Opinions on Evo's Funky Time

It's interesting to play as a new game, though i agree with others it doesn't feel as fun as Crazy Time, and payback potential seems alot more blunted.

The letters paying 25:1 is a good feature though the fact it's a 64 segment wheel layout & only other number is 1 means there's not many strats you can devise & apply to the game.

The only bonus round i really liked was Staying Alive. Bar just seems pointless, despite there being 6 segments of it, and both the Disco's seem really slow & it got quite boring when you can see that any extra moves are only going to land on another 1x - i can imagine a big bonus on Disco could go on for 20 minutes lol - it just bores on for so long, and definitely nowhere near as exciting as seeing CT wheel land a Double or Triple.

 
I think Funky Time is a decent proof-of-concept for the Digiwheel technology. The way multipliers are distributed on the wheel is clever and unlike Crazy Time, it allows for more than one betting space to get a multiplier. I'm not a fan of some of the design choices such as multiple clumps of '1' segments on the wheel and the entirely RNG-based "Bar" bonus. They also need to fix the ball hopper for the Stayin' Alive bonus - too many issues with the camera and the speed and the next ball in the queue getting spoiled.

Finally, I think there should have been a 5th bonus game that utilized the Digiwheel itself. What a HUGE missed opportunity to not have a fully digital wheel transform into a unique bonus game. Think of a live Crazy Time style wheel with jackpot multipliers, doubles, and triples that change every time.   

The biggest disappointment is that this took 3 years after Crazy Time to come out. A company the size of Evolution should be releasing big wheel gameshows every year.

Oh man, i think the actual Digiwheel itself is an absolutely awesome piece of kit! It looks such slick & clean design! That was most enjoyable part of playing Funky Time for me, as i love cool, new tech.

And yep i agree that the potential for future games on those wheels will be really interesting to see! 

 
I don't even think I'll bother playing it. There are too many betting spots, making the average person want to bet more.

I also don't care for the length of the Disco bonus games. Waiting like 12 minutes to hit an 8x isn't fun.

I think there should be a "top slot" on the arrows of that bonus game, letting the dancer move more than 1 spot at a time, and collecting the multipliers on the way. You could still have the same payouts but it would speed it up.

I totally agree - you feel like you need to cover more spots and the disco bonus is just too slow for little reward

@LordshipI gave it a try and ready to my conclusion.... Feels like.. You know when a man tells a woman I have a big pickle.... Then she has to use a magnifying glass to find it? Well this is how I feel 😂

Too many bonuses with no good outcome. Prefer less of them but with more exciting wins. Tho I like the fun side of it, with the music and all.

My casino VIP account manager told me it's not about the size of the bonus, it's about how i ride it 🤣🤣
