Bonus rounds in Evolution Gaming Funky Time
Bonus games can produce totally unpredictable results. You can win x5 or x1000 there. That is why players are so excited when the flapper finds its resting position on any bonus label of the wheel.
Important note: Only the players who have placed a bet on the bonus spot before the round starts are entitled to participate in that bonus once it lands in that round. Players who have not made a wager on one or another bonus will just watch the bonus gameplay without taking part and receiving any cash prizes.
The live show features four bonuses. Their hit frequency is given in the table above. Notably, by clicking “All Bonuses” in your UI betting area, you spend four monetary units at once but increase your chance of landing any of the four bonuses to 18.76%. In other words, almost every fifth rotation leads to a mini-game.
Bar bonus
This is the most frequent bonus round in Evolution Gaming Funky Time, but it typically provides low to medium profits. If you play the live show for 10-15 minutes, you will certainly see this bonus feature in action. Once the bonus gets underway, the presenter enters the “Bar“ part of the studio, featuring a retro-style bar counter with a robot bartender. The presenter rings a desk bell and asks the bartender to mix her a drink.
There are three glasses on the counter, and each participating player has about 6-8 seconds to pick one of three glasses. If a player fails to make a pick within that time, the game picks a glass randomly. The robot starts to pour a drink into each glass, and a few seconds later, each will be assigned a random multiplier of x2 to x20. After that, the robot rotates its head at 180 degrees to reveal a one-reel slot at what is the back of the robot’s head.
The reel begins spinning and shows an extra multiplier of x2 to x5 to be then applied to a random glass as its garnish. This means the highest theoretical win in the Bar bonus is x100 unless the main game’s multiplier is applied, in which case the greatest prize reaches x5000 (though its chances are close to zilch).
Stayin’ Alive bonus
This Funky Time Live bonus features a ball-drawing machine, and its logic is similar to the one implemented in Cash Or Crash. Once inside the game, you will see a massive ball-drawing device of transparent plastic. The cylinder contains 80 balls of four colours: Black, Orange, Pink, and Green.
Above the machine, there is a multiplier paytable divided into three columns relevant to the ball colours, except for Black. Each of the three paytables consists of a list of multipliers, from the highest (x1000) at the top to the lowest at the bottom (x5). If a random multiplier lands on that segment in the main game, it is applied before the round starts. There are many youtube videos showing huge multipliers on the paytables, so this is not a rare situation.
At the beginning of the round, each player must pick a team, Orange, Pink or Green. The game starts at the lowest tier (x5), with all players having four lives. The feature has three types of balls:
- Black ball: If a black ball is expelled from the tube, all players lose a life and stay on the current multiplier level.
- Coloured ball with number 1: Players advance one step at the multiplier ladder of the respective colour.
- Coloured ball with number 2: Players advance two steps at the multiplier ladder of the respective colour.
The bonus ends when the lives counter gets to zero. The winnings are paid out per the multiplier tier of your selected colour. The bonus game is capped at x10,000. Funky Time stats reveal that an average win in this bonus is x10 to x200.
Disco bonus
This is the most spectacular bonus feature in the live show due to the wide use of augmented reality that brings interactivity and engagement in Funky Time live casinos, merging the real world with the virtual one. Once the bonus launches, the host goes to the “Disco” door, enters a virtual dance floor, and proceeds to a DJ rack.
The dance floor has 37 tiles, and the game begins from the central tile, on which Mr Funky stands. The presenter, standing at the DJ booth, initiates a mini wheel looking like a vinyl record and featuring eight sectors that show directions: left, right, up, and down—two of each kind. Mr Funky makes one step in the direction commanded by the DJ, reaping a prize, if any.
There are four outcomes of each move. Mr Funky
- Steps on a multiplier: Regular multipliers are x1, x2, and x5. Just a couple of multiplies at the edge of the floor have x20 and x100 values.
- Steps on “X”: This is a floor multiplier that doubles five random multipliers depicted on the tiles.
- Falls off the dance floor: This occurs when Mr Funky is standing at the edge and the mini-wheel on the DJ rack stops at the arrow that leads Mr Funky outward.
- Steps on a normal tile featuring no multiplier: When Mr Funky steps on a multiplier, that tile will become empty for two consecutive rounds, after which it resets to the same multiplier that existed initially.
As the case is with the Bar bonus, the max win is x10,000. But in real-world contexts, this is hardly attainable.
VIP Disco bonus
This seems to be one of the most lucrative and rarely-hit bonus features in Funky Time Live. It is played in the same way as a normal Disco bonus, except that the dance floor has 63 squares, and the multipliers are higher. In fact, the multipliers on the central part are x1, so players will only win a little here. But those approaching the edge are really huge, at x10, x20, x30, and x100.
