Crazy Pachinko

Crazy Pachinko game layout

Crazy Pachinko begins with the appearance of a 5×3 slot machine, on which the well-known classic symbols can be found. These are the A, K, Q and J as basic symbols and the Cherries, Liberty Bell and wild as premium options. This allows up to 10 paylines to be formed.

The goal is to have 3 scatters on the reels at the same time, which qualifies you for both bonus features. The scatter is by far the most important symbol.

The scatter is linked to a nudge feature. That means a rotated scatter drops one position down the next round. This increases the chances of winning.

Scatters can also carry a multiplier of up to x10. If you spin a multiplier scatter, you will benefit from this during the bonus game.

To maximize your chances of winning there is the XXXtreme Spin mode. This guarantees the spinning of at least 1 new scatter in each round of the base game.

The stage described above is called the qualification stage. This can also be skipped in its entirety, with the feature Buy. However, getting directly into the bonus game will cost you 75x your bet.

If you finally activate the live Pachinko Bonus Round, the road to it will soon be forgotten. Here you will find a nice dose of tension.

Bonus game

After the qualification phase, you will automatically end up in the next phase. These are successively the:

• Top – up stage
• Live Pachinko Bonus Round
• Top – up stage

After the qualification phase, you will first enter the Top-up phase. Here you get a new playing field with 4×4 Symbols in the picture. Each box is a separate role.

A timer runs above it, which indicates how long it will take for the live Pachinko bonus round to start. It’s up to you whether you want to play the Top-up phase, or whether you prefer to wait for the live part to start.

With the Top-up phase you get the chance to increase your bet and collect higher multipliers. These range from x2 to x10, 000 per segment. The received multipliers are collected at the bottom of the reels.

Live Pachinko Bonus Round

The live Pachinko Bonus Round is all there is to do in Crazy Pachinko. Here 2 game show hosts are waiting for you. Here you can sit back, because all your tasks are now over.

Central is the large Pachinko wall, equipped with a random puck zone. In the landing zone (at the very bottom), the 16 randomly chosen multipliers are shown, ranging from 10x to 200x.

Now the scatter multipliers from the base game are multiplied by the Pachinko multipliers. This total is added to the top-up multipliers won. This means that the final total can increase considerably.

One of the game show hosts walks up to release the puck, somewhere between zones 4-12. It remains to be seen which route the puck will follow, and where it will eventually end up. You will receive this answer within about 15 seconds.

If the puck lands on the Double zone, all multipliers are doubled and a re-drop follows. Such a re-drop can only occur once per bonus trigger.

The scatters, which can be seen frequently, fortunately ensure that you can stay with your attention.

Crazy Pachinko RTP, bet and variance

You can play Crazy Pachinko from $0.10. You can enter up to $3,750 per game round. At least, this applies to playing in standard mode. If you use the XXXtreme Spin mode, you pay 15x your base bet.

The RTP is between 95.01% and 96.05%, depending on which part of Crazy Pachinko you play.

• Standard mode base game-96.04%
• XXXtreme Spin mode-96.05%
• Feature Buy-96.04%
• Top-Up-95.01%

The variance of Crazy Pachinko has not been disclosed by Evolution Gaming, but appears to be medium to high.

Final verdict

Evolution Gaming always manages to come up with a great new live casino game. This also applies to Crazy Pachinko, which just once again meets our high expectations.

A disadvantage is that it may take a while before you have qualified yourself. Until then, you are stuck in a mediocre slot in which hardly anything actually happens. Making paylines is not interesting enough here.

In addition, the prize money of 12,000x to be won is a nice boost. The chance that you win this multiplier is of course super small, but still there are nice amounts to pay here with a little luck.
