There’s no shortage of retro-inspired titles in the live casino space, but Funky Time doesn’t just dip its toes into the disco decade — it dives in headfirst with flared trousers, flashing lights, and a wheel large enough to make Studio 54 jealous. Created by Evolution as a spiritual sibling to Crazy Time, Funky Time is a live game show that swaps traditional roulette-style spins for a massive LED DigiWheel.
The format centres around a 64-segment wheel divided into numbered spaces, letters, and bonus zones. Players place their bets on individual segments like "Number 1", letters spelling "FUNK", "PLAY", and "TIME", or one of four dedicated bonus rounds. Betting begins at 0.10, and with the possibility of multipliers up to 10,000x, there’s no mistaking this for a traditional table game.
Evolution has already produced a string of popular live game show formats, from Dream Catcher to Crazy Time and Monopoly Live. Funky Time borrows the bones of those predecessors but builds a new body of features on top — interactive bonus rounds, expanding multipliers, and a wheel that’s literally a screen. Whether it’s more polished than Crazy Time is debatable, but there’s no denying it’s aiming to one-up it on spectacle.
Here’s how you can get started and play Funky Time for yourself:
If you aren't already registered, click on the green 'Sign Up' button in the top right corner and fill in the required fields. You can then verify your account and make a deposit if you want to play Funky Time with real funds.
Rather than spinning symbols on reels, Funky Time is all about where the wheel lands. Players can place wagers on individual segments: 28 "Number 1" spaces, 24 letter spaces, and 12 bonus segments. Letters are split into the three words FUNK, PLAY, and TIME. The remaining segments trigger four distinct bonus games.
Here's a breakdown of Funky Time’s bet types and corresponding payouts:
Segment | Number of Segments | Colour | Payout Range | Probability | Avg. Spins to Hit |
Number 1 | 28 | Yellow | 1:1 – 50:1 | 43.75% | 2.28 |
Letters – FUNK | 8 | Red | 25:1 – 1250:1 | 37.5% | 2.66 |
Letters – PLAY | 8 | Orange | 25:1 – 1250:1 | 37.5% | 2.66 |
Letters – TIME | 8 | Pink | 25:1 – 1250:1 | 37.5% | 2.66 |
BAR Bonus | 6 | Green | Up to 500,000 | 9.38% | 10.66 |
Stayin’ Alive Bonus | 2 | Light Blue | Up to 10,000x | 3.13% | 32 |
Disco Bonus | 3 | Purple | Up to 10,000x | 4.69% | 21.36 |
VIP Disco Bonus | 1 | Scarlet | Up to 10,000x | 1.56% | 64.1 |
Funky Time’s 64-segment DigiWheel is more than just eye candy — it’s a fully animated LED surface. Random multipliers of up to 50x are applied to various segments before each spin. If a bet hits one of these boosted segments, the payout gets a hefty kick.
Players who’ve bet on the BAR segment get to choose one of three mocktails — Blue, Yellow, or Purple. Each glass hides a multiplier between 2x and 20x. As the robot bartender pours, an additional reel may randomly assign a further multiplier to one of the drinks.
Named for the Bee Gees anthem, this is the most interactive bonus. Players select one of three ladders (Green, Purple, or Orange), each with 20 multiplier levels and four lives. Coloured balls are drawn bingo-style to move players up their ladder. Draw four black STOP balls, and it’s game over. But if you make it far, the multipliers can potentially reach 1,000x — and higher if the segment had a pre-spin multiplier applied.
Mr Funky takes centre stage on a 3x3 dance floor. A mini-wheel determines which direction he’ll move — up, down, left, or right. Each square contains a multiplier between 1x and 100x. If Mr Funky steps off the edge, the round ends. If he possibly lands on a special tile, five existing tiles double in value.
Same dance concept, bigger dance floor. VIP Disco expands the grid to 7x9 squares, with multipliers climbing to 500x. There’s more floor to move through, meaning longer rounds and potentially much larger multipliers — though of course, it’s rarer to trigger.
Funky Time walks the same runway as Crazy Time, but with more segments and flashier visuals. If you're into game-show-style randomness with bonus-packed features, you’ll definitely want to check out Treasure Island at BetVictor’s live casino.
