How to Play Crazy Time — Rules and Step-by-Step Guide
Crazy Time is a live game show with a 54-segment wheel, four bonus rounds and multipliers of up to 25,000x. This page explains everything — step by step — from opening the lobby for the first time to seeing your balance update after a win. No assumptions: if you have never played before, start here.
Crazy Time in 30 Seconds — The Game Explained
A live host spins a 54-segment wheel. Before the spin, you get 15 seconds to bet on one or more segments: numbers (1, 2, 5, 10) or bonus games (Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko, Crazy Time). The wheel spins. If it lands on your segment, you win. Number bets pay from 1:1 to 10:1. Bonus bets trigger special rounds with multipliers of up to 20,000x. Everything runs live, 24/7.

The concept is simple. Next: how to get in and place your first bet.
How to Start a Game of Crazy Time
There are two parts: finding the game and placing your first bet.
Step 1 — Find Crazy Time in the Casino Lobby
Open your UKGC-licensed casino — in your browser or app. Go to the "Live Casino" or "Game Shows" section. Search for "Crazy Time" in the search bar or scroll through the Evolution Gaming titles. You will usually see two options: Crazy Time and Crazy Time A (a second studio with the same rules).
Click either one. The stream starts automatically: you will see the wheel, the host and the betting panel. If a spin is already in progress, wait for it to finish — betting opens between rounds. UK casinos with Crazy Time →
Step 2 — Place Your Bets in 15 Seconds
When the host says "Place your bets", you have 15 seconds. At the bottom of the screen you will see 8 boxes: numbers 1, 2, 5, 10 and the 4 bonuses. Click a box to select it. Choose your stake using the chips: from £0.10 to £5,000.
You can bet on multiple boxes at the same time — each box is a separate bet. When the countdown hits zero, betting locks. The wheel spins. No changes are possible after betting closes.
You know how to enter and how to bet. Now: what those 54 segments actually mean.
The Crazy Time Wheel — 54 Segments Explained
The wheel has 54 segments split into 8 types. Each colour matches a segment. Blue = number 1 (21 segments, the most frequent). Yellow = number 2 (13). Pink = number 5 (7). Purple = number 10 (4). The remaining 9 segments are the 4 bonuses: Coin Flip (4, green), Cash Hunt (2, orange), Pachinko (2, light blue), Crazy Time (1, red — the rarest).
| Segment | Colour | Segments | % of Wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number 1 | 🔵 Blue | 21 | 38.89% |
| Number 2 | 🟡 Yellow | 13 | 24.07% |
| Number 5 | 🩷 Pink | 7 | 12.96% |
| Number 10 | 🟣 Purple | 4 | 7.41% |
| Coin Flip | 🟢 Green | 4 | 7.41% |
| Cash Hunt | 🟠 Orange | 2 | 3.70% |
| Pachinko | 🔷 Light Blue | 2 | 3.70% |
| Crazy Time | 🔴 Red | 1 | 1.85% |
The wheel is the centrepiece. But there is more going on around it — here is what you are looking at.
The Crazy Time Interface — What You See on Screen
The screen has five zones. At the top: the Top Slot with its two multiplier reels. In the centre: the physical wheel and the live host. At the bottom: the betting panel with 8 boxes (4 numbers + 4 bonuses). On the left: your balance, total stake and recent spin history. On the right: the live chat and other players' results. Each area does a job — learn the layout and you will play faster. Crazy Time live stream → | Live results tracker →

Crazy Time Top Slot — How the Multiplier Works
Above the wheel there are two reels: the Top Slot. The first reel shows a segment (number or bonus). The second reel shows a multiplier (from 2x to 50x). Both spin at the same time as the wheel.
If the segment on the first reel matches the result on the wheel — a horizontal match — the multiplier applies to that segment for the current spin. Example: the Top Slot shows "Number 5 + 10x". The wheel lands on number 5. The payout is not 5:1 but 50:1 (5 × 10). This match happens on roughly 16% of spins on average — not all the time, but when it hits, it changes the value of the round completely.
Top Slot shows No.5 + 10x — wheel spins
Wheel lands on No.5 — payout 50:1 instead of 5:1
You know how Top Slot works. Next: what you can actually win.
How You Win at Crazy Time — Payouts and Results
There are two ways to win: on number bets (fixed payout) and on bonus bets (variable payout).
Winning on Crazy Time Numbers — Payouts from 1:1 to 10:1
If the wheel lands on a number you backed, you win your stake multiplied by that number. £1 on number 2 → you win £2. £5 on number 10 → you win £50. If a Top Slot multiplier is active, the win is multiplied again. Lower numbers (1, 2) pay less but land more often. Higher numbers (5, 10) pay more but appear less often.
| Bet On | Pays | Example (£1) | With 10x Top Slot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number 1 | 1:1 | £1 | £10 |
| Number 2 | 2:1 | £2 | £20 |
| Number 5 | 5:1 | £5 | £50 |
| Number 10 | 10:1 | £10 | £100 |
Winning on Crazy Time Bonuses — When They Trigger
If the wheel lands on a bonus you backed, you enter the bonus round. The prize depends on the multiplier you get inside that bonus — it changes on every trigger. If you did not bet on the bonus that lands, you can watch it, but you do not take part and you do not win anything.
You can bet on multiple bonuses at once. Each bonus has a different maximum multiplier: Coin Flip up to 5,000x, Cash Hunt up to 25,000x, Pachinko up to 10,000x, Crazy Time up to 20,000x. Full breakdown of all 4 bonus rounds →
The payouts are clear. Before your first real-money spin, keep these five points in mind.
Crazy Time for Beginners — 5 Tips Before You Start
Start in demo mode — you learn the rhythm without risk
Begin with small stakes (£0.10–£1) until you understand the pace
Cover at least 2–3 segments per spin — backing only one can be too volatile
Look at the Top Slot before every spin — if a strong multiplier lines up with one of your segments, that round gets more interesting
Do not chase losses — each spin is independent
Crazy Time on Mobile — How to Play on Smartphone
On mobile the interface is the same — adapted for touch. You tap the boxes with your finger. The betting panel stays at the bottom. The wheel stream fills the top half of the screen. The bonus rounds work the same way: the Cash Hunt target is moved with your finger, and the Crazy Time flapper is selected with a tap. Everything runs in HTML5 — no download needed.

Crazy Time Rules FAQ
How many segments are on the Crazy Time wheel?
54 segments: 21 with number 1, 13 with number 2, 7 with number 5, 4 with number 10, 4 with Coin Flip, 2 with Cash Hunt, 2 with Pachinko and 1 with Crazy Time.
How long do I have to place bets on Crazy Time?
15 seconds. The countdown appears on screen after each spin. When it reaches zero, betting closes and the wheel spins. No changes are possible after that point.
Can I bet on more than one segment at the same time?
Yes. You can back as many segments as you want — numbers and bonuses. Each box is a separate bet. Your total stake is the sum of all selected boxes.
What happens if I do not bet on any segment?
Nothing. The spin goes ahead, the wheel turns, but you are not involved and you do not win or lose anything. You can watch without betting.
How do number payouts work in Crazy Time?
The number is the multiplier: number 1 pays 1:1, number 2 pays 2:1, number 5 pays 5:1, number 10 pays 10:1. If Top Slot is active, that multiplier is applied on top.
Do I need to bet on a bonus to join the bonus round?
Yes. If the wheel lands on Pachinko but you did not bet on Pachinko, you can watch the round but you do not win anything. Only players who backed that bonus take part and receive a payout.
Is Crazy Time the same as roulette?
No. Roulette uses numbers 0–36 with fixed payouts. Crazy Time has 54 segments, 4 interactive bonus rounds, a Top Slot multiplier and a live host running the show. The mechanics are different.
