Who Makes the Game Shows at Caxino
Game shows are the loudest corner of the live casino: a presenter, a studio set, a wheel or a ball machine, and random multipliers that can turn a small stake into a big one. At Caxino they come from two studios the brand names itself - Evolution and Pragmatic Play.
Evolution
The studio that invented the category with Dream Catcher and then built Crazy Time, MONOPOLY Live, Funky Time and Lightning Storm. Its shows have the biggest sets and the most layered bonus rounds.
Pragmatic Play
The pokies studio behind Sweet Bonanza took its own characters into the live studio. Mega Wheel, Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, Snakes & Ladders Live and Treasure Island are simpler to read and quick to learn.
Both studios broadcast around the clock from their own studios, so there is no "opening time" for a wheel. The rules, payouts and RTP of each show are set by the studio, not by the casino - you get the same game at Caxino as anywhere else that carries it. Rule sheets are published on the studio sites: Evolution and Pragmatic Play.
Popular Game Show Titles
Below are twelve of the best-known shows from the two studios Caxino works with. Filter them by studio or by RTP; the percentage on each card is the theoretical return of the best bet on that board.

Treasure IslandPragmatic PlayRTP 96.56%
We list these as shows from Caxino's studios, not as a promise that all twelve are on air in the lobby this minute. Live line-ups rotate, and a studio can pull a table for maintenance. If a title you want is missing, the search box in the lobby settles it in seconds.
Which one to start with
New to the format? Dream Catcher and Mega Wheel are plain money wheels: pick a number, watch the spin, get paid the number. Crazy Time and Funky Time add four bonus games each and are the shows people stay on for an evening. MONOPOLY Big Baller and Mega Ball are bingo-style draws for players who like cards more than wheels, and Lightning Dice is the fastest of the lot - three dice, one total.
How a Game Show Round Works
Every show follows the same loop, whatever the theme. Once you have seen one round, you can read any of them.
- 1Betting opens: a countdown runs for a few seconds. You tap chips onto the segments you want - numbers, bonus games or both.
- 2Multiplier is drawn: in most shows a random multiplier lands on one or more bet spots before the spin. It only helps you if you backed that spot.
- 3The host spins: the wheel turns, the dice drop or the balls are drawn. This part is physical and filmed live - nothing you do changes it.
- 4Payout or bonus: a number segment pays at once. A bonus segment opens a second game, and only players who bet on that bonus take part.
That last point trips up most newcomers. In Crazy Time, for example, the wheel has number segments and four bonus games - Coin Flip, Cash Hunt, Pachinko and Crazy Time. If the wheel stops on Pachinko and your chips are on number 2 only, you watch the bonus from the sideline. The same goes for the Bar, Stayin' Alive, Disco and VIP Disco rounds in Funky Time.
Bet sizes are set per show and shown on the lobby tile and inside the game. As a rule, game shows are among the cheapest live games to join, and the upper limit is high enough that most players never meet it. You can spread a stake over several segments in one round; the total of all chips is your bet for that round.
RTP and Volatility of Live Game Shows
A game show has no single RTP. Each bet spot has its own return, and the figure studios and reviewers quote is usually the best bet on the board - most often the lowest number.
Crazy Time shows how wide the gap can be: its number 1 bet returns 96.08% in theory, while the Crazy Time bonus bet returns 94.41%. Sweet Bonanza CandyLand is listed at 96.48% overall, and published figures for its individual bets range from under 92% up to almost 97%. So the first rule of RTP on game shows is simple: open the paytable inside the game and read the line for the spot you are about to back.
| Show | Best-bet RTP | Top multiplier | Swing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lightning Storm | 97.44% | 20,000x | High |
| Treasure Island | 96.56% | 15,450x | Medium |
| Mega Wheel | 96.51% | 500x | Low |
| Sweet Bonanza CandyLand | 96.48% | 20,000x | High |
| Crazy Time | 96.08% | 20,000x | High |
| Funky Time | 95.99% | 10,000x | High |

The "swing" column is our own reading of how the shows play, not a studio rating - studios do not publish a volatility grade for live games the way they do for pokies. The logic is straightforward: the more of the return that sits in rare bonus rounds, the longer the dry spells between them. Mega Wheel pays small and often; Crazy Time can go many spins without a bonus and then pay a session's worth in one.
Volatility is also in your hands. Covering only the low numbers gives frequent small wins; betting only on bonus segments means most rounds lose and a few pay big. Most regulars mix the two.
For Snakes & Ladders Live we could not confirm one RTP figure - sources disagree - so the card above says "not published". The paytable inside the game is the place to check it.
Game Shows on Your Phone
Caxino has no app, and game shows do not need one. You open the site in the browser on your phone or tablet, log in and tap the show - the stream starts in the same tab.
- Both studios build their shows for touch screens: the betting grid sits under the video in portrait and beside it in landscape.
- Video quality adapts to your connection, and you can lower it by hand in the game settings if mobile data is tight.
- Chat, bet history, the paytable and the rules are behind the menu icons inside the game window, same as on desktop.
- Deposits and withdrawals work from the mobile cashier, so you do not have to switch to a computer to top up.
One practical tip: live video is the heaviest thing a casino site sends to your phone. Wi-Fi is the comfortable choice for a long session.
What You Find in the Game Show Lobby
The Caxino lobby has four main sections - Pokies, Jackpot Games, Live Casino and Table Games. Game shows live inside Live Casino, next to the roulette and blackjack tables.
- Two studios: Evolution and Pragmatic Play supply the shows, each with its own look and its own lobby inside the game window.
- Live hosts, real wheels: every round is a broadcast with a presenter and physical equipment, running 24 hours a day.
- 50% wagering weight: game show bets count half toward the welcome bonus requirement, like all live casino games.
- No demo mode: pokies can be tried for free when logged out, live shows cannot - you need a real-money balance to bet.
- Limits on the tile: the minimum and maximum bet are shown before you open the show, so there are no surprises inside.
- Search by name: type "Crazy Time" or "Mega Wheel" into the lobby search and skip the scrolling.

Game Shows vs Pokies and Tables at Caxino
Game shows borrow from every other part of the casino: the multipliers of pokies, the live stream of the tables, the simple bets of roulette. Here is how they sit next to the other game types inside Caxino.
| Game type | Pace | RTP | Bonus weight | Demo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game shows | About a minute | 95.40-97.44% | 50% | No |
| Pokies | Seconds | Set per game | 100% | Yes |
| Live tables | Dealer-paced | Set per table | 50% | No |
| RNG tables | Your own | Set per game | 50% | Yes |

The game show RTP range in the table is taken from the best-bet figures of the twelve titles above. Pace is the big practical difference. A pokie spins as fast as you tap, so a balance can move quickly in either direction. A game show gives you one decision a minute or so, with a host filling the gaps - the same budget simply lasts longer, and that is a large part of the appeal.
Against live tables, the trade is skill for spectacle. Blackjack rewards correct decisions; a wheel does not care what you know. If you want your choices to matter, tables are the better fit. If you want to lean back with a small stake and a chance at a four-figure multiplier, the Caxino Casino game shows are built for exactly that.
Playing Game Shows With the Welcome Bonus
The welcome offer is 100% up to NZ$200 plus 100 free spins on the first deposit, from NZ$10, with no promo code. You can use the bonus money on game shows - it just clears at half speed.
Wagering is 35x the bonus within 60 days. Pokies count 100%, table games and live casino count 50%, video poker counts 0%. Take a NZ$100 bonus: the requirement is NZ$3,500. Played on pokies only, that is NZ$3,500 of bets. Played on game shows only, you need NZ$7,000 of bets to clear the same amount. The maximum bet while wagering is NZ$5 per round.
The bonus is non-sticky
Your own deposit is played first. If a Crazy Time bonus round lands while you are still on real money, you can forfeit the bonus and withdraw the win without touching the wagering at all. Only once the real money is gone does the bonus balance - and its 35x - come into play.
Claim NZ$200The 100 free spins are separate: 10 a day for ten days on a pokie the casino picks, so they have nothing to do with the live lobby. A sensible split is to clear wagering on pokies and keep game shows for real-money play. You can open an account at Caxino in a couple of minutes and decide on the bonus at the deposit step.
Common Game Show Mistakes
None of these cost you an account or a payout - they just make sessions shorter than they need to be. All six are easy to fix.
Skipping the bonus bets
You only enter a bonus round if you bet on it. Watching a big multiplier from the sideline is the classic first-night regret.
Reading one RTP for all bets
The headline figure belongs to the best bet. Check the paytable for the spot you actually play.
Chasing after a dry run
A wheel has no memory. Ten spins without a bonus do not make the eleventh more likely. Keep the stake flat.
Forgetting the 50% weight
Clearing a bonus on game shows takes twice the turnover of pokies. Plan for it or play shows with real money.
Betting at the last second
Chips placed as the countdown ends may not register. Use the repeat button and bet early in the window.
Leaving ID for later
The first withdrawal needs verification. Upload photo ID and proof of address early so a big win is not waiting on paperwork.
If a round freezes or a bet looks wrong, note the time and the name of the show and message support. Live chat runs 24/7, in English.
Keeping Game Shows Fun
Game shows are designed to be watched as much as played, and it is easy to stay for "one more spin". Decide the budget and the time before the first round, not during it.
Ask support in live chat about the limit and time-out tools available on your account. The site is for players aged 18 and over. If gambling stops being entertainment, free and confidential help is available from Gambling Helpline NZ and the Problem Gambling Foundation.
Game Show Questions
Does Caxino Casino have live game shows?
Yes. Caxino names both Evolution and Pragmatic Play among its studios, and their game shows sit in the Live Casino section of the lobby. The exact line-up of tables changes over time, so open the lobby to see which shows are running today.
Can I try a game show for free first?
No. Live games have no demo mode at Caxino, because every round is a real broadcast with a real host. You can log in and watch a round or two without betting, which is the closest thing to a free trial.
Do game show bets count toward the welcome bonus wagering?
They do, at 50%. Live casino and table games carry half weight, while pokies count 100%. Every NZ$10 you stake on a wheel moves the 35x requirement forward by NZ$5, and the NZ$5 maximum bet applies while the bonus is active.
Which game show has the highest RTP?
Of the twelve shows we checked, Lightning Storm lists the highest best-bet figure at 97.44%, followed by Dream Catcher at 96.58% and Treasure Island at 96.56%. The figure applies to the best bet on the board only - bonus-round bets usually return a little less.
Are live game shows rigged?
No. The wheels, dice and ball machines are physical equipment filmed in the studio, and the random multipliers are produced by certified software from licensed studios. Caxino itself operates under licence MGA/B2C/1079/2025 from the Malta Gaming Authority.
What is the minimum bet on a game show?
Each show sets its own limits and prints them on the lobby tile and inside the game window. Game shows are among the cheaper live games to join, so a small stake per round is normal. Check the limits on the tile before you sit down.
Can I play game shows on my phone?
Yes. Caxino has no app - you open the site in your mobile browser, log in and launch the show. The stream and the betting grid adjust to portrait or landscape, and a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection is all you need.
How do I withdraw game show winnings?
The same way as any other win: through the cashier, back to the method you deposited with where possible. The minimum is NZ$20 and the casino charges no fee. Method-by-method detail is in our withdrawal limits guide.
