Evolution today announced the launch of its unique new Funky Time live game show, a ’70s disco-themed, bonus and multiplier-laden extravaganza, and the company’s biggest new game show since Crazy Time.

This innovative online game with live presenter celebrates the iconic disco era with a retro club ambience, funky beats, daring dancefloor moves and the chance for players to accumulate multipliers in all phases of the game.

At the heart of the main game a spinning DigiWheel money wheel generates numerous random multipliers per round, which can further multiply winnings on either numbers, letters or bonus games. The 64 segments on the wheel, which spell out the words PLAY, FUNK and TIME, and which also feature a series of number 1s and various bonus game segments, offer different ways to win and progress in the game.

Win on any of the number 1 or letter segments of the wheel and players can cash out instant wins. Win on a bonus segment and they proceed to one of four unique bonus games – Bar, Stayin’ Alive, Disco, and VIP Disco — in which multipliers are guaranteed. While all bonus games offer great entertainment, Disco and VIP Disco really put the FUN in FUNKY, as both see the cool Mr Funky character step out onto the virtual dance floor to collect even more multipliers while avoiding toppling off the edge of the floor.

Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, said: “At Evolution, we invented the live Game Show gaming category with Dream Catcher, and since then we’ve never looked back. We have created most of the top 10 new games of the last five years, many of which are our live game shows, and we’re confident that Funky Time will achieve similar success. When I first saw the DigiWheel, a big vertical revolving wheel with an electronic LED centre, I knew there was a great game show to be built around it. Then the team and I started brainstorming what that game could be, and we knew we were onto something very special with Funky Time.”

Haushalter continued: “Around 100 people were involved in getting Funky Time live, and I’m incredibly proud of their achievements. It’s the most expensive and complex game we’ve ever created, but most importantly, it’s a game that just oozes fun. I’m often asked, ‘what’s the inspiration for new game ideas?’ The answer comes from literally asking ourselves the question, ‘what is the most fun game we can make?’ While different players look for different things, Funky Time is sure to have broad appeal. We believe it’s every bit as entertaining as Crazy Time, but it’s got a completely different feel and it adds a few extra goodies too. I hope players enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.”

An unforgettable evening, more than 250 industry leaders, and the perfect beginning to a new story in iGaming. DELULU Gaming recently hosted its exclusive Soft Launch Dinner at Alba London, welcoming 250+ partners and C-level executives to an invitation-only celebration that combined exceptional hospitality with the studio’s distinctive creative identity.

The Soft Launch Dinner was DELULU’s first opportunity to welcome the industry in person. Instead of a traditional corporate reception, the evening brought together senior decision-makers in an exclusive setting. Guests learned more about DELULU’s vision and a debut portfolio where every game is designed to leave its own impression.

The event was made even more special by the presence of DELULU’s strategic technology partner, SOFTSWISS, who joined the celebration alongside partners, friends, and industry leaders.

Inspired by the Amalfi Coast, Alba London provided the perfect setting for DELULU’s Soft Launch Dinner. Contemporary Italian interiors, live cooking stations, fresh seafood, authentic Italian pizza, and signature cocktails created an atmosphere that felt both refined and effortlessly welcoming. Every detail, from the bespoke DELULU branding to the finishing touches throughout the venue, made the experience unmistakably DELULU.

Looking around, it was clear that many of the industry’s key players were there. Operators, aggregators, platform providers, media, and long-standing partners all came together to celebrate DELULU’s next chapter. Business conversations quickly became more relaxed as guests caught up with familiar faces and made new connections. The evening also opened the door to conversations about future partnerships, upcoming releases, and DELULU’s ambition to create experiences that stay with players.

To mark the occasion, every guest received a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne presented in exclusive DELULU packaging, created especially for the event. It was a small gesture of appreciation and a lasting reminder of the studio’s first milestone shared with everyone present.

The Soft Launch Dinner was a memorable introduction of DELULU to the industry. It showed DELULU Gaming’s goal to build lasting partnerships while bringing the DELULU approach beyond the games themselves.

“We wanted our first event to feel exactly like DELULU. Creative, welcoming, and full of personality. Having so many industry leaders and partners come together before our official launch was something truly special for our entire team. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Alba London, celebrated this milestone with us, and helped make it such an unforgettable evening. We’re looking forward to growing together, building new partnerships, and sharing many more great moments in the years ahead.” Arthur Sheikhaliev, CEO at DELULU Gaming.

Following the successful Soft Launch Dinner, DELULU Gaming continues expanding its commercial partnerships and bringing its growing portfolio of distinctive games to operators worldwide.

Cryptocurrency has become one of the fastest-growing categories within prediction markets, as traders and investors increasingly look beyond price charts to speculate on major industry milestones.

Reflecting this trend, international betting brand 1win has expanded its Markets product with a series of new cryptocurrency prediction markets covering some of the sector’s most closely watched digital assets.

The new crypto-themed forecasts on 1win Markets allow users to speculate on topics, including

“Crypto-related forecasts are becoming a natural extension of prediction markets, giving users another way to engage with some of the biggest narratives in the crypto industry. Though on 1win Markets, we have made it an interactive and easy-to-understand format,” says Mike Danshin, CMO 1win Crypto.

1win Markets uses a simple binary format. Instead of selecting from complex betting lines, users answer straightforward “Yes” or “No” questions or choose between clearly defined outcomes. It is a fun and interactive way to think about life events, even for those unfamiliar with classic betting.

This crypto-focused expansion on 1win Markets reflects the growing convergence between crypto communities and binary predictions. Users are increasingly interested in predicting not only sports or political outcomes but also changes across the digital asset industry.

By adding cryptocurrency-focused markets alongside existing categories – sports, politics, technology, entertainment, and global events – 1win continues to broaden the scope of its crypto-driven ecosystem.
