Crazy Time vs Monopoly

This blog was last updated on:

If you are a fan of live casino games – and Evolution Gaming in particular, then you will be somewhat familiar with two of their top games… Crazy Time and Monopoly. These are both ‘Wheel of Fortune’ style live games – where you simply need to bet on different sections of the wheel and hope that lady luck is on your side.

Although there are many similarities, there are also some fundamental differences. Let’s look at how Crazy Time compares with Monopoly, which one has the best winning potential and which one would be best for you!

Payout and Probability Comparison

Both of these live casino games are played on wheels that are split into 54 segments. But, they are very different in terms of what they offer:

Crazy Time Wheel and No of Segments RTP and Win Probability Monopoly Wheel and No of Segments RTP and Win Probability
1x (21) 96.08% | 38.8% 1x (22) 92.88% | 40.74%
2x (13) 95.95% | 22.22% 2x (15) 96.23% | 27.22%
5x (7) 95.78% | 12/96% 5x (7) 91.30% | 12.96
10x (4) 95.73% | 7.40% 10x (4) 96.02% | 7.40%
Coin Flip (4) 95.70% | 7.40%    
Pachinko (2) 94.33 | 3.70% 2 Rolls (3) 93.90% | 5.55%
Cash Hunt (2) 95.27% | 3.70% Chance (2) 95.27% | 3.70%
Crazy Time (1) 94.41% | 1.85% 4 Rolls (1) 93.67% | 1.85%

Based on the above, there are certain facts that we can deduce:

  1. Monopoly has 3 more numbered sections than Crazy Time.
  2. If you are playing for multiplier wins, Crazy Time is slightly better.
  3. There are 4 bonus games in Crazy Time while Monopoly only has 3, but Monopoly bonuses return slightly less.
  4. You are more likely to get fewer but bigger wins on Monopoly than Crazy Time.

What is Better to Play – Crazy Time or Monopoly?

Realistically, we all know that we don’t purely choose our preferred live casino game based on a slightly better RTP or win probability. We also need to factor in the gameplay.

There are always lots of small wins happening in Crazy Time, but not as many big payouts – which may not appeal to you. But, if you want to keep your gaming bankroll topped up, then it’s ideal. When you understand how to play Crazy Time, you will start working out which are the best bets to make for bigger wins.

On the other hand, because Monopoly is branded, it appeals to a player familiar with board games like this – and its dice bonus features are lots of fun.

So, if you want more regular wins then try out Crazy Time, whereas if you’re looking for more fun, you may prefer Monopoly.

The Special Features

Let’s take a closer look at the bonus features, which is the biggest attraction of both games:

Crazy Time

Starting with Coinflip – taking up 4 of the 9 segments. Two random numbers are chosen and put on a coin with one red and one blue side – the coin is tossed and you get whatever multiplier lands face up.

The second most frequent is Cash Hunt with 2 segments. There are 108 hidden random multipliers. You simply shoot at the symbols to reveal the multiplier.

Pachinko also has 2 segments. A ball is dropped down the top of a pegged wall and it lands in one of the 16 multiplier zones.

Crazy Time bonus which is played on a separate screen. You pick one of the three differently coloured flappers and if it lands on a multiplier, double or triple, you win.

Monopoly

This game has three bonus rounds on 6 segments:

Chance takes up 2 segments and doesn’t require any wager to be won… which sets this apart from all the others. If you win, it awards a multiplier for the next spin or a cash prize.
There are also 2 Rolls and 4 Rolls, which are essentially the same. You go over to the board where you have 2 or 4 rolls of the dice while Mr Monopoly walks around collecting the prizes. Roll a double and get an extra spin!

So, although there are more bonuses in Crazy Time, there’s something fun about relying on the roll of the dice and watching Mr Monopoly walk around the board that can’t be beaten!

What Type of Player Are You?

So what’s the key takeaway here? We believe the best game depends on what type of player you are.

  • If you are looking for multipliers and number bets, then you may prefer Crazy Time as this has the best RTP for number wins.
  • If you are playing for bonuses then Crazy Time has more bonus rounds, but they end up paying out a very similar amount as Monopoly. Many prefer playing the bonus rounds in Monopoly and consider them to be more fun.
  • Both games have their maximum win capped at $500,000 – so no matter which ones you chose – you can walk away a massive winner!

Conclusion – Which Game Should You Try First?

These games may be similar, but there are some fundamental differences that set them apart from each other. Crazy Time has lots of bonus rounds and more number wins but is known for lots of small wins. However, the bonus rounds in Monopoly may come around less frequently but tend to pay out more and many find them to be more fun overall… In terms of RTP, there isn’t much to choose between them.

We have both of these games ready and waiting in our live casino… and because it’s all a matter of personal taste and what type of player you are, you can see which one you like the best for yourself!
