Introduction to Stock Market
Stock Market is a new live game from Evolution with a finance theme. The stock market is a place where you can buy and sell shares in companies, thereby acquiring ownership claims in the business. Here, you can fulfill your dream as a day trader with this "live prediction game" release. The gameplay is simplistic, predict whether the market session closes Up or Down from where it started. In terms of vibe and design, Evolution has created a realistic stock market environment, providing credibility. As mentioned, the gameplay is very basic and fails to sustain long-term interest without any significant features that add a new layer or boost win potential. If you like the stock market and find these live prediction games entertaining for a while, but for us, the gameplay is repetitive and looping, resulting in a rating below average.

Stock Market Information
This game from Evolution is designed based on a live stock trading simulation, where players predict whether a trading session will end above or below the starting value displayed on the screen. You’ll find the Portfolio on the right side of the screen, displaying all wins and losses during the game. The Up and Down buttons are positioned on the screen's lower edge, basically the “bet-button.” You can play Stock Market on all mobile devices, desktops, and notepads, and you create a win by correctly predicting whether the stock value will rise or fall.
Stock Market Payouts
The provider has not yet announced the max win of this game, and we will update as soon as possible. You play the game with an RTP of 99%.
The payout in Stock Market can be:
Up = 0.01X – 2X the bet.
Down = 0.01X – 2X the bet.
For every 1% correctly guessed stock value change grants you a 1% payout on the current bet. For every 1% wrongly guessed stock value change, it costs you 1% of the current bet. Your win or loss is equal to the stock’s percentage change.
Stock Market Gameplay
The objective of Stock Market is to correctly predict how the stock value will go during the game round, which is called a Trading Session. At the end of the session, the stock will either end above or below the starting stock value.
The two phases of this game are:
Betting phase = You place your bet on either Up or Down, based on the prediction of whether you think the stock will rise or fall. When the bet is placed, it’s added to your Portfolio.
Trading Session = This phase starts immediately after the betting phase is completed, and the value change of the stock is visualized as a dynamic chart that rises and drops within the Up and Down areas.
The outcome of the game is determined by the stock value at the point when the chart line touches the right boundary of the chart.
Cash Out Option
If you want to stop playing, use the Cash Out option anytime. Your Portfolio value will then be added to your in-game balance. The Cash Out button can only be used during the betting phase at a cost of a 1% commission fee.
Final Thoughts on Stock Market
The stock market has been depicted in many books and movies over the years, and perhaps the most famous movie in this genre in recent years is The Big Short, directed by Adam McKay. Evolution has created a believable design, and with gameplay that might find an audience among stock market fans for a short period of time.
In terms of gameplay, we are presented with a simplistic approach: you need to predict whether the market will go up or down and withdraw just in time. Without any additional Bonus Game or multipliers, it fails to create a long-term interest. You are basically just watching a graph going up or down, with a live host commenting on the “action”. We just don’t see how this game will attract players, considering other exciting live game releases on the market, such as Crazy Time or Monopoly Live.
In conclusion, with a believable stock market design and extremely easy-to-grasp gameplay, this is a live prediction game from Evolution. However, due to the lack of action and frankly, boring gameplay without any real features, it lands as a below-average release.
Stock Market is a live game with a believable design, but it fails to sustain long-term interest due to the lack of features and big payouts.
