Funky Time Live Game Show: Wheel, Bonus Games & Multipliers
Funky Time is a live game show from Evolution built around a 64-segment vertical DigiWheel, random segment multipliers and four bonus games: Bar, Stayin’ Alive, Disco and VIP Disco. Note that this page covers the Evolution live casino game show (released in 2023, as listed by casinos.com), not any song of a similar name.
FUNKY TIME LIVE SHOWCASE
Funky Time is streamed live from Evolution’s studio with a live presenter and the vertical DigiWheel. Because it is a live game show rather than an RNG game, no standalone free-play demo is listed by Evolution; table access and spectator availability depend on the casino and your country.

According to Evolution, Funky Time is a live game show built around the DigiWheel, a large vertical spinning wheel with an electronic centre. Each round, the DigiWheel generates random multipliers and assigns them to random segments on the wheel. If a multiplier lands on a winning segment, the winning bet on that segment is multiplied, and wheel multipliers also apply to the bonus games.
The 64 Segments and Base Payouts
According to Evolution’s launch announcement, the wheel is divided into 64 segments made up of the number 1, letters that spell the words PLAY, FUNK, and TIME, and bonus game segments. According to Evolution, letter segments have a default payout of 25:1. As listed by casinos.com, the number 1 pays 1:1, and the 64 segments break down as follows:
- Number 1: 28 segments, paying 1:1 (as listed by casinos.com)
- Letters (P, L, A, Y, F, U, N, K, T, I, M, E): 24 segments in total (as listed by casinos.com), paying 25:1 by default (according to Evolution)
- Bonus Segments (12 total, as listed by casinos.com): 6 Bar segments, 3 Disco segments, 2 Stayin’ Alive segments, and 1 VIP Disco segment
Betting Spots, Shortcuts and RTP
According to Evolution, players can place single bets on the number 1, on each individual letter, and on each of the four bonus games. To speed up betting, Evolution includes two shortcut buttons: “Bet on 12 letters” (which places a bet on all twelve letters at once) and “Bet on 4 bonuses” (which places a bet on all four bonus games at once). As listed by casinos.com, players have a 20-second betting window each round, the game is not available in a first-person RNG view, and the theoretical RTP is 95.99% (with bonus rounds listed at 95.38% to 95.99%), which can vary by bet. See our RTP and volatility guide for how return percentages work.
The Four Funky Time Bonus Games Explained
According to Evolution, Funky Time includes four bonus games — Bar, Stayin’ Alive, Disco, and VIP Disco — and multipliers are guaranteed in all four of them. If the DigiWheel placed a random multiplier on the triggering bonus segment before the wheel stopped, that wheel multiplier applies to the bonus round as well.
Bar Bonus Game
According to Evolution, in the Bar bonus round you choose one of three glasses at the bar. Each glass receives a random multiplier, and a reel then spins to reveal an extra multiplier that is applied to one of the three glasses.
Stayin’ Alive Bonus Game
According to Evolution, Stayin’ Alive uses a 90-ball drawing machine and a 20-level multiplier ladder ranging from 5x up to a top rung of 10,000x:
- Team Colour Selection: You choose one of three team colours: green, pink, or orange.
- Four Lives & STOP Balls: Every player starts the round with four lives. Drawing a STOP ball costs one life, and the bonus round ends when all four lives run out.
- 1-Step and 2-Step Balls: Drawing a 1-step or 2-step ball matching your chosen colour advances you one or two rungs up the 20-level multiplier ladder.
Disco and VIP Disco Bonus Games
According to Evolution, both Disco and VIP Disco take place on a virtual grid floor where a character called Mr Funky moves from square to square:
- Floor Size: In Disco, Mr Funky moves across a 37-square floor; in VIP Disco, he moves across a larger 63-square floor.
- Eight-Segment Direction Wheel: A mini wheel with eight segments spins each turn to set the direction in which Mr Funky moves across the floor.
- Regular and Floor Multipliers: As Mr Funky moves, regular multipliers on the squares add up, while floor multipliers double five random regular squares on the grid.
- How the Round Ends: The bonus round continues until Mr Funky moves off the edge and falls off the floor.
Is There a Free Funky Time Demo?
Players often ask whether they can try Funky Time in a free demo mode before staking real money.
Live Studio Stream vs Standalone Free Play Modes
Because Funky Time is a live studio game show hosted in real time with a live presenter and the DigiWheel (and is not available in first-person view, as listed by casinos.com), Evolution does not list a free-play demo on its public game page.
Accessing Spectator Mode in Casino Lobbies
Whether you can open the live broadcast to watch rounds without placing a bet depends on the online casino and your country. Where spectator access is available after logging in, you can observe how the 20-second betting window, random DigiWheel multipliers, and the four bonus games work before wagering real funds. Always set a strict budget before playing; see our bankroll management guide and responsible gambling page (18+).
