Crazy Coin Flip Guide – Tips & Tricks!

When it comes to live casino games and particularly live gameshows, Evolution is the undisputed king. The iGaming giant is renowned for its innovation and the high quality that it perpetually releases. You only have to look at award-winning titles such as the 2019 Game of the Year at the EGR Operator Awards, Monopoly Live and Lightning Roulette which won the same award the year before, as evidence that this provider has operated at the top of its game since establishing itself in 2006.

Another example of this live supplier’s innovation is Crazy Coin Flip, a unique title that is based on one of the popular bonus rounds found in another award-winning gameshow called Crazy Time. This entertaining game features a live presenter and is streamed to your device using cutting-edge webcam technology.

Launched in June 2022, Crazy Coin Flip offers gameplay over three stages. That includes a live video slot, a top-up round, and a big reveal via a live coin flip. The name of the game here is multipliers, and once you have enjoyed a round or two, you will see just how high they can get.

In this review, I will tell you everything you need to know about the Crazy Coin Flip live casino game show from Evolution. That includes how to play and some of the strategies you can use.

Crazy Coin Flip Live Video Slot with Tops Ups and a Coin-Flipping Finale!

Crazy Coin Flip is one of the more innovative live casino games from Evolution. In fact, you will not find anything in the supplier’s range that is anything like it. If I had to pick one that offers the most similarities, it is Deal or No Deal and that is only because you have to qualify to play the main game as you do on this title. As you spin the reels of the live video slot, you can land winning combinations in much the same way as on standard online fruit machines. However, the main aim is to get access to the coin flip, which is where the truly big wins can come. In fact, if you get lucky enough, you could scoop up to €/$500,000!

As ever, the first thing you will notice is how well-produced Crazy Coin Flip live game is. Of course, you do not get to see a lot of this until you make it through to the main coin flip round. Initially, the live presenter and the studio are blurred out and all you can see is the 5-reel live video slot that you have to use to qualify. Once you do make it to that bonus round, however, you see the colourfully dressed, live host, a bright studio and the mechanical coin-flipping machine.

As mentioned, playing the Crazy Coin Flip live gameshow is done via three phases and while I will go into each of these in more detail later, for now, I will give you a brief description of what they are.

• Phase 1: You must spin a 5-reel live video slot and land 3 scatter symbols anywhere in view to qualify for the coin flip. Along the way, you may land combination wins that can pay up to 20x your stake. You can also spend more on specific spin modes that increase your chances of triggering the bonus round (more on those later).
• Phase 2: (Optional) Once qualified, you have up to 50 seconds to spin a 3-reel live video slot to increase the multipliers of the blue and red sides of the coin.
• Phase 3: Watch as further multipliers are applied to the different sides of the coin. Then, you get to witness the result of the coin flip. You win the multiplier attached to the winning side of the coin.

It is important to keep track of how much you are spending when playing this live casino game. It can numerous spins to quality and then you have the option to attempt to increase the multipliers by spending even more. My advice is to stick to a low stake at first until you understand how Crazy Coin Flip live works. It is easy to burn through your bankroll without even realising it. The more you spend qualifying for the coin flip and topping up the multipliers, the larger the multiplier you need to win to turn a profit. That increases further if you use one of the more expensive spin modes to qualify.

Based on a Bonus Round in Crazy Time: The Crazy Coin Flip live casino game is essentially one of the four bonus rounds on Evolution’s Crazy Time live gameshow. However, when playing that title, you do not have to qualify for the bonus round using a slot machine. Instead, you partake in that bonus if you bet on Coin Flip during the main game and the giant wheel stops on that segment.

Regular Payouts on the Crazy Coin Flip Live Video Slot

Before we get into the different phases of Crazy Coin Flip, let’s take a look at the live slot aspect. and how you can use it to pull in some combination wins worth up to 20x your stake. Essentially, you spin away on 5-reels and 3-rows hoping to land the three scatter symbols required to qualify for the coin flip. However, while attempting that, you can also land symbol combinations in the same way you can on any slot machine.

The Crazy Coin Flip live video slot has 10-fixed paylines and 7 regular symbols. These are the traditional types that you will recognise from classic fruit machines. That means the likes of playing cards, bells, and cherries. Whenever you land 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols on one of the paylines, you win a multiplier of your current stake. For example, if you bet €1 per spin and land a combination that wins you 10x your stake, you win €10. The Bell brings the best rewards as it will award 20x if you land it 5 times on a win line. It also pays 10x and 5x for 4 and 3 combinations, respectively.

Of course, while winning payouts from the live video slot is nice, the ultimate aim is to qualify for the main Coin Flip round. You do that when you land three scatters anywhere in view. That symbol is the game’s logo, so it is hard to miss. It can land in any position on the reels so you do not have to worry about hitting three or more on one of the paylines. They can also carry multipliers of up to 10x. That value carries over into the coin flip game (although you can increase them further using the top-up phase).

How to Play the Crazy Coin Flip Live Casino Game Show

Now that I have provided you with a brief summary of what Crazy Coin Flip live entails, it is time to get into it all in more detail. For a start, there is more to the qualifying round than meets the eye. That is because you can use three different spin modes (each offers a different chance of triggering the coin flip mode). Essentially, you can guarantee you land at least one or two scatter symbols on a spin.

First Phase: Qualification

As you already know, the idea is to qualify for the coin flip and the top-up round just before it. You do this by spinning the reels of a classic 5-reel, 3-row, and 10-payline live video slot and landing 3 scatter symbols on the reels. However, it is important to understand the three different spin modes you can use. These can allow you to qualify quicker than normal.

• Normal Spin: This is the standard mode that costs the stake you have chosen. There is no guarantee of any scatter landing.
• XXXtreme Spin: This costs 5x your chosen spin bet. It guarantees at least one scatter symbol will land on each spin.
• Super XXXtreme Spin: This costs 50x your stake but means a minimum of two scatter symbols each time.

As you can see, for a cost, you can increase your chances of triggering the coin flip. However, it also means you have to win more to cover what you have spent to get there. That is even more important if it has taken you a few spins to qualify and/or you have spun to top-up multipliers in the second phase. It is important to understand how much you have bet and how much you need to win. When you do trigger the next phase by landing scatters, they may have a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x attached. These carry over into the next stages and can really help to ensure you enjoy a good payout. Also, if you use one of the XXXtreme modes, there is a better chance of those multipliers coming your way.

The different spin modes also carry slightly different RTPs. There is not a lot in it, but standard and Super XXXtreme spins have a 96.05% RTP, while that lowers to 96% when using XXXtreme. As mentioned, as this is a live video slot, you will also win payouts when landing symbol combinations on the paylines. You can see more about the payouts and symbols in the previous section of this Crazy Coin Flip live casino game guide.

The spin mode you choose will come down to the sort of strategy you want to use. If you are happy to spend 50x your stake for a better chance of qualification, you must understand the risk. You might win less than you staked. Alternatively, if you have patience, you can go for a low-risk game using normal spins.

Second Phase: Top-Up

Once you have qualified, you are taken to a new screen that features a different live video slot. Here, you get a certain amount of time to improve the multiplier of each side of the coin. This is an optional round, so you do not have to spend more money if you prefer not to. How long you get to increase the multipliers attached to the coin depends. Sometimes you will connect at the start of the round and get a full 50 seconds. On other occasions, you will receive a lot less time. In fact, I have qualified occasionally with just a few seconds left to go.

By default, each spin costs the same as your original stake. However, you do have the option of increasing it if you wish. The idea is to line up three symbols of the same colour on the reels. Each has a multiplier of between 1x and 100x. If you line up three blue or red symbols on the payline, those multipliers apply to that coloured side of the coin. They also stack on top of the scatter multiplier you may or may not have received when qualifying for this phase. You can keep track of the current multiplier value for both colours directly above the reels.

Again, it is important to keep track of how much you are spending when trying to top up. It can get expensive if you are spinning but not landing any multipliers. This is why one of my biggest tips for the Crazy Coin Flip live casino game is to practise good bankroll management. If not, you can quickly burn through the cash in your online casino account.

Remember that you are not obliged to top up. This is an optional phase of the game. You can just let the timer run down and enter the final phase without spinning the reels. As for the RTP of this stage of Crazy Coin Flip, it is 95.06%. That is around the average found on most online video slots.

Third Phase: The Crazy Coin Flip

With the top-up stage now out of the way, there is just the coin flip to go before you learn how much you have won. The multipliers you collected from each of the previous phases are carried over. A screen with an RNG then randomly determines the multiplier value of the blue and red sides of the coin. Those can be anything between 5x and 100x. If you received a multiplier from the scatters used to qualify for the coin flip, that value is now added to each of those that were randomly assigned to each side of the coin. As you can imagine, this can lead to some big numbers. For example, 3 x 100 = a total multiplier of 300x. On top of that, those you collected during the top-up phase also get added.

You now know the multiplier of each of the sides of the coin and will soon find out which of them you have won. Obviously, you will always root for the larger number at this point. The machine flips the coin into the air and when it lands, you will see which side of the coin is the winner. The multiplier assigned to that side of the coin is then applied to your spin bet.

• A screen shows the random multiplier assigned to blue and red
• All previous multipliers from the first and second phases are applied to those values
• The coin is flipped to reveal which multiplier you win

Crazy Coin Flip Tricks, Tips, and Strategies

Your ultimate aim when playing the Crazy Coin Flip live casino game is to win more money than you originally spent to qualify and top up the multipliers. This is not always as easy as it sounds, as there are many determining factors. Did you land any scatters that had multipliers attached? How lucky were you if you tried to top up the multipliers? Did the RNG treat you kindly just before the coin flip? To win large payouts on the Crazy Coin Flip live casino game, you need to get lucky in each of those departments. At the end of the day, if you spent more than what you won from the multiplier, you have lost.

Before I get into a couple of strategies you could consider using, here are some of the observations I gleaned when playing:

• The coin flip values at the end of the game range between 5x and 100x. That means earning the big wins will require you to collect additional multipliers from the first two phases.
• It is best to set an overall cap on how much you want to spend on each round. That includes how much it costs to qualify and any top-up bets.
• Use how much you have bet to qualify for a round to establish how much more you want to bet in later phases.
• For example, if you spent a lot qualifying, you might consider reducing the bets placed during the top-up round.
• Alternatively, if you qualified quickly, you can consider spending more during that phase.
• If you landed scatter multipliers in the first stage, you do not need to spend much when topping up.

Essentially, if you stick to a plan, you stand a better chance of managing your bankroll. Going overboard when betting during the qualifying and top-up stages may lead you to need a very high multiplier. As an example, if you spun at 0.20 a time and spent a total of 10.00 qualifying, you will need a multiplier of at least 50x to break even.

As for strategies, it is probably best to develop one that suits how you prefer to play. Essentially, it will come down to whether you want to play high risk/reward or take things slowly in the hope of gradually increasing your bankroll. Here are two that I tested out with mixed results:

• Low Bet/Low Risk Strategy: This revolves around playing smaller bets to qualify for the Coin Flip and then, depending on if you landed scatter multipliers, betting higher during the top-up phase. If you know you have a good multiplier already, increasing them further makes sense. However, if you qualify with nothing, there is little point in trying to improve already low values. This strategy helps to minimise losses as you’re only spending to improve an already good start.
• High Bet/High Risk Strategy: Another option is to go big or go home. When using the Super XXXtreme spins, you can qualify for the coin flip quicker and with bigger and more frequent multipliers. Of course, this all comes at a cost of 50x your stake. Remember, only your original stake counts towards your win and not the 50x you’re paying for these additional benefits. This strategy may lead to some big wins, but if not playing sensibly, it could also clear your bankroll extremely quickly.

Conclusion – An Enjoyable but Risky Live Casino Game

Crazy Coin Flip is yet another enjoyable live casino game from Evolution. At first, it might seem confusing as there are several different phases. However, once you have played a few rounds, you will understand how it works. Essentially, it is a live video slot that gives you the chance to enter a bonus game that can pay up to €/$500,000. You can find multipliers on the scatter symbols, attempt to top up those multipliers using another slot, and then hopefully land a final big multiplier before the coin flip takes place. All in all, this is an entertaining title, although I know it will not appeal to everyone. The qualifying stage is a bit boring unless you enjoy playing video slots. It is also a game that you should play carefully. It is easy to lose track of how much you have wagered during one game and that can mean needing huge multipliers to even break even. Play sensibly and with your own strategy and the Crazy Coin Flip live casino game can provide hours of entertainment. On the other hand, going gung ho can lead to the opposite.
