Evolution Launches Crazy Time, Its Most Entertaining and Bonus-packed Game Ever!
Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has today launched its latest exclusive game, Crazy Time. This multi-layered, bonus- and multiplier-packed game was first showcased as Evolution’s headliner at ICE 2020 and is the newest addition to the company’s fast-growing game shows category.
Crazy Time is an exciting, all-new development based on Evolution’s successful Dream Catcher money wheel concept but offering four action-packed bonus games — more than Evolution has ever included in a single game. The centrepiece of the game is a spinning money wheel featuring four bonus bet spots — Cash Hunt, Coin Flip, Pachinko and Crazy Time — that take players off into the bonus rounds.
Crazy Time has taken a year to develop and it is the most expensive game that Evolution has ever produced. The pre-launch test period of the game showed high interest from players, which we hope will continue as we now bring it to a wider audience.
According to Evolution, the unique Crazy Time gameplay keeps players entertained with a crazily varied mix of action, entertainment, betting opportunities and a succession of potential multiplier wins. These elements make the game so entertaining that it captures the audience in the same way a TV game show would with the added excitement of being able to participate in the action. What also sets the game apart is the integration of multiple cutting-edge technologies in one game, including Random Number Generator (RNG) multipliers, augmented reality, slots-style and video-gaming elements, all of which, Evolution feels, will make the game appeal to a wide and varied audience.
Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, said: “The goal was to make a game that is so entertaining that people would enjoy just watching it as they would a game show on television. To achieve this, we knew we needed lots of variety and to make the players the contestants on the show. The variety comes in the form of copious bonus rounds that bring the players into different side games, all of which are distinctively different and entertaining in their own right. We know this game will appeal to slot players and we wanted to really entertain them, and to do that we packed each game round with lots of action, also making it longer than a typical slot-round. We feel players get great entertainment value with each bet in this game.”
Haushalter added: “I am so proud of the hundreds of people who worked on Crazy Time. This is some of the best work Evolution has ever done and I honestly believe it is the most fun casino game ever made. It highlights a paradigm shift for Evolution: this game will appeal to audiences far and wide, from slot players to sports bettors and everyone in between. There is truly nothing like it.”

ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO LAUNCHES ULTIMATE SIMULATOR USING MOTION TECHNOLOGY TO RECREATE F1 RACING
- The motion simulators, available as a limited run, are built by Memento Exclusives – Aston Martin Aramco’s sim and show car partner
- The newly developed simulator launch commemorates with Fernando Alonso’s recent 400th F1 race at the recent 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix
- Collectors and gamers can visit f1authentics.com to learn more
Aston Martin Aramco F1® Team is bringing its fans closer than ever to the experience of becoming an F1® driver, with the launch of brand-new motion simulators.
Motion simulators are created by an expert team at Memento Exclusives – the memorabilia specialist based in Motorsport Valley – utilising the same processes as F1® teams, to offer an unrivalled racing experience. Designed to recreate the famous race cars seen on the tracks, these Aston Martin Aramco’s Motion Simulators boast high tech systems which aim to immerse the racer, offering them the chance to experience every twist and turn around iconic racing circuits.
Aston Martin Aramco F1® Team and Memento Exclusives have made simulators available to the public in iconic racing green before, but adding movement to the simulation experience is set to take sim racing to new heights. Each motion simulator has been developed in partnership with the race team at Silverstone, and features haptic actuators, a front pivot configuration and haptic rumble feedback. This advancement offers gamers and racers true authenticity, with the motion of a real F1® car accurately emulated from the moment they jump into the cockpit.
Motion simulators are just one of the ways Aston Martin Aramco F1® Team is innovating with technology in recent times. Lance Stroll has been noted for his sim work over the years and revealed ahead of the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix that he partially rehabilitated a broken wrist by practicing in a simulator. He famously went on to finish sixth in that race. Spanish legend Fernando Alonso, who recently celebrated his 400th Grand Prix at the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix, has also lent his voice to emerging technology with Ai.lonso – offering visitors to the Aston Martin Aramco website the ability to hear selected articles read in his voice in multiple languages.
Barry Gough, CEO & Founder of Memento Exclusives (F1 Authentics) commented: “We are delighted to announce the next phase in our partnership with Aston Martin Aramco; these motion simulators take sim racing to the next level, providing gamers and racers with the closest experience to racing an actual F1 car. This launch, commemorating Fernando Alonso’s 400th Grand Prix and recognising Lance Stroll’s history with simulators, is a testament to this partnership and the technological advancements here at Memento Exclusives, offering new ways for fans to own the moment.”
Matt Chapman, Head of Licensing and Merchandise, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team: “This is a really exciting collaboration with our partner Memento Exclusives, bringing the world of Formula One to life for sim racers, collectors and our fans alike. The look and feel of the motion simulator makes it an immersive experience and the addition of movement builds upon the previous simulators we have collaborated on together.”
Aston Martin Motion Simulators are only available in limited numbers and via f1authentics.com or Memento Exclusives’ private sale service.

Gaming Corps to launch with lotteries in the USA via EQL games deal
In-demand content provider extends reach into largest iGaming market in the world with its full suite of games made available via iLottery aggregation platform
Gaming Corps, a publicly-listed game studio based in Sweden renowned for creating industry-leading games, has made its debut in the US market through a breakthrough agreement with leading lottery provider, EQL Games.
The distribution agreement will see Gaming Corps’ full suite of games made available to EQL Games’ powerful iLottery Aggregation Platform, developed to provide lottery operators across America with direct access to a portfolio of proprietary and third-party games.
Following the integration, EQL Games’ lottery operator partners will be offered proven Slots, Table Games, Multiplier Games, Mine Games and Plinko Games, as well as titles under Gaming Corps’ innovative and trademarked Smash4Cash™ series.
The deal and integration come at a time of growing demand among online lottery operators in the US for non-traditional content, a format that Gaming Corps has excelled in, especially with its Smash4Cash™ games, which have been a hit with players in global markets.
EQL’s aggregation platform has been developed to allow online lottery operators to quickly and easily access content from multiple game studios simultaneously through one integration and one commercial agreement.
Its iLottery Aggregation platform simplifies the process of adding new games to an online lottery brand across regulated states. In addition to the third-party content provided via its aggregator platform, EQL Games has a portfolio of in-house titles.
This includes games produced under licence with Team USA which were rolled out by several state lotteries for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris this year, with new titles being planned ahead of the Winter Games in Milan (2026) and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles (2028).
Juha Kauppinen, CEO of Gaming Corps, said: “The USA has always been somewhat of the holy grail for game developers like us, which has been further emphasised as markets in several states have become regulated. The potential in the American market is enormous, and the impact for us is a bit difficult to assess, but we have great hopes for the collaboration with EQL Games, which has an impressive platform towards U.S. lotteries.
“We believe it will have a significantly positive impact on our revenues. I would like to personally take the opportunity to thank EQL Games and Brad Cummings for the collaboration, and we are now working hard to complete the integration so that all our games will be offered to EQL’s customers via their platform.”
Brad Cummings, CEO of EQL Games, added: “Including Gaming Corps as a supplier to the EQL Games iLottery Aggregator is an exciting step forward in our mission to offer unique, high-quality content to state lotteries. Gaming Corps’ expertise in iGaming, along with their unique game portfolio, fits perfectly with our vision of enhancing the lottery experience through dynamic and engaging content.”
