The main games

Formats, odds and tips

Game shows are live-streamed wheel and dice games with a host, bonus rounds and multipliers. They're entertaining and simple, but the RTP varies a lot by bet, so it pays to know which spots are better.

Crazy Time

A money wheel with numbers 1, 2, 5, 10 and four bonus games (Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko, Crazy Time). RTP ranges from about 94.4% to 96.1% depending on the bet; the number 1 bet has the highest RTP, the bonus bets the lowest but the biggest potential.

Monopoly Live

Wheel plus a 3D bonus round. Similar RTP range; the 2 Rolls and 4 Rolls bonus bets are the high-variance options.

Lightning Roulette and Lightning Dice

Standard games with random multipliers (up to 500x) on some numbers, paid for by reducing the base payout on straight-up wins (29:1 instead of 35:1). RTP about 97.3% overall.

Dream Catcher and Funky Time

Simpler money wheels with multipliers. Easy to follow; RTP around 96%.

Tips

Spread bets across the wheel reduce variance but not the house edge. The 'cover everything' approach guarantees a loss over time. Set a session budget and treat bonus rounds as the entertainment they are.

Game shows move fast and are designed to be exciting. Use reality checks and a loss limit.
