Introduction to Dream Catcher

Dream Catcher is a live game from Evolution and their first release featuring the Money Wheel. We’ve seen plenty of subsequent games from the provider offering this Big Wheel mechanic, making Dream Catcher a groundbreaking drop that set an industry standard. When Dream Catcher was released in 2017, it aimed to find an audience who weren’t familiar with Live games, offering a user-friendly interface and simple rules. Today, the format has evolved, and Evolution has expanded the concept, introducing Bonus Games, larger win potential, and a more immersive studio production seen in games like Crazy Time and Crazy Pachinko. The uncomplicated and straightforward gameplay might not meet today’s standards, but the fact that Dream Catcher is a pioneer and legendary game scores a solid rating.

Dream Catcher Information

This game from Evolution provides a design based on a game show theme where the Money Wheel is positioned in the middle of the screen, with the live host guiding you throughout the game. All buttons, including the Bet Spots and Account Info, are positioned on the screen’s lower edge. You can play Dream Catcher on all mobile devices, desktops, and notepads.

This game is available in two other variants:

Imperial Quest = This variant is set in an Asian-themed studio with an oriental design and game host.

First Person = This variant is a random number generated (RNG) with a similar interface, rules, and payouts. The First Person variant allows the players to control and play at their own pace. You can choose to “Go Live,” which takes you on a unique journey directly to the live Dream Catcher game show.

Gameplay

The objective of Crazy Time is to predict the segment at which the wheel will stop after the spin. 

The Money Wheel is divided into 54 equal segments, 52 of which are marked with the numbers 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, or 40, and the other two segments are a 2X and 7X Multiplier. The game host spins the wheel, and players bet on the number at which the wheel will stop.

Final Thoughts on Dream Catcher

Evolution is regarded as the global leader in Live Game, offering high-end productions with pioneering ideas. When Dream Catcher was released in 2017, it was the first time the Money Wheel feature was released, launching the Big Wheel mechanic. As we mentioned in the Introduction, we’ve seen the Money Wheel in countless games since then, making Dream Catcher groundbreaking.

Obviously, it doesn’t have the depth of many of the provider’s top releases, but it still has the charm of uncomplicated and straightforward gameplay. The rules are simple: place the bet where you think the wheel will stop, and grab potential Cash Prizes or Multipliers up to 7X. While spinning the wheel, we made some decent wins thanks to the Multipliers, which are applied to your winnings in the following spin.

Dream Catcher has made such an impression on the industry that the provider still makes reskins, such as Imperial Quest, which is the East Asian version. It’s a hard game to score because it lacks the win potential and innovative gameplay of modern releases, but considering the impact it had on the Live Game world, it gets a solid rating.

Dream Catcher is a live game that sets the standard for the Big Wheel mechanic, featuring the familiar Money Wheel for the first time!
