All four Crazy Time bonus rounds explained in full — Coin Flip, Pachinko, Cash Hunt and the Crazy Time bonus wheel. Multiplier mechanics, RTP data, segment frequencies and tips for Singapore players wagering in SGD.
Crazy Time is a live game show created by Evolution, the world's leading live casino software provider. Launched in 2020, it has become one of the most played live casino titles globally and is consistently among the highest-engagement games in the Maxim88 Singapore live casino lobby.
The game is hosted in a large, colourfully decorated studio and presented by a live host. A large vertical spinning wheel — the Money Wheel — forms the centrepiece of the game. The wheel is divided into 54 equal segments, each containing either a number (1, 2, 5 or 10) or one of four bonus round triggers: Coin Flip, Pachinko, Cash Hunt or Crazy Time.
Players bet on which segment the wheel will stop on. If the wheel stops on a number that corresponds to your bet, you receive a payout equal to that number multiplied by your stake. If the wheel stops on a bonus round you have bet on, you enter that bonus round, where multipliers significantly larger than the base number payouts are available.
Before each spin, a second RNG-driven element — the Top Slot — spins above the wheel. The Top Slot can add a multiplier to any segment on the Money Wheel, boosting payouts for that round. The Top Slot operates independently of the Money Wheel spin and applies its multiplier before the wheel spin outcome is determined.
Crazy Time is accessible at Maxim88 Singapore 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through the Evolution live casino lobby. All bets are placed in SGD. Singapore players can deposit via PayNow (DBS, OCBC, UOB, POSB), e-wallet or bank transfer, with no minimum bet higher than S$0.10 on most segments.
The Crazy Time Money Wheel contains 54 segments in total. The distribution of segments directly determines the hit frequency of each bet type. Understanding the wheel composition allows players to assess the probability of each outcome and the expected value of each bet.
| Segment | Count | Frequency | Base Payout | RTP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 | 38.89% | 1:1 | 95.72% | Most frequent segment. Lowest payout. |
| 2 | 13 | 24.07% | 2:1 | 94.41% | Second most frequent number segment. |
| 5 | 7 | 12.96% | 5:1 | 95.10% | Mid-frequency, mid-payout number. |
| 10 | 4 | 7.41% | 10:1 | 95.10% | Least frequent number segment. |
| Coin Flip | 4 | 7.41% | Bonus | 95.70% | Simple two-outcome bonus with multipliers. |
| Pachinko | 2 | 3.70% | Bonus | 96.08% | Physical peg board drop. DOUBLE slot available. |
| Cash Hunt | 2 | 3.70% | Bonus | 96.08% | Shooting gallery bonus. 108 hidden multipliers. |
| Crazy Time | 1 | 1.85% | Bonus | 96.08% | Rarest segment. Highest multiplier potential. |
Frequency figures are based on the 54-segment wheel composition and apply before Top Slot multipliers. RTP figures are approximate theoretical values published by Evolution and sourced from certified game documentation.
Before each Money Wheel spin, the Top Slot — a separate, smaller RNG-driven wheel displayed above the main wheel — produces two results simultaneously: a segment type and a multiplier value.
The Top Slot selects a segment (for example, "2" or "Crazy Time") and a multiplier value (for example, 3x, 7x, or 50x). That multiplier is then applied to the corresponding segment on the Money Wheel for that round only. If the Money Wheel stops on the segment that has received the Top Slot multiplier, the payout for that segment is multiplied by the Top Slot figure.
The Top Slot produces "2" with a 7x multiplier. The Money Wheel stops on a "2" segment. Instead of the standard 2:1 payout, all players who bet on "2" receive 14:1 (2 × 7 = 14) on their stake. A S$10 bet on "2" returns S$140 plus the original S$10 stake, total S$150.
The Top Slot produces "Coin Flip" with a 3x multiplier. The Money Wheel stops on a Coin Flip segment. All players who bet on Coin Flip enter the Coin Flip bonus round, but all multipliers displayed in the bonus are multiplied by 3 before being applied. This is what creates the potential for extremely large Crazy Time bonus round outcomes.
The Top Slot operates on every round regardless of where the Money Wheel stops. If the Top Slot selects "Crazy Time" with a multiplier but the Money Wheel stops on "5", the Crazy Time multiplier is not applied — it only matters if the Money Wheel result matches the Top Slot segment. The Top Slot effectively creates a second layer of multiplier opportunity on top of the main wheel outcome.
Crazy Time's bonus rounds are the primary source of its high-variance appeal and the reason many Singapore players choose it over lower-variance live casino alternatives. Each bonus round has distinct mechanics and multiplier potential.
Coin Flip is the simplest and most frequent of the four bonus rounds, appearing on 4 of the 54 wheel segments (7.41% frequency).
When the Money Wheel lands on Coin Flip, a large physical coin is displayed, showing a red side and a blue side. Each side of the coin displays a multiplier value. The coin is flipped, and wherever it lands, all Coin Flip bet holders receive the multiplier shown on that side applied to their original Coin Flip bet.
The multiplier values on each side of the coin are randomly assigned each round by the RNG before the flip. Common outcomes are small multipliers on both sides (e.g., 3x red / 4x blue). However, Top Slot multipliers applied to Coin Flip in a given round multiply the displayed values before the coin is flipped, which can produce significantly higher outcomes.
If the Top Slot applies a 10x multiplier to Coin Flip in a round where the Money Wheel lands on Coin Flip, and the coin shows a 4x blue result, the effective payout is 4 × 10 = 40x for all Coin Flip bet holders. A S$20 Coin Flip bet returns S$20 × 40 = S$800 plus the original S$20 stake.
Pachinko appears on 2 of the 54 wheel segments (3.70% frequency) and uses a physical pegboard mechanism inspired by the Japanese arcade game of the same name.
When the Money Wheel stops on Pachinko, the presenter drops a physical disc from the top of a large wall filled with pegs. As the disc descends, it bounces off the pegs and eventually lands in one of the slots at the bottom of the board. Each bottom slot displays a multiplier value ranging from small (e.g., 2x) to high (e.g., 100x or more). A special "DOUBLE" slot is also present at the top of the board.
If the disc lands in the DOUBLE slot, the presenter doubles all multiplier values displayed on the board. The disc is then re-dropped. This DOUBLE mechanic can trigger multiple times in a single Pachinko round, potentially doubling the board values two, three or more consecutive times before the disc finally lands in a number slot. This is the mechanism responsible for some of Pachinko's highest observed payouts.
A player bets S$15 on Pachinko. The disc lands in the DOUBLE slot, doubling all board values. On the re-drop, the disc lands in the 50x slot (now doubled to 100x due to the DOUBLE). The player receives S$15 × 100 = S$1,500 plus the original S$15 stake, total S$1,515. If the round also had a Top Slot multiplier of 3x on Pachinko, the effective multiplier would be 100 × 3 = 300x.
Cash Hunt appears on 2 of the 54 wheel segments (3.70% frequency) and is the most interactive of the four bonus rounds, directly involving players in the multiplier selection process.
When Cash Hunt is triggered, a large grid of 108 symbols is displayed on screen. Behind each symbol is a hidden multiplier value. Players must use their on-screen cannon to aim at and select one of the 108 symbols before a countdown timer expires. The symbol they target is then removed to reveal the multiplier behind it, which is applied to their Cash Hunt bet.
The 108 symbols in Cash Hunt are drawn from a pool of casino-themed icons — dice, playing cards, dollar signs and other visuals. The multiplier values hidden behind the symbols range from small (e.g., 5x, 10x) through medium (50x, 100x) to large (250x, 500x or higher). The distribution of multipliers across the 108 symbols is set by the RNG each round and not visible to players before selection.
In Cash Hunt, each player targets a different symbol from their own perspective, meaning different players may receive different multipliers from the same bonus round. While this creates the illusion of player agency, the multiplier values behind the symbols are pre-set by the RNG before the round begins. No targeting strategy can improve the expected multiplier; the choice is purely random in practice. Any symbol selected has an equal probability of hiding any given multiplier.
The Crazy Time bonus round is the game's signature element and is triggered by the single Crazy Time segment on the 54-segment Money Wheel (1.85% frequency — approximately once every 54 spins on average). It has the highest potential multiplier of all four bonus rounds and is responsible for the game's most dramatic recorded sessions.
When the Crazy Time segment is triggered, the studio transitions to a separate virtual bonus environment featuring a large, colourful spinning wheel with three flapper positions (left, right and centre). Players who bet on Crazy Time in the main round choose which of the three flappers they want to use. The presenter spins the bonus wheel.
The Crazy Time bonus wheel has 64 segments. These include multiplier values ranging from 10x to very high numbers, as well as DOUBLE and TRIPLE slots. When the wheel lands on DOUBLE, all multiplier values on the bonus wheel are doubled and the wheel is respun. When it lands on TRIPLE, all values are tripled before respinning. This chaining of DOUBLE and TRIPLE outcomes on the Crazy Time bonus wheel is the mechanism behind the game's theoretical maximum multipliers in the range of tens of thousands times the original bet.
Players choose which flapper (left, centre or right) to use before the bonus wheel spins. Each flapper reads a different segment when the wheel stops. The three flappers may land on different multiplier values simultaneously, meaning different players in the same round may receive different payouts from the Crazy Time bonus. The choice of flapper does not change the mathematical expected value, as all three are equally likely to land on any given segment over time.
A Singapore player with a S$10 Crazy Time bet who enters the Crazy Time bonus round, selects the centre flapper, and the wheel lands on DOUBLE — doubling all values — then respins and lands on 1000x, would receive S$10 × 1,000 = S$10,000. If a Top Slot multiplier of 5x was applied to the Crazy Time segment in that round, the effective payout is S$10 × 1,000 × 5 = S$50,000. These outcomes are rare but are what distinguish Crazy Time as a high-variance live game show.
The following table summarises the mechanics, typical multiplier range and maximum theoretical multipliers for all four bonus rounds, including the effect of the Top Slot multiplier overlay.
| Bonus Round | Wheel Frequency | Core Mechanic | Typical Multiplier Range | Max Theoretical | Top Slot Eligible |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coin Flip | 7.41% | Coin toss reveals multiplier on winning side | 2x – 50x per side (base); higher with Top Slot | ~200x | Yes |
| Pachinko | 3.70% | Physical disc dropped through pegs; DOUBLE slot repeats drop with doubled values | 2x – 100x (base); 1,000x+ with DOUBLE chains | ~10,000x | Yes |
| Cash Hunt | 3.70% | Players target 1 of 108 symbols to reveal hidden multiplier | 5x – 500x | ~1,000x | Yes |
| Crazy Time | 1.85% | Separate 64-segment bonus wheel with DOUBLE and TRIPLE multipliers; player chooses one of three flappers | 10x – 2,000x (base); much higher with DOUBLE/TRIPLE chains | ~20,000x | Yes |
Maximum theoretical multipliers are extremely rare outcomes representing the upper end of the probability distribution. Typical session outcomes are substantially below theoretical maximums. All bonus round multipliers are applied to the player's original bet on that segment, not to the total wallet balance.
For players betting on number segments rather than bonus rounds, the following table shows the payout structure including the effect of Top Slot multipliers on number segments.
| Segment | Base Payout | With 3x Top Slot | With 5x Top Slot | With 10x Top Slot | S$10 Bet — 10x Top Slot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1:1 | 3:1 | 5:1 | 10:1 | S$10 bet returns S$110 total |
| 2 | 2:1 | 6:1 | 10:1 | 20:1 | S$10 bet returns S$210 total |
| 5 | 5:1 | 15:1 | 25:1 | 50:1 | S$10 bet returns S$510 total |
| 10 | 10:1 | 30:1 | 50:1 | 100:1 | S$10 bet returns S$1,010 total |
Total return figures include the original S$10 stake. Top Slot multipliers apply to the specific round where the matching segment is hit by both the Top Slot and the Money Wheel outcome in the same round.
Crazy Time is a high-variance live game show. The following guidance focuses on informed session management and setting appropriate expectations for the Crazy Time experience.
Crazy Time is one of the highest-variance live casino products available. Session outcomes can range from rapid bankroll depletion during extended number-only spins to large single-round wins when bonus rounds are triggered with high Top Slot multipliers. Players should approach Crazy Time with a session budget they are comfortable losing entirely, as variance can be extreme even over hundreds of rounds.
Betting exclusively on number segments (1, 2, 5, 10) produces more frequent but smaller wins. Betting on bonus round segments (Coin Flip, Pachinko, Cash Hunt, Crazy Time) produces infrequent wins but with higher multiplier potential. A balanced approach is to allocate the majority of your bet to the "1" segment (38.89% hit rate) as a base, with smaller allocations on bonus segments. This maintains regular small returns while preserving exposure to bonus round multipliers.
The Top Slot applies a multiplier to one segment each round. Because the Top Slot result is not known until after bets are placed, players cannot consistently target it. However, understanding that Top Slot multipliers can dramatically amplify any segment — particularly if a bonus round receives a large multiplier — clarifies why a single Crazy Time session can produce a wide range of outcomes from the same betting pattern.
Before playing Crazy Time, set a fixed SGD loss limit. Given the game's variance, it is common to experience 20–30 number-only rounds before a bonus round is triggered. Sizing your per-round bets so that your session budget supports at least 50–100 rounds gives you a meaningful number of opportunities for bonus round exposure without depleting the budget before any bonus round occurs.
Crazy Time is a game of chance. The interactive elements — targeting symbols in Cash Hunt, selecting a flapper in the Crazy Time bonus round — are entertainment features that do not influence the mathematical expected value of the outcome. All multiplier values in all four bonus rounds are determined by a certified RNG audited by BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs.
Crazy Time is not available at land-based casinos in Singapore. Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa do not offer live game show products of this type. The entire Crazy Time format — the Money Wheel, the four bonus rounds, the Top Slot multiplier system — is unique to online live casino platforms such as Maxim88.
Singapore players accessing Crazy Time at Maxim88 can do so from any device, at any time, with no travel required and no S$150 daily entry levy. Minimum bet sizes of S$0.10 per segment make Crazy Time accessible at almost any bankroll level, while the game's entertainment value is consistent regardless of stake size.
Deposits via PayNow, DBS, OCBC, UOB, POSB, GrabPay or Singtel Dash are processed in seconds and credited immediately. All winnings are credited in SGD and withdrawable via the same Singapore banking channels.
Online casino regulation in Singapore operates under the Remote Gambling Act 2014, which applies primarily to land-based operators. Most Singapore players access international casino platforms such as Maxim88, which holds international certifications from BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs rather than a Singapore-specific licence. Players are advised to review Singapore's online gambling guidelines and gamble responsibly.
Crazy Time is a certified game with published RTP figures. All bonus round outcomes are determined by audited RNG systems. Players who need support with gambling behaviour can contact the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) Singapore at 1800-6-668-668 or visit ncpg.org.sg.
