[Company News] Evolution today announced the launch of its unique new Funky Time live game show, a \u201970s disco-themed, bonus and multiplier-laden extravaganza, and the company\u2019s biggest new game show since Crazy Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This innovative online game with live presenter celebrates the iconic disco era with a retro club ambience, funky beats, daring dancefloor moves and the chance for players to accumulate multipliers in all phases of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the heart of the main game a spinning DigiWheel money wheel generates numerous random multipliers per round, which can further multiply winnings on either numbers, letters or bonus games. The 64 segments on the wheel, which spell out the words PLAY, FUNK and TIME, and which also feature a series of number 1s and various bonus game segments, offer different ways to win and progress in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Win on any of the number 1 or letter segments of the wheel and players can cash out instant wins. Win on a bonus segment and they proceed to one of four unique bonus games \u2013 Bar, Stayin\u2019 Alive, Disco, and VIP Disco \u2014 in which multipliers are guaranteed. While all bonus games offer great entertainment, Disco and VIP Disco really put the FUN in FUNKY, as both see the cool Mr Funky character step out onto the virtual dance floor to collect even more multipliers while avoiding toppling off the edge of the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Todd Haushalter, Evolution\u2019s Chief Product Officer, said: \u201cAt Evolution, we invented the live Game Show gaming category with Dream Catcher, and since then we\u2019ve never looked back. We have created most of the top 10 new games of the last five years, many of which are our live game shows, and we\u2019re confident that Funky Time will achieve similar success. When I first saw the DigiWheel, a big vertical revolving wheel with an electronic LED centre, I knew there was a great game show to be built around it. Then the team and I started brainstorming what that game could be, and we knew we were onto something very special with Funky Time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haushalter continued: \u201cAround 100 people were involved in getting Funky Time live, and I\u2019m incredibly proud of their achievements. It\u2019s the most expensive and complex game we\u2019ve ever created, but most importantly, it\u2019s a game that just oozes fun. I\u2019m often asked, \u2018what\u2019s the inspiration for new game ideas?\u2019 The answer comes from literally asking ourselves the question, \u2018what is the most fun game we can make?\u2019 While different players look for different things, Funky Time is sure to have broad appeal. We believe it\u2019s every bit as entertaining as Crazy Time, but it\u2019s got a completely different feel and it adds a few extra goodies too. I hope players enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6583","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
