Dream Catcher (Evolution Gaming) slot review

Dream Catcher from Evolution Gaming features a massive Money Wheel and ultra-simple gameplay. The multi-colored, super-sized Wheel of Fortune comes with 54 segments, 2 of which are multiplier segments of 2x and 7x, respectively. The other segments are different numbers you place your bets on, and wins up to £500,000 is possible here.

The live host keeps the excitement going between each spin, and everything can be streamed in crisp HD quality on both mobile, tablet and laptop/desktop. There are multiple camera angles and close-ups for dramatic effect. You can enjoy the show while chatting away with other players (and the live host), as you relax with this straightforward and exciting live game.

Dream Catcher Odds, Features & How to play

You start by placing your bet on the number you think the Money Wheel will stop at, and the possible numbers are as follows: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 40. The live host then spins the wheel, and the winning number is determined when the wheel comes to a halt.

To make things as simple as possible for you, the payout matches the actual number on the money wheel. Here is a table that provides you with a nice overview of all relevant data:

The number 1 has the highest chance of winning each round, but it does not have the highest return to player percentage. This, of course, is due to the payout calculation. Your best bet in the long run is therefore 10, if your sole focus is on the theoretical returns.

You can place bets between 10p and £2,000 per round here, which should cater to most player types. Keep in mind that these limits may vary between casinos. You will see a traffic light system indicating when to place bets. Green means it’s betting time, while amber means time is short. Red means that no more bets can be placed for this round.

You can place bets on up to all 6 numbers if you want, and there is also a “bet on all” button to make this easier for you. Once the round is over, you can repeat the previous bet, double it or place a totally new bet as you see fit.

If the Money Wheel lands on either of the 2 multiplier segments, all bets are held in place and the wheel spins again. The multiplier value is then applied to the next number that lands. However, if you land on the multiplier segment more than once in a row, the multipliers are kept in escrow until a winning number is finally picked.

This is perhaps best illustrated with an example. Let’s say you land on the 2x multiplier 3 times in a row, and then you win with 10. You will then benefit from a 2x2x2 = 8x multiplier. This gives you a 10 x 8 win, which equals 80x your chosen stake. There is no upper limit as to how many multipliers you can stack like this, but the max win is capped at £500,000 either way.

Review Summary

Dream Catcher offers simple fun in a glamorous game show-style setting, and it was also the first live game concept that broke with the traditional table game setup. The immersive multi-camera-angle action, combined with stacking multipliers and a lively chat, has carved out a niche for this live game where none existed before. Evolution has proven yet again that they are on top of their (live) game, and we hope they keep bringing innovation to the table also in the future.

Pros

• Immersive live game money wheel
• 2x and 7x multiplier segments
• Stacked multiplier action for wins up to £500,000

Cons

• Only the 10 bet has an RTP that can rival most modern slots

If you enjoy Dream Catcher you should also try:

There are not all that many games similar to this out there, but we have come up with a few rather obvious options. Feel free to check them out further via the links provided in the brief presentation below.

First Person Dream Catcher - is the Random Number Generator (RNG) version of the game at hand, also from Evolution Gaming. It’s basically the same game, but with a 3D animated studio instead of a live studio. Everything else is the same, and it’s a good option if you feel like setting your own pace, or if you’re not really in a social mood. The live game is never more than a click away via the “go live” button.

Money Wheel - is a similar Play’n Go powered wheel of fortune game. However, this is also an RNG based game, and not a live game. Still, it’s a decent alternative, as it comes with lower volatility and payouts than the game at hand. This makes it more suitable for low risk/reward players, but keep in mind that it also comes with customizable RTP ranges.
