Todd Haushalter, the Chief Product Officer of Evolution Gaming, has revealed that Evolution is going to release its most expensive casino game ever. Crazy Time was the most expensive game in terms of money and resources to produce in the company’s history so far.

“I think it’s the most fun casino game ever made. It’s definitely the most expensive casino game ever made – it took the most resources to make it,” Todd Haushalter said.

“It’s just this carnival of activity. It’s like Monopoly, in the sense that it’s a wheel game, but the wheel is just loaded with bonuses that take you off in different directions. There are bonus games in the game and it’s just so cool and so fun – it’s in the true spirit of one of these great game shows; there are just shows within the show. I can’t wait to get it live,” Todd Haushalter added.
