Crazy Balls

Crazy Balls Live by Evolution is a hybrid live dealer game show. It blends the excitement of real-time entertainment shows with the strategic elements of bingo, much like Mega Ball. However, it’s a mix of Crazy Time and Monopoly Big Baller, two very famous Evolution releases.

Gameplay is filled with multipliers, bingo cards, and four thrilling bonus rounds. With an optimal RTP rate of 96.10% and a maximum payout of 20,000x, Crazy Balls Live is a Crazy Time bingo game that mixes Evolution’s beloved bonus rounds with bingo.

Evolution loves its live game shows, that much is certain. What’s more, Crazy Time seems to be the favorite child out of the bunch, which is unsurprising considering the time and effort it was poured into making that game.

With Crazy Balls Live, players get a crossover between Crazy Time and Monopoly Big Baller, meaning the Crazy Time bonus rounds are now mixed in with bingo draws.

To play Crazy Balls, players first select the stake and the number of cards they want to play. There are four regular cards and cards for the bonus rounds.

Then the ball draw commences. The dealer/game host will announce each ball draw, and if the numbers match the numbers on players’ cards, they will be highlighted.

The entire point is to complete lines to win, or complete lines on bonus bingo cards to get into the bonus rounds.

Players can choose between two types of standard bingo-style cards: Free Space or Multi cards. Free Space cards have the central cell ‘free’, something like a Wild space that counts as a drawn number so players have a better chance of completing lines.

Multi cards have Multipliers in the central space, so players have a better chance of hitting higher payouts, but not lines.

In total, Crazy Balls Live offers around eight bingo cards and a bingo machine with 60 numbered balls.

The Bonus round cards are dedicated to Crazy Time rounds: Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko, and Crazy Time bonus rounds. Completing all the numbers on a bonus card activates its respective round.

During the round, players select their cards, toggle between Free Space and Multiplier options, and place bets.

Then, during gameplay, random multipliers and free spaces (called daubs) are assigned to cards at play. When 20 numbers are drawn from the ball machine, matching numbers on all the players’ cards are marked off.

Completing lines on standard cards yields payouts, while filling all numbers on bonus cards grants access to bonus rounds.

Visually, the game takes after Crazy Time, which is not surprising. The four bonus rounds are the same as in Crazy Time, so there’s no surprise there.

Crazy Balls Live payouts come from filling lines in the standard bingo cards.

Filling in the cards for bonus rounds does not yield any kind of payout, but instead you gain entry to the special rounds.

Free Space cards pay from 2x to 39:1. Multi cards pay 2x to 199:1. The RTP rate for both is 96.10%.

Winnings in the game are capped at $500,000 per single round.

To play, you can select a stake that’s between $0.10 and $4,000.

Crazy Balls Live incorporates four recognizable features that Crazy Time first introduced. Those are Coin Flip, Pachinko, Cash Hunt, and Crazy Time.

Besides those, the game also uses Free Daubs and Multipliers.

Free Spaces and Multipliers

Random free spaces (daubs) and Multipliers will be randomly generated on the cards players wager on. The daub is a free space that acts as a drawn number. Multipliers are activated when its number is drawn.

There are three types of Multipliers: Standard, valued 10x-20x; Line, worth 20x-50x; and Global, which are worth 2x-3x.

Standard Multipliers pay when a Multiplier’s number is drawn and completed a line. It’s possible to have more than one Standard Multipliers on a winning line, in which case their values are added together.

Line Multipliers apply to entire lines. The rules are the same as for the Standard ones.

Lastly, the Global Multiplier applies to all line wins on the card (including Line and Standard Multipliers). You can have up to two Global Multipliers per card.

Coin Flip Bonus Round

To enter Coin Flip – or any other bonus game – you need to wager on a bonus bingo card corresponding the round and complete lines.

Coin Flip requires 3 completed numbers. Moreover, in Coin Flip, it’s possible to get one random free space (daub) that helps you win more. It’s also possible to get 2x-50x Multipliers.

Coin Flip is a simple game of coin flip which determines the multiplier prize for all participating players. Multipliers assigned to each coin side determine payouts once the flip is finished. The RTP for this round is 96.49%.

Cash Hunt Bonus Round

The same thing as with Coin Flip: fill 4 numbers on the special Cash Hunt bingo card to enter the round. Once there, a grid of hidden multipliers will stand before you, and you will aim for the highest value. Where’s the highest possible multiplier? Aim for targets on the board and see. Prizes in this round range from 10x to 500x, while the RTP is 96.09%.

Pachinko Bonus Round

To enter Pachinko, you need 4 numbers completed on the card.

Pachinko is a Multiplier board wall game. A bouncing puck determines the prize, with a chance to double multiplier values for massive wins. At the start of the game, the puck is released from the top and left to find its way to the end of the grid in the landing zones. A puck might hit the multiplier, whose value is applied to the puck. If it hits DOUBLE, the value is doubled for all Multipliers on screen and the puck is released again. The maximum win capacity in this round is 10,000x. The RTP is 95.68%.

Crazy Time Bonus Round

Finally, the fourth and final bonus round is Crazy Time. It’s a wheel game, if you remember from Crazy Time. To get the round, you need to complete 5 numbers on the bingo cards.

Inside the round, a 64-segment wheel offers multipliers and double opportunities. The wheel spins with 3 flappers, each pointing at a different section on the wheel. The wins are multiplied by the Multiplier your flapper lands on. It’s possible to DOUBLE the value. The maximum payout is 20,000x and the RTP: 95.54%.
