Crazy Pachinko Live

Crazy Pachinko is a live game show that was originally a bonus round on another of Evolution’s creations, Crazy Time. This game has very simple rules, and even though it is split into three stages, is suitable for beginners. 

During the Pachinko stage of the game, you will watch as a glowing orb falls down the studio wall into one of the multiplier slots. However, before you can get to that stage, you need to qualify and complete the multiplier top-up stage. 

As with other live casino games developed by Evolution, screen prompts and the live host will guide you through the Crazy Pachinko stages. You can chat with the host if you wish to, though the fast-paced gameplay might make it difficult to get a reply in time. 

The Three Stages of Crazy Pachinko 

Unlike most other live games, you can start playing Crazy Pachinko just as soon as you’ve launched the game. The first stage of the game features a five-reel slot that you can play at your own pace. To start playing, simply set your wager and click on the spin button. The reels will spin and any winning combinations will be paid out according to the paytable. 

Your main objective during this first stage of the game is to land three scatters. Scatters can stay on the slot for multiple spins, moving down one row until they’ve left the visible grid. Some scatters also feature multipliers which come into play during the final stage of the game. 

If you’d rather not wait for these to land randomly, you can select one of options. The first option guarantees one scatter and costs 15x your base wager. 

Bonus buy functions are not permitted, the XXXtreme function at 15 x the base stake provides a better chance of qualification to the next round and should not be phrased as “bonus buy”  

The second option at x75 base stake is not present in this version of the game. 

When you’ve landed three scatters, you’ll progress to the next two stages of the game. At this point, you will be guaranteed a payout, however, the value of this prize has yet to be determined during the next two stages of the game. 

Crazy Pachinko Features 

After you’ve passed the qualifying stage, you’ll be shown a top-up screen. Three multipliers will show on the screen and you’ll have the opportunity to add more multipliers by spinning the reels. Each spin costs money, and the higher your wager, the higher the potential multiplier values will be. 

You can only play the top-up stage as long as there is time. Once the ‘Seconds until Pachinko’ marker reaches zero, this stage will end and you’ll be taken to the final stage of the game. 

Pachinko Round 

The Crazy Pachinko final round is played on a wide studio screen that features 16 possible outcomes. Multipliers collected during the two previous stages of the game are applied to all outcomes and one is assigned the ‘Double’ bonus. If the orb falls into this segment all multipliers will be doubled and the orb will be dropped once again. 

A live host stands on the stairs next to the screen and walks up to unleash the glowing orb. The orb gradually drops to the bottom of the screen and into one of the multipliers, providing you with the corresponding payout.
