Crazy Pachinko

2023 is the year of live slots, it seems, as Evolution launched a second live slot titled Crazy Pachinko. Crazy Pachinko Live is a live casino slot game that combines elements of online slots and Pachinko. Pachinko is actually quite popular as one of the bonus rounds from Evolutions’ legendary Crazy Time live game show.

In Crazy Pachinko, players get a shot at winning $500,000 with Sticky Scatters, Accumulated Multipliers, and many other surprises stored in the fast-paced gambling show. If you are a fan of either Crazy Time, Crazy Pachinko, live slots, online slots, or just simple classic gambling fun with multipliers, be sure to check out Crazy Pachinko. More game info in the review below!

Crazy Pachinko Live is the definition of a fast-paced live dealer game. If you remember, Crazy Time (but honestly, who can forget Crazy Time) had 4 Bonus rounds. Well, one of them was a Pachinko round, which is that game. Crazy Pachinko combines a live slot with a Pachinko wall to create a 2-phase gambling game offering up to $500,000 wins. Crazy Time was the source of inspiration for another live game show with a similar vibe to this called Crazy Coin Flip, thanks to whose success we got the Crazy Pachinko.

The first phase of the game is a slot – a live slot, that is. Most of the game is spent in the slot as the players try to hit the bonus round of Pachinko. Pachinko is the ‘live casino’ part of the game as it’s a real-time stream of the game. The slot is as computer-generated as it can be in a live dealer slot game.

To play Crazy Pachinko, be prepared first for the slot phase, then the Top-up Phase during which you boost Multipliers for the third and final phase of Pachinko.

The first slot phase is called the Qualification Phase. There’s a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. The game consists of 7 paying symbols (card royals, a cherry, a Bell, and a Wild) and a Scatter. As you can guess, your main task is to hit 3 Scatters across one payline to get into the Bonus round. But before that happens, you can hit some pretty great prizes as all icons have decent payouts.

Scatters are Nudged a position down the reel, so please bear that in mind as it might disappear. Scatters also potentially carry Multipliers that can go up to 10x. These Multipliers are great for the Pachinko bonus round and you get to use them once you get there.

Crazy Pachinko has high volatility and a 96.05% RTP. You can play the game only in real-money mode at every Evolution live casino. We’ll explain the Multiplier and Pachinko bonus rounds in the sections below.

To play Crazy Pachinko, players will have to prepare a bet that suits the betting range of $0.10-$3,750 per round.

The slot section of the game, or the Qualification Phase, is a slot with 5 reels and 3 rows. Icons in the slot section include classic gambling symbols such as card royals J, Q, K, and A, as well as cherries and bells. The lowest icon is the J paying 0.3x-2x. On the other hand, you have bells paying 5x-20x for a 5-of-a-kind across the board.

The game’s payout is capped at $500,000. The classic payouts can be boosted using Multipliers that, if you choose to Top them Up, can go up double. In total, the range of Multipliers is 10x-200x.

Finally, the game’s RTP rate is 96.05% with the XXXtreme Spin option, while a normal round, as well as Feature Buy both have a 96.04% RTP. Finally, choosing the Top Up option unlocks a less-than-favourable RTP of 95.01%.

Finally, the slot allows you to use Feature Buy and XXXtreme Spins to increase winning chances. XXXtreme Spins cost 15x the stake, while you can purchase Feature Buy that leads to the Pachinko bonus round for 75x.

Crazy Pachinko sounds very crazy, indeed. For the most part, players spend the most time in the Qualification phase (the slot) trying to gain entrance to the Pachinko bonus round.

So, you hit 3 Scatters anywhere on the 5×3 grid, you will get to visit the Pachinko bonus round. Bear in mind that the Scatters nudge down the grid, so if you have one that’s on the third row, it might disappear. Scatters are also quite handy as they might come with an attached Multiplier that can go up to 10x. If you don’t want to wait for the feature to unlock, you can always use the Feature Buy or XXXtreme Spin to get there faster.

The game’s second round is the Top-up Round, which is the phase between the slot and the Pachinko rounds. Players who have qualified for the Pachinko bonus round that are waiting for the round to commence typically spend their time waiting in the Top-Up game. It’s optional, so you technically do not have to participate if you don’t’ want to, but you can if you want better wins in the Pachinko game.

The Top-Up game is a 4×4 grid with rows of icons that might carry Multipliers – which you can then stack and carry onto the Pachinko wall. You can spend extra time in here or move onto the Pachinko game if you want to catch even more Multipliers.

Finally, the game’s third and final round is the Pachinko game. Essentially, it’s the only truly live dealer section of the game, with a live presenter who hosts the game round.

The core of the game is the puck ball dropped from the top of the Pachinko wall headed down to the potential pockets. There are 16 potential pockets with 16 different prizes. Each pocket might get a randomly assigned Multiplier or a Multiplier you’ve stacked during the Top-Up game/base game. See more details about payouts in the Payouts section above.

Finally, there’s a chance to double prizes and get another puck drop – if the puck lands in the DOUBLE pocket! This can happen only once in the game round, though.
