presenter keeps the energy high and big multipliers appear on screen often enough to make the next spin feel important. That is part of the fun, but it also makes it easy to stake more than you meant to.
Set a deposit limit in your VegasNow account before you start, decide on a fixed stake per round and stick to it, and stop when your session budget is gone rather than chasing a bonus round that has not appeared.

Crazy Time questions
How many segments are on the Crazy Time wheel?
The main wheel has 54 segments. They are a mix of number segments and the four bonus games: Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko and Crazy Time.
What does the Top Slot do?
Before each spin, the Top Slot selects one bet spot and can apply a multiplier of up to 50× to it. The boost only pays if that spot is the one the main wheel lands on.
What is the RTP of Crazy Time?
Evolution publishes a range of 94.41% to 96.08%. It is a long-run average across a very large number of rounds, not a forecast for a single session.
What is the biggest win in Crazy Time?
The Crazy Time bonus round can pay up to 20,000×. Outcomes that large are rare, and most rounds pay far less or nothing at all.
Does Crazy Time count towards my bonus?
Yes, at 10%. Every A$10 you stake counts as A$1 towards a 40× requirement, and the A$8 maximum bet applies while a bonus is active.
Should I take a bonus if I mainly play Crazy Time?
That is your call. Because game shows count at 10%, clearing 40× wagering at the wheel alone takes a lot of play inside 7 days. Bonuses can be declined, so if Crazy Time is your main game you may prefer to play with cash balance and keep your winnings free of bonus conditions.
Can I play Crazy Time on my phone?
Yes. The game runs in your mobile browser, and you can save VegasNow to your Home Screen for quick access. Our mobile page explains how.
