Evolution launches Funky Time, a disco-themed live game show and its biggest new development since Crazy Time
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.”

ICONIC21 Lights Up the Night with Las Piggas
Essential content provider launches new title aimed at enhancing engagement, increasing session durations, and generating higher operator revenue with an entertaining theme and captivating gameplay.
The Piggies are hitting The Strip in the newest blockbuster slot game from sought-after iGaming content creator, ICONIC21.
Las Piggas revolves around neon lights, velvet ropes, and three unique pig characters – Elvis Pig, Marilyn Pig, and Cowboy Pig, all of whom aspire to strike it rich in the City of Sin.
Integrating an advanced 6×4 game grid, a 4,096 ways engine, and a vibrant Vegas style, Las Piggas aims to attract both casual gamers and dedicated high stakes players.
In Las Piggas, gamers are taken to the center of the Strip where the piggie heroes are enjoying life to the fullest.
The main gameplay centers on the dual-end Collect system – in contrast to typical collection slots, Las Piggas includes Collect symbols on reels one and six, increasing the chances for players to gather Coin symbols that have Multiplier values reaching 5,000x the wager.
Central to the player experience are the three pig characters – Elvis Pig, Marilyn Pig, and Cowboy Pig, which rest above the reels.
When Pig Coins fall, they are collected by their respective character, activating a perceived ongoing growth mechanism.
When the Bonus Game starts, players receive eight Free Spins with special modifiers depending on the pig that activated the round.
Elvis Pig – Reels two and five become synchronised. With each spin, two, three, or four adjacent reels may also synchronise, allowing massive 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 Coin symbols to land.
Marilyn Pig – A win Multiplier is awarded with all wins and Coins boosted by 3x.
Cowboy Pig – An additional eight Spins are awarded to the Bonus Game.
To enhance Max Win potential, various features can function together at once, resulting in a Super Bonus where all character skills are engaged simultaneously.
In the Bonus Game, the values of all Coin symbols are accumulated in the Bonus Pot. After the round concludes, a Bonus Spin occurs where a 4×4 Mega Coin symbol displaying the entire Bonus Pot value appears on reels two through five.
To obtain the Bonus Pot, at least one Collect symbol needs to appear on either reel one or reel six. Once collected, the Mega Coin value contributes to the overall win – if the Mega Coin appears on reels one and two, the Bonus Pot value is increased twofold. Oink!
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Las Piggas is all about player enjoyment and pure entertainment. We wanted to create a game that feels exciting from the very first spin — combining a popular 4,096-ways format with three distinctive bonus experiences, all wrapped in the iconic neon energy of Las Vegas.
The pig characters aren’t just visuals; they each bring their own personality and bonus style, giving players different ways to experience the game every time they trigger a round. Whether it’s the synchronised reels, boosted multipliers, or extended spins, Las Piggas delivers variety, anticipation and big-win potential in a theme that feels instantly recognizable and fun.
At the heart of it, this game was designed to make players smile, stay engaged, and feel the thrill of Vegas with every spin.”
