Dream Catcher: A New Live Casino game from Evolution

The Live Casino industry just got a lot more interesting. Evolution Gaming has introduced a whole new genre of live dealer games with the introduction of Dream Catcher earlier this month at ICE Totally Gaming 2017.

Dream Catcher is the company’s first release in an upcoming series of Live Lucky Wheel games. As the classification implies, it’s a wheel game where players bet on numbers from an over-sized wheel, spun by a live dealer.

Dream Catcher is reminiscent of the ‘Big Wheel‘ or ‘Money Wheel‘ games found at many land-based casinos. It’s represented by a large, vibrantly colored wheel, filled with numbers and special multiplier slots. The precision engineered, bespoke wheel was built exclusively for Evolution by TCS John Huxley America, Inc., an amusement games developer out of Paradise, Nevada.

The new live casino game is another one of Evolution’s now-famous ‘Immersive‘ live dealer titles, following in the footsteps of the enormously successful (and award winning) Immersive Roulette.

It features a series of HD cameras set up all around the wheel, giving players a number of dynamic camera angles – some delivered in slow motion – to really draw players in. The experience is further enhanced by special lighting and sound effects that are auto-synchronized to the game.

The studio set up is similar to a game show, where the Dream Catcher live dealer is responsible for spinning the wheel with each new betting round, and interacting with the players the same way dealers of the brand’s other live casino products do.

To play the new Live Lucky Wheel game, players will click on the amount they wish to bet, and the number they want to bet on – 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 40. Like other wheel games of this nature, the number matches it’s payout, and the lower it is, the more often it appears on the wheel.

Located at opposite end of the wheel are two special segments labeled 2x Multiplier and 7x Multiplier. Hitting these instantly pays out to all players the corresponding multiplier, according to their bet size.

New Live Casino Game For All Players

Evolution Gaming’s Chief Product Officer, Todd Haushalter, was especially excited about the big reveal at 2017 ICE on February 7, and said these new Live Lucky Wheel games are being designed to appeal to all types of casino players.

“This is a momentous launch for us because Dream Catcher will expose live casino to players who don’t play table games and therefore don’t play live casino. There are millions of slot, bingo, and other players who we are reaching out to with this product,” he said.

“It is intentionally simple and friendly to play, and with the potential for the 2x and 7x multipliers to keep hitting sequentially, players can win thousands of times their initial bet, just like in slots,” lauded Haushalter.

He went on to describe Dream Catcher Live Lucky Wheel as being “almost like a game show that you can play along with at home.” The CPO is confident that the new live casino game will appeal to both slot and table game fans.

“We really tried hard to make Dream Catcher a game that will expand the live casino space and we hope the players find it as fun as we do,” he said.

Dream Catcher is now live streaming from Evolution’s live casino studio in Riga, Latvia, and is available for desktop, mobile and tablet.
