The History of Funky Time
How Evolution Gaming brought the disco era to life with the grooviest game show in live casino.
The Disco Revolution
Funky Time was launched by Evolution Gaming in June 2023, bringing a 1970s disco theme to the live casino game show format. It represents the next evolution of the money wheel concept, building on the success of Crazy Time while carving out its own identity.
The game features a vibrant disco studio complete with a live DJ, dancing characters, and four unique bonus games all themed around the funk and disco era.
Design Philosophy
Funky Time was designed to appeal to players who love the game show format but want a different aesthetic experience from Crazy Time. The 70s theme provides:
- Unique visual identity with disco balls, neon lights, and retro styling
- Mr. Funky character as the game's mascot
- Four original bonus games with disco-themed mechanics
- Live DJ and dancing creating immersive entertainment
- Letter segments (F-U-N-K-Y) instead of traditional numbers
