Crazy Time A vs Crazy Time: one wheel, two RTP tables
Crazy Time A vs Crazy Time: trackers call it a second studio of the same game. Two copies of Evolution's rules print different RTPs for six of eight bets.
Crazy Time A is, on the trackers’ account, the same Evolution game show as Crazy Time run from a second studio: identical rules, a separate 54-segment wheel, its own dealer and feed. The rules print a 96.08% optimal RTP. Two operator-hosted copies of those rules then print different returns for six of the eight bets.
This is a reference piece, not news. There is no launch, no announcement and no date to hang it on. What it adds is paperwork: this desk read two operator-hosted copies of Evolution’s Crazy Time rules and the Wizard of Odds analysis on 23 September 2026, and set the per-bet numbers side by side.
Is Crazy Time A the same as Crazy Time?
Same game, second room. That is the trackers’ answer, and it is the only one on the table. Casino.org’s CasinoScores page describes Crazy Time A as a dedicated Table A studio with a physically separate wheel, its own dealer and its own camera feed, running identical rules. Crazy-time.uk and Live Casino Comparer describe a second studio in similar terms.
Evolution’s own game page did not load for this desk, so nothing here quotes Evolution on the studio. The two rules documents do not help either. Neither mentions Crazy Time A, Table A or a studio anywhere in its text. A second studio running the same rules sheet has, on paper, the same math. The rules are what the player gets; the room is where the wheel happens to stand.
What the rules say the wheel is
The Loto-Québec copy of the rules lays out the wheel in one table. Fifty-four segments:
- 1: 21 segments, pays 1 to 1
- 2: 13 segments, pays 2 to 1
- 5: 7 segments, pays 5 to 1
- 10: 4 segments, pays 10 to 1
- Coin Flip: 4 segments
- Cash Hunt: 2 segments
- Pachinko: 2 segments
- Crazy Time: 1 segment
Divide by 54 and the 1 lands on 38.89% of spins, the Crazy Time bonus on 1.85%. The bonus rounds carry their own ceilings in the same document: Cash Hunt is a wall of 108 multipliers, Pachinko’s DOUBLE is replaced by a 10,000x multiplier once every value has reached 10,000x, and the Crazy Time bonus swaps DOUBLE and TRIPLE for 20,000x at the same point. Casino.org prints the same 54-segment distribution for Table A. The layout is not in dispute.
Crazy Time A vs Crazy Time RTP: one headline, two tables
Both rules files open their return section with the same sentence: the optimal theoretical return-to-player is 96.08%. Below it, each prints a per-bet table. They are not the same table.
| Bet | Segments | Loto-Québec copy | PokerStars-hosted copy | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 | 96.08% | 96.08% | 0.00 |
| 2 | 13 | 95.95% | 95.95% | 0.00 |
| 5 | 7 | 95.78% | 96.08% | 0.30 |
| 10 | 4 | 95.73% | 96.10% | 0.37 |
| Coin Flip | 4 | 95.70% | 96.49% | 0.79 |
| Cash Hunt | 2 | 95.27% | 96.09% | 0.82 |
| Pachinko | 2 | 94.33% | 95.70% | 1.37 |
| Crazy Time | 1 | 94.41% | 95.53% | 1.12 |
Segment counts are from the Loto-Québec copy. Gaps are percentage points, PokerStars-hosted copy higher in every case where they differ.
Three things stand out. The 1 and the 2 are identical in both. The Loto-Québec table runs from 94.33% to 96.08%, a spread of 1.75 points, with the two big-bonus spots at the bottom. The PokerStars-hosted table runs from 95.53% to 96.49%, and three of its lines sit above its own 96.08% “optimal” headline: the 10, Cash Hunt and Coin Flip. A document whose best bet is not its stated optimum could be a later table under an older sentence or a typo. The file does not say which.
Neither document is dated on its face. The files’ embedded metadata gives a creation date of 12 August 2020 for the Loto-Québec copy and 3 April 2024 for the PokerStars-hosted one. That is when the files were made, not when either table took effect, and this desk cannot tell which version any given table, main studio or Table A, is running. The numbers here were read from text extracted from the two PDFs, not from a rules panel in a live lobby.
Casino.org’s Table A page gives one figure, 96.08% across all bet types. That is the headline from the rules, applied to every spot. Neither rules document supports it for anything but the 1 and, in one copy, the 5.
What Wizard of Odds can and cannot tell you
The Wizard of Odds analysis is the only independent per-bet work in this picture, and it is candid about its limits. Its author writes that Evolution “is very protective of their game rules” and does not disclose the details a full math analysis needs. The missing piece is the Top Slot: which symbol it lands on and what multiplier comes with it.
To fill the gap, WoO took Tracksino’s record of 76,175 Top Slot spins and tweaked the data to bring every bet close to 96.08%, a return it attributes to Bitcasino.io rather than to Evolution. It says plainly that it does not claim the rules it reconstructs are exact.
Its most useful number is one it throws away. If the Top Slot symbol and multiplier were drawn independently, WoO estimates the flat number bets would return 92.22% on the 1, 90.22% on the 2, 98.57% on the 5 and 98.75% on the 10. WoO rejects that scenario and assumes Evolution weights the multipliers to even the returns out. Read with the rules tables, the point is this: the per-bet returns live in a weighting nobody outside Evolution can check. A second studio could run that weighting identically or not, and nothing public that this desk read lets anyone verify either way.
So which studio is better?
Neither, on the paperwork. Same wheel, same paytable, same 96.08% headline in both rules files. The per-bet differences in this piece sit between two versions of the rules document, not between two studios, and no source read here says which version applies where. The document that settles it for a given seat is the rules panel inside that table’s own game window, the same rules these two files are copies of. Read that, not a tracker’s single figure and not the table on this page.
What a second studio does change is the stream: a different dealer, a different room and a separate results history. The trackers keep Table A’s history apart from the main table’s. The spins are independent, so a hot or cold run on one wheel says nothing about the other.
For how Crazy Time’s numbers stack up against other wheels, this site has compared it with Game Night Live, Funky Time and MONOPOLY Live, and looked at the original four years on.
Crazy Time A vs Crazy Time: questions
Is Crazy Time A the same as Crazy Time?
On the trackers’ account, yes: the same Evolution game show, the same rules and the same 54-segment wheel layout, run from a second studio with its own wheel, dealer and camera feed. Neither operator-hosted rules document this desk read mentions Crazy Time A at all, so the studio split rests on the tracker sites, not on Evolution’s paperwork.
Does Crazy Time A have the same RTP as Crazy Time?
Both rules documents read on 23 September 2026 print a 96.08% optimal return, and no source read gives Crazy Time A a figure of its own. The catch is below the headline. The two copies disagree on six of the eight per-bet returns, from 0.30 points on the 5 to 1.37 points on Pachinko, and neither says which tables it covers.
How does Crazy Time A differ from the original?
Per the trackers, the difference is the room: a physically separate wheel, a separate dealer stream and a separate results history. Nothing in either rules document changes the paytable by studio. The one thing no public document read here settles is the Top Slot multiplier weighting, which Wizard of Odds says Evolution does not disclose.
What are Crazy Time A stats?
They are tracker records of the Table A wheel: spin history, segment frequency, bonus trigger rates and Top Slot results, logged separately from the main table. They describe what has already landed. Every spin is independent, so a cold bonus on either wheel says nothing about the next spin on that wheel or the other one.
18+. The per-bet table is a price list, not a tip sheet: every spot on this wheel returns less than it takes, in either studio. Open the rules panel at your own table before the first chip, budget the session in cash, set the stop-loss before the first spin, and watch the clock rather than the Top Slot.
