Crazy Pachinko Live

How to play

Game Objective

Crazy Pachinko is a thrilling game that mixes the excitement of the slots and the fun of a live game show.

The objective of the game is to qualify for the live game show phase. Players spin the Qualification slot to collect three scatter symbols, accumulate multipliers, and qualify for the Pachinko Bonus round!

Players also have the option to boost their multipliers during the Top Up phase before the Pachinko Bonus round starts, for the chance to collect even bigger wins.

Game Rules

The game features three phases:

• Qualification
• Top Up
• Pachinko Bonus round

Qualification

The game begins with the Qualification phase, played using a five-reel, three-row slot with 10 fixed winlines, one scatter symbol and seven paying symbols (J, Q, K, A, Cherry, Bell, Wild).

The goal is to land three scatter symbols in one spin to qualify for the Pachinko Bonus round. The scatter symbols may bring multipliers or not. If a scatter is on the top row, the next spin nudges it down to the middle row; if a scatter is on the middle row, the next spin nudges it down to the bottom row; and if a scatter is on the bottom row, it disappears on the next spin.

After the player has successfully qualified, all Scatter multipliers are added and used in the Pachinko Bonus round to calculate the final multipliers. Scatter symbol multiplier values range up to 10x.

Players may still get payouts for winning combinations, which are paid out according to the pay table.

To spin the Qualification slot, players select the bet amount and click/tap SPIN.

• The bet selected in Normal mode becomes the player’s base bet and is used to calculate their winnings. • Activating the XXXtreme Spin mode helps the player qualify faster, by guaranteeing one scatter symbol each spin at the cost of an increased spin bet amount.
• Payouts are calculated using the base bet.

Top Up

After qualifying for the Pachinko Bonus round, and while waiting for it to begin, players have the option to spin the Top Up slot for an extra cost to boost their multipliers.

The Top Up phase features a 16-reel slot, where each of the 16 squares is a reel that spins on its own, plus 16 sectors at the bottom with virtual values based on the player's selected bet — the higher the bet, the higher the multiplier options are; values range from 2x to 100x.

To spin the Top Up slot, the minimum Top Up bet amount equals the bet the player qualified with (the base bet).

By choosing to increase the Top Up bet amount, the player also increases the value of multipliers. Multipliers move to a sector below the reel and may stack randomly under the vertical reel.

Once the Top Up time runs out, the player is transferred to the Pachinko Bonus round.

If the player joins the Top Up phase a certain time before the Pachinko Bonus round is about to begin, a pop-up message appears on the screen. Click/tap BONUS to join the Pachinko Bonus or TOP UP to stay in Top Up and wait for the next bonus round. If no decision is made, the player is automatically transferred to the Pachinko Bonus round.

Pachinko Bonus round

Once the Pachinko Bonus round starts, players can sit back and enjoy the live show led by a game host. The Pachinko Bonus game features an exciting multiplier wall, containing a random puck drop zone at the top and 16 random multipliers in the landing zone at the bottom. The puck is dropped randomly between zones 4 and 12.

During the Pachinko Bonus round, Pachinko multipliers are generated for all players equally. Pachinko multiplier values range from 10x up to 200x and are common to all players.

After receiving the Pachinko multipliers, all multipliers (Scatter, Top Up, and Pachinko) are calculated together: (Pachinko multipliers x Scatter multipliers) + Top Up multipliers Final multipliers.

The Final multipliers are displayed separately on every Pachinko zone.

The game host then drops the puck from the giant Pachinko wall on a randomised dropping zone. The multiplier in the landing zone of the puck will be applied to your bet, determining the final amount of your prize.

If, however, the puck lands on the DOUBLE zone, that means there will be a Double Event: the puck will be re-dropped, and all prizes on the multiplier wall are now worth much more!

The Pachinko multipliers are doubled and the final multipliers are then re-calculated: (doubled Pachinko multipliers x Scatter multipliers) + Top Up multipliers Final multipliers.

The Double Event can only occur once during the Pachinko Bonus round.

The bonus game ends when the puck lands in a zone with a multiplier.

Payouts

Qualification slot winlines are paid out immediately, unless the player qualifies. If a player qualifies and gets one or more winlines in the same spin, then the payout for the winlines is processed after the Pachinko Bonus round.

Qualification slot winlines

The Qualification slot has 10 fixed winlines.

• Winlines pay if there are at least three symbols in an uninterrupted sequence matching one of the patterns, starting from the first leftmost reel to the rightmost reel
• Only the highest symbol combination on a winline is paid out, even if there is more than one type of combination on a given winline
• There can be one or more winlines in the same spin. Simultaneous wins on different winlines are added together
• The player’s initial bet is not returned on top of their winnings

The amount paid out using the base bet is based on the type and count of collected symbols and is displayed on the screen immediately after the spin.

Pachinko Bonus game payout

The Pachinko Bonus round payout is calculated based on the base bet and the final multiplier received during the Bonus game.

The final multiplier is calculated in the following way:

• Scatter multiplier obtained x Pachinko Bonus game multiplier. Example: The player has a Scatter multiplier of 8x, and a Pachinko Bonus game multiplier of 15x. That means 8 x 15 = 120. Now the player has a multiplier of 120x.
• Then, the total Top Up multipliers are added. Example: The player has a multiplier of 120x now, plus a Top Up multiplier of 4x. That means 120 + 4 = 124. Now the player has a multiplier of 124x.
• Finally, the current multiplier is multiplied by the value of the base bet. Example: The player has a multiplier 124x, and a base bet of £2. That means 124 x 2 = 248. The final payout is, then, £248.

The game has a theoretical payout cap defined and player’s Top Up bets are checked against that cap before each Top Up spin. If the Payout cap is reached, certain bet values might not be available.

MAX PAYOUT £500,000

Crazy Pachinko

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. 

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.

Terms and Conditions

This game has a theoretical ranged return to player (RTP) of 95.010% - 96.040%.

For any payout which gives out fractional payments, these will be rounded down to 2 decimal places.

System malfunction voids all pays and all plays.

Due to high production values of this game, lower-tier hardware may run into compatibility issues and, in certain instances, you will not be able to play.

Any winnings will be correctly credited to the player account and will be exact according to the result prior to the game being interrupted.

All results are predetermined.
