Funky Time is Evolution's disco-fuelled live game show, a glitter-ball, big-hair, Studio 54 trip back to the 1970s wrapped around one of the biggest money wheels in the live casino world. Launched in May 2023, it was Evolution's headline follow-up to the record-breaking Crazy Time, and it has stayed near the top of the live game show charts ever since. Pumping disco tracks, a charismatic live host, and non-stop carnival energy. That is the Funky Time vibe.
The whole show spins around a purpose-built 64-segment DigiWheel, ten segments more than the Crazy Time wheel. The DigiWheel is a fully digital, LED-panelled wheel that keeps its images upright as it turns, almost like a spinning television screen. The segments are split between the number 1, the letters that spell out PLAY, FUNK and TIME, and the four bonus game triggers. Land where you have bet and you either bank an instant prize or get whisked off to one of the four bonus rounds.
On the numbers side, the maximum win climbs to 10,000x your stake, capped at £500,000, and on every spin random multipliers of up to 50x can drop onto segments of the wheel. Volatility is high, which is the trade-off for those big bonus-round ceilings.
Getting into Funky Time at talkSPORT BET is quick and easy. Here is how a round works:
The 64 segments break down like this:
A quick reminder before you spin. Funky Time is a game of chance and outcomes are unpredictable, so play within your means. The talkSPORT BET Safer Gambling Portal is always there for setting deposit limits, time-outs, and product restrictions.
Funky Time has four bonus games, each its own slice of disco mayhem. One golden rule across all of them: if a multiplier landed on the segment that triggered the bonus, it comes with you and applies to your winnings.
The most commonly triggered bonus, with six segments on the wheel. The host takes you to the bar to meet the robot bartender, who is mixing three drinks. You pick one, and you win the multiplier revealed beneath your chosen drink. Quick, simple, and the bonus you will see most often.
Join Mr Funky on a 37-square dancefloor surrounded by club dancers, with the DJ (your live host) spinning the decks. Every time the record stops, an arrow sends Mr Funky dancing in one of four directions, collecting the multipliers from each square he lands on. He keeps grooving as long as the music carries him, and all the collected multipliers are totalled and applied to your wager.
The rarest and most lucrative of the lot, sitting on just one segment of the entire wheel. A souped-up Disco Bonus played across 64 squares with far bigger multiplier values in play, including 50x, 250x, 500x, and 1,500x. The VIP dancefloor is where the headline Funky Time wins are built.
A nerve-jangler. You pick one of four ball colours, then a bingo machine of 90 balls (each one of the four colours or black) starts drawing. There is a multiplier ladder running from 5x up to 10,000x. Every ball of your colour climbs you up the ladder. You have four lives, and every black ball drawn costs you one. When your lives run out, you bank whatever multiplier rung you reached.
